We need to have a serious conversation about why anyone still buys pre-made garlic bread at the store. This right here? This is the final boss of comfort food. The process: Slow-roasted garlic cloves (until they're basically butter) Freshly chopped parsley & herbs A heavy-handed layer of mozzarella &... show more

Being an Orbit/Cloo feels really heavy right now… There’s been so much silence and so many plans falling through and it’s a lot to process. If you’re feeling sad or discouraged, you’re not alone. It’s okay to feel that way. I really hope we can hold onto the memories, the music, and everything the girls gave us. I’m really glad we’re still here together. Even if this isn’t everything we wished for, I’m grateful you are still here!

Apparently, I saw this video online and I decided to share. What this worker is applying is called bitumen, or what many of us know as bituminous coating. Most people think a wall is a solid, impenetrable block, but in reality, it is more like a sponge. Concrete and blocks have microscopic pores that pull water from the earth through a process we call capillary action. This thick black substance is the shield that stops that water from climbing up into the house. It is not about making the wall look good because this part will be buried under the dirt forever. It is about creating a skin that water cannot breathe through. When do you need to do this? The need for this arises because the soil is a very aggressive environment. Water is not your only enemy.. The ground also contains salts and sulfates that want to eat away at the cement. If this moisture finds its way to the steel bars inside the columns, those bars will start to rust. And when steel rusts, it expands, and that expansion is what cracks the concrete from the inside out. This coating is the only thing standing between your foundation and that kind of slow destruction. Thats is why if you see wet patches at the bottom of your walls inside your house, it usually means someone skipped this step or did it poorly during construction. You can apply this anytime you are building parts of a structure that will stay in contact with the ground. It is common in areas where the water table is high or where the soil stays damp for most of the year. This is a one-shot opportunity. Once you backfill the soil, you can never go back to fix it without a lot of expense and a lot of digging. It is about having the foresight to protect the heart of the building while it is still exposed. Please don’t ignore this if you need to. If you ignore it now to save a bit of money, you will be funding the future decay of your own home. I hope this helps.

Hey Candace… Are you talking about the SAME garage/basement that you said you made them enter through because they’re basically filthy dogs that aren’t worthy of entering through the front door? If so, sounds like it was perfect fine for them to enter through it but if they wanted to do a quick live while you’re running ads in addition to making $400+ dollars every 16 seconds this is now an egregious act and a violation of your children? Which is it? Is it the doggie door or your children’s sanctuary?? Just asking questions because “I’m allowed to think” and, unlike you, I actually exercise that right. You are so full of crap.

In this encounter, the officer is wrong. confirms that if ICE or law enforcement stops you on a private road, even if they claim you had no permission to be there, that does not erase the First Amendment. You still have the constitutional right to record the encounter, as long as you do not interfere. Private property is not a constitutional black hole. Get PAXIS into the hands of every immigrant and citizen in the USA. FIGHT ICE. FIGHT FASCISM. FIGHT TRUMP:

Rumor has it I’m still swimming… 😂 Lol, but hey, I’m about to get real for a second. There have been many moments recently where I’ve felt like the currents have been too tough to swim through… All I wanted to do was throw in the towel and come up for air. But it’s in moments like this where I remind myself that I CAN swim… and I’m actually a damn strong swimmer at that! I may have to hold my breath for a little longer, or paddle a bit harder, but I always make it to the other side. So this is your reminder to just keep swimming. If I can do it, so can you. Whatever it is, you’ve got this ❤️ #mentalhealth

"A lot of this SNAP/Food Stamp benefits talk has me f*cked up." "Why do you think that eating is a privilege?" "We all need to eat, to live. It should be a basic human right." What is your reaction to this take? First off, in order to be able to get food from a store, that requires the labor of MANY people. NOBODY is entitled to the labor of someone else. Period. Second, NOBODY has the right to free food, PAID FOR BY TAXPAYERS. Go and earn it.

Sincere question: We all know the government narrative of jet fuel causing this, is absolute hogwash and anyone believing that a small little jet can do this to a building, has a serious lack of intellectual humility and serious problems with critical thinking. MY QUESTION: Why do you believe that thermite or bombs took down the Towers? Is it just because it counteracts the official narrative? What is the most solid evidence that makes you think it was bombs or thermite? Let's have a discussion in the comment section...

Think you’ve got the diagnosis? Think again!! This is a case where the diagnosis is not as important as the lesson it teaches you. Watch the video and then check back for hidden portion of this post to see what the answer is... And what lesson you should have learned from it ! Avidly enhancing T2 dark lesions in the subependymal region with increased diffusion signal. If I said that description to you—even without seeing the images—you would say lymphoma! Was that your answer? It was mine! And we are both wrong! It turned out to be metastatic melanoma. But the lesson here is that just because you were wrong by pathology, doesn’t mean you were wrong on the imaging If I saw a case like this again, I would still say lymphoma! You won’t be right every time—there will be weird cases. But you are making a bet on the imaging appearance and you should always bet the odds—with the risk that every now and then you might be wrong! So don’t remember from this case that metastases can look like lymphoma—remember that sometimes it’s ok to be wrong as long as you read the case right

🚨The Clarity Act just made it out of committee. THAT IS A WIN, no question. And yes, I believe American-made digital assets like $XRP $HBAR $XLM $ONDO $TEL $ZBCN $ADA $LINK $ALGO and others will benefit over the long term. BUT SLOW DOWN! This does not mean you sell your house and lever yourself to the moon. This is not the finish line. This is the warm-up lap. There is still more work ahead. The Senate still has to debate it, vote on it, and work through the rest of the process. Then it goes to the President’s desk. And even after that, the real regulatory work begins. So yes, enjoy the progress. Raise a glass tonight if you want. But do not bet the farm. The rails are being built. This is a long-term shift. Do not expect straight-up price action from here. There can still be shakeouts. There can still be pullbacks. There can still be downtrends that test your conviction. But if you zoom out and look at the bigger picture, the direction still looks up to me. That is why I keep saying patience matters. Clarity will not reward the most emotional people. It will reward the people who stay focused long enough to let the thesis play out. Do you have the guts to think long term and hold for generational gains? 👇

I don’t need perfect words or grand solutions right now. I just need you near, arms wrapped around me, hearts slowing together, reminding us that we are not alone in this. Healing is not always in advice or reasoning. Sometimes it lives in a quiet embrace that says I am here and I am not leaving. So hold me until the weight softens, until the chaos eases, until we remember that love is meant to be refuge. With you, even the hardest moments become bearable, even the nights of fear and doubt feel like we can survive them, together.

WILD MELTDOWN: Bakari Sellers YELLS at Mr. Wonderful: “DON’T BE A DICK” on CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip during a heated discussion about the Democrats’ gerrymandering efforts. Sellers: “There are people in this country who fought, died, and bled for the right to vote. Don’t be a dick!” Kevin O’Leary: “I’m not a dick. I’m pointing something out to you. The Constitution is being upheld. What’s the problem with that? Do you have a problem with the Constitution of the United States of America?”

Can’t sleep as I’m still absolutely fuming about what a shit show VAR is. That today was a fella with an agenda relaying his preference to the referee and it’s not on. When you look at how the TMO is used in rugby, you hear a conversation between two officials, no need for screens as all that is being relayed are facts. Black and white conversations of what has happened, not what might have happened, or what he believes happened, a matter of fact. The result of this is that everyone watching knows why and is happy with the conclusion as it’s been caused by the actions of the players and everyone understands why. This VAR bollocks can’t continue. 😡

Why do women think this is attractive?? Face fully inked like a walking billboard, lips pumped so full they look like they’re about to burst, and the camera still rolling like this is the peak of female beauty. I’m a dad of two little boys. I look at this and all I can think is: what the hell happened to standards? When did we decide that permanent self-destruction was empowerment? This isn’t edgy. This isn’t brave. This is a warning label for a culture that’s lost its damn mind. You can do whatever you want to your body. Freedom still exists. But don’t expect the rest of us to clap and pretend this is attractive, healthy, or something our daughters should aspire to. Clown world is undefeated. Protect your kids. Raise them with eyes that still know the difference between beauty and a medical emergency.

This is the damage that a six-year-old autistic girl did to a classroom when the teacher told her no and try to discipline her. The teacher was suspended for three days. Was this a fair punishment to the teacher, or do you think it goes too far? I realize that this is a room splitter. I don’t understand if an adult in charge is not allowed to discipline an unruly child then what are they there for ..? Yes even if the child has special needs. What’s the right course of action here?

In a rare sit-down interview this week, Taylor Swift was asked whether her relationship has ever made her reconsider the pace of her career. She didn’t hesitate. “I’ve been very clear from the beginning,” she said. “This is the most productive and successful period of my life, and I’m not interested in dialing any of it back. We had a conversation about it early on. He floated the idea of me taking more time off, maybe adjusting the schedule so we could have more normal days together. I shut it down immediately.” When pressed on how that conversation went, Swift was direct. “He was disappointed. That’s fair. But I told him this isn’t a phase I’m going to grow out of. The work comes first right now. The tours, the albums, the business side of everything this is the version of my life I’ve spent years building. I’m not about to step away from it because someone else is ready for a quieter chapter. He eventually understood that. Or at least he accepted it. There’s a difference.” Asked whether she worries about the long-term impact on the relationship, she replied: “I think about it, sure. But I’m not going to make decisions out of fear. If the relationship can only survive if I become a smaller version of myself, then it was never going to last anyway. Right now my momentum is everything. He knows where he stands in the order of priorities, and he’s still here. That says enough for me.”

A friend of mine just recently got his first gun, a striker fired Glock 19. He is terrified to leave a round chambered. To anyone reading this who has this same fear, I want to alleviate your concerns. I'm going to explain why there is nothing to be afraid of. First and foremost, I fully understand your concern. It's not irrational. And you're not stupid for being nervous about a bullet being aimed at your leg with the striker cocked back under spring tension about an 1/8 of an inch from the primer. I get it. I shared this concern when I was new to carrying. But your fear is due to a lack of understanding of the internal safety features of a modern striker fired handgun. On a properly maintained modern striker fired pistol the striker CANNOT hit the primer on the chambered round without the trigger being pulled. Can't. Not shouldn't. Can't. (If you have any good Sig P320 jokes, this is the proper place to share them) There is a block that the striker will hit and stop if it is released without the trigger being depressed. It works just like a lock and key. There is a channel in the blocker that the striker can pass through if it is in the fire position. It only goes into the fire position if the trigger is pulled which pushes the blocker into the fire position. A spring keeps the blocker firmly in the block position until then. The blocker is a solid piece of steel that won't break. And if your gun is securely in a hard sided Kydex holster nothing can move the trigger unless it is unholstered. Many guns like Glocks have a trigger safety that prevents the trigger from moving due to force of dropping. Your finger has to be on the trigger safety to move it. So the gun cannot fire unless you pull the trigger. And it's easy for you to test this safety feature to see how it works! See the video below. You can try to push the striker forward by moving that piece at the back of the slide forward. That piece is the back of the striker. Push it forward and it will stop. The tip won't come out through the breach. You see it trying to come through but it gets stuck. Now push that little button in. That is the actual blocker. When you push it in you will now be able to move the striker forward through the breach and see how it will strike the primer. You can test this easily every time you disassemble your pistol to verify it is still working. You can break this safety feature by removing the blocker or losing the spring. But if it's there it will work. (You would be the first person in firearms history who has ever lost a spring. Literally the first one. It has never happened before. 😐) But it doesn't come out as part of regular maintenance. You have to disassemble the firing assembly to get it out. That won't happen by accident. And if you do that on purpose you should do this blocker test when you reassemble it to make sure the safety feature is working. My video shows a Glock slide. All Glocks will look like this. Other brands may put the blocker in a different spot or it may be a slightly different shape. But they all (mostly) have the same design. If you test yours as demonstrated and it works like mine does, your gun WILL NOT fire without pulling the trigger. (If you just thought of another P320 joke, this is another good place to toss that out there)

To anyone reading this who has this same fear, I want to alleviate your concerns. I'm going to explain why there is nothing to be afraid of. First and foremost, I fully understand your concern. It's not irrational. And you're not stupid for being nervous about a bullet being aimed at your leg with the striker cocked back under spring tension about an 1/8 of an inch from the primer. I get it. I shared this concern when I was new to carrying. But your fear is due to a lack of understanding of the internal safety features of a modern striker fired handgun. On a properly maintained modern striker fired pistol the striker CANNOT hit the primer on the chambered round without the trigger being pulled. Can't. Not shouldn't. Can't. (If you have any good Sig P320 jokes, this is the proper place to share them) There is a block that the striker will hit and stop if it is released without the trigger being depressed. It works just like a lock and key. There is a channel in the blocker that the striker can pass through if it is in the fire position. It only goes into the fire position if the trigger is pulled which pushes the blocker into the fire position. A spring keeps the blocker firmly in the block position until then. The blocker is a solid piece of steel that won't break. And if your gun is securely in a hard sided Kydex holster nothing can move the trigger unless it is unholstered. Many guns like Glocks have a trigger safety that prevents the trigger from moving due to force of dropping. Your finger has to be on the trigger safety to move it. So the gun cannot fire unless you pull the trigger. And it's easy for you to test this safety feature to see how it works! See the video below. You can try to push the striker forward by moving that piece at the back of the slide forward. That piece is the back of the striker. Push it forward and it will stop. The tip won't come out through the breach. You see it trying to come through but it gets stuck. Now push that little button in. That is the actual blocker. When you push it in you will now be able to move the striker forward through the breach and see how it will strike the primer. You can test this easily every time you disassemble your pistol to verify it is still working. You can break this safety feature by removing the blocker or losing the spring. But if it's there it will work. (You would be the first person in firearms history who has ever lost a spring. Literally the first one. It has never happened before. 😐) But it doesn't come out as part of regular maintenance. You have to disassemble the firing assembly to get it out. That won't happen by accident. And if you do that on purpose you should do this blocker test when you reassemble it to make sure the safety feature is working. My video shows a Glock slide. All Glocks will look like this. Other brands may put the blocker in a different spot or it may be a slightly different shape. But they all (mostly) have the same design. If you test yours as demonstrated and it works like mine does, your gun WILL NOT fire without pulling the trigger.
