Just vibin. What do yall think of these tracks in modern times?

I still have my account number memorized to this day, not that it will do me any good, but it’s kind of like remembering your childhood phone number, which I also do. Forgive the ignorance on the name badge, pimpin’ was a cool thing at the time and most people in my town were UGK fans.

Recipe (although my Brazilian fiancée says the tomato sauce and paste are unnecessary):

Ingredients
1.5 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium yellow onion, finely diced

3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced

8 oz button or crimini mushrooms, sliced (optional)

1/2 cup tomato paste or tomato sauce

1 tablespoon ketchup

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 to 1.5 cups heavy cream (or traditional Brazilian table cream / creme de leite)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Cooked white rice and crispy potato sticks (batata palha) for serving.

Instructions
Season the chicken: Pat the chicken thigh pieces dry and season them generously with salt and pepper.

Sear the chicken: Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes). Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Sauté aromatics and mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Add the diced onions and garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent. If using mushrooms, add them now and cook until they release their moisture and brown slightly.

Build the sauce base: Stir in the tomato paste, ketchup, and Dijon mustard, mixing well with the onions and mushrooms. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.

Combine: Return the cooked chicken and any accumulated juices back into the skillet, stirring to coat everything in the tomato mixture.

Add the cream: Lower the heat. Stir in the heavy cream gently. Heat the mixture through over low heat, but do not let it boil or the cream may separate. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.

Serve: Spoon the warm chicken stroganoff over a bed of white rice and top generously with crispy potato sticks (batata palha).

I took a (low-pay for the distance, but it was headed towards home from across town) half-assed double order this evening. Offers were mostly trash in my area and it was a sigh of relief to see a $14 order that I first thought was a doubledash that with a super close pickup and a drop off a couple miles from home.

The first order was PetSmart. 63 units, but 60 were live crickets. The whole order was the size of a McDonald’s bag and should’ve been a simple transaction. PS cashier handed it to me and thanked me, the DD app asked me to scan each item. The app rejected every item and you can’t very well scan a nonexistent barcode on a bulk bag of live crickets.

I stayed in the store and contacted support. Stupefying experience explaining the problem and getting to a human, but I got through.

Meanwhile, my second customer started messaging me asking why I was at PetSmart. I offered a legit explanation and even apologized for the delay. She misunderstood me, thinking I meant I’d been at Panda Express, and indirectly called me a liar. Eventually talked down to me making a demand for me to get her food “now!”.

At that point, something broke in me. I’ve done a couple hundred deliveries, and I’ve been the customer for at least the same number of orders if not more. I also saw that her delivery was hand-to-customer with a PIN. We all know the main reason for PINs, so I made my decision.

I stopped responding to her, drove across the way to Panda Express, and contacted support from the store. I don’t want to end up in a judicial situation with a pissed off customer, so I let support know I didn’t feel safe making that delivery. I got partial pay for both orders, and ok girl had to wait a lot longer if she ever even got her food.

Bottom line, it may not be worth it in dollar figures, as I spent an hour dealing with these two bs orders for $8 in the end, but you should report any customer being rude, creepy, or pushy to support.

Light turned green, I pulled off, and got slammed by a work van, hit from the B-pillar to my rear fender. Construction workers from out of state, not a license among them. I don’t know what the other party told the police, but I at least have time-stamped evidence that I had the right of way.

I am so grateful my mom gifted me an economical but functional dash cam, it has more than paid for itself after almost two years of not really “needing” it.

Get a dash cam, period. Doesn’t matter if it’s $20 or $200, as long as it can save clear video and has portable memory. It may save you thousands of dollars one day.

I’ve been enjoying Chiodos since they were scheduled to come to my town in 2003 (I was 16 at the time, old man now), but the tour bus broke down, so I never got to see them live. Ravishing Matt Ruth was in a sampler CD for the venue prior to the planned show, and got my attention.

I rarely even listen to the genres they encompass anymore, but when my life is going to shit, I come back to All’s Well That Ends Well and I feel so much better after. Such a great pile of music and lyrics.

Lying in my bed face-up, this textureless bastard of a spot is just a hair left of center in my field of vision. These few square inches are the only flat spot on my ceiling. Any level of light in the room draws my attention to it.

What are this sub’s hot takes on Un Verano Sin Ti contra Colores? I personally just get more enjoyment from Colores, but I’m curious if it can go deeper than that. I was on Bad Bunny from Krippy Kush as a Farruko fan and followed from there. But the Colores album is what took J Balvin from a casual listen to a 5-star for me.

I didn’t want to spend the money for a desk mount for this TV, so I got some toggle bolts, eye bolts, s-hooks, and chain. My work efficiency will probably be the same, but at least I can see my spreadsheets now 🙄

(EUA) Precisei um extra monitor tão grande para meu trabalho, e eu montei com parafuso basculante? Com olhais, ganchos, e corrente. Não quis gastar dinheiro pra montar na mesa de computador.
