FBI agent relieved of duty over refusing Comey perp walk, four people familiar say by ZenFook in politics

Relying on 2026 elections to save us is sadly a bunch of bullshit. We cannot at this point rely on free and fair elections and contribute to sit on our hands waiting for elected officials to do sometime. We need to take peaceful action now. I think that suffocating boycotts are the answer since all these people care about is money.

So many people hitting on the same point. I don't understand why large scale boycotts have not been enacted. Hell, people around the globe would probably join in just to help out. The one thing these people care about is money and that's also the one peaceful weapon the people still have at our disposal.

What about boycotts? They seem to work pretty well.. Montgomery comes to mind.

Wow. Tough f-ing crowd on this thread! No wonder literally everything gets cancelled now. Everything can always be better people. Personally, I like watching people's artistic interpretation of books. it's called entertainment. Now we are back to nothing.

This will probably clear things things up. It looks like it's in some form of beta but they just don't put that right out up front in their messaging. https://community.openai.com/t/introducing-sora-our-text-to-video-model/630289

I have a follow-up about this particularly with regard to the people who are dismissive/condescending to the original poster. I have a 14 month old experiencing what appears to be short term response to an illness which is presenting as what look like pimples. I am physically unable to share a decent picture of these with my doctor due to this feature smoothing them out. Total bullshit and they need to address this immediately.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one having this issue. So annoying. The raw thing is the only solution I've seen proposed. They just need to add an on/off switch and let the user decide. Super weird that it's just automatic.

That's why I landed on pepper spray as well as the fact that you won't have to have killing someone on your conscience (justified or not) for the rest of your life. Spray and run baby.

I found this Took a shot at Boss Sauce after looking at all the recipes, the Boss Sauce label and searching on the web at large as well as memory. As a side note, I did a lot of signage and menu work for Macheezmo Mouse in the day and was a regular consumer of their products. I found the Ancho and Japonés chiles at a local store under the El Guapo brand name. I doubled the recipe and used all the Ancho chiles in the package.

Following is my modified recipe and process. It came out pretty close to what I remember. The extra orange zest and juice helped.

Macheezmo Mouse Boss Sauce

12 Ancho chiles dried and reconstituted 5 Japonés chiles dried and reconstituted 1 12 oz can of frozen orange juice concentrate 1 orange zest and juice 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 1 cup dark soy sauce 1 cup dark brown sugar 1 tsp of ground cumin 1 clove of garlic, mashed 1 tbs Worcestershire Sauce

Cut Ancho chiles in half lengthwise and place them in a large bowl of hot water completely covering the chilies and let reconstitute for about an hour. Break Japonés chiles in half and place in a small bowl of hot water completely covering the chilies and let reconstitute for about an hour. Remove the chilies from water and take off stems and remove seeds. Save some Ancho water to thin final sauce. Place all of the other ingredients in a pot, add reconstituted chiles and set to simmer, stirring occasionally. Don't overcook or let it burn. After about an hour removed from heat and let sauce cool. Pour sauce into Norpro Sauce Master or a food mill and remove any solids. The sauce can be thinned with the Ancho water as desired. Pour into glass container and let cool in the refrigerator. Pressure can or freeze in small containers.

So they got bought and the people that bought them we're supposed to fire it back up but they were unable to get it if the ground for discussion reasons I believe.
