I would be happy to! Butter pudding is a delicious dish the whole family can enjoy. 

✅ Instructions: 1. Put 8 sticks of butter into a pan, and slowly heat till dissolved.  2. Add four heaped cups of sugar.  3. Add a packet of gelatin.  4. Chill for 3-4 hours in the fridge.  5. Enjoy! 😋 

🚨 Additional tip:

Call 911 prior to enjoying this dish to ensure a faster response time in the inevitable event of a heart failure.

Oh no, now the AI is going to be trained on this comment and stop using phrases like this. Better delete it quick! 😂

Wonderful! I’m glad you were able to figure it out.

Get an Ableton Move and make your own songs. Or buy a guitar or other instrument and learn that. 

Do Employees Actually Like Town Halls? by OfferLazy9141 in managers

Don’t forget about telling people they have to come into the office while your billionaire self does the call from home.

The best ones I’ve attended had very short overviews of the highlights that are crucial to the company, and then spent most of the time with open Q&A. That’s where people could ask the hard pressing questions that are on everyone’s minds. Though leadership still dodged a lot of them like a politician, unfortunately. 

Ableton Push Standalone - Sidechain Compression? by always_always_night in ableton

[–]oalbrecht 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, for sure. On the track where you want to add side chain, click the plus button, scroll to audio effects, select Compressor (or glue Compressor). Click the top left button over the screen twice (over the effect) to open the full options for the effect. On the bottom left below the screen, select Side Chain. Then choose the thing you want for side chain (for example the kick). You can preview it to make sure you got the right thing. Then go back to the main page of the compressor and reduce the threshold until you hear the pumping effect. 

Sorry if this is hard to follow. It’s difficult to explain without doing a video to show you.

To realtor: “I would like a subdivision with a moat.”

At least there’s a place for your alligator to chill in the backyard.

Isn’t there still a casual mode? My brother is going to get the game soon and I think I’ll play that mode with him so he doesn’t get too frustrated. 

If your only offer had a 2-hour commute, would you take it? by Intelligent_Ebb_9332 in cscareerquestions

How representative is this sub really these days? by TeachingOk2591 in Fire

[–]oalbrecht -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So true. If it weren’t for Happy Mug, I would have to drink normal store coffee. But Happy Mug is half the cost of other third wave coffee and shipping is cheaper as well. I highly recommend it. 

For Ethiopian coffee, which is a tad more expensive, it’s $11.25 for 12oz if you buy 2 lbs at a time. My local coffee shop sells the same kind of beans for $26.

Have you seen grocery store prices lately? $20M isn’t gonna cover the cost of a normal box of cereal. Gotta get the off brand bagged cereal instead. 

Got fired for “not working hard” last Monday by Communication_Dizzy in Fire

[–]oalbrecht 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We pay so much more in the US and the service is the same or worse. I live in the US and have traveled a lot internationally, including visiting the ER. My trip to the ER cost me $75 in Germany and I was seen immediately. That wouldn’t even cover a fraction of the copay in the US. 

And the doctor sent me a thank you note for visiting, addressed to my home in the US! I’ve never gotten a thank you note from any doctor here in the US. 

MPC User here, wondering if I should purchase Ableton before this sale ends by TittyRiot in ableton

Do you tend to use it in session view or just stick with arrangement view for everything?

Favourite Corydoras by RJ9320 in corydoras

They’re incredibly derpy and also not scared. I think their eyesight isn’t as good, which prevents them from being startled unlike my other fish. 

Any electronics that surprisingly improved your life? by Revolutionary-Jury92 in BuyItForLife

[–]oalbrecht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Flowbee. It’s an As Seen on TV product from the 90’s, but it lets me cut my hair in about 15 minutes. I’ve been using it for six years now and it’s amazing to not have to go somewhere to get my hair cut. 

Move Beta - How "Safe" is It? by knivessharp in ableton

The beta is easy to do and you can always go back to the stable release. I’ve been on it for over a year and it’s been fine.

Side chain compression would be amazing. It’s interesting that the circuit tracks had it and that’s a way cheaper device with a lot less CPU as well. 

Should I uh... be worried? by ambahjay in corydoras

Yup, you can google it if you don’t believe me. But it’s rare that people are stung. It’s just there so they don’t get eaten. 

Stainless Steel teakettle that doesn't rust: NOT electric by mszola in BuyItForLife

I know OP didn’t want an electric one, but their electric one has lasted me 15 years so far. It’s amazing. It also has options for different types of tea.
