OT - What are you doing right now?

I am likely jinxing myself here but not a hard over mechanical issue.  Two years ago to the week I head upstairs and it is quite obvious that the unit is running its a$$ off with no effect.  
Always on a Saturday-audible live/sleep on the first floor and get a tech on Monday.  Slow leak in the unit-recharge with liquid gold (R whatever) and no issues since.  I know it will happen again but for the $250 repair/recharge and now two years on I can live with that. 
Good luck with the middleman warranty company.

Spent the afternoon bagging and freezing 1 1/2 cases of roasted green chilies into 6 oz. bags. I should have taken a pic. 

We had burgers with roasted green chilies (obviously), chipotle aioli, and Ancho chili rub on the patty. Please - no hate on the store bought bun, lol. I know - I’m a slacker. The pepper is a pickled jalapeño from the garden. Not a bad day.

My 18 y/o daughter just lost her sh!t when she found out about the impending Tic Tok ban. 

Yes, she leads a privileged life.

I had my kids delete TikTok a few months ago.  I read their TS and did some research.  No go in our house.

Were TikTok's ToS really more egregious than many other apps?
Part of me thinks much of this is just a side effect of this intentionally blooming cold war between US-China.

Yes, it was more egregious.  Paraphrasing, but my take away was "we own everything you create and everything in your phone including images, contacts, documents, etc.  We reserve the right to sell or give away all of this information".

That would be illegal.  The "everything in your phone" part.  But they will snatch up cookies from browsers and your contacts.  So does everyone.  You can opt out in settings.  There is hateful content in all social apps, just wish it were filtered out better.  Fine balance between 1st amendment and misinformation and hate.

I was going to document this on a separate thread, but then rum and coke happened and I mysteriously forgot to take pictures. Anyway, shrimp tacos with Sriracha lime slaw and elote salad. Served on the finest china. Perfect for a hot a$$ day. 
Also, the result of the attempt on salsa.

As I think Cap says...“better to be lucky than good”...I ran upon this as the sun was setting this evening. Was putting together the deep fryer for a wing cook after work and was taking my sweet time with a few beverages. I had watered tomatoes right before dark and probably walked by this no telling how many times. It was lying at the door that we use 95% of the time. Luckily I had turned on all of the outside lights.

Pics out of order. Pork belly burnt ends and babybacks. Officially mouth breathing

In the style of Capricorn One?

@SGH growing up around what I thought was big equipment, I’ve always been fascinated with “big iron,” whether it floats or moves earth.  Thanks for sharing.

I literally eat bread every day. Whether we make it at the bakery or I make it at home, finally just scored two homemade bread cookbooks to start using. I’m pumped

Which ones did you get?

I’ve taken on homemade bread making during this pandemic.  I’ve pretty much worked my way through Ken Forkish’s book.

Our daughter just confirmed that she would be happy with some duck prosciutto as a birthday present.

Got Forkish’s “Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast.” Also bought “New World Sourdough” by Bryan Ford. 

We bake strictly New Orleans style French Bread and custom hamburger buns for large volume accounts at work. We dabble in ciabatta and other breads when we have time, Only for personal consumption. I figure it’s time I expand my horizons just a little on my own
