I’m just gonna go ahead and make everyone’s lives a little better;
- 5oz Flour
- 1½tbsp sugar
- 2tsp baking powder
- ¼tsp baking soda
- ½tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 2tbsp oil (vegetable / peanut)
- ¾cup milk (preferably 3.5% but work with whatever you have)
- ½tsp vanilla extract
Measures are based on a 250ml cup.
Mix wet ingredients together (start by whisking the egg into the oil for better consistency, then slowly whisk in the milk before adding the vanilla). Sift together the flour and other dry ingredients. Slowly fold the wet into the dry, taking care to mix as little as possible (lumps are OK). Let sit covered in plastic wrap (press to the surface to avoid a skin forming) for 30 minutes to relax the gluten. Cook ladelfuls on a 350F skillet until a knife to the middle comes out clean.
This is enough for 2 people, or 1 very hungry person. Multiply quantities as needed. If your pancakes are coming out sad and flat, check that your baking powder / baking soda aren’t expired. Generally you should replace them after about 6 months for best results.
I love this particular recipe because the results are great, it’s easy, and the ingredients are all the sort of thing you tend to keep around anyway. The only stuff that isn’t shelf stable is the milk and eggs, and most people usually keep milk and eggs handy. It’s great being able to wake up and think “I want pancakes” and boom, there are pancakes.
The resting step can be skipped if you’re impatient or short of time. It just helps them to rise a little better. They’ll still taste great.
I’m guessing from “american section” that your definition of a “pancake” is what we’d call a “crepe”. If your goal is fluffy, Canadian / American style pancakes doused in butter and maple syrup, that recipe is gonna make nothing of the sort.
God, that last episode was nuts. I know Gooseworx said the series was heavily inspired by I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, but I still wasn’t expecting it to go quite that hard.
You don’t always get a choice.
My wife will quote this at least three times a day.
The new Monsterverse slaps. Like, the deeper into it they went, the more and more they got to just go completely nuts with the lore and the big monster fights.
Yeah, I mean, obviously a board wipe that evades your own stuff is better, but if all you’ve done for the first four turns is set up this combo, you don’t even have a board state to protect. And a wrath can’t be shocked off the board before it can fire.
This is exactly why it’s just not actually all that busted. There are simply better ways to get the effect it gives you.
Yes and no. It’s a two card combo, and the mana costs are all sequential, so in theory you can do it perfectly on curve. On the other hand, its not really worth doing in singleton formats given that it relies on two very specific cards for a payoff that’s… fine. Like, pretty good, but not worth two cards for something that needs a perfect draw to work.
Yeah, every time you tap hero to kill something the effect of the staff triggers, untapping the hero. Repeat ad infinitum.
It’s really not. As a 1/1 with no other abilities it does nothing to improve your board state. It’s only value is being repeatable removal, and it can be pinged off the board for nothing. You also have to wait a turn to fire it, which gives your opponent(s) a whole turn to deal with it.
It’s a good card, arguably a seriously underappreciated one, but it’s telling that it’s a rare that goes for $2 and has an inclusion rate of just 0.32% on EDHREC.
It does combo hilariously with Thornbite Staff though.
No, I think you’re actually correct about that. Definitely look into it. I’ve edited my original post to reflect the ambiguity.
God dammit…
OK, here’s your damn rum ration.
Trader Vic’s Navy Grog (More or less)
- 2oz Dark Rum
- 1/2oz Grapefruit Juice
- 1/4oz Lime Juice
- 1/4oz Honey Syrup (1:1)
Shake over ice (that means put it in a cocktail shaker filled halfway up with ice cubes and shake until the outside starts to frost up a little). Strain into a rocks glass, or whatever the fuck you have lying around.
To make 1:1 honey syrup just mix warm (not boiling) water with honey in equal parts, so 1 cup honey to 1 cup water. Stir until fully dissolved, store in a squeezy bottle in the fridge.
This drunk is fucking delicious, it will fuck you up gloriously, and it’ll stave off the scurvy, you filthy animal.
If you can find out where a Canadian ancestor was born, a lot of those towns maintain surprisingly accurate records. Sometimes an email or a phone call can go a long way.
Look into it. The worst that comes from calling up the Canadian consulate is that they say no, right?
Because it’s always worth making sure that people are aware of this, Canada has legally reinstated inherited citizenship. The law which sought to remove it was struck down by our supreme court.
That means that if you have a Canadian ancestor, going back at least as far as your great-grandparents, and covering all familial ties including marriage and adoption, it is likely that you already are a Canadian citizen. There’s an application process you have to go through to establish your citizenship, but this may be an option for people with the resources to move, but without the kind of background that would get you through our very restrictive immigration system.
It may also be worth reaching out to the Rainbow Road, a Canadian charity that works to relocate queer and trans people to safety in Canada.
I understand that most people probably aren’t in a position to benefit from this, but I mention it for those who are.
So, you remember how, years back, right wing chuds kept claiming that if America got marriage equality, people would start marrying their cars? Chuck Tingle basically went “Bet” and started writing queer erotic fiction about everything fucking everything. People having sex with sentient dinosaurs, people having sex with sentient motorbikes, people having sex with their own self-doubt, people having sex with their butts, people having sex with Chuck Tingle’s book about them having sex with their own butts, people having sex with Chuck Tingle’s book about people having sex with Chuck Tingle’s book about people having sex with their own butts…
It’s all gloriously meta, written with intense passion, joy, and love, actually quite fun and sexy if that’s what you’re looking for, and defiantly queer. Chuck even writes sexless “Tinglers” for ace readers. Everyone just cuddles and gets headpats.
A man is not dead while his name is still spoken.
I just don’t understand why they have to go shoving it in everyone’s faces like this. Don’t they know children could see these pictures?
For those curious as to how this works…
Part one is ‘:()’. This creates a new function named ‘:’. That’s because we start with the name, ‘:’, then the open and closed brackets (this is where you put any inputs the function expects), which is the shell syntax for creating a function.
Part two is ’ :'. This creates the content of the function. The curly braces define the beginning and end of the content. Everything inside them is the function itself. The first part of the actual function is ‘:’, so it’s literally running itself. On its own this would just mean it runs forever doing nothing. But then we have a ‘|’ (pipe) character; this takes the output of the previous command and feeds it into the input of the next one. The next command is another ‘:’, so it’s calling itself again. What this means is that every time ‘:’ gets called, it calls itself twice. The last part of the function is an ‘&’ character so that the second call of the function gets run in the background. So now every time this loop runs we create two copies of our program (yes, this is a program, just a very simple one), which each create two copies, and so on.
Finally, we have the last characters / commands. The first is a ‘;’ (semi-colon) which means “After doing that, do this.” That allows us to continue on to the last command, which is ‘:’ again. So, having defined our endlessly multiplying function, we finally run it for the first time, setting off the entire self-replicating loop. Endless copies of this tiny program will run themselves infinitely, eating up all our RAM and CPU time and crashing the PC.
In practice, modern Linux systems have an upper limit on the number of processes that can run, so if your system resources are high enough it won’t crash, just struggle.
