I messaged them, I'll make sure I give their response here. I just think it's rediculous to buy a product (2 pack) and both be shit that don't seal. It made me question whether they actually meant it to be or they declared it shelf stable

I bought a 4 pack about a year ago I think. It's one thing I consider an essential so I keep them under the sink usually

I would say McDonald's, Burger King, and every other restaurant that advertises 100% real beef, while still being bad quality is better than taco bells meat. The Bell doesnt claim it because it isnt even all beef. So while the 100% beef claim doesn't mean much for quality, Taco Bell is a sin for the soul which is why it goes down so well drunk. (Sadly delicious) But I think quality wise it is something like Taco Bell < Arby's < Burger King< McDonald's< Wendys < Culvers/Five guys/ and shit like in and out because their stuff isn't frozen in the last group. I'm sure I missed many, they are just off the top of the dome memories

Yeah when I opened the box I had to pull it to the top. Then realized "don't press to hard" because it will start to prefer the side gaps if you don't go easy.

 

Not sure if I'm supposed to say something to the store, Crest or is this just how shitty toothpaste now comes?

Taco bell gets grade D ground meat in a bag that was precooked and they set it in hot/warm water or w.e to get it ready for use.

Chipotle suis vide's their steak and ships it in those bags, then they break the seal and sear it on a flatop to get it ready.

I'm hoping we consider the second more than a step above the first, but idk

Well from late 2001 food network viewership spiked like mad. Now things like YouTube have high viewership for all kinds of food things. I don't know what kids watch now, but if my spouses tik tok has food all over it I imagine they can't fully avoid it.

Shit everyone was racing about specialty ramen for a while it seemed.. there has to be people recognizing ingredients somewhere

From the right perspective they do two things, relatively.

Still not all that sure but it has got way to much fuckin' mayo!

I'm tired and my brain is being dumb right now, but when you said that my first thought was of course American. 97% accuracy grouping bullets is a lot different than 97% sure a gun was fired.

One says Johnny got shot in the kidney, the other says a truck may have misfired down the road.

Apparently it's slowly dying.

"Bibles are disappearing from hotel-room drawers around the country, according to a survey from STR, a hospitality analytics company. As AP reported in 2018, the survey found only 79 percent of U.S. hotels had Bibles in their rooms in 2016, compared to 95 percent in 2006."

2 pitbulls broke in and killed one of my chickens the night before last. Little dude was only born in November.

Also got bit by a different pit bull mix that lives next door January 20thish, hasn't fully healed yet. (That one was partially fault) Neighbor has an older dog about 10 or 11 and the smaller pit mix got in a fight with her, I made the mistake of pulling the smaller one off because there was to much blood coming from her throat, thankfully both dogs are fine now, still live in the same penned area, but this past 12 months or so haven't done well for my pitbull confidence. Never disliked them, but for now I'm keeping my distance lol

 

Aloha, I'm being dumb. I tried to move away from using PIA- private Internet access do to some suggestions. I bit the bullet and finally switched VPNs after ~5 years or so.

I know others may say it's dumb but I was going to try Proton VPN. On my phone, no issues. If I run the installers in Mint though, I can't seem to get it to install. Tried the Debian install, tried the Ubuntu install, but no luck. Specifically the command sudo apt install proton-vpn-gnome-desktop Will always return an unable to locate package, even while running from the same directory I run the wget commands and such from.

Is there something that you have seen that works well with this? I need to set that machine back up for a split tunnel for a couple specific apps and not others.

Bit by a dog (lemmy.world)
 

So I was a fool, neighbors dogs got into a fight, not abnormal, but never had it been more than a growl and a nip and the dogs know oops they aren't playing, stop. Well the larger dog has been sick, (princess). So when playing the smaller dog apparently (new to the family ~6 months, maybe 3 years old) saw it as an opportunity apparently. When playing (German shepherd next door to them on the other side, so they run and play with a 4' fence between them. The shepherd can jump the fence if he wants, but doesn't except few occasions whole bored. (He came to visit me on Oct. 31 while I sat outside, put him back, jumped over and came back to hang out). I have no issues with the shepherd as he gets aroundy chickens, and does not hurt them. Today my neighbor heard his dogs fighting and tried to break them up. He tried putting a rope around princesses neck to pull them apart, but the smaller dog had her by the underside of the throat and would not let go. I heard it from next door and ran over. There had never been blood spilt before In their playing, but there was blood clearly now from biting around the throat and I couldn't tell who. I assume princess. He was throwing a 5 gallon bucket of water (near 30F 0C here) at the dogs to see if they would sperate. I hopped the fence and took the smaller dog who had the latched jaw by the scruff and pulled her off. Then got him to take princess to another small gated area. The smaller dog was fine with me, but when she realized playtime was over (tail wagging, madman of a young lady) she grabbed my forearm, I told her no, and pushed her off and she immediately stopped. (Yes she's dangerous and I was dumb). But her entire canine tooth went through my forearm and I had a hole near a centimeter round.). My fiance doesn't do well with wounds. She immediately started telling me I need to go to the emergency room, but honestly I'm poor, and I wasn't bleeding much at all. (I'm stubborn yes, but she missed anything important, I mean not bleeding like... 1/60 of a ketchup packet and no bandages.). Pure luck. So I cleaned it with cold water doused it on hydrogen peroxide and made sure it was covered. But now my fiance keeps acting like she's the victim, and it's an act of me against her. It's been near 10 hours, I have full feeling in the hand, no puss or heat, nothing other than mild swelling. I traced it with a pen just to make sure the bruise doesn't expand and I don't know. But Im just tired of getting told I don't care about her, because I won't spend money we don't have to make sure I'm okay when I got bit.

Edit: also I should say he's a great neighbor, he will come feed the chickens and give them attention for fun, if he has nothing to do , he will mow our lawn and help out with ever being asked. So ~300 worth of medical assistance, though he offered, I'd never allow him to pay. I've never asked him for anything, but he has been helpful for more than 4 years I've lived here. If anything I would swear I owe him money for his hospitality

I was trying to throw together some quick items to have something for dinner later. Some penne was left, some rotini was left, had some hot sausage I meant to use for a pizza the other day, but the spouse didn't want sausage that day, whatever, make a quick dish.

Cook the bottom of the box penne and rotini, throw the sausage in a pan, season/brown in, throw it into the pot of drained pasta.

Take the sausage juice/fat and add flour to it to start a roux. Everything seems good, poor in the last of the milk.. wait, was that thick. Crap it smells off, check the jug, best by January 7th. Son of a b, can't get that sausage fat back to start over, and the milk is gone. Looking for liquids because I don't have any broth or such in the pantry. Ugh

 

Old cameras but they have been sitting.

What can I use to record and ensure the data is saved locally. Nothing serious, just chickens being accused of hurting plants when they are monitored. I just want to catch whatever it is (deer? Etc?) eating it so I can have evidence it isn't them

I made a comment earlier mentioning Limbitless and I am curious what it's reach really is, have people heard of it, has it helped a number of people, or few?

It was a non-profit starter in ties with the University of Central Florida to provide prosthetics to those whom could not afford it.

Edit: I just added a URL for reference in the body

 

Quick math is the one thing computers were always good at, not anymore apparently.

I had 13 chickens which is a lot for many. None of my birds are small but all loving. I had to cut my flock from 13 to 7 because I was worried about feeding to much on neighboring floras. I made the cut from 13 to 7 near Halloween. Then 2 pit bulls showed up and attacked the coop that day killing missexed rooster. (Oct. 31). I never wanted a rooster, but he fought and defended the flock, and the only other hen injured by an 80/60lb set of male/female blue pitbullsade me question. Maybe I do want a rooster. He died October 31, I set a few eggs aside in literally a Styrofoam box, with half a strand of Christmas lights in it, pull out, push in to get the right temperature (less) ... And a chick was born. Rediulous one at first, 39 mins from start to finish. (Absolutely ridiculous). Now. A second is being born. (I assume 12-18 hours) The rooster passed on 10/31

 

Basic: 20ft x 10ft chicken coop being attacked by loose blue pit bulls. (Weight 60,80 lbs malle and female). I'm trying to address the problem by finding the owners and what not but I first saw them 3 weeks ago. Tried to break in and I told them to stop, they listened and left. They came back today between 2-4pm and broke in and the one rooster that was there (missexed at birth) fought them off, died doing so. It is a very low gauge wire surround the pen, chickens aren't to strong. After the situation I reinforced the entrance where they broke in with higher(lower) gauge wire to about 2.5 ft it's what I had available. They came back at 11pm and broke in above it. I had to let one of the dogs out of the door so they could leave. I don't wish to shoot the dogs, and am dealing with it on other fronts... I was hoping maybe someone had cheap ideas I could use to reinforce the pen in case they come back before the issue is sorted. As a gun owner, I never want guns to be the answer

2 60-80lb dogs (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world to c/backyardchickens@lemmy.ca
 

So 3 weeks ago I had 2 blue (pitbulls?) come by one male one female, jumping at my 20x10ft cage trying to get in. Luckily I walked out there, they friendly to people, I told them to cut it out and go away, and they left. This afternoon between 2-4pm they came back and broke through the wire to get to the chickens, the one missexed rooster fought them to his death, and all the hens survived. I wrapped the bottom 2.5 feet of entry with stronger metal wiring to reinforce it. They came back at 11pm. (They leaped over after tearing through the weaker part up top). I had to let one out) First off hats off to a rooster that fights off 140lbs of dogs. (Picture below for sorrow). Second, I will re-inforce further, but what would you/should I do. My spouse wants me to shoot them, and I am very much a dog lover and believe the female dog was recently pregnant so I think they are out trying to provide.... I'm trying to avoid shooting them at any cost. It's Tennessee. She grew up here. Her mindset is it's killing our livestock, kill it. I'm very much re-inforce, and figure out if we can find who owns them and make sure they know what's going on... What would you do?

Rest in peace knight of the chickens

 

Local news I suppose, but a family friend said it woke them up this morning.

 

Would prefer it to not be "hair" 'makeup" girlish oriented, but rather something challenging for her mind. I am her Uncle, and would like something maybe aimed at DIY outside of Lego if you know what I mean. Budget is small, maybe 39.99? Can move either way if needed

Advice, much needed as a 36 y/o male with no kids
