omg, I want to judge but now I’m gonna have to try it.

I think it’s a combination of things, like I’m making ground beef so your mind goes taco but you’re getting a soupy bowl. Also, cream of mushroom soup is just one of those weird soups that doesn’t look or sound good on most people’s radar (see it mostly by itself or with a chicken recipe) but always kicks off a casserole or dish the right way. Then I bust out the rice and the confusion just sets in till they realize I’m already done lol.
my special treat that my partner hates for me to make but gobbles up bowls of: White Rice, Ground Beef, and Cream of Mushroom soup (campbells can). White rice like you like it, Ground the beef and salt generously after draining grease (helps the beef pop out more in the taste), then I usually do half of the milk called for with the soup.
Bed of RIce in a bowl, ground beef on top, then pour the cream of mushroom soup on it. Such a warm and crazy good taste but I get looks whenever I bring it up so I don’t make it that often unless it’s just me for a few days.
From one ketchup connoisseur to another, I started with and continue to eat crackers, cheese, and ketchup. Saltine crackers, like the crappy soup kind (don’t get anything fancy), Cheddar cheese (mild works but sharp is a better hit), and then whatever ketchup but I tend to do heinz or store brands since it tends to have more of a vinegary taste.
This whole thread is wild with Lemmy expectations lol. Reddit is a link aggregation site, same as here. Are you wanting more artists and authors posting on here for it to be considered “original”? All the links to articles or sites people are posting…aren’t really considered original. There are plenty of discussions going on that are original, but they tend to be upvoted less than posted link content so you have to usually search them out in the actual community.
ok but what is behind this picture? I see fur and old matted flesh? a paw with no nails or an old dogs snout?!?!
I suppose I used to but it was mostly around like a pool or something that would cool you off. If I’m working all day and sweating my ass off though I’ll turn down a beer for lunch for some water lol.
oh wow, I’m usually the complete opposite lol. When it gets hot out I’m not interested in a drink because I’m just gonna get hotter. Give me a splash in a warm coffee though for an afternoon pick-me-up when I’m tinkering into the winter nights sounds nice (especially if your hands are freezing).
I definitely wouldn’t suggest that people need to run out with friends and drink copious amounts of alcohol. A night at the bar can be fun, but keeping that as an activity that a friend group commits to repeatedly isn’t a healthy setting (for instance alcoholism effects 10% of the population).
That being said, there are a lot of constructive uses with alcoholic beverages such as cooking and really unique flavor profiles. Some of the mixtures that are 90%+ non-alcoholic have interesting tastes that you just can’t recreate without the alcohol changing subtle differences in what’s present. Definitely respect your choice not to drink though, just throwing this out there as a healthier alternative than binge drinking for those who do want to try.
I’ll just throw mine in to help confirm some of the general consensus coming from the states. Before 9/11, nothing really. A few brief mentions in history class etc, our education is horrible about human history but shoves American history down your throat. During the wars? Absolutely fucking horrific that any country is just allowed to attack an area like that. Every time I heard about some new operation I thought about how my family (if they were in that situation) would be huddle in the corner of a room just hoping to survive the night. Something that would make me want to lash out at anything because of the danger to my family, I never got why ANYONE thought this would “stop the terrorizing” by making more radicalized citizens.
After and currently, I’m completely blown away by the historical and cultural context of Iraq. In school there was never an emphasis on how important that country was to the civilization that we have now. Every documentary or book I read that touches on ancient history includes that area. I think if it was better taught in schools, the general consensus would’ve been more honorable towards finding a solution that worked for both countries.
Idk, our crops can’t survive extreme heat and drought but certainly there is life in a desert. The ol’ Carlin bit of the world will be just fine and all. But, you have to consider the fact that we have always migrated in the past during extreme climate changes and will have to do so in the future if it continues. There is plenty of places like Canada where the climate change will boost some sectors. Same with the fact Antarctica used to be tropical, we’ll just huddle around the proverbial fires of our community wherever they need to go to survive.
I gotta say, this article makes me feel sane again.
As others have stated, you want to contact your local co-op extension if you’re in the states.
https://extension.org/find-cooperative-extension-in-your-state/
The Cooperative Extension System is a non-formal educational program implemented in the United States designed to help people use research-based knowledge to improve their lives. The service is provided by the state’s designated land-grant universities. In most states, the educational offerings are in the areas of agriculture and food, home and family, environment, community economic development, and youth and 4-H. (wiki)
They’ll have free soil sample kits, articles and programs/classes for local agriculture, etc etc.
Anything else will be pirated, shitty ad filled ai knockoff apps, or finding a forum of like minded individuals you can ask. There are plenty of resources out there but a “one stop shop” I haven’t found. The problem stems probably from location, information is vast and mostly irrelevant if you’re not in the same growing zones. The local co-ops will have individuals, employees, and articles posted up, they’re really helpful when it comes to reaching out to them in my experience.
Wheel of Time book series.
Got way into it when I was younger, got them as soon as new ones came out but after re-reading the first like 10 books multiple times and the repetitive descriptions, the long journey just killed it for me before it got more wrapped up in the later books. Still love it when I go to try and reread it, just get flustered out around book 7. Would love to just be able to do the entire run now with that same enthusiasm I had before, like finding a great show with lots of seasons to binge.
I’m unsure with UK but I know the US it can cost a lot of money and basically has to be renewed every year meaning an annual cost (paid protection for the wealthy and all). Hopefully it’s different in other parts of the world, the police knowing though is an important thing just in case anything comes up in the future and you can show a timeline and history for evidence so definitely always have a discussion with the local authorities.
I feel like the first Ace Ventura tried to dance the line closer to an Action-Adventure/Detective-Comedy. The 2nd just leaned way into the comedy with the explosive popularity of Jim Carrey and it shows. Definitely don’t mind it, the 2nd is still my favorite but the first is also a solid movie.
That movie was definitely part of my formative years growing up
But seriously, why are all these movies reminding me of all the great songs. Makes me realize we just don’t have that many these days with great original soundtracks
Really think your thought process here is gonna get complicated as more people come in. Conflating instances/communities and admin/mods is just really pushing these “groupthink” mentalities, which is just there to distract and argue about (instead of the context of the discussion, much like nationality and race is used!). I just find it extremely weird when people start using “they” and “us” terminology on here, like it’s a server connection address protocol and you’re using it to categorize people into ideologies and personalities/etc. If you start getting a bunch of right-wing hate-mail from proton e-mail addresses, you don’t automatically assume everyone on proton is gonna be right-wing. Probably more weary when that address domain pops into your inbox, but that’s just a learned response from your unique experience (which can lessen with time if you allow it).
