"We can either pay the rent or buy groceries this month." That was what my husband told me in June, and we still need at least one more week before we can shop, as rent will leave us sitting on a solid twenty-five bucks for July, and we're running out of food - fast. XD So since I had today off and had just watched a bunch of Cutthroat Kitchen and Chopped and Cupcake Wars and whatnot, I decided to see what I could whip up to help out. Firstly, easy bread with no yeast: View attachment 47488 Mix three cups of flour, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, and a teaspoon of salt into a bowl. Add a cup and a half of water (or milk would be better, if you have enough, lol) and a half cup of vegetable oil or olive oil or melted butter (I had Canola oil so there ya go) XD Mix it all together until you have the dough, put it in a bread pan, and bake it for 40 minutes at 400 Degrees, and there you go! Easy homemade bread for if you have no yeast. XD Now on to the next thing! Rice gruel, for quick breakfasts in the morning. XD View attachment 47489 I don't have any large pots, so I used three smaller saucepans. In each one, I cooked half a cup of rice in four cups of water for forty minutes until it reached this runny oatmeal type texture. (I have used this recipe before with three cups water one cup milk, and it's better, but this is easier if you're low on milk) Then I mixed all three pots into a large bowl, and I added around two tablespoons of butter, four tablespoons of sugar, about a tablespoon of honey, and then sprinkled cinnamon on top. I mixed it all together and stuck it in the fridge, so I can just get up in the morning, microwave a helping of gruel, and eat. (I might try it cold just to see how it tastes, lol) Now then, looking around my kitchen, I saw that I had four potatoes, a pound of ground beef, and an onion that I needed to use soon or risk having them go bad. So I present: Mashed Potato Pie! View attachment 47490 First things first, the crust: I used three cups of flour, a tablespoon of salt, a cup of vegetable oil, and two liquid ounces of milk. Mix it all together and press it into a round cake pan (or pretty much any deep dish casserole pan). Then, peel and chop the four potatoes, fill the pot with water, and set it on to boil. Cook the pound of ground beef in a pan with a liberal seasoning of garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Drain the grease and set aside. Mince about half an onion and saute it in butter, and add it to the beef. I had a random packet of instant beef gravy mix, so I cooked that up and mixed it into the beef. I also had a bag of frozen corn, poured about half a cup into a bowl and microwaved it for a couple minutes, and added that to the beef as well. By this time, the potatoes were mostly cooked, but still firm. I drained the water and poured probably a little less than half of the potatoes into the beef mix, then stirred it all in until the potatoes were evenly coated with the gravy. Pour the beef/potato mix over the pie crust, and bake at 400 for about twenty minutes. Meanwhile, add more water to the rest of the potatoes and put it back on to boil until they're soft. Drain the water and put them in a medium sized bowl. Add a large spoonful of butter (or a small spoonful of butter and about half a cup of milk, if, again, you have enough milk lol) and mash it all up together until there are no more lumps. Pull the pie out of the oven after its allotted time, and spoon the mashed potatoes on top of the beef mixture. Put the pie back in for ten minutes at 350 degrees, and then voila! A Mashed Potato Pie of sorts. XD View attachment 47491 I feel proud of myself. XD

Because most remote controls work using near infrared technology. When a button is pushed, the light emits pulses that are then decoded by the receiving device. When the batteries are low, the pulses would be weaker. We press the buttons harder (and hold them down longer) in an attempt to make more power go to the light and increase the emissions. Because the job of a bank is to be the middle man between you and the person you're trying to pay. When you try to withdraw money that isn't there, the bank has to work out what to do. Some of the tasks bankers take on is examining all the Overdrafts made in a day, reviewing the policies of the account holders, and deciding whether to deny the transaction or let it go through and expect you to pay them back for settling your debt. If they deny the transaction, they're withholding the money you agreed to pay from the recipient, (at which point you, the intended recipient, and the bank begin getting into legal issues) while if your policy has overdraft protection, they pay the money themselves on the condition you pay them back shortly. An Overdraft Fee is their way to compensate themselves for the extra work caused by an attempted exchange of money that isn't there. Yes, it's dumb that the charge is applied to an already overdrawn account, but how else are they supposed to collect said money? And yes, it's dumb that the fee is as high as it is, but as has been said already, banks are greedy. XD Because A. everyone knows the universe is endless and there are over four billion stars within it, while the state of drying paint is far more fluctuating and the status changes rapidly. B. Humans have the capacity to be either lying or wrong, and therefore mistrust and suspicion are deeply rooted into our natures. This mixed with a need for some degree of control in our lives causes people to have a subconscious urge to check and see that yes, indeed, the paint is still wet. It hasn't changed since the last time you checked, you aren't lying, and you aren't wrong. Because even though the victim is already going to die, there is some level of professionalism and sanitation involved in every aspect of the process. Also because people other than the victim are going to be handling said needle. With all the precautions they take to avoid collateral harm, sterile needles would be one of them. Also: Spoiler Some people actually can't grow beards. XD I know someone who's been trying to grow a beard for years and years and barely has a thin goatee and a mustache. His hair's around Tarzan's length, though. It might be that Tarzan's like that. XD Because the amount of reaction time is different. People have more time to react to a thrown object than to a bullet, and people are psychologically conditioned to react certain ways to certain events. Even if you're invincible, there's still a chance your brain will see an incoming object and send the signal to duck, subconsciously, while if you're staring at a gun and you have time to prepare yourself for it to be fired, knowing it can't hurt you, and then no time to react once it is fired, you don't duck. Because A. It's already been said that a kamikaze pilot might run into trouble on the way to their mission, and a helmet reduces the risk of head injury on the way. But B, helmets also play an important role in noise attenuation, mics and headphones are usually mounted into the helmet, many helmets contain a sun-visor so the pilot doesn't have to worry about glaring light, and some modern helmets even have a mounted display and night vision support. Because 'Lisp' is derived from the Old English wlispian (recorded in āwlyspian), from wlisp (adjective) 'lisping', of imitative origin; compare with Dutch lispen and German lispeln. Middle English Dictionary offers two citations in which 'lyspynge' is glossed blesus or blesura, which is clearly cognate with 'wlisp.' According to Lewis & Short, blaesus means "lisping, stammering, hesitating in utterance, speaking indistinctly." Blaesus is there derived from Greek βλαισός, which the "Greek Word Study Tool" at Perseus defines as meaning 'bent or distorted.' Therefore, the etymology of 'lisp' seems to lean towards simply meaning 'distorted,' as in a distorted form of speech. Because I believe the theory is that people branched off from apes, evolving into a new species while the original species continued to exist as-is. A much simpler form of evolution that can be used as an example is the evolving of dog-breeds from other dog-breeds. Just because labradoodles exist doesn't necessarily mean labradors and poodles must therefore cease to exist. Or that's the theory, anyway. XD Because the 'bubbles' are merely surfactant foam. Surfactants are usually organic compounds that are amphiphilic, meaning they contain both hydrophobic groups and hydrophilic groups. Therefore, a surfactant contains both a water-insoluble (or oil-soluble) component and a water-soluble component. Surfactants will diffuse in water and adsorb at interfaces between air and water or at the interface between oil and water, in the case where water is mixed with oil. The water-insoluble hydrophobic group may extend out of the bulk water phase, into the air or into the oil phase, while the water-soluble head group remains in the water phase. 'Bubbles.' Since it's a chemical reaction, the color of the flakes or beads or even gels and powders used to contain the surfactants doesn't matter. It's just a form that the surfactant is presented in, to hold the chemicals until released in the water, and the color of the foam is unrelated. Considering that most mattresses last a good ten years before needing to be replaced, mattress stores need to take advantage of any chance of selling their wares that comes along. By having sales often, they can convince people to buy their mattresses instead of competitors, and also because if your mattress is getting old, but you still have a good year or two left before you need it replaced, you may be more likely to replace it early if you think you're getting a good deal. So if you buy a new mattress every seven years instead of ten, you're buying more mattresses. Also: Spoiler This commercial ran a mattress store out of business in record time: The reason people return to a refrigerator after having dismissed the contents before is not out of a belief that new things have materialized, but because as you get hungrier, more of what you have looks appetizing. Sometimes you go to the fridge and don't see anything instant or pre-made, like leftover pizza or frozen burritos, and so dismiss it as empty, only to wonder if you might have enough ingredients to cook something later on. Therefore, you return to the fridge. Or maybe you dismiss the jar of pickles upon your first investigation, only to decide ten minutes later that you might want a pickle after all. I have never seen a person do this. XD I was trained to never vacuum a piece of string in the first place, at least, not with a traditional vacuum, as it can entangle in the spinners and cause the vacuum to stick. If I'm running a traditional vacuum and I see a piece of string, I pick it up and throw it away by hand. If you're using a hose vacuum and it fails to pick up string, than your hose is clogged or your vacuum is full, and you need to clear it or you'll have no suction. XD Because plastic bags are made by 'blown film extrusion.' In Blown film production process - polythene melt is extruded through an annular slit die, usually vertically, to form a thin walled tube. Air is introduced via a hole in the centre of the die to blow up the tube like a balloon, into the tube, causing it to expand and form a bubble. Mounted on top of the die, a high-speed air ring blows onto the hot film to cool it. The tube of film then continues upwards, continually cooling, until it passes through nip rolls where the tube is flattened to create what is known as a ' lay-flat' tube of film. This lay-flat or collapsed tube is then taken back down the extrusion ' tower' via more rollers. The tube of film is made into bags by sealing across the width of film and cutting or perforating to make each bag. Since they're lying flat, with no air-bubbles, when they're sealed and perforated, and then packaged together in that state and stored that way until use, the surface-on-surface-adhesion makes them stick together until air is introduced between the two sheets, which is also why people wave the bags in the air a few times after getting the ends opened, before you ask. XD Because bugs are stupid; they tend to crawl into tight places to get what they want, and then after they've got it, they try to fly out. This is the idea behind most wasp-traps as well. You put something sweet into a cylinder with a narrow opening. The wasp lands on the cylinder, crawls inside, takes what it wants, and then tries again and again and again to fly out through the narrow opening until it dies. The light fixtures have small openings, the bugs crawl inside, and it's the same for them, if they don't die from the lightbulbs first. XD The reaction of any given person when their ankle is rammed with a shopping cart varies person by person. XD The reason some people say 'it's alright' is because in most cases, the person ramming you with the cart did it on accident and usually feel guilty or embarrassed. Occasionally, the person who was hit with the cart is empathetic or sympathetic, and will assure the offender that it's alright to spare them further guilt or embarrassment. Sometimes it's also passive-aggressive, and the person only says "it's alright" while their body language suggests otherwise, in an attempt to cause further guilt or embarrassment. Sometimes people say 'it's alright' because it doesn't really matter and they'll have forgotten about it in ten minutes. Sometimes people only say it because social behavior dictates that you verbally forgive people who apologize for their actions. Either because of a lack of hand-eye coordination, a lack of response time, or both. When something is falling, you have to subconsciously perceive the angle and speed at which it falls, predict how fast you will be able to move, and determine the precise location you should reach for in order to catch it. Some of us are very good at this, and I usually catch whatever is falling and don't knock things over on the way. Except when I'm not wearing my glasses, because that throws off my hand-eye coordination, as one of my eyes drifts to the side and my perception is off. This makes it so I have the tendency to misjudge distances, and will do things like bump into doorframes when walking through a door, trip over things I thought were slightly more to the left, or, of course, knock something over when attempting to catch the falling item next to it. Because some humans lack the concept of 'balance.' XD When we feel too hot, we attempt to feel cooler, and oftentimes go to the extreme and make it too cold, and vice versa. Like when someone gets into a freezing car and turn the heat all the way on or when they enter a hot house and turn the AC on to blast. Part of it is a mistaken belief that doing this will change the temperature faster, when in reality, it will change at the same rate of time, only will continue to change after the desired temperature is achieved. So the person isn't really trying to reach the same temperature in winter as was too hot in summer, they're trying to be comfortable faster and failing miserably. XD Your favorite question isn't a question and that bugs me. XD If one out of four people are insane, it doesn't follow that one of your group of four must be insane. It could be that each member of the group of friends happens to be in a separate group of four and they happen to be one of the sane ones, leaving four sane members in your group. I am one of four sisters. If I was one of four friends, who each were one of four siblings, it's possible that all four of us are one of the sane members in our group. It's also possible that all four of us happen to be the insane, in which case, our group of friends would be four out of four insane friends. Also, yesterday my sister told me that I'm probably the most sane of the four of us, because she and another sister have major anxiety and the third sister has literally every sign of being a sociopath, so... Yeah. XD My question is, why on earth did I actually do any of this. XD
[x] Try to look inside
"Yeah, yeah, let's be careful," Matthew nodded in agreement, still feeling a little dazed over everything that had happened, glancing down at the claw gauntlet in concern as he made his way over to Chaol. "Maybe - maybe you guys should stay in your weapon forms," he said to Mikio and to Hannah in Chaol's hands. "Just in case. While we head back to the Academy... Gosh, that paper woman thing was weird. Um... Let's go." The group hurried back to the Academy as quickly as they could, which wasn't really all the quickly, having to get to the place from Texas. By the time they got to the city, Matthew was feeling a bit better about everything that had happened, but was resolved to train much harder before their next mission. If that paper woman hadn't shown up when she did... He shuddered. The trip home had been very quiet, apparently the others had been feeling about the same way he did, so they hadn't felt much up for talking on the way home. It was weird. Silence was weird, Matthew didn't like silence. When people were all quiet like this, it meant something was wrong, and he couldn't fix it... He blinked, his thoughts interrupted, when they approached the school and there was some sort of barrier there. A very small crowd of students seemed to have gathered by the entrance, where Professor Stein was standing. "What happened!?" Matthew called, running forward to join them. Roderick, who had been with Zephyr, turned to see a blonde kid in glasses and a red suit jacket run up, asking what happened. "I don't know," he said. "We just got here ourselves. Got called back in the middle of a mission... or, lesson, I guess."
[x] Find Nate
"...What the-!?" Matthew gaped around the now-empty room, his heart pounding. All the villains were dead now... And they were all still alive. But heavens... "She just- she just showed up! And then she was on fire, and there were papers flying everywhere! And she totally killed them all and now she's gone! What just happened!? Is everyone okay? Mikio? You- you okay?" "Something big must have happened," Roderick noted, looking around in surprise after the Zombie disappeared. "We'd better get back fast. You okay to walk, Zephyr?" He asked, glancing down at Zephyr's leg in concern.
I eat Dominos when I want salad or pasta, and Pizza Hut when I want wings. The pizza itself depends on what I eat with it XD Therefore I cannot break the tie. XD
...A trap door? Well, maybe... I mean, it was possible, but Roderick wasn't sure that seemed plausible. Then again, he was physically capable of turning into a katana, in a world where he went to a school headed by Death himself and his teacher had a screw in his head, while the sun and moon had faces and zombies roamed the earth, so... Anything was possible. "I'll check under the bed," he said, getting down on all fours and examining the space under the bed. "Someone look in the closet," he called out over his shoulder. Why was there a closet and a wardrobe? That was strange...
