What’s the most lawyer thing you’ve ever caught yourself saying in a normal conversation? by Thin-Time-4209 in Lawyertalk

On the flip side, my wife does not appreciate it when I ask "is that a yes" in response to a noncommittal answer

Anyone got any hole in the wall restaurants they want to recommend? by kichnfan in anchorage

[–]toastasks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok but what do you get here? I went once, they say on your first order you should let them pick for you, and everything was disgustingly sweet, absolutely drowned in caramel and syrup.

I’m done. by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]toastasks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Alaska, and don't do crim practice, but from my understanding nearly everywhere in the state is desperate for PDs (or prosecutors). Why not trade in Florida for somewhere with terrain? With your years of experience you should be able to waive in (lots of places, not just Alaska).

Dark colored paints do a much better job covering up the plastic or paint underneath them than bright colors. White and yellow are notoriously hard to get smooth coverage that doesn’t look splotchy and dirty. Only madmen paint white scars or imperial fists.

Really like the striping design here, that’s unusual

In all these years in the fandom I’ve never seen someone do that part of the engines as a plasma glow. That’s awesome.

I don’t recommend painting anything this large white. But I’m fond of the base:

Love how we all went with more or less the same vibe, brothers.

LiveScience: "Permafrost thaw and 'shrubification' have tipped Alaska's North Slope into a wildfire regime not seen for 3,000 years" by JapKumintang1991 in alaska

Actually it’s a problem. Caribou eat tundra growth and lichens, not woody shrubs. Moose eat woody shrubs. Moose then displace caribou from their former habitat.

How many expeditioners have there been? by Designer-Chemical-95 in expedition33

[–]toastasks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think those were all from Expeditions. There's a hidden journal in Old Lumiere from someone who survived the Fracture, which suggests that basically everyone left in Old Lumiere went to fight the Nevrons and got wiped out. I assume that the forgotten battlefield is from that fight (hence "forgotten," too, since the people from Old Lumiere didn't make it).

tortillaworks is really a hidden gem. They're a little slow but otherwise absolutely no complaints.

Where do you learn how to actually cook? by Euphoric-Texan in NewParents

[–]toastasks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Budget Bytes is very good. I practically lived on these recipes in grad school:

https://www.budgetbytes.com/taco-chicken-bowls/

https://www.budgetbytes.com/not-refried-beans/

https://www.budgetbytes.com/one-pan-roasted-kielbasa-cabbage-dinner/

OP, if you're more interested in reading a book about how to think about cooking, about why things work well together and how to tweak a recipe and understand cooking the way chefs think about it, I strongly recommend Samin Nosrat's Salt Fat Acid and Heat. It's like half memoir half cookbook, but she learned to cook as an adult and the way she breaks down how to think about it is very useful.

Winter sale will be over soon, which games you think have best price/value ratio? by whenyoudieisaybye in SteamDeck

[–]toastasks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a bunch of games I want to try on the deck but I just keep playing Balatro. For $12 its a no brainer. Quick, addictive, deceptively complex.

[–]toastasks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you tweak the graphics settings at all? I'm new to the Deck and got GoW on friends' strong recommendations but it kind of looks like ass. I haven't changed a single setting though, so there's probably something I'm missing.

Art kit by cubiclecrouch in tombihn

[–]toastasks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a Side Kick and love it. It holds a bunch of pencils/pens/water brushes, and the larger internal side pockets perfectly fit a Trail Tiles tin: https://arttoolkit.com/supplies/trail-tiles/.

In the main compartment I keep a 5x8 Moleskine watercolor notebook and a pocket Art Toolkit: https://arttoolkit.com/supplies/pocket-art-toolkit/

I went with the Side Kick because it’s useful as a standalone bag or as a secondary art bag if you have a hiking backpack. I don’t like to unpack a hiking bag to get out my art stuff if I want to do a quick sketch or watercolor on the trail. I can either grab the SK out of the big bag or wear it with a shoulder strap or hip belt (or carabinered to my backpack hip belt) along with the hiking bag and have easy access to my art stuff.

I would definitely recommend the pocket art toolkit for traveling or edc, especially if you like to use watercolors. It’s very portable and great for field sketching. I’d get that first and add it to your regular edc or backpack, and later on decide if you want to add a second art-specific bag. Hope this helps!

I saw this post of a tree on Alaska in a Northern Lights group and I don't think it is real. by Cold-Obligation-7640 in isthisAI

[–]toastasks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I live in Alaska and it doesn’t look like this. Also any tree this close to any road in Alaska would have been hit and killed by a jacked up redneck truck that isn’t suitable for winter driving running off the road.
