    Mix 2 different instant noodle products, Carbonara Buldak and Neoguri and create a sodium overload saucy cheesy ramen. We only have it max twice a month though because it’s so high in sodium.

    I have personalities with subtle differences depending on the group I’m with in person.

    • My spouse - my truest self, very little to hide and keep to myself.
    • Immediate family - not very personal. My family has never been very openly affectionate growing up.
    • Bandmates - a little more assertive and leader-like.
    • Workmates and strangers - the identity I mostly go with in public. More introverted, less talkative, and very guarded.

  • Why Used EV Deals Will Get Crazy On Jan. 1, 2025

    Some important points in the article:

    • Now, not every 2023 EV will instantly qualify. Used cars also need to be priced under $25,000.

    • Buyers need to meet income caps of $75,000 for an individual, $150,000 for a married couple or $112,500 for a head of household. And the car must be sold by a dealer, not a private party.

    • Meeting all those requirements gets you a credit worth $4,000 or 30% of the vehicle’s price, whichever is less.

    • Importantly, both the new and used EV tax credits are now available as an upfront discount, rather than a tax-time refund.

    I guess I used the wrong term. Not "concern", rather "fear". The risk is relatively low in my neighborhood, it's just a fear I have as someone living in a SFH for the first time. I've lived in dense housing most of my life and I felt more "safe" being in close vicinity to other people.

    They can attempt to get him an ITIN but they have to swear under perjury that he isn’t eligible for an SSN in the application with the IRS. Obviously this sovcit parent will do that if they could. I don’t think they will immediately feel any consequences, but that will definitely mess up their son’s retirement benefits.

    If I absolutely have to, yes. If I don't need to, I avoid it and prefer to mind my own business. For example, I sometimes attend some happy hour events for people in my field of work. Obviously you have to have some small talk, but I usually only engage if someone strikes a conversation. If not, then I'm happy just eating and drinking while watching whatever is on the bar tv. If I'm attending a show, concert, or game, I don't strike a conversation with strangers at all.

    Yes and no. Yes it’s based on actual source material, no because the source material is part of the extended universe that the original author’s son has written. His books are a mixed bag and die-hard Dune fans generally do not consider them canon. I’m still looking forward to it as a Dune fan though, and I hope it turns out good.

  • This needs to be explained a bit, so here's my problem: * I use Focus for sleeping. I manually enable it when I go to bed and disable it when I wake up. * My Focus setting disables notifications for email, calendar, and some messaging apps. * My security camera app notifications are not disabled, obviously because I want to be alerted if something triggers it in the middle of the night. * However, there is a certain time in the morning between 7:30AM and 8AM where people walking on the sidewalk triggers alerts that wake me up. And no, I want to avoid not pointing my cameras away from that part of the sidewalk because it helps me catch people letting their pets pee and poop on my yard. * I usually wake up at 8AM and getting woken up 30 minutes earlier is annoying. * I am willing to accept the risk of not getting notifications from my cameras on my phone for 30 minutes before I wake up. What is the most practical way to disable notifications from an app on a scheduled time duration while Focus is already in use? Schedule it in Health? Create a shortcut/automation?

    How to choose mutual funds to invest in

    I've been on an HSA+HDHP for a couple of years now and only realized recently the interest earned from investing HSA money is also tax free, so I want to start investing a part of my savings and see how it goes. I have 2 options, Betterment or Mutual Funds. I figured I'd try the latter to avoid fees, but I'm not sure which funds to choose. My HSA currently provides 30 fund options. I see people mentioning Vanguard a lot so I spread out my initial investment into 25% chunks across 4 different Vanguard funds. How did I choose them? Well I literally just looked at the performance graphs and selected the ones that historically went up steadily without major dips. As a total noob, how can I improve my choices? Is there a simple way to decide without having to dive deep into the stock market?

    Since there was some curiosity about what a sushi-bake is, here's my own recipe for it. Sushi-bake is basically a "deconstructed" sushi roll where the ingredients are layered instead of rolled then baked in the oven. There are different variations of how it's made, so this is my take on it. Apologies if I don't have exact measurements of portions, as I just wing it and base it on the taste. Ingredients: * Sushi rice (regular white rice is fine if you don't have sushi rice, but add a bit more water when cooking to make it more moist). * Rice vinegar. * Any protein of your choice like crabstick, tuna, or salmon; shredded. * Fruit/vegetable. Cucumber, mango, avocado, or any other ingredients you'd like to add to your sushi; sliced and cubed. * Japanese mayo (i.e. kewpie). * Sriracha. In my case, I used a gochujang-based hot sauce with truffle oil. * Furikake. * Sesame oil (optional). * Sugar/sweetener (optional). * Mozarella cheese (optional). Recipe: 1. Cook sushi rice as directed. 2. Mix your protein, veggies, and fruit in a bowl with Japanese mayo and sriracha. 3. Mix the cooked sushi rice with a few tablespoons of rice vinegar and a bit of sugar (optional). I personally don’t put sugar because I find the rice vinegar enough for flavor. 4. Line a baking pan with foil. You can also do without, I'm just lazy with washing. 5. Grease the pan with a little sesame oil. 6. Add a base layer of sushi rice on the baking pan and flatten it thoroughly. 7. Add a layer of your protein/veggie/fruit mix on top of the rice. 8. Sprinkle a layer of furikake. 9. Optional: Since I like to put cheese on everything, add a layer of shredded mozarella. 10. For aesthetic purposes, draw alternating diagonal lines of mayo and sriracha, and top it off with another sprinkling of furikake. 11. Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes. To eat, slice it into square bites. You can eat it as is with chopsticks or a fork/spoon, or use Nori to scoop it up.

    Not sure if I'm just not looking at the right places, but did anyone else notice that there's a lack of video content released from this year's all-star weekend? I remember from previous all-star events there were a ton of videos of players interacting on the court and locker room, as well as behind-the-scenes videos. The all-star practice was also officially televised. This time around most of the interesting content I've seen are from people in the arena taking videos from their phones, not official ones.

    I had the opportunity to see the first 10 minutes of Part 1 in an advanced teaser back then. I wish they also did the same this time around, as this seems to be an exclusive event instead of opening it to a limited number of audiences from the public.
