wacky1980

hbd mthor! ever notice how there's more birthdays in the end of september? merry xmas to dad last year, right?

i was busy working during the pre-sale. by time i remembered, it was done-ski. good job bro.

i used zatarans because jiffy was out of stock but it was still pretty good so 🤘

usually kidney beans, with seasoning and whatnot added by manufacturer. can a guy use regular kidney beans and season them on his own? sure. but i said this was the easy recipe. i cut all the corners when i'm 2 hours from lunch and need to make a full batch. my cornbread was from a box too! 😲

someBODY once told me that texans don't add beans to their chili, like it was supposed to change how people in illinois are allowed to make it?

wife doesn't like beans in her chili, but at some point you have to draw the fucking line.

i peeked under the ignore cover because i thought maybe you were bringing something of value to the thread. bad call on my part.

it got down to 40F overnight on friday night, so chili season has started. made my first batch of the year this morning. here's my completely average and not difficult recipe. this is the easy way with canned tomato products, but you can replace with fresh tomatoes and/or canned if you're crafty like that. and i use seasoning packets because it's quick and easy, but you can mix up your own. ingredients are not necessarily exact measurements: 2lb ground beef 2lb ground pork a few red/green peppers (add poblanos for more flavor or a couple hot chilis for heat...but this is my mild, kid-friendly version) a couple vidalia / sweet yellow onions a few cloves garlic 2 big cans tomato sauce 1 big can diced tomatoes 1 small can tomato paste 2 cans ro-tel 1 big can chili beans 1-2 packets chili seasoning 1 can lager beer peanut butter cinnamon brown sugar red wine vinegar various spices to taste (i use salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder. and cayenne pepper if going hot) dice peppers, onions, garlic. add oil to pan, heat, and saute diced veggies until soft. set aside. add pork / beef to pan, season to taste , brown & drain. combine canned tomato products, meat, veggies, canned beans, chili seasoning in 3+ gallon stock pot. add 1/2 can beer, drink other half. bring to boil, reduce to simmer. add 1-2 tsp red wine vinegar, pinch of cinnamon, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and additional seasonings to taste. if too acidic/tomato heavy, add a couple tbsp peanut butter. simmer for 1+ hours, stirring frequently to avoid scorching. serve with sprinkle of shredded cheddar, diced green onions, sour cream, or whatever you prefer. add a side of cornbread because chili & cornbread is damn tasty. btw, i'm stuffed.

oopsie daisie lol

where'd you pick yours up from?

we've only bought digital games on the ps4 (outside of the ps4 system bundle and psvr packs that came with discs) so hopefully all those purchases transfer over to the ps5. i still picked up the disc version of the 5 though...you never know when it might come in handy for some old-school action. i think psvr is supposed to be compatible with the 5 at launch, but even if it's not, we can still use it on the 4. the only ps we don't have is the ps2, and that's because the wife gave hers to a friend when she got the 3. still have all my old ps1 games from the 90's too. i wonder if they'd still work in any of the consoles...

there's a few decent ps4 games that i never played, coming in for free on launch day with ps+, so i'll have plenty of grinding to do. wife is pretty pumped for resident evil 8, dmc5, and god of war. i don't really have anything particular that i'm looking forward to, but i've never picked up a console on launch day before so why not. also an excuse to finally upgrade to a 4k tv lol. and demon souls looks like fun so ...

i got in around 2am on bestbuy. mfmf

this guy. bestbuy.com fought me for two hours before pulling the plug while i was on the final order processing page. walmart sold out before could get one in the cart (did get a 2nd controller ordered though). target? nope. gamestop's entire site went down for a bit, and it came back up and sold out while i was fighting bestbuy. so that was a fun evening.

moscow mule i mean the AMERICAN MULE mothafockas!

we've largely ignored venus as a POI because the soviet vanera missions didn't end in failure...the probes were actually interrupted. vanera 13 transmitted surface data back to the soviets for 2 hours before failing, and the only images they released were of the rocky hillside surrounding the landing site. but the last image captured beings, two of which appeared to be armed with some form of gun or blaster. the following three months saw some of the most intense communication attempts with the beings from the yellow planet. in early june 1982, a communications breakthrough resulted in the ability of our scientists to decipher their message, which made their intentions clear: "we do not accept peace with your people. we do not accept trade with your people. if you attempt further invasions, we will bathe your planet in radiation and end your tenure as the dominant earth species." two days later, what scientists described as a "massive solar flare" split the earth's magnetosphere and caused widespread communications interruptions. while science described the source as our sun, the actual source was from the surface of the planet venus. it had directed an unprecedented photon assault at our planet. the message was received, and all further attempts to study venus were restricted to far-remote observation. communications have continued with the venusians, however they are mainly restricted to object tracking and occasional (always failed) attempts at diplomacy.

hey op, you had a rat or something on your leg just a minute ago. you gotta be more careful.

he's concentrating SO HARD RIGHT NOW

well if you're handing out cash, your dreamdick owes my wife some rent money too.

next time that happens, i hope you nut into your own eye.

what if the eyepatch goes on the bad eye tho?

it would be easier to stay asleep if i didn't keep having dreams of being attacked by wolves and getting random bj's from my wife. that's how i woke up every day this week at around 5am. it's like dream roulette, and i'm not sure if i recommend it or not just yet. maybe it's the edibles...?

i prefer "cheap date" but mhmm

1) no but that will probably change in a few weeks 2) n/a

i use some edibles from the dispensary. two gummies (5mg each) kicks my ass right over the edge.
