I don't understand why underbaked borderline raw cookies are such a popular trend.
  • This is a trend? Then why all of the sudden can't I find any cookies in my local grocery stores that aren't hard as tits? This has been my cookie preference for my whole life!!

  • The Extreme Cost of Training AI Models.
  • Gas like natural gas? Or gas like gasoline? I'm sure it's the former, but I take nothing for granted anymore.

  • Trump rejects second Harris debate
  • Has any of you ever SEEN a chicken?

  • Harris previews her Trump debate plan: 'I think he's gonna lie'
  • That was China's fault, or the democrats. Not Trump. Remember when he went to Puerto Rico and threw rolls of paper towels at hurricane survivors?

  • Harris campaign raised $361m in August, triple the amount of Trump campaign
  • That's almost half a billion in one month between the two candidates. That money could have paid off a lot of student loans, daycare bills or medical bills.

  • Snopes: [True] Project 2025 Wants All **Public** High School Students To Take Military Entrance Exam?
  • Some additional context:

    This was 99-00. There was no war. Both of my grandparents served in ww2 and Korea to gain US citizenship. My dad came up in the Vietnam era when all his friends were getting drafted (aka forced to go to war). He tried to enlist but was blind in one eye, so they didn't take him. My brother would have enlisted if it weren't for a really bad skateboarding injury.

    If I were good at football, it would have been university coaches knocking on my door. I was good at something the military was interested in, so they tried to recruit me to enlist.

    I was 18 on 9/11/01. And my first thought was that Bush would take us to war, I'd get drafted and I needed to plan my escape to Canada. This was scarier than being recruited. I just wanted to play my bass guitar and smoke my marijuana in peace.

  • Snopes: [True] Project 2025 Wants All **Public** High School Students To Take Military Entrance Exam?
  • My high school made everyone take the asvab. I must have scored well on it because the military was up my ass. I remember uniformed soldiers regularly ringing the bell and asking for me. I had zero interest in joining the armed services, but they kept coming. My mom started answering the door for me; yelling at them to get lost and leave us alone.

  • Trump's rambling is getting worse | His speech is becoming harder and harder to understand.
  • It's pretty well documented that Trump is a teetotler. He is the way he is without the help of any mood or mind altering substances.

    I just discovered this guy last night and I'm in love.

  • Yes, I am fully capable of being a different person: efficient, organized and methodical. I just choose not to because the opposite is so fulfilling.

    lazy Sunday smoked chicken thighs

    I smoked a bunch of boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They're quick, easy and versatile. I do a 1 hour wet brine and lightly rub with whatever I have on hand. I don't sauce, spray or even look at them until the temp probe says 170.

    I've been shredding them and serving with white sauce, but they'd work just as well serving whole with sweet baby ray's.

    The sauce (not pictured):

    my insurance stopped covering name brand vyvanse

    And guess what is on back order at every nearby pharmacy? I'll give you a hint: it's not the $300 per month name brand.

    So I guess I switch to Adderall xr tomorrow?

    my daughter's first computer

    I finally found a use for an underpowered sbc I bought during the pandemic. I put Debian base, lightdm and sugar on it. It was a fun project for me. Hopefully it introduces a lifelong love of computers.

    She already had a text to speech robot saying things like poopy, fart, butt stink and fire in the hole. The apple doesn't fall too far from the dingleberry.

    Midwestern carnival fried desserts

    The oreo was delicious as you'd expect. The brownie bite was like hot brownie batter coated in pancake, powdered sugar and caramel sauce. I will absolutely do that again.

    Mistakes were made, but it's nothing tums and laying down can't fix.

    my little gambler is in the hospital again

    I posted a picture of my little girl playing the slots yesterday. We had actually just come from an immediate care place. We told them she was starting a new UTI/kidney infection. She just got out of the hospital less than 2 weeks ago and has previous history with this problem.

    These infections go from zero to 100. She'll go from no fever to 106+ in under an hour. So we were desperate for some help yesterday. The doctor listened to our story, looked at the chart, and decided she was fine.

    Today we're back in the ER with another runaway infection. We came because we couldn't control the fever that blew up out of nowhere. She's being admitted and will be here for several days. We are exhausted and disheartened.

    my daughter came up with a plan to pay off her medical bills

    She was up $0.80 at one point, but chose to reinvest her winnings into more spins. This proved to be a strategic blunder, though, as she walked away penniless and disheartened about 15 seconds later.

    sides: smoked cream cheese

    This is a fad I'm glad I tried. Just sprinkle some of your rub (or ranch powder in this case, because "ope") and throw it on some tin foil next to your meat for the last 2 -3 hours. It's an easy crowd pleaser and delicious with Ritz crackers.
