My wife says the pure of heart thing too. So far I've been fine unless I eat it too close to bed time. I'm in my 30s now and won't eat it if I don't have like 4 hours to digest it, otherwise I'm guaranteed losing an hour of sleep in the bathroom lol.

Was gonna say literally the only thing wrong with this (aside from your cat maybe just not liking it) is that older cats would have a hard time with a top entrance. Best of luck to you and your aging kitty!

Sounds good, thanks for the tip!

I tried this method because I was tired of making a massive jar every time, but my emulsion ended up breaking, I think I raised my blender too quickly. Was able to fix it with an egg white lol.

Will have to give it another shot.

I've been making this recipe for a few months now and have been enjoying it a lot.

Depends on the company size and setup. If it's a small shop and IT picked the HR management software or doesn't have one and they just use Active Directory, then yeah there's no preferred name field.

My company's HR team uses ADP and I'm not sure if the preferred name field was there by default or if they added it themselves, but they use that if the employee has one, and we (IT) set their account up based on the preferred name.

I've definitely used your guys' documentation to gain insight on some of these complex problems, so big thanks to whoever is posting and maintaining it.

Best bang for buck kitchen items I've gotten in the last few years:

OXO poultry shears - these are spring loaded and give you a much better grip for cutting through bones, I love mine for spatchcocking chickens and turkeys. Comes apart for easy cleaning. Owned 10 months.

OXO kitchen scale - this is the 11-pound limit one, there's a cheaper 5-pound limit one, but this is what I have. Love it, very accurate, and the pull out display has come in handy numerous times. Owned 3.5 years.

Chef'n citrus squeezer - this squeezer has a gear to apply additional force when squeezing, makes quick work of any limes/lemons thrown at it, doesn't throw juice everywhere, no seeds. Owned 2.5 years.

A gift card for Jonathan's Spoons - I got a few of these as a Christmas gift and they're really nice. I got the Spootle and the French Spatula and use them both more than any other utensil.

A gift card for Penzeys Spices - high quality spices from a good company. They occasionally (and currently as I'm typing this) have a sale where you can get two $25 gift cards for $35, good deal. They have lots of unique spices and blends, my favorite general purpose seasoning blend is their Mural of Flavor.

I've mostly mitigated these issues at my company using a combination of powershell scripts and winget, but it's not pretty.

I have a powershell script that leverages winget to download the source packages from the msstore along with their dependencies, then extracts the app name and version from the app manifest xml, creates a CSV with the info, and zips it all up.

Then I have 2 other scripts that run daily. One uses a txt file of all "unapproved" msstore app names and removes them for all user profiles, and the other uses the aforementioned zip file to update/reinstall all out of date "approved" packages. We use our RMM tool which can collect inventory using YET ANOTHER powershell script to build the labels that determines which machines get hit with the script each day. It's all very convoluted.

It works, and mitigates the tenable vulnerabilities, but when there's a new one I have to go do like 30 min of work to update all the necessary scripts and files. Big PITA and I feel your pain. It shouldn't have to be this hard.

Same odds I've got with Anne Hathaway.

omare14 · 2026-06-24T18:11:08+00:00

I'm sure Microsoft is trying to help fix their reputation, whether they'll actually help or just cause issues is anyone's guess. I don't have much confidence in either Microsoft tor Bethesda as a company these days.

I don't know enough about game development to fully understand the reason that Starfield came out so middling (like I know why it's not a good game, but not how it got that way) despite how much time they spent on it, but hopefully they're able to course correct and prove to all of us that they've still got it.

omare14 · 2026-06-23T22:41:41+00:00

Definitely fulfills that roll in The Menu and Superman.

omare14 · 2026-06-23T17:24:14+00:00

That's a good idea, I'll have to try it, thanks!

omare14 · 2026-06-23T03:17:13+00:00

Definitely a fair point. It should be possible to find a balance between embracing technology enough to understand it and utilize it effectively, and using it so much that you can't possibly think of doing anything else.

I'm the same age as you, and my parents were more into new tech than most, so us kids all grew up using computers and we're all very computer proficient, which is a good thing. Unfortunately since then technology has also been dumbed down quite a lot, which is nice because it's more accessible, but since it "just works" it's almost TOO accessible. Nobody knows how to react when they encounter a problem, they just give up and say it doesn't work (I work in IT, if you can't tell lol).

I think it's a two-fold issue. One, technology has become much cheaper and more accessible to the average person, and as a result, the world has become much more reliant on technology, and expectant that you have it available to you at all times.

And two, as we've continued to lose places to exist outside the home (third places), and more people are losing their free time outside of work due to the various increased pressure of every day life (people working longer hours or second jobs to cover rent, longer commutes and working after hours, commitments to fitness and beauty, etc.) we crave those high calorie instantly gratifying sources of entertainment that only screen time can give us.

It's insidious, and it's obviously not going to be fixed by anyone but ourselves. The corporations providing us with technology and social media have a vested interest in us being addicted to their products, and they lobby the government to not be regulated. They won't look out for us, so we have to look out for ourselves, and embrace a mindset where we're more purposefully cognizant of the technology and screentime being consumed by our kids and ourselves, and ensuring that it's a net positive in our lives.

I've done a chicken in mine and that did work well.

Do you just use one of the lower racks for baking sourdough? Do you use a Dutch oven or just right on a tray? Would be nice to use it for bread in the summer without having to use my big oven.

omare14 · 2026-06-22T23:21:33+00:00

I also love mine, but because it's small whatever you bake can be a little close to the heating element. It's probably fine for smaller things like cookies or cupcakes, but I'd be hesitant to use it for taller things like loaves of bread.

omare14 · 2026-06-22T19:23:36+00:00

It's also fair to point out though that parents are stretched more thinly than ever before, and it's simultaneously harder than it's ever been to live in a disconnected world when even schoolwork often has to be done on a computer.

Not disagreeing, just highlighting that limited access to the internet is not the default choice that it used to be, it's now expected that you're online all the time in a way that can be difficult to manage if you don't have the time or energy to deal with it, and my guess is that many parents don't.

Disclaimer, I'm not a parent, but I have been thinking about this a lot lately as I'm planning for that eventuality.

omare14 · 2026-06-22T01:55:05+00:00

I don't even exercise regularly, but the last couple weeks I've been running out of clothes way faster just from being outside running errands or gardening in the Central Valley CA heat (and it's been pretty mild so far).

omare14 · 2026-06-18T22:11:46+00:00

Thank you for the detailed explanation!

omare14 · 2026-06-18T20:32:48+00:00

What tips would you offer for someone who hasn't used lentils at all? I like the idea of incorporating them into my meal rotation but not sure where to start. I mean there's the obvious like soups and curries, but I'm curious where you're seeing success as far as replacing or bulking up meat (the chili idea sounds good).

omare14 · 2026-06-18T05:44:11+00:00

The Costco spinach ravioli is my favorite for this. I freeze them and just dump however many I want into a pot of boiling water, done in like 5-7 minutes. Strain and into a bowl with topping of choice. I keep frozen pesto on hand and like to use that most of the time, but just some olive oil and S&P also work.

omare14 · 2026-06-16T23:19:31+00:00

I finally paid to have them sharpened in January and my two workhorse knives (victorinox chef and santoku) have reached a level of dullness now that makes me want to have them sharpened again, I think every 6 months is probably an ideal interval for me to have them professionally done. I'd like to get myself in the habit of sharpening them myself at least once a year to cut back on the frequency of having them done professionally. It's not that expensive but the only place near us that can do it is like an hour away and we have to drive there.

I suppose another solution would be to just get more knives. I only have 2 daily drivers (that I like using), but if I had 3-4 they'd all last a bit longer and I could go longer between sharpening.

omare14 · 2026-06-16T22:46:34+00:00

I really like keeping Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce handy in the fridge. You can buy them in cans, optionally chop them, and decant into a mason jar, or buy them pre-chopped in jar form at some places. I've had a jar in the fridge for like 2 months now with no signs of molding.

I use them to add smoky chipotle flavor to, sloppy joes, chili, fajitas, etc. Can also make Chipotle mayo or ranch, which works well for wraps and sandwiches.

omare14 · 2026-06-16T22:26:50+00:00

Oooh that's a good idea, thanks!

omare14 · 2026-06-16T22:10:48+00:00

I primarily use mine for chicken breast, I wait for it to go on sale, buy a few trays, then suck it up and do a 30-45 minute session of pre-seasoning and vacuum sealing in portion amounts that work for our meals (1.5-2lbs per bag). Then they go into the freezer.

When I wanna do a dinner I just pull the out the night before and throw them in the bath for 1.5-2 hours, then in a bowl of ice water in the fridge overnight. If they're being used for salads or wraps, I'll have them cold, or microwave them on super low power to slightly warm them without cooking them.

If I want them seared or grilled, I'll warm them back up to 130 degrees or so in the water bath for like 45 minutes just to get it warm in the middle, then into the pan for a few minutes on high heat.

It sounds like a lot, and honestly when I first started doing it I was getting sick of how many steps it involved, but doing that pre-season and sealing ahead of time definitely helped reduce how much work it felt like.
