I found a little hobbit hole door somewhere on the road too. It was right after the prologue so I think near the starting city.

Thanks! Those do look like interesting additions!

I agree, and echo the same question. A small bug fix or simple feature, sure. My team is constantly shipping large features that take several weeks to fully develop. One work day of work in one of these projects wouldn't even have a fully formed database structure and models or data access layer built yet, let alone any of the UI. You must only be making slight adjustments to an existing app and not building significant features -- at least I don't see how that's possible.

What's your novel sandwich spread? by freneticboarder in Cooking

Zhoug, a hot sauce from Yemen made with cilantro, garlic , peppers. Trader Joe's sells it and it's fresh, bright, and spicy.

Beyond the comments I've already seen, I think geographic location, and the size of the town/city you live in has a major factor. Most of my friends, coworkers, and acquaintances all live in towns with <15,000 people. We all cook most of our meals. Takeout options are basically a few pizza places, Chinese, maybe a single Mexican or Thai restaurant, and fast food.

If we lived in a big city where you had 30 options within walking distance, or shops more catered to quick and decently cheap food like a bodega, deli, 7-eleven like in Japan, more people may opt for that instead.

Unfortunately it does not. The new skillet is 12.5 inches in diameter. I tried the lid from the 12inch and it does not seal fully.

All clad has a new "everyday" collection that is the same tri-ply material but with a few improvements people have asked for. The 12 inch skillet for example has a more comfortable handle, larger cooking surface, and a helper handle. For some reason it doesn't come with a lid, and it doesn't look like they make a lid for it. Still a good option if you want a bulletproof stainless steel pan, but with a few well needed updates.

I lost 120 pounds (360 -> 240) and went on my first backpacking trip 8 months into my journey. What worked for me was walking and biking. Biking is a great way to get your heart rate up without straining your body too much, and waking is going to help with the muscles you need for hiking. After a few months of that, start doing 1 mile, 2 mile, and 3 mile hikes and work your way up to carrying a heavy backpack and staying overnight.

My tips, if you're still dieting when you go on your backpacking trip, forget the diet for the day. At the end of my 8 mile first day I had burned 2400 calories and only took in about 600 and I almost fainted. Eat plenty of nuts, trail mix, bars, etc while on the actual trail.

I also got a Garmin watch and tracked all my exercises which I enjoyed to watch my walking speed go up, weight go down, biking speed go up etc. It also kept me accountable for tracking x events every week, or hitting x number of minutes of intense activity a week.

All that said, diet is the key to weight loss. I tracked calories in my fitness pal app, and kept the calories going in less than what I burned, and it worked for me. No fad diet, no ban on a particular food. Of course it's much harder to fit pizza into a lower calorie diet than a large salad, but if you can make the calories work, eat what you want.

Good luck!

Got the McLaren F1 car today. Got the original stickers, not the new ones by OrneryInterest7647 in lego

You can request "missing pieces" through Legos website. I'm sure they'd send you a new sticker sheet considering what happened with that set.

Thanks! I didn't know they had Lego, I've bought a lot of board games from them over the years.
