Convection toaster ovens are the best though. They let you "air fry" in a far better form factor, and you can also toast and bake in them.

I wouldn't go that far, but it's probably most. I've had a few middle managers that were good, less than 5 though.

Heroic launcher works well with gog and shows what games are supported.

For the consumer multiple platforms sucks. There's already competition for selling steam keys as well. Epic doesn't want to pay other platforms for anything fortnite, anything else they do is to justify why they shouldn't have to pay like every one else.

Inflation was tweaked to mean any increase in prices instead of a measure of the loss in value of a currency.

It has more to do with legislators using the tax code as a way to give away money for certain activities than tax prep lobbying. It's also a lot of fear mongering by those companies, and a general lack of reading comprehension. If you don't have to file quarterly, your taxes are likely very easy.

They had help at the pass too. It was 300 Spartans out of about 7k total forces. Even the last stand had more non Spartans than Spartans.

Economics just redefines terms as needed for the moment. Recession is really a label that can't really be applied until after you're in it anyway.

Inflation has also gotten watered down to be less meaningful once it started being a problem.

Even if they are doing it for shitty reasons, this case at least has merit. Unlike some of their other cases.

Get some hobbies that involve leaving the house regularly and preferably other people. The more alone you are the more times per week you should try to book things, but start with one day a week. Lots of sports leagues start around now, it might be to late to join a team, but you could be a sub. Maybe you have a local shop that has a board game night, or there's always Friday night magic. Find a local bar that does trivia and get some of your friends to make a team. See if there's a local maker space you could join. There could be some running or biking groups. Another option is finding a church, it has a lot more baggage, but it can provide a strong social group. There's lots of volunteer groups, probably at least one in your area that could be a good opportunity. Find somewhere to do a hobby you normally do at home, find a stitch and bitch or a book club.

It sounds like you have some level of depression. It may or may not require therapy or drugs. It could be too much social media. Either way real in person interaction is generally good for you, even introverts.

Fishing varies wildly depending on the species you are targeting. The best advice is probably to look on YouTube for fishing videos in your area.

For pan fish baiting a hook and waiting for a bite (possibly using a bobber) generally works well. It's easy to target them during the breeding season when they make "beds," at other times you may need to find an area with a drop off or weeds. You generally want your bait to be off the bottom by a reasonable amount.

For something like bass you tend to use crank/jerk baits that you need to keep moving to entice a hit. You can generally find them in similar areas to pan fish as they eat those species. The idea is generally to pass lures through areas that allow a bass to hide and strike anything that swims by.

At certain times of the year you can target spawning fish in various rivers. Generally at these times what you use isn't too important, it's more about being there when the fish are passing through.

There's also regulations that actually hurt the things they are intended to protect. It's generally called perverse incentives. The example here is related to endangered species. It's in the interest of those that find an endangered species on their property to "shovel and shut up" as the presence only creates problems for the owner.

Pre YouTube, but still a great classic.

 

Something needs to be done after the garbage first round of playoffs.

  • No automatic bye for conference champions seems good.

This article stops short of saying the Big12 and ACC should only get one team in, but I'd support that until proven they aren't week conferences.

Strength of schedule needs to be a bigger factor, an 11-1 Indiana never deserved a spot. My ideal default would be 6 SEC, 3 Big10, and the other automatic qualifiers.

 

Now is a great time for if I were there hypotheticals, so here's mine.

Once it was decided to run Harris and push Biden out, they should have gone all the way and used the 25th amendment to let Harris become president. This would have effectively separated her from Biden while still allowing her to take credit for the good stuff. She could have instructed the DOJ to start investigating price gouging now, and campaigned on needing to win to keep it up.

The 100ish days wouldn't have been enough for wholesale replacement, but it could have created a concrete message of this is where I want to go. A campaign focused on already delivering is a positive message people could get behind as well.

 

With Tyrek Hill being detained less than 4 months after the arrest of Scottie Scheffler, have the police actually angered enough people with money and power that there could be actual consequences?

 

Not a huge surprise.

Harbaugh is looking at a 4 game suspension for lying to NCAA investigation. Ultimately meaningless because the first 4 games aren't against anyone competitive. This could be an excuse to not extend his contract that expires after this season.

Preseason predictions. (self.detroitlions)
submitted 2 years ago by ryathal to c/detroitlions
 

What is everyone's predictions for the coming season? The hype is as an all time high for the Lions, is anyone buying it?

Vegas has the Lions at 9.5 wins, I think it's totally possible that they can hit the over. I'm buying the hype and think that this year it's the Lions division to lose. Superbowl is probably not happening, but 1-2 playoff wins could happen.
