I have reached a point of cooking where most all of my meals are made virtually the same way, but it would not make for a sexy video tutorial despite being easy to do and tasty.
Preheat oven to 400°
Pick whatever vegetable(s) you want, cut them up however you want, and put them in a large pyrex dish with avocado oil or olive oil. (Avocado oil preferred due to high heat tolerance)
Set timer for 60 minutes after putting the pan in the oven
Pull out whatever protein you want, and let it warm up on the counter for 30 minutes. Heat up a cast iron skillet while you fuck off to watch tv or something
At 30 minutes remaining on your timer, start cooking your protein in the now hot skillet. Fuck off to watch tv or something again
At 15 minutes, flip your protein over. Fuck off again
With 5 minutes or so remaining, put your cast iron in the oven to finish cooking your protein and fuck off again for 5-10 minutes.
Enjoy all of your food hot and ready at the same time
This is how I cook almost everything, with minor modifications. Making fish? Dont finish it in the oven. If making chicken? Marinate the chicken starting 30 mins before you start doing the veggies, so that you start cooking the chicken after 1 hour of marinating. Making tacos? Add a step to heat up some torts in the oven. Want thicker vegetables like acorn squash? Start that at 90 mins and then add the rest of the veggies at 60 minutes. Want onions? Start the rest of the vegetables and then add the onions at 30-45 mins remaining.
The overall process stays the same, and you are simultaneously a great cook and being lazy as fuck the whole time you are cooking
To give context, this is a local newspaper and therefore the audience is not general. People who live in the area this is in are already aware of a few things:
One, the vast majority of land in the valley is public land already. Huge amounts of national forest land, and additional public open space land as provided by the local governments and county governments. To make this more open space would have required too large of a financial commitment by the county to have been worthwhile. There is plenty of public land even literally adjacent to this property
Two, the land as a monastery was owned by the Catholic church. Effectively it was sold because of its value and location as the return could be used by the church to hold onto other land outside of the valley. Or use it for better purposes, at least as defined by them. There are already Catholic churches in every sizable community up and down the valley
Three, any time a large chunk of land goes up for sale in this valley that is worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, you can be sure a rich prick will buy it. Every small family home in the valley sells for $1M or more. Even the local trailer parks had to band together to get $40M mortgages to save their parks from being sold. “Rich prick buys up property” is just a Tuesday out here
So I understand as an outsider you think more could have been written about these topics, but it would have been highly redundant for the local audience of their paper. The same would be true for the several other local news entities that have covered the sale over the last 2 years
I know youre joking, but fun fact: the north pole (as a defined point on top of ice) is never the same from second to second because there is no landmass like Antarctica and the south pole.
So hypothetically even if they were stuck there they would have drifted away from the geographical north pole point within a few minutes.
In history this led to a lot of debate about people attempting to reach the north pole, because it was virtually impossible to truly verify that you made it to the actual geographic north pole before advances in technology. The magnetic north pole is not aligned with the geographic north pole, so compasses dont even point you true north once you get close enough to the pole
These guys were some of the first to surely reach it, because they went by the seafloor and then went up at the geographic north pole on the seafloor. Prior to that a lot of people, at least those who managed to survive, just said “close enough” even if they might have been miles away
It snows in a lot of places, however that doesnt make it conducive to skiing. I live in a ski town, and it has consistently been 10°c during the day and it has absolutely wrecked the ski season. We are getting almost no natural snow. It is winter 7-8 months of the year here, and that doesnt inherently mean we have enough natural snow to have quality skiing.
Artificial snow is an option, but to have a good ski area requires significant amounts of annual snowfall in order to open all the runs. You can only make so much artificial snow even in ideal conditions. If its too warm then artificial snow isnt even enough
Transfer that concept to Saudi Arabia, where they would be lucky for it to be 10°c at night for more than 2 months of the year. Its not remotely feasible to have a ski area. Even if it naturally snows a little bit. Neom will be based entirely on artificial snow, when its even possible to make it, and that will melt practically as fast as they can put it down.
My comment is not ignorant, although perhaps it was not eliding everything I just conveyed. 3 months ago when I wrote my comment it was 50°c at night, in the area they are building the resort, at the time I wrote the comment. I literally just checked the weather
The only new game ive played this year is Ball X Pit and it is phenomenal and runs flawlessly for a game that is less than 3 months from having been released. I hope they keep adding onto it
Other than that i don’t think ive played any games newer than 2020 or maybe even before
You see, me and the boys get a whole lot of pleasure out of educatin’ anyone who so much as looks at us funny. Big Earl here’s got a masters in sociology from Vanderbilt, and nothin’ makes Big Earl madder’n generational cycles of systemic violence
Ive driven in over half of the states in all manner of areas both urban and rural, and I genuinely dont see these kind of vehicles as feasible for the vast majority of American drivers.
Theyre great for specific use cases within very narrow ranges as work vehicles. But as a commuter vehicle? No way it will work.
I live in a rural town now, and it would be great for driving around the whole 5x10 block area of the city. It isnt making it out of town on a 55+mph highway, which is the only option to get to where most people live.
In any major urban area that doesnt have constant gridlock like LA, NYC, etc. It is limited to being stuck within major roads that also outclass it in speed limits. Albeit slower ones that would more accommodate an even slower vehicle more than a highway. Even still, if this thing cant even go 30, and people consistently go 40 in the 30, then you dont want to be in this thing going under 30 and get rear ended to death by some 6k pound suv.
Even if that never happened, you would spend a lot of time running the engine at its top speed which cant be great for longevity.
They should totally be legal for local low speed road use, but they would be mostly useless and/or a death trap as a commuter vehicle for the vast majority of people
Because most used EVs genuinely have significant range reductions as they age? Its not an invalid concern. A lot of used EVs available right now didnt have fantastic range to begin with. If it had 150 mile range brand new 5-7 years ago it wont be getting anywhere near that after tens of thousands of miles of usage, and will only get worse from there.
Nobody wants to take a loan on a car that will have sub 80 mile range before the loan is even paid
I meant privacy moreso as in coming and going as I please without interacting with anybody or being surrounded by other guests. But that is a valid separate concern I suppose
Tbh ive booked no less than 8 airbnbs in the last 3 years and have always had zero issues in any of them. No ridiculous rules or deposits or anything, and a lot more privacy than getting a hotel. More importantly, always far cheaper than getting a hotel that isn’t questionably shitty
In that same span of time, Ive booked like 4 hotel rooms. One was a four star property that was great but stupid expensive. One was a “3 star” property that was shoddy as fuck, had bedbugs, and refused to give me a refund despite bringing one of the bugs to the front desk and politely declining to be put in another room. The other two hotels were decent but cost more than what they were worth compared to a STR. Hence I roll on with airbnbs
Why anyone would pay more for less space and less privacy I fail to understand.
