I think I bought 1 bottle at 0% and decided I’d rather have the money.

Found this on Reddit years ago, and it’s been my go to since.

Ingredients:

2 lb 80/20 ground chuck

1 lb 90/10 ground sirloin

1 lb smoked sausage

½ lb thick cut bacon (optional)

1 Tbsp butter (optional)

1 large yellow onion, finely chopped

2 jalapeno peppers, diced (w/seeds)

4 serrano peppers, diced (w/seeds if you want it hot)

2 red bell pepper, diced (remove center and seeds)

6 cloves of garlic, minced

3 Ancho chilies

1 Pasilla chile

1 Costeña chile

1 guajillo chile

1 New Mexico chile

Small can of chipotles in adobo sauce

Small can of sun dried tomatoes

29 oz can crushed tomatoes

2 Tbsp cumin

2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar

½ Tbsp red pepper

~12 oz Young’s chocolate stout beer

Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Seed and stem the dried chilies (anchos, pasilla, costena, guajillo, and NM). Heat them in enough water (or chicken stock) to cover the chilies and let them soak for 15 minutes.
2. If including bacon, slice the bacon into squares, and fry in a large pot. When finished, remove the bacon leaving the rendered fat.
3. Over medium high heat, (melt butter if not using bacon) add onion (let onions caramelize for a bit), jalapenos, serranos, and red bells peppers (they should sizzle when you add them) to the bacon fat (or butter) and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onions start to turn translucent. Add the garlic about halfway through this step.
4. Add the meat and sausage and cook until fully browned.
5. At this point the chilies should be soft. Remove them from the water (discard water, it will be bitter), and place them in a blender along with the chipotles in adobo sauce and sun dried tomatoes (tomatoes added toward the end).
6. Maybe add some beer to help move everything around.
7. Puree until nice and smooth and then add to chili pot along with crushed tomatoes, spices and everything else. Stir well. Cook at a low simmer for 2-4 hours.

I switched to a vape and progressively got lower nicotine amounts until I was at 0 and then stopping was easy.

True in theory, but in practice, those are pretty much universally accepted curse words. I personally swear all of the time when I know the audience I’m around, and hear people swearing from across my office, so culturally it’s not a thing where I work or especially my previous manufacturing job. In places that have outside customers or patients, the expectation is generally different and varying levels of masking those outbursts is required, sometimes even saying things like "crap"is too much.

Until it’s escalated, and then it’s definitely OPs problem. Most jobs have something about professionalism written is their handbook. The coworker will win that fight with hr every time.

You never know when you’ll find yourself in a position where there are 20 choices and you just can’t decide.

I agree that there are too many commercials, especially in sports. However, commercials an ads are what keep shows on TV, unless you’re paying for a service, which is still mostly funded by ads, but it’s grosser.

I didn’t like commercials, and I almost never watch live TV, but I understand their existence as a means for the product to exist for “free”.

If the frequency was less, the volume wasn’t double that of every show, and political ads weren’t allowed or at least limited, TV would be a much happier place.

Was the Segway guy as shitty as musk?

Music theory.

You would still have to pass the cert exams. The programs are to prepare you for the exams.

The tax burden went up 75x and the property was reassessed 100x higher. Both are true.

See, I think of the egg as being possessed by the mother, so it would still be a chicken’s egg to me, but it could simultaneously be a “something else” egg.

I had this exact discussion within the last year. The first egg was a chicken egg. Every subsequent egg was a chicken’s egg.

Plenty of reasons I can think of other than the economy. LGBTQ+ rights, child labor laws being removed, and access to medical services being limited or illegal are some big factors.

Are you taking about previews? Yes, those are ads. The intro to a show that is the same every episode, those aren’t ads, but are skipable.

Because it’s part of the show? What is it advertising? Usually there are some amount of credits. Certainly not ads.

Same. I have had a couple of hiccups but nothing more than I did gaming on Windows. Overall my transition to Linux, especially for gaming, has gone exceptionally smooth.

Some of us are tired of watching gangs (ACAB), Nazis (Musk, Republicans), and other billionaires kill people or use their power to ruin people’s lives for personal gain. I don’t just say ACAB to be edgy or insulting. I truly mean it with the police force in its current state. Switching names like calling Musk, Mush is a bit too juvenile for me and is just there to be insulting. Sometimes someone will strike gold and I’ll chuckle, but for the most part I think it draws from any actual point trying to be made. The more often something like ACAB is thrown out, the more people are going to see it, and it will effect some people, so it’s not just wasted comments.
