I love those too! It's very difficult for me to source them however... I'm lucky to live near a bunch of supermercados that have mayocoba but they don't have the more 'exotic' beans beyond that

All beans are tasty, indeed!

I noticed Edamame was missing from your list, and are delicious just slightly steamed and sprinkled with a little salt.

Also, when it comes to southwestern eatin', I always prefer a mayocoba to a pinto anyday! It's a tiny bit larger and as creamy as can be. Use exactly the same way you would a pinto or a black bean!

Gotcha, moving to Western New York to live parallel to the lake now. Thanks!

Where do you live so I can move there.

Kicking my way through Ultima I, a partner gave me two more weeks to beat it and I think I can probably do it in one... day... if I get my mind into it.

Also trying to beat Guardian Tales in the same two weeks since it's been on my phone so long. I want to get it off my phone so I have more room for other things, but I feel like I'm far enough into it I shouldn't just toss it away without completing it.

The classics are good, Crazy 8's, Go Fish (which is better reversed, where you can see other people's hands but not your own), Egyptian Ratscrew, President/Scum, and so on, but I genuinely enjoy Mao the most.

Between the simple quality of the base rules and the fascinating depth, deduction, and memory puzzle as the game progresses... It's wonderful. Sadly, too many people choose to play the game as an inside joke or gatekeeping game, whereas the game is best played with a more teaching role at heart. Still penalize for failure to follow rules, but enunciate why and be deliberate about it, so they have a chance to learn from their mistakes, or others'!

Perhaps there was some confusion or miscommunication here. I'm not asking to convert him to my religion, make him "more liberal", get him to be a mini-me, make my work life "easier" by making him more "standable" or anything like that. I am personally able to work just fine with the kid as it is, and have no professional issues with them.

I do not feel I have any sort of agenda I'm pushing, I just see them exhibiting misogynistic behaviors and drifting towards a subgroup that's known for mass shootings, and I think I can in any way help prevent him from going that route.

Some other community members have picked out good introductory episodes that don't have too many in-jokes, especially because with all podcasts they get better as they go on and so the earlier episodes while not bad are not as good as the current stuff. However, my suggestion would still be to start at the beginning and work from there. It's not the sort of podcast you have to stay up to date on or else you'll miss out, so just take your time with it, let it fill in the lulls between your other podcasts' releases, and you'll catch up in no time!

Ooh! That looks doable!

Haha, am I still a comment leaver if I've only ever lurked the show? It's been fine so far, looking forward to the advances in sleep spaghetti...

Is there a service that is only email? Most of the offerings in those packages are either too much bloat of applications that are unnecessary, and/or are too expensive for what they actually would provide that we would use.

I'd much rather keep using the tools that we're used to and have set up than move to a different ecosystem, especially one that tracks a lot of the data we use with it

I mostly listen to the Rooster Teeth podcasts, so here goes:

FaceJam is a podcast that nominally is about trying every new (limited time) fast food creation to see if you should try it too, but it's more a comedy podcast where they talk about their encounters with staff/public at the restaurant, tell jokes about fast food, etc. 10/10 would recommend.

RTP (their official rooster teeth podcast) is something like 900 episodes long, but all of that can be discounted if you want for their more recent (i.e. like four episodes ago) change of hosts and format to three incredibly funny comedians and writers who just wanna tell you their jokes, and they nail it. 9/10

Lastly, if you just want something bonkers the ~~fuck~~face podcast is a podcast with three hosts best described as a lot of Lore About Nothing. It goes in wild tangents and has some of the stupidest things I've ever heard in it, but it's quite funny... Albeit hard to look up or talk about with others.

 

I'm aware most ISPs do not allow for port 25 to be open for email use outside of business licenses, but at what level is that controlled? Can I get around that by owning my own router? Owning my own modem or ONT? Or is this just a thing they mystically control further up the pipeline that a relative layman such as myself can't get around?

 

Personal background: I strongly feel just about everyone grows up and has something shitty about them. I know growing up I definitely thought and said some less-than-ideal jokes about women, minorities, etc. And while some of that was the proverbial 'the times', and some was growing up in a sheltered hyper Christian southern American conservative situation, I regret my actions and am happy I grew past that. And I do think people, especially younger, can grow past their shittiness, especially with the help of others, which was true for me too... When I got my first W2 job a superior I looked up to helped mold me into a better person by calling me out on things and modeling a better behavior.

Current situation: I'm now the supervisor position, have been for a decade (retail is a trap) and I've taken that to heart, calling out jokes that aren't funny, etc. But recently we hired a new kid who acts really incel-ish, and who apparently has attached himself to me instantly. I've had moderate success so far just telling him his 'lol women dumb' jokes aren't funny, and modeling how working with women is... normal? Anyways, I don't wanna screw this up so do y'all have any suggestions for me to help keep him from going down an unfortunate path? I know at the end of the day I'm not responsible for others' routes in life, but I feel we should all do our parts.

 

Posted this awhile back on other platforms but figured I'd help get this community going!

We really, really, really like Jotunn...
