Hasselbeck Potatoes for freezing
So I used to get these smaller Hasselbeck Potatoes frozen in bags from wild fork. But they stopped carrying them.
In order for me to have multiple batches vacuum sealed in the freezer I can air fry on demand I'm trying to make my own.
So I just bought bought smaller Yukon gold potatoes and then sliced them leaving about a 1/4" at bottom, rinsed them. Then I parboiled them for 10 minutes.
Then put oil and herbs and left them on a wire rack in the freezer, later on I will bag up and vaccum seal then freeze in batches of 5.
Then in the future when I need some potatoes for a side with meat I'll just pop a bag in the air fryer.
Any suggestions for improvement or mistakes?

Tsukune (Chicken Meatballs)
This is a quick video I took today at a Japanese restaurant I discovered in Sarasota a while back. I think I have tried 80% of their skewers at this point. The Tsukune(Chicken Meatballs) are the best tasting of the items on their skewers menu.

Rah Band - Messages from the Stars - Major Influence?
I feel like this song must be a major influence on Jamiroquai's sound and possibly even style.
It's so space funky, reminds me a lot of the.

Gboard Voice Recognition poor after upgrade
My phone updated to Samsung S24 FE OneUI 8.5 a few days ago.
Since then my voice recognition with Gboard has gotten really bad. It seems like if talk very staccato and slowly it works ok, but so not very good, but that is a very un-natural way to talk. Before the update the voice recognition worked fine.
Android version 16
I tried using the Samsung keyboard instead, and subsequently the Samsung voice recognition, but the keyboard layout is a bit different for me and throws me off.
I tried a number of steps to try and get the voice recognition to back where it was before.
• Cleared the Gboard Cache, restarted phone
• under Voice input, confirmed that Google Voice Typing is selected as primary
• In Voice Typing turned Faster voice typing OFF.
• disable the microphone permissions for gboard temporarily, and then re-enabled it after 5 minutes
Does anybody have another suggestions on how to get the voice recognition software back to where it was before the OS upgrade?
Evil Island (mems Blood Brothers, OFF!) announce debut LP ft. Fugazi's Guy Picciotto, share "Animal"
On how he came to contribute to the album, Picciotto says:
"Last November I got a text from Cody Votolato checking in and asking to talk on the phone. I had worked as a producer with Cody and his Blood Brothers compatriots on their last album Young Machetes and those guys had become some of the dearest people in the world to me. The experience of making that record was such a blast – both hilarious in terms of humor and hi-jinx but also hugely revitalizing to me in terms of getting to watch their musicality, their creativity and their camaraderie up close.
I had been blown away by their reunion shows the year before and had thought they were even better than ever so I was expecting Cody to maybe drop news of more shows in the offing. I certainly wasn’t expecting him to drop the bomb that he, Johnny and Mark had formed a new band with Autry and that they were already fully in deep tracking an album with Ross Robinson back in the producer saddle with them. I was even more surprised when Cody asked if I would be up for singing back-ups on one of the tracks. Given that my general attitude vis-a-vis the Blood Brothers is that I would take a bullet for any of them, I felt like I had to at least give it a shot despite not having sung on a recording since the last Fugazi album THE ARGUMENT."
Ladder for Tall
How many times a day do I have to hear the comment from strangers, "you don't even need a ladder?!"
Local legend Uncle Lou has been taken by ICE on an immigration hold. Anna Eskimani posted about it earlier today.
A retired Air Force major general walks out of his Albuquerque home in 2026 and vanishes with a revolver. But William Neil McCaslind wasn’t just anyone. He once commanded the Air Force Research Laboratory and carried deep knowledge of America’s most advanced defense systems. His disappearance soon becomes part of a much darker pattern online. From Los Alamos to NASA JPL to Caltech, nuclear scientists and defense experts seem to have been erased from the grid. Is someone quietly removing high-value scientific minds from the board? Are brilliant people cracking under unbearable pressure? Or could this be a pattern of our own design?
