I could go for a couple of those dogs. There was a Chicago-style hot dog shop across the street from my office when I worked in downtown Pittsburgh years ago, but it's long gone now. Another sandwich I really liked when I was working on a project at Inland Steel was Zel's BBQ beef sandwich. They had several shops in the northwest Indiana area. Big Al

I really like shiso when it’s in pickled plums or a seaweed salad. It also nice tempura-ized. But I think Mr. SK thinks of it as something you eat in food prepared at a restaurant, not something he uses in his regular cooking. And the plant is not something you think of as an indoor house plant… it kinda just looks like a weed in a pot.

Wonderful!!

One step further.... If President Joe Biden were to not only acknowledge Democrats’ worries that he’s hurting the party’s chances at the poll but decides to resign from the presidency altogether, Kamala Harris would immediately become the President of the United States. This transition is outlined in the U.S. Constitution, and would make her the first woman and the first person of South Asian and African American descent to hold the office. https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2024/07/20/president-kamala-harris-how-it-could-happen-if-biden-quits/74467430007/ Like any option it has its pros and cons.

I think it’s a White Pine “Baldwin” Pinus parviflora 'Baldwin'

I'm sort of where Mik is at. I'd be surprised if a bad case of COVID is tagged as the reason. But I guess anything is possible. And at this point, it really doesn't matter what reason he gives. Everyone will know why he dropped out.

They look cute but are wicked mean creatures. Used to see them occasionally in Door County and we always gave them wide berth.

Quote from 1984 or Brave New World goes here.

I have an update!! [image: 1721429481566-d79903b9-5f37-4192-af85-2bc7ff9dcd50-image.jpeg] The electrician came out. The landscape lights work, and they actually look great when on. The guy said the part that was worried about is just old and doesn’t look great but still functions so we’re leaving it as is. (Bc the alternative is probably totally disconnect and switch to solar stick lights) So Instead of swapping out the lights that are there, we added a timer to the switch plate as per @wtg ‘s suggestion. Yay! I think we might actually be done with all the stuff we needed to when we closed on the house

On the sit-com a patient mentioned a girlfriend who was manic-depressive and said that she was a heck of a lot of fun half the time. I thought that was hilarious. I was living with the woman who is now my former wife. She is manic depressive and that hit home. I think that was the only show I was a fan of.

Salmon burgers and tofu in the air fryer. Beef, salmon, and lamb on the outdoor grill. Foreman grill is probably still in the oven drawer. Baked potatoes and sweet potatoes in the air fryer.

@Steve-Miller said in It's a miracle: Sharon’s grandparents got their whole house replied after an incident like yours. Their old galvanized plumbing system had nearly closed shut with corrosion over the years and then a bunch of sand got pumped in when a contractor hit the water main in the street. Contractor’s insurance company paid to repipe the entire house in shiny new copper pipe! Cool beans! We have copper already, but I grew up in a house with galvanized pipe so I know the issues. A lot of the houses in the subdivision had already been replumbed, but my Mom sold it before hers needed it.

@wtg said in sharing video here?: Once you've figured it out, could you post the steps in the Tips and Tricks thread Do you mean figured out how to limit view-ability? That's not what I can't figure out. What I can't figure out is how to get back into my SK YT account. Re videos, when you upload a video to YT, you can select public, private and unlisted (as I recall). Only public videos are searchable. Private I think means you set who can see it (lie, based on email addresses). Unlisted means anyone with the link can see it (so you don't have to preset access) but it's not searchable. I always used unlisted for videos I shared on PW or WTF.

Yep!

They do tumble off of bagels, but I still love them. Poppy seeds are very common in Lithuanian dessert cuisine. Besides a poppy seed roll, we have a traditional Christmas Eve dish consisting of small leavened biscuits that have some poppy seeds. The biscuits are served soaked in a poppy seed milk. One of my favorite holiday foods. Christmas Eve isn't complete without it!

That was my first thought but I double checked and RFK Jr did post an apology on X. From everything I can discern, it really is his account. https://x.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1813198830281593269 A lot of other sources confirmed this and it's a day or two later and there has been no change regarding the story, so I'm certain the audio is authentic. I agree the deepfake problem is very real.

@Steve-Miller Reminds me of the future premised in Brave New World so many years ago. Big Al

Thank you!!
