slow cooker rookie troubleshooting (specifically: chicken stew/soup)
@mmsword *nodnod* okay... Spouse prefers breast meat to thighs; I personally think thighs have a better taste. I'll give the thighs a try and see how it works, and what Spouse thinks. thank you! :D
slow cooker rookie troubleshooting (specifically: chicken stew/soup)
so I found this amazing recipe, which is basically chicken (cut into 1" cubes), vegetables, chicken stock, and spices, and the result is uniformly fantastic *except* that the chicken keeps coming out dry and chewy. is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?
Church Outbreak, the new tabletop game sensation
@kara@occult.camp @zebratron2084 "on your turn you may force another player to sacrifice a martyr" eheheeheheheheh but of course I'm imagining it as a horrible competitive game, like Civ or Monopoly, in which you try to make the Most Virulent Religion Take Over Humanity. XD

@zephasaurus_hex @kara@occult.camp this right here is me saying I would gladly help playtest this because YES.
Church Outbreak, the new tabletop game sensation
@kara@occult.camp oh FUCK YEAH. hey @zebratron2084 LET'S MAKE A RELIGION-BUILDING BOARD GAME. 8D if for no other reason than I want to have an actual "sacrificing a martyr" mechanic.
@noelle oh that was *neat*! and the bit where he went to a "chord" and the audience went "...." XD
@anthracite okay I'm not an expert on plumbing or anything but that don't look right to me.

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,
"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes
I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."
@anthracite it took me a few minutes of staring at it, but I finally realized that my only comics association with "The Filth" is something to do with Transmetropolitan. :D
@cute_weeds @noelle yeaaaahhhh definitely record (either directly or in writing) that shit and consider a complaint to the Chamber of Commerce or something equivalent, because that's lawsuit material right there. :| what a shitshow.
@noelle @cute_weeds is there an owner or management or something--yeah, this? because that's--fucking appalling, and DANGEROUS, especially in a driving instructor, and *fantastically* inappropriate.
@cute_weeds that is *really* fucking disturbing, not least because it indicates a deep streak of anger that he could easily take out by violent driving. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. :[
