uhhhh that's not how everyone does it?
It allowed you to synchronize files between computers over floppy disk.
Lol.
A couple years ago someone at work asked me if I had a highlighter, and handed them a sharpie.
Nobody is ever outside, unless they are mowing their lawn. Even when its nice out
Haha, as if any paper had the ability to do anything but publish press releases.
do a little actual marketing/advertising on the things he actually has accomplished.
and he has done stuff.
Is it because they actually started doing shit?
Yeah I had my yard full of destroying angels last summer, when they first showed up I was all "sweet! Mushrooms!" Because they look real similar to agaricus. But then I saw the white gills, and was all :(.
And I made sure to tell my kids not to mess with them and why.
My Easter Cactus decided to grow as a regular cactus for just one segment.
Just this one segment is like this. The whole rest of the plant, including segments further down the branch are normal.
Iowa voters will decide if David Whipple. who spread false election fraud rumours, should be in charge of elections.
Hadn't heard about this guy

Smoke Detector False Alarms?
My house is pretty new, 5 years old. It has interconnected smoke alarms in every room (11), as required. I believe they are all First Alert brand.
We have been getting false alarms from them about every 3 months. Most of them are in the middle of the night which isn't fun for me, and really terrifies my kids (6 & 8).
There is no apparent cause, no cooking is going on, no dust. They go off for a while and stop on their own. Some of these are CO detectors, but we had the Fire Department come out when it happened one time and they tested and everything was fine.
When they are going off, I can't find the one that is causing it because they are all going off. However, on these the "ready" light blinks red if it has been triggered in the past, and every one of the units has triggered based on that. I actually permanently removed one because it triggered 3 times in one night. I thought it was a bad unit, but it just happened again at 5 this morning with a different one.
Nobody has died in this house, so I'm pretty confident it's not ghosts (/s)
Anyone have suggestions?

Simple brown sugar brine for about 4 hours (forgot to start it before bed), then coated with melted butter with Penzey's Mural of Flavor and Galena Street.
225° for 45 minutes with Sam's club "Competition Blend" pellets in the box. Then 350-ish (max I could get out of it) for about an hour and a half with no smoke until breast was at 160°
Used the drippings for gravy for mashed potatoes.
Made some fried tenderloin at the wife's suggestion. I knew there was a reason I married her.
Wife said I should make Tenderloins/pork fritters/schnitzel for dinner so I did. Double breaded with seasoned flour and then saltine cracker crumbs. Gotta have pickles and mustard! #cooking #deepfried #pork #tenderloin #yumyum #foodphoto #food

Baby's First Coaster
Went to Worlds of Fun on Thursday. There weren't any lines, so the 8yo didn't have time to worry about what it was going to be like. He said he was done with roller coasters the rest of the day, but he'd go on one again sometime.
Signs your trip might not be going as planned:
Large camper in a parking lot, with a ServiceMaster van pulled up to it.
Nice night to sit out on the porch
There was supposed to be an image with this but I'm getting a timeout error :(
This year's peppers and tomatoes.
Someone dumped their extras on us and I don't have a plot dug, so in some buckets they go.
I have grown Romas and Habaneros in double-bucket self-watering planters before, but I didn't have enough buckets this year. This is only half of the plants we got, I passed the rest on to my parents.
They are: 2x Serranos, a Jalapeno, a Sweet Black Hungarian, and a Bell pepper. Also 2x "heirloom mix" tomatoes, 1 Roma, 2x Abe Lincoln and a mystery tomato .
