Real talk, though, I bought this thing thinking it was one of those thin ones you use to flip eggs and shit, but it is REALLY thick:

And I was like "WTF does anyone need this for? Burgers?? I'll never use this shit".
But then I tried stirring things in my cast iron frying pan with it.
Spatulas bend and tend to slingshot food out of the pan, but this monster? Damn near as indestructible as the pan itself, AND it keeps the pan in good working order because cast iron needs to be scraped smooth regularly-- especially if you want to keep it seasoned instead of re-seasoning it after every use.
It is NOT a substitute for a real spatula, it cares not about egg yolks and lightly fried fish fillets, but damn if it wasn't one of my better $5 kitchen purchases.
Take your phone with a decent battery, find the pattern area (there's almost always a table and chairs there), sit yourself down, download RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic, and lose hours.
Or browse Reddit.
My wife has 14 sewing machines. I know how to survive. Also, sometimes you can get decent velcro from them if it's on sale.
The My Favorite Murder podcast is my jam right now. It's like sitting on a couch, drinking wine with your BFFs (or aunties if you're part of Gen Z) while they gossip about how fucked up the 1970s were because it seems like every other mass murder happened then.

It's not the Art of Warmaidens, but I highly recommend Rejected Princesses. Lots of great stuff, bought an early copy for when my daughter is old enough to appreciate it.
That's right!
/r/TrollXFunny is bringing episodes of The Golden Girls to cytu.be. Synched and livestreamed, with a text chat sidebar.
From noon PST, for 8 or 9 hours give or take.
So I searched for more and there is coral that sways around! They are called "soft coral". Soft leather coral is one of them: https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-8821069-tentacles-soft-leather-coral-sway-back-forth
The entire series is so good that I, a self-confessed book hoarder, consider them one of the few books I will give away just to spread the joy of it.
Speaking as the owner of a Really Good Umbrella, I'll chase someone's ass down for taking it just as fast as I would for taking my favorite pen.
On a serious note, if you're looking for a good umbrella, I can't recommend this one enough. It's relatively cheap, well made, goes through hell being carried in my backpack daily, has never folded up on me in a storm, and keeps me (mostly) dry.
If you're drinking coffee for the caffeine and don't care about the taste experience, just buy caffeine pills already. It's a waste of time, money, and calories to do otherwise. And caffeine fills are more efficient and a larger amount of caffeine anyway.
Me and my friends, family, and coworkers have been using these for way over a decade. This is the current brand we use, but it doesn't matter.
I mean, coffee makes you poop, red bull is expensive. 100mg pill at 6am and boom, wakey-wakey motherfuckers.
I am sad there apparently isn't a full novelization. Unless there are little snippets in this one: https://www.amazon.ca/Austin-Powers-Mike-Myers/dp/0425171523
this set is what I bought, so they can fold up and not stab anyone accidentally lol
If you mean it needs to go across like from side-to-side, you can get a low profile cable raceway like this one and cut it to fit in your doorway. If you mean that it needs to go from the front of the door to the back, then you could trim off a little bitty corner of the door and secure the cord along the bottom of the baseboard and around the door jamb.
The initial setup is a bit of a hassle, but it more than makes up for it in one-click dice rolling with all of the bonuses automatically being applied and being able to just grab battlemaps and tokens from the internet so you don't have to sink a fortune in miniature painting and buying large-scale maps is a definite bonus.
I found other trolls to play with that I'd gotten to know from /r/TrollXMovieNight.
It looked like it was curtain tiebacks because it WAS curtain tie-backs!
I can't imagine how often the actress tripped on the skirt and got caught on the scenery.
Long skirts tend to drag everything with them at the best of times, but her dress legitimately looked like a disc golf trap. https://www.amazon.com/Dynamic-Recruit-Portable-Assembly-Lightweight/dp/B08CJ62GWN?th=1
On Halloween I'll be streaming classic Addams Family episodes on the TrollXMovieNight Cytu.be channel starting around 1pm PST (4pm EST).
There will be a chatroom. The old kind of chat room. Tippy-tappy on keyboard nobody has to know I'm wearing a snuggie chatroom.
How long? There's a lot of episodes. Maybe 8 hours or so?
Only the classic series, dumb laughtrack and everything.

To warm anything up, it's just the excitement of atoms. Making them vibrate. That's all it is.
Electricity is used to cause the heating element in your kettle to cause the vibration of atoms by convection.
The electromagnetic spectrum, below what our eyes interpret as the color red, but above radio waves, there are microwaves. And bombarding something with the micro-wave part of the spectrum is an efficient way to causing atoms to move. I mean, you probably know all this. A lot of Americans don't bother to learn it. Our educational system sucks.
But we do like our "gee whiz isn't that a scientific marvel" gadgets.
Unlike you and your electric kettles, we're not really bothered if tea reaches the "right" temperature. Boiling or close to it is good enough. And microwave ovens can get water to boil very easily. A sufficiently powerful microwave oven can make water so hot it becomes a real danger-- if it's left in long enough.
England doesn't have the last word in proper tea temperatures, though. Chinese tea shops are scandalized by English kettles because each variety of tea requires a special way of heating and steeping the leaves to be brewed "correctly", and "boiling" isn't nearly sufficient for the varieties out there.
So it's all relative.
I do think that your kettles are a more precise method, but then again I know that espresso machines are more precise than my morning coffee. I just can't be bothered to give a shit when it's instant coffee or Red Rose tea. (Even I don't drink Lipton tea-- nasty stuff.)
But when I buy a premium Lapsang Souchong tea, you bet I'm doing it the way the wise little man at the tea shop taught me.
I'm in love! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
For real though, I was super sad to see this is DIY because I want one! But then I googled it and it's not DIY; YOU CAN BUY IT! So excite!
I found it on Amazon, but many other places, like Target, also have it listed on their websites.
I've had this auto one for three years and it works great. Change the plastic bin onve every 5 days or so and gtg. Like $1.20 a bin, too.
