You forgot the person the protagonist is currently involved with who is a puppy-kicking narcissist. Source: my wife loves these movies too.

Mine is in a safe deposit box in Budapest. You can never be too cautious.

“Now I really get it!”

I’m just happy for the red circle, without which I could never have completely understood this meme.

I once put off a 5 minute task for so long, it was already at the 6 month replacement mark for when I should have originally done it! Efficient!

It took me a moment to get used to it, because I had the traditional upbringing with oatmeal = cinnamon, sugar, etc. But it’s not that different from mashed potatoes, polenta, or rice. I already had the pilaf recipe that was a favorite “go with anything” side dish, so I tried that first and stuck with it.

I second oatmeal but I go with savory. 50g of oats, 250ml of broth/liquid.

Variation 1 is a spice mix that mimics a favorite rice pilaf recipe (maybe 1/2 tsp of Old Bay seasoning, some salt and pepper, a sprinkle of turmeric and coriander). Then add in protein, veg, cheese, whatever. That’s my go-to most of the time.

Variation 2 is “pizza” style: a scoop of premade marinara, some broth to fill out the rest of the liquid, and a sprinkle of shredded mozz. Throw in some protein/veg that works (think pizza).

Variation 3 is “Mexican style,” which I mostly do if I have some leftover carnitas or taco meat: change the spices to chili powder and cumin, cheese, of course.

Quick oats cook up in 2-2.5 minutes in the microwave. Total prep time is maybe 10-15 minutes.

Didn’t they blame tight pants for the 6 bending?

I’m with you OP. All of this controversy the last couple of months not only sent me to decentralized social media, but finally made me pull the trigger on FOSS hosting projects. Currently working on selfhosted cloud storage for photos and documents. I already have my phone’s camera backing up to a RaspberryPi server in my living room, instead of to Google Photos.

The end goal is to decouple as completely as I can from Google - and the spider’s web of interconnected and interdependent online services - to something that I own (or at least have a measure of control over).

The downside is that it’s been a long time since I was in the server game. The learning curve is more like a vertical cliff face.

One thing Disney is known for is relentless legal pursuit of IP theft. Oh, and cartoon movies. Sometimes they do that too.

Tuskens finally take revenge for Anakin’s attack, Ben sees his opportunity and blames it on Stormtroopers, Luke wipes out the Empire based on a false flag.

The original idea for Youtube was “make your own tv shows” so it wasn’t really intended for highbrow entertainment, infotainment, etc. Then they started promoting videos that were longer format, so the “watch my sister go splat trying to jump in the pool” videos got replaced by how-tos, unboxing, and explainers. Then tiktok came along and Youtube is trying to turn itself into “watch my sister go splat in 60 seconds or less.”

It’s sad that with the concentration of developers and creatives at their disposal – not to mention the financial resources – they can’t innovate something beyond tiktok. Instead of tagging along after a trend and wind up looking like an old geezer dressing up like a 16 year old.

aww. I miss Allie. I hope she’s doing good.

Prob overshot the date by about 25 years.

“That’s right, buddy! Show that turd who’s boss!”

It’s on the to-do list. You don’t need to remind them every six months!

How do we even know that they’re not already running instances? Why would they start announcing it, especially after the response?
