Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Has anyone used DV blackberry crumble? I bought it a while back and haven’t tried it yet. Was thinking of trying to come up with a recipe instead of doing an sft.

Not me.

 

[FranC]

Wow, that's insane.

You would be better off going with Prime Video, it costs $8.99 per month. Or just wait until the season is over and then pay $8.99, if that show is all you are interested in.

We don't have Prime Video. My girls want it... and I told them to ante up.
I very rarely buy anything from Amazon, so Prime is not in my future ($139 p/yr or $15 p/mo).

Not really worried about watching it. I have tons of others.

Found it but Amazon wants $29.98 for the season.

It's on Hulu.

It's on Hulu.

Thank you much.

Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?

 

[DLKnives]

Morning all, 61 here in Vegas. I don't have a BBQ or smoker so I'm lobbying the wife to get a Ninja Woodfire Grill. Hope to get it soon.

Good morning. Found myself a patch to put on a jacket or one of my bags.

We got a kamodo joe grill/smoker this summer and we love it.

Morning, mixers.

Can't tell about the air yet, still dark here, but it might be a bit less smokey, as we did get some rain overnight. Or just heavy dew, my gauge says 0.02". More said to be on its way, and it might actually be substantial.

The new Dune movie, part 1, was awesome!!! Dune part 2 will be released 2023 November. Denis Villeneuve (director) has plans for a trilogy by also adapting Herbert's 1969 sequel novel, “Dune Messiah,” into a third film. I'm hopeful the next two do well enough to continue with future releases. Villeneuve has been obsessed with Dune since reading the books as a teenager. We're in very good hands with him at the helm.

ETA: After watching the movie I went and found my Dune books!!! Time to reread them.

Didn't now that about Messiah! But had thought part 2 was to be earlier...

Heck, all the "pre-quels" are good reads, too

I got a call on the way to work from my youngest daughter and her car was stolen overnight. She has only had it back for about a month after she had hit a deer and the body shop had it for 6 weeks. I swear sometimes that my family is cursed. This was after yesterday when a gfci outlet went bad in my kitchen and knocked out three receptacles. Then one of our milk jugs leaked in the fridge. Oh, and the dog got sick this morning and was walking around with her tail down.

Good luck hitt! Sounds like a tough day.

I just read your post about your daughter's car in the shiny thread, @hittman, and wondered if it was the same one that was damaged in the deer collision and then held hostage for weeks. What unbelievably crappy luck. I am sorry.

I’d say you all should have some good luck coming now. Sorry about your daughters car. Hopefully she will get it back undamaged.

Yes, great books. I'm about to start reading them again. I love getting lost in sci-fi.

I started reading sci-fi when I was 8. I broke a leg and my mother picked me up some books from the library, including some sci-fi.

A few years back for some reason I started thinking about a sci-fi book I read many decades ago. Couldn't remember the name of the book or much about it, just a few snippets. In the course of googling for it I found a sci-fi book fan site where you can enter whatever you remember about an old book. A community of sci-fi enthusiasts will get together and figure it out for you. I got a used copy for a few bucks. It was Orbitsville by Bob Shaw, story about a Dyson sphere.

Then I started looking up old sci-fi short stories. That site would get me the name and author. Then I googled them. Some were available as text, others were available as photocopies of books. That was a lot of fun.

I found the Rookie FBI show on Hulu.

Sorry to hear/read. Hopefully, things will get better.

 

[Koolkiz]

I really liked "Claws" but having a hard time watching Niecy Nash in Feds. It doesn't seem real or even good make believe (acting is a bit off). I watched the first episode and tried to watch the second. It's so painful to watch.
