I thought it was invented by John Campbell, right before he saved the Japanese from corporate sabotage.

And his dog, Chunky.

Man, he loved that dog.

Sure, ok, but more lethal to whom?

Picard: “I have a sausage.” Crusher: “A sausage? That’s practically unknown in the 24th century.”

Well? What are you doing just standing there? It ain’t gonna shuck itself.

If you had told me this pic was from the USS Alabama that I toured a few years back, I wouldn’t have disagreed with you, even down to the color of the floor.

A lot of these ammunition bays were deep within the hull of the ship. I’m assuming to protect them from all the other chaos that would be going on around them. Makes you realize just how dangerous a sub with one well aimed torpedo could be.

Another remarkable thing I saw was that the Alabama had a massive ice cream freezer on it. Was to improve morale on those long voyages. Anything like that on the North Carolina?

It’s only a select few who are looking for that from the diameter axis.

“She had hips that would put the main gun of a 1940s era battleship to shame. And her name was Helga, because of the hell she bore unto the Germans. I wouldn’t have touched her, but that’s because few men could.”

The Internet’s own douche.

Baby corn goes up to Pop corn and asks:

Dad, where do babies come from?

The Thing is a Christmas movie.

Pretty sure he would have been Sonic.

We are all living in Cthulhu’s world now.

Good. Let the ones who can, survive. Not be swarmed by zombies.

High quality Greek yogurt. The flavor and texture is very much noticeable.

I’m starting to realize high quality organic coffee is a thing too.

Best bet short term is to rig something that dulls the noise. A few insulated panels would do, so long as the heat isn’t too intense, but will have the unfortunate effect of reducing the heat to your residence, so you’ll need to augment that somehow. If there’s air in the line, then it’s probably not working to its fullest potential anyway.

Long term, I agree with everyone else. Have the super hire a professional. This is not one you want to DIY, especially while it’s operational. I’ve done carpentry, wiring and plumbing. I’d never touch steam, doubly so while it’s running.

Pumpkin is one of my favorite things to add to chili. It serves as a thickener and makes the flavor richer, more bodied.

Chopped Sweet potato is a vegetarian chili addition. I’m personally mixed on it, but it compliments the beans well.

Beans and rice has been the poor man’s nutritional meal for millennia. Throw in a plantain or chicken or tofu occasionally for supplemental nutrients / protein. Add hot sauce for heat. Don’t forget to add salt to taste.

It’s cheap, nutritional and has the added benefit of being tasty.

Chili is another option - tomato, beans a can of pumpkin as filler, maybe a sweet potato. Pepper and onions for taste and some TVP or Beyond Meat crumbles for some chewiness…or ground Turkey if you eat meat. It’s simple and can sustain you for a week. Spice it up with chili powder and cumin, maybe some garlic salt and a lime. I made a crockpot full the other day. There’s a reason cowboys out in the prairie ate this stuff.

Maybe something by Gloria Estefan? The background music you provided has that crooner / Latin flair.

I’d do like that one guy did on the streets of New York. Cash it all out into $1 bills and just make it rain. But I’d prefer do it in the struggling mountain towns around me.

Trump is our time’s Andrew Jackson but somehow worse.
