I like your style!

Yeah, some are just not pliable enough. Heating on a skillet or in the microwave. I usually microwave with a damp paper towel, but I went to find you a vid of a nice floppy and pliable tortilla and this guy was doing it in a ziplock and it looks like it came out great without the paper towel and water, so I’m going to try this out myself next time.

(I just watched that other video to the very end where the littlest kids is like eh, I don’t like it and left! 😂 I stopped before that when I sent it to you, I mainly checked to make sure the guy didn’t do anything weird in his recipe or get annoying.)

I usually keep frozen ones (chili cheese) from the store that I toss in the air fryer for lazy lunches.

Otherwise, the fun is you really just roll up whatever you please in a tortilla. I will usually use leftover roast chicken shredded up, corn, rice, black beans, and cheese. Warming the tortilla helps you fold it up without it tearing.

It’s like a sandwich, both in function and construction. They’re dry on the outside and sealed so it’s portable and a self-contained meal. Also like the sandwich, you can use a recipe, but the fun is getting all the ingredients and their proportions toy our exact tastes.

If you do want a basic recipe and to see how everything is assembled, this is a really simple video showing construction of a slightly dressed up bean burrito.

You can also put them in a baking dish, pour enchilada sauce on top, and you have enchiladas instead if you want something saucy.

I’m glad there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Getting away from my family is the second best thing I’ve ever done for myself, after getting my depression treated, which I of course, blame on so many years of not being able to get away from them!

I will support you in spirit as your crispy burrito bro!

Nice. I always like to grill (or air fry) the burrito for a little texture contrast, but everyone else finds it a waste of time.

This sounds a bit more serious than I originally took it as you just wanted some peace and quiet from family. I avoid most of my family, and I see them maybe 2-4 times a year, but this sounds like less of an option for you. It sounds like you’re trying to be the bigger person by showing up with food even though you don’t want to. I wish you the best of whatever your situation is. ♥️

What’s for dinner tonight?

Saturday is a day dedicated to me. I’ve felt not great physically all year, so I’ve been drained from my Mon-Fri job. Saturdays my wife works a 12 hour shift, so I sleep in (the plan is until 8, but it’s been more to 10-11 lately) and the rest of the day is watching movies my wife won’t watch (horror, war, or just plain slow, weird, or subtitled) and practicing piano.

Sunday is dedicated to the animal rehab in the AM and chores in the PM, so that’s why I claim Saturday.

That’s such a shame. I’ve always felt a bit better about it being my introduction, as it didn’t seem terrible going in with no preconceived notion about what it was supposed to be. I could feel lots of cool pieces of an idea, but it never got me hooked on playing. I enjoyed the terminals learning about the world, and the factions were interesting, but none of them were fun or felt like they had too much of a chance to reform the Commonwealth as they were.

After I stopped playing, I still enjoyed watching the lore and the TV show, and some bits of playthroughs since I don’t have anything that will play the other games and I’ve really enjoyed everything Fallout otherwise, so I’m glad I had something to get me interested in the franchise.

Did you go back to the series and play 76? I never learned much about that one as I heard it was even more disappointing and empty at launch, but I’ve heard some story bits since making it sound like they added things eventually, but I’ve never been curious enough to seek it out.

I’m not a very active gamer, and Fallout 4 was the only one I ever played. I got to the end basically, but no faction really seemed like a good choice so I took a break before starting down the final path with anyone. Years later, still haven’t ever gotten around to it.

Love the whole Fallout universe lore though, and I probably watched more hours of gameplay and lore videos on all the games than I spent playing FO4. I at least got that out of giving it a go.

It went open source a bit ago if that may have been a sticking point.

I’ve been on Summit forever now. Very active development, and they’ve added every feature request I’ve had along with many others’. I lose track of all the options it gets anymore.

It looks good, works good, and when it doesn’t, it gets fixed quickly.

I share lots of posts and articles and put them in quote blocks and just bring able to select all text and guy a single button that auto quotes all paragraphs won me over for good, and then multi-communities was the icing on the cake.

If you ever ask what app has feature X, it’s likely already in Summit.

In the sense of “do women deserve equal treatment in society?” 100%!

I idolized my grandmothers as a kid, and they did a better job raising me than my actual parents. Both sides of the family always seemed much more matriarchal to me.

The one time I was ever in charge of anything was at a fairly sexist job and I repeatedly fought to get the ladies’ pay more in line with the guys, I reported a few people to HR for making my staff uncomfortable, and I ensured the one employee got a private lactation area after she had a baby.

Now I volunteer with animal rehab, and that is a field that is about 90% women, and they are all so badass, compassionate, they do every job, and come from every walk of life.

To see all I’ve seen and to not think anyone deserves the same treatment as me because of their gender would be insane. I don’t like labeling myself, because I’m always not going to fit someone’s definition of that thing, they can call me whatever they want, but I like to see whoever is around me getting treated right.

I miss colorful cars.

I bought my 2008 Honda Fit in orange in Jan of 08 and gave it to my niece who turned 16 this spring. I took over my wife’s blue car as she wanted something with AWD. It’s a nice blue, but it’s a lot harder to pick my car out in a lot these days.

At least it is Nardo Gray.

Ooo… Another Iceraven user!

Once Kiwi stopped getting updates, that was the next best thing I found. Fennec was a close second.

It’d be twice as costly with readers on both sides, and the bulk on the inside of my unit is mostly the battery, so you’d either have a much bulkier interior unit or a smaller battery, and if you’re close enough for face/NFC/whatever reader that wouldn’t false positive, you’re likely close enough to just unlock manually.

I was thinking maybe a downward projecting motion sensor so it could see you approach would be small and read an small enough area, but the first time a pet goes to the door, you’re unlocked unintentionally again! 😸

Yup, there are a number of low skill methods of entry for determined parties. Heck, Ive locked myself out before and have jimmied open windows 😅

I’m in a low crime area and grew up seldom locking doors, and I mainly got the smart lock for the wife’s peace of mind knowing that the door is always secure.

I like that LPL is clear there isn’t really a foolproof lock, and that as you said, you can strengthen it or delay it hopefully to the point someone will move to an easier target, but that’s about it.

I have a Tapo (TP-Link) lock, and I can sorta do it a few ways.

I think the issue with what you are wanting (approaching the door and it unlocking for you / geofencing) is that when you are home, your devices’ presence could or would be triggering it often throughout the day. It would either be annoying, constantly killing the battery in the lock, or worst case scenario, you go to check on a sound and approach the door, coincidentally unlocking it for an intruder.

What I can do with my lock is just manually unlock, set a time trigger to lock/unlock, tap a button in the app (which you may be able to put on your home screen?) or I can tell my smart speaker to unlock the door. There’s probably a few other options in forgetting. The main reason I have it is to let us know when the door doesn’t close all the way, to give a handsfree way to unlock when carrying stuff, and I have a trigger where if it’s between sunset and sunrise, it will turn on the indoor light for a set time after the door unlocks so you don’t stumble in blind.

To be fair, what lock has kept him out? If there’s not a tool that works in about 3 seconds, he has one made! 😁

Yay! I’m an exception!

I try to avoid being preachy or political, so I think that helps my case, even for those not much interested in animals, as crazy as that may be.

I post all my posts for the day in a block, so you’ll see me post 3-6 things and be done. It’s just easier for me. I post mainly educational content, so getting the posts out of the way all at once lets me just pop in during my breaks in the day to answer questions.

I don’t think I’m annoying, and if anything, if you don’t like my content, it keeps it in a relatively small range of your feed instead of it popping up multiple times. I figure I will annoy someone no matter what method I do it, so that’s what I’m going to stick with. After 3 years of doing it, you’ve either blocked me or you’re fine with it. 😁
