I think I bought 1 bottle at 0% and decided I’d rather have the money.

Found this on Reddit years ago, and it’s been my go to since.

Ingredients:

2 lb 80/20 ground chuck

1 lb 90/10 ground sirloin

1 lb smoked sausage

½ lb thick cut bacon (optional)

1 Tbsp butter (optional)

1 large yellow onion, finely chopped

2 jalapeno peppers, diced (w/seeds)

4 serrano peppers, diced (w/seeds if you want it hot)

2 red bell pepper, diced (remove center and seeds)

6 cloves of garlic, minced

3 Ancho chilies

1 Pasilla chile

1 Costeña chile

1 guajillo chile

1 New Mexico chile

Small can of chipotles in adobo sauce

Small can of sun dried tomatoes

29 oz can crushed tomatoes

2 Tbsp cumin

2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar

½ Tbsp red pepper

~12 oz Young’s chocolate stout beer

Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Seed and stem the dried chilies (anchos, pasilla, costena, guajillo, and NM). Heat them in enough water (or chicken stock) to cover the chilies and let them soak for 15 minutes.
2. If including bacon, slice the bacon into squares, and fry in a large pot. When finished, remove the bacon leaving the rendered fat.
3. Over medium high heat, (melt butter if not using bacon) add onion (let onions caramelize for a bit), jalapenos, serranos, and red bells peppers (they should sizzle when you add them) to the bacon fat (or butter) and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onions start to turn translucent. Add the garlic about halfway through this step.
4. Add the meat and sausage and cook until fully browned.
5. At this point the chilies should be soft. Remove them from the water (discard water, it will be bitter), and place them in a blender along with the chipotles in adobo sauce and sun dried tomatoes (tomatoes added toward the end).
6. Maybe add some beer to help move everything around.
7. Puree until nice and smooth and then add to chili pot along with crushed tomatoes, spices and everything else. Stir well. Cook at a low simmer for 2-4 hours.

I switched to a vape and progressively got lower nicotine amounts until I was at 0 and then stopping was easy.

Now the time has come to act…and act fast.

I’m leaving.

There has been a good chunk of optimistic articles out over the last 48 hours. I’m doing my best to not give them much thought because I don’t want to lose twice if Trump wins. My vote is cast which at this point is all I can do. Here’s to hoping there’s a major upset or all of the swing states go blue tonight and we can all rest easy.

I’m so glad this happened. I really wanted to believe them when they said it was an error and would corrected. It appears that in relatively short order they addressed the issue, gave an explanation, an expectation, then nailed it. I hate when I recommend something, then have to backtrack because they changed.

I have a buddy that’s about to pop the question to his partner, and the topic of asking the father for permission came up, and it’s just so fucking dumb. I didn’t ask my father in law, but if I did and he said no, I would just laugh and tell him his opinion doesn’t actually matter, and maybe I’d next see him at the wedding for the last time.

True in theory, but in practice, those are pretty much universally accepted curse words. I personally swear all of the time when I know the audience I’m around, and hear people swearing from across my office, so culturally it’s not a thing where I work or especially my previous manufacturing job. In places that have outside customers or patients, the expectation is generally different and varying levels of masking those outbursts is required, sometimes even saying things like "crap"is too much.

That’s one of my favorites to bring up to parents of daughters that are Trump supporters. “So you support a man that forcibly raped a woman and wants to know they schedule and status off your daughter’s vagina all of the time?” Make it personal because most won’t change until it affects them.

Until it’s escalated, and then it’s definitely OPs problem. Most jobs have something about professionalism written is their handbook. The coworker will win that fight with hr every time.

Nope. I’m just giving some additional context referencing something I read yesterday. I would love to see these dirty fuckers arrested if they are in fact breaking the law. Ianal.

Somebody posted the text of the law the other day, and as dumb as it is, it’s legally within the rights of states to deny federal monitoring of their polling sites. However, I do believe that if the feds have a warrant or whatever the equivalent document is, they can ignore the state’s dissent. I’d like to think the people pulling the strings knew this was going to happen and prepared accordingly.

You never know when you’ll find yourself in a position where there are 20 choices and you just can’t decide.

Didn’t be so hard on yourself, that was extremely useful.

100% and it takes a pretty shallow view to think otherwise.

Is the US uniquely racist compared to the rest of the world? I feel that answer is no, while also knowing that this place is fucked up at times.

Anecdotally, I’ve seen a good lot of houses with local Republican candidates that don’t have Trump signs. Some only have Trump signs.

I had made a comment a while back about only seeing Trump signs outside of my Iowa community. Almost immediately after I said that, there were a good chuck of Democratic signs starting to pop up, which is way more than the one or two I had seen previously.

I don’t know that I’ve seen crazy amounts of flipping or anything like that, but it was a noticeable difference that I wasn’t specifically looking for.

I do think that what I remember seeing.

I never claimed otherwise. I just explained why I hate them.
