I'm my home, we have a variety of spatulas. Rubber spatula - both "no the big one" and "no the little one"; metal spatulas include: "my favorite"/"the sharp one", "the big shitty one", and "the curvy one"; and irregulars such as "the big offset", "that stupid orange one", and "the icing spatt".

It seems more honest than touting exceptions as some sort of compromise. Have you ever thought of what a rape exception (or other exceptions) looks like in practice? They just don't happen. How many abortion providers are willing to test the law? How many pregnant people are able to get a police report necessary to be exempted? How many abortion providers are even practicing in states with rape exceptions to their otherwise strict abortion laws?

Arguing about what exceptions should or should not be on the books is a distraction. It's only service is to placate the general public into accepting barbaric abortion bans.

Rosana by Wax, very catchy song. "What's my mother fucking name!?"

Spicy potato soft taco. Small item overshadowed by others, but a solid go to when you want something small. Potatoes, spicy ranch and lettuce in a soft tortilla. Nothing fancy, just tasty.

I got one last week... Sorry you can't get it anymore.

I was mostly looking for details to indicate the person was real. Got 8/10. Someone had an odd tooth, someone else's eyebrow hair looked like they had just woken up. There was one picture I immediately knew was AI, because it just seemed off. Another had some strange wrinkle texture on the neck that just seemed unnatural. One of the 2 I got wrong because I thought the eye wrinkles were too much for the rest of the face. Turned out to be a real person.

Thanks for the interesting read!

In your Western scenarios, I don't think it would be anywhere near a clean getaway most of the time. Horses do tend to behave differently for different riders. A very well trained horse may handle the new rider better, but most horses tend to test new riders. The first couple rides on a new to you horse is both a learning experience and a power struggle. You don't know exactly how that horse was trained, and the horse usually wants to see what it can get away with. You might find out the owner doesn't use some standard cues, and the horse might just take advantage of it get irritated with the confusion.

They know who their people are. In your scenarios, it's likely the horse only has one rider. Trying to hop on without it's person there is going to confuse it. If you are good with horses and it's trained in a conventional way, you'll have a better chance at gaining control quickly. I still wouldn't imagine galloping off immediately... That's going to take time.

I really don't know with the shooting dead question. If owner does a lot of yelling before/after the shooting, I don't see it ending well. No arguing before hand, one clean shot to the head - might be more dependant on if the horse is gun trained. I know horses that couldn't care less about fireworks and gunfire but will throw you over a plastic shopping bag blowing across the field or because she heard a noise coming from "that scary tree".

I don't know a good way to judge a horses temperament at a glance. You can get an idea of what kind of mood they're currently in fairly quickly though. You can look at their muscle build and get an idea of how much they're worked and if your good an idea of what kind of work. Different muscles will be toned differently depending on what they're used for.

Hope that helps!

Mama Ridgeway would be proud of that clean ween!

Yep, it's great! You can call or text with all your turkey questions. I texted and so the lady helping me even asked for pictures of the "growth"! She sent the issue up the line until it was identified. This was just last year, and I'm still mad about throwing out a perfectly good turkey before trying the helpline.

I've started with a frozen bird in the morning, and had a nicely baked turkey at a reasonable time this way. Put it in a bath until it's not entirely a brick, replacing some of the water frequently. Balance it in the sink so you can run the faucet down the neck. Run water until spine is thawed enough to spatchcock. Doesn't matter if most the meat is still frozen, it'll cook fine.

Went to brine my turkey the day before and found a weird "growth". It was really unappetizing and concerning, so I overreacted and threw out the bird. Could only find frozens, so the new bird only had overnight in the fridge. After buying a new turkey I thought to get on the Butterball turkey help line. They were fantastic and assured me the growth was actually a processing burn and totally safe.

Why is it when talking about Israeli military or political action it's necessary to add the word government? With any other country you can say, as an example, "Russia shouldn't be invading Ukraine", but with Israel it seems necessary to add something like "I'm talking about the government, not the people."

On the other side of things, it seems Hamas is interchangable with Palestine, which is interchangable with the Palestinian people, and none of these get folks pointing out the distinction.

We call one of my cats Soup. It's short for Soup Can

The adjustable base is a game changer! Helps with my heart burn and my husband's snoring. Also, I'm sick rn, so have been watching a lot of tv in bed. Being able to adjust to more of a sitting position is awesome.

I think pouring the dip over would make it a salad.

I don't know about cheese fries being a salad. I think a salad needs at least 2 ingredients not including dressing/garnish. So you'd need to do cheese fries with like fried peppers too make it a warm potato salad.

I would say the important distinction is in presentation. Was it a bowl of onion and cucumber mixed together with ranch? If so salad. Was it a plate with a pile of cucumber and a pile of onion, with ranch for dipping? If so crudites.

I'm on kbin exclusively now, with the exception of a couple weeks ago. I was looking for exceptional rock shops near where I was visiting. Wanted suggestions/reviews from the more geological geared, and specifically not metaphysical/crystal shops. Reddit was the best resource for my purpose.

That said, I believe the fediverse can become a similar resource. For the time being, there just isn't a large enough, or old enough library of information to draw from. Given time this should change, but for now Reddit still fills certain types of needs that other areas of the internet cannot.

I've never played Cyberpunk, but watched my husband play for a lot of hours. I played Xdefiant's beta for a day in June. I'm puzzled by why it didn't pass. Beta was not buggy, had maybe one minor issue with it. My guess is security violation.

I personally would put Era 2 on the back burner for now. It includes much more Cosmere info than Era 1, and you'll miss out/not understand a lot of it, if you don't read some others first. My suggestion would be doing Warbreaker or Elantris next. They are both standalone books, it doesn't matter the order you read them in, but Elantris was Sanderson's first published book.

From there, I'd do the first 2 Stormlight books followed by Arcanum Unbounded. Arcanum is a collection of short stories, all Cosmere. It includes Edgedancer (Stormlight 2.5) and Mistborn: Secret History. The events in Secret History happen before Era 2, so would be good to read that right before getting into Era 2.

After Arcanum, you can choose to continue with Stormlight, or go back to Mistborn. It's a fairly good pausing point for the Stormlight series. There's also the White Sands graphic novels, and 3 standalone books released this year (Secret Projects), that you could sprinkle in between some of the thicker novels.

Happy reading!
