rip in pepperonis

it's part of the main breast, but not the "tenderloin" (which I referred to as the "inner breast" cuz I didn't have a word for it). I guess if you're imagining the breasts upright on a cooked chicken, the top/outside is the main breast and the "tenderloin" is on the inside and they're separated by a thin film, right? well if you're pulling it apart by hand, the main breast kind of has two distinct parts. The main main part is the obvious rounded hump down the towards the pointed end, and the part I'm talking about is the bottom of that below that whole shaped area, like where it connects to the chicken's sides. basically everything gets trapped there so it's the juiciest few bites of white meat on the whole thing - if you eat it right as you pull it off the carcass and don't tell anyone while you're doing it. otherwise white meat in general dries out like immediately once it's unsealed. okokokok I know that was a horrible explanation, we're getting a rotisserie chicken and I'm gonna show you.

the tenderloins are the two little coin-sized pieces under each thigh I thought?

it's fine when once I do that, but i haaaaaaate cooking prep so i just don't buy thighs i don't thiiiiiiiiiiink so? that's the littler piece on the inside separated by that thin layer of whatever i think, but I don't know what the different breast parts are called. gonna have to buy a rotisserie chicken tomorrow just to point at the one part i mean

happy birthday MrD....EEEEEEEEEZNUTZ gottem

if we're talking whole birds, like rotisserie style, idk the technical terminology but the best part is the underside of the outer breast the moment you pull it off the bone and not a moment later I'd like thighs more but I don't like dealing with the fatty veiny globs in the center and I can't pretend they're not there

happy birthday @Hidden and @my-name-here

from Politico this morning:

yo @cixblah keep sending me those fancy pokestops from Spain

and then the pre-mobile babies squirm and the more they squirm the higher up the back it goes, once it even got into the belly button

if you never had to change a blowout then your grandkid is a god among babbies

happy birthday @Mr_Batou!

I have HD edition, but I've admittedly only played it a couple times. My first game in the series was Age of Mythology and I found it too hard to go backwards and lose a lot of QOL stuff. I play a shit ton of Age of Empires 4 though. Mostly poorly though.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @DBZ4ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

Rep. Jeff Jackson (D-N.C.) announced he would forgo re-election and instead run for state attorney general. The freshman lawmaker unveiled his decision after North Carolina’s state legislature signed off on new congressional district lines that would give the GOP an advantage in his current district. (Charlotte Observer) Separately, Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.) said he will not seek a 10th term in Congress. (Roll Call) Blake Masters, the GOP’s 2022 Senate nominee in Arizona, said he will run to replace retiring Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) in the state’s Eighth District, where he does not live. Masters’ announcement came after speculation that he could run for Senate again next year, a move that would have pitted him against Republican Kari Lake, who recently launched a bid.

screencap? not sure what you see edit: nevermind I see it I was looking in the wrong place

So apparently my new servicer won't let me edit my auto-payments because I'm in an IDR repayment program (even though my pre-COVID servicer let me), and it didn't automatically reallocate that whopping $55.38 minimum monthly payment I saved amongst the other six loans. If I want to pay anything more than the minimum, I have to manually assign a payment each month which is kind of weird? I just assumed it would have been absorbed into the other loan payments, especially given none of the minimums even match the interest accrual per month. Maybe they never anticipated someone would actually pay off an IDR loan to begin with so it's not programmed to readjust?
