Timmah!

...and what's great is it averages to something like $2/ very generous, fillingly-satisfying serving.

...pan that I bought was substantially larger than the previous; so much so that the poor lasgna made according to original proportions looked disquietingly piteous. (It nonetheless tasted great) Can't have that. Had to double up... plus some extra for the next rip. So: 2 lbs. sausage, ~2.5 lbs. hamburger, 2 cups short of a gallon of proprietary sauce, 2 lbs. of cream cheese instead of that nasty ricotta, seasoned to my sensibilities. Some cloves of garlic, basil, oregano, Italian seasoning, etc. Total weight was 13 lbs. & some ounces. Think I've found a new top-5 iteration. So damn good. Don't be hatin'. ***Edit*** Oh yeah, there was also a layer of swiss slices, too...and some Monterey Jack... also ~8 ounces of freshly-grated Parmesan. It demands your attention to enjoy it.

I feel you. It's tough watching one's parents grow old, weak, & pass away.

You're welcome.

Non-sequitur? I can find myriad more important allocations for my limited minutes on this mortal coil. I caught it 10 months ago; watching the politicians use the subject as yet another political tool is yet another tedious banality & I'm far from interested in convincing anyone to have a particular view on any of various facets of the whole dumpster fire. No...just have better use for my time...(it's in limited supply.) As Floyd would say: '...shorter of breath, & one day closer to death!'

To be clear, I'm not rushing to be injected with any new technology; my main complaint - if you can call it that - is the feverish sky-is-falling spin that is seemingly ubiquitous as the days progress. It's why I've avoided the news by & large & taken to listening to music or podcasts.

Heynow!

Surprised I've never before seen it.

They're hilarious. Entertaining to see the fun they're having as they become comfortable in front of the camera:

Is it worth it to get the Original if one's never before played the franchise?

NIce. I just happened to notice the halo as I was out making deliveries & decided to pull over & catch it with my simple phone camera. Happens here a handful of times a year. Were there pillars visible during this event you captured?

Funny thing is the number of people that think the 1st Amendment applies everywhere, all the time; when in obvious fact it only applies in relation to the government.

Dropped out of high school. Few years later, decided to matriculate & took the requisite tests; the GED being one. Now this, I did copy & paste, after adding my own 'flare'.

...when I get my house built; then it's cooking with gas! All good things in their own time.

Srsly? Was rather straight forward? Dunno what it means anyway, just copied + pasted it anyh00.

...because $20 is $20?

No freedom of speach, the man said. Although firstly, he might more greatly benefit from remedially availing himself of the freedom of spelling.

Copy & paste that? Original content, unless you count my interpretation of knowledge I acquired in the '90s while taking nursing curricula. Biology, A&P courses, Several psychology courses. Comical that you assume my intelligence or knowledge when you don't even know me; or that you feel motivated to question it. Would could hang out some time; then I could even chat with you about Adenosine Triphosphate while I write out the Krebs Cycle for you, if it'll make you feel better about the whole thing. Or we could chat about Themistocles & how he's underappreciated in helping save much of western civilization's culture. Maybe the Fertile Crescent & the establishment of uniform curricula across city-states, irrigation, the wheel, writing? The Code of Hammurabi?. Classical vs. Operant Conditioning & it's practical application in everyday life? I usually don't 'use big words', especially in-game, because 1. I'm there to have fun & blow-off steam; not to display my not inconsiderable wealth of knowledge, or edify people on relatively inconsequential facts & opinions just because I find them interesting. 2. 'Big words', out of context are unnecessary, & most people, expectedly, don't wanna hear it. How about different coffees of the world, different flavors & roasting profiles? Wet vs. dry process? Jung & Archetypes? Egypt & it's geography allowing it's culture to flourish as it did. The Roman Dynasty from establishment, Kingdom to republic, empire & collapse. The simple stirrup & it's influence on the fall of Rome. The similarities & differences between say, a nice Blue Mountain & a Kona? Semi precious stones? agate, nephrite jade, jadeite jade? Mafic rocks? Slip faults? Spooky Entaglement? Einstein watching a clock tower from the back of a cart & musing about relativity? The stages of elements as fuel during the evolution of different mass stars? A proclivity for goofing around doesn't preclude an appreciation of a broad sweep of topics or one's intelligence. How about a nice game of chess? English is my favorite book as White. Sicilian (Accelerated Dragon) & Nimzo-Indian as Black. Knight outposts are underappreciated. You only know people as well as they choose to allow, & certainly not through a venue such as an online fps. How about the roux, bechamel & the five mother sauces? How to make a great Ny-style pie? The contribution of different yeasts to a crust's flavor? Drawing a thread using the spoon test to determine the stage of your confection? Mychorrhizae & plant health & yield? Auxins & their response to photoperiod? The dual nature of light, slit experiments... Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle? Do you have a passion or hobby that draws you to learn something & becoming proficient?

Saw this a few days ago:

I know I'm awesome & everything; but if you need me in your life, you need to get out more!

Just exactly in what capacity?

Female 'friends', yes. Girlfriend? Working ~80 - 100 hrs/wk precludes that, for now. And I'm sure as hell not trying to get married again...unless she has an obscene amount of $$$!

I agree, when it comes to stovetop. However, doubt they're gonna run a custom gas line up to me just because I want one.

Too lazy to edit; fast forward at your discretion:
