Not at all related to @dvoraen’s work, but here’s my latest. I have a hard time resisting t-shirts and this one was $3.80 on Temu, and is awesome. [image: 1757812625724-43d42959-876a-4a89-b1e6-bb5e9931a541-image.png]

@tsar said in Anime recs?: Multiple recs for Mob Psycho, so I’ll put that on my list too! After Apothecary Diaries and I guess my kid isn’t watching Demon Slayer with me and will instead re-watch Solo Leveling multiple times, lol. Solo Leveling? Do we have someone else who is deviant enough to enjoy Isekai? Well, if you are, I have some recommendations that I will work on and post later. As for Apothecary Diaries one of the questionable things in the show and I forgot to include it in the “cons” is that Jinshi (the eunuch) invades Maomao’s personal space and teases her in ways that require consent without getting said consent. While it is thematic for the setting for him to not need consent from a servant, I take slight issue with the fact that he wears her down and it leads to romance (the good ol’ just keep flirting and teasing her until she relents and falls in love with you trope) rather than him dying by poisoning from Maomao. I try to interpret it as Maomao subconsciously liking him but consciously not realizing it, as it is established that she has trouble understanding her own emotions, so his actions are somewhat welcome. @ProperPenguin said in Anime recs?: I tried to get into Frieren a few times but somehow it just didn’t click for me. My take on Frieren is ‘cute, but so predictable I’m getting bored’ I do not fault people for liking it! I don’t necessarily DISLIKE it, but I can also only watch a couple episodes at a time. (Tho most of the time if I feel like watching Frieren I end up watching Delicious in Dungeon instead.) Yeah, it’s a cozy anime. It’s slice of life, a touch of romance, and a little bit of shonen action. And the shonen action is of the OP MC Isekai power fantasy variety, because Frieren was a member of the party that slayed the demon king, so of course she is going to crush almost anything like a steamroller does an ant. But it’s fun to watch the crushination.

Sad to say there’s another one of these currently running for another member of the MU* community. If you’ve been on Ares games over the last few years, there’s a chance you know Cameron. And hey, if you won’t do it for him, do it for the cats. GoFundMe: Help keep Cameron, his kids, and his cats housed!

I didn’t even realize Crunchyroll did an Anime Awards, but it also dawns on me that any Award ‘show’ presented by an anime company is probably going to be heavily biased. Is there an Awards show for Anime independent of the companies that produce it somewhere else? Solo Leveling definitely doesn’t stack up to a lot of those other shows ‘nominated’, but I won’t deny that I enjoyed watching it. Personally, out of those options, I enjoyed Dan Da Dan and Kaiju No. 8 the most. Can’t comment on Apothecary Diaries because it’s honestly not my thing, and I’m not done with Frieren yet, so I’m still deciding on that one.

honestly, the only reason I didn’t love it is because there was enough material there for at least one more season, if not two, without any real concern about filler. every “ONE YEAR LATER” smash cut made me wince and groan.

@Buttercup said in Any website builders?: @Pavel Unfortunately there is no rental plugin that I have seen. With rentals you have to do a calendar function. Where I can rent at two pm and for one day and it locks the vehicle out until two the next day from availability. That rate is a daily rate. Then incorporate weekly rates, monthly rates etc. and adjust the cost and calendar tied to it accordingly with reservations. Take a look at this. I use SquareSpace professionally to build sites for customers to maintain, and it’s pretty user friendly. I’m unfamiliar with the Booqable plugin, but I think it’s worth a look if you want something you can manage easily. Most likely what you’ll want is to find a booking service that works well for physical rentals that has an embeddable component. Those can be pretty easily plugged into a site regardless of where you end up building it. In fact, just building a site through something like this may do what you need.

@crawfish I feel like we need a list for everything and explanations. Release the truth about cats.

Resurrecting to share something I’ve been making pretty frequently because it’s really tasty and is a quick way to get my protein even on the fly (i double batch it) or to toss into a salad or whatever if i’m having to make a lunch for work last minute). I love all things smoky/burnt-ish, plus these things are nice and chewy too (also a lovely texture for me). I thought i’d share! the partner and kids tend to steal these too when they’re right out of the oven. Plus it’s easy and takes minutes to prep and just 20 minutes to bake. Tofu Crumbles About 400g Tofu (firm or extra firm, pressed so excess water is removed, I don’t bother pressing if it’s fresh/not packaged in water) 2 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp turmeric 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1 tbsp nutritional yeast 1 tsp sea salt 2 tsp liquid smoke 1 Tbsp oil of choice (i prefer avocado or sunflower for this one), or oil spray of choice. Preheat oven to 400F Combine all dry spices in small bowl and mix well. Crumble the tofu into a large mixing bowl, crumb sizes should be chunky breadcrumb (stuffing?) sized but i like to have some bigger chunks in there too and the teeny ones get all nice and crunchy so it’s fine. Put the spice mix in with the tofu and toss until everything is coated evenly. then pour in liquid smoke and toss again. Spray a baking tray well with the oil spray or spread the oil in the pan. Put pan in the oven at temp for a couple of minutes until it starts to smoke a bit (around 5 minutes but if you’re using spray might wanna watch this closely). Pull out tray and dump the crumbles on it, spread them evenly and return to oven for 20 minutes, stir about halfway through. Once they’re done if you let them cool for about 5-10 minutes they get even crispier! I think they’re great over the next few days (store in fridge) but they don’t really last at my house more than one extra day.

In almost ten years at my company, I have only ever gotten one bad review – one! out of almost twenty! – from a person who was my manager for all of two months. It was from someone who not only didn’t understand what my job was, but who regularly gave conflicting instructions in the same day, would ignore when I pointed this out to her, and then wondered why I couldn’t do both of these things that were in direct opposition to one another. This manager then proceeded to be mean to me for the next two years straight, all the way up until I moved to a different subdivision, and still tries to pull my current boss into almost everything I work on that she’s involved in. Today she was forced to acknowledge that my work is fast, thoughtful, and high quality despite being related to a request that is urgent, complex, and so confusing to convey to our audience that we need spreadsheets of who gets what messaging, when, and from whom. And she had to say the nice thing in front of an entire committee. Including my boss. [image: will-smith-victory.gif]
