    Yep, that’s the place. They had a farm somewhere nearby then sold it and came to southern Alberta to homestead sometime around 1903. Eldest sister was a school teacher and stayed in Montana, later married and settled in Kalispel where she spent the rest of her days.

    I thought this was about the risks and dangers of cannabis. Not about the dialectics of hypocritical tribalism.

    Sorry for your misfortune. Just curious, how many miles does the Honda Pilot have on it? Seems premature for a timing belt to fail if the car was only ~5 years old.

    Ended up not taking it. We really had our hearts set on vandalizing the station but gave up when we realized we had to pay to enter. Also we rented a car.

    Had to look up millenarian. Interesting. I find it hard to believe that something as arbitrary as base 10 mathematics (I suspect 10 fingers... 10 toes is the genesis of that) has anything to do with or effect on world events. And I don't see how another attack is a remotely likely catalyst for that.

    An underlying problem AMZN faces is over saturation. There’s not a lot of room for their shipping platform or entertainment platforms to grow. AWS is pretty well maxed, too. And it’s not worried about the kid in the basement, its challenge is Google. Google is buying up data centers while AWS is leasing… Many of AWS leases are coming due, while Google is purchasing and making offers to purchase the preexisting centers.

    Now it looks like Prasad was just sidelined on the decision (no doubt due to pressure described above), so the leaders of CBER that he had overruled just withdrew his letter in a meeting with Moderna and issued a new letter agreeing to review the original submission. So basically ex post ante. I suspect the White House itself was involved.

    Delicious, easy and you can mix and match herbs of any sort. I've been using Italian parsley and cilantro. Butter-Basted Chicken Breasts By Ali Slagle Published Feb. 27, 2025 Butter-Basted Chicken Breasts Total Time 25 minutes Prep Time 5 minutes Cook Time 20 minutes For juicy, bronzed and flavorful chicken breasts, all it takes is a butter-baste. Spooning hot butter and aromatics over steak is a common technique, but applying that method to lean, quick-cooking proteins like boneless chicken breasts is particularly beneficial because the butter keeps the white meat from drying out while imparting the flavor of whatever ingredients are sizzling in it. Here, that’s garlic and woodsy herbs, but you could also use ground or whole spices or finely chopped ginger or scallions. Serve with rice pilaf or lemon linguine, and a green vegetable like roasted brussels sprouts or stir-fried green beans. Ingredients Yield: 3 to 4 servings 1½ to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts Salt and black pepper 1tablespoon vegetable or canola oil 3tablespoons unsalted butter 4garlic cloves, smashed and peeled 4rosemary, thyme or sage sprigs, or a mix Add ingredients to Grocery List Shop ingredients on Instacart Your first order gets $20 off and free delivery. Instacart terms apply. Ingredient Substitution Guide Nutritional Information Preparation Step 1 Use a meat mallet or heavy skillet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Coat all sides with the oil. Step 2 Heat a large, preferably cast-iron, skillet over medium-high until just smoking. Add the chicken and cook until golden underneath, 3 to 5 minutes. Step 3 Reduce heat to medium-low. Flip the chicken and add the butter, garlic and herbs. When the butter is foaming, tilt the skillet and spoon the melting butter over the chicken until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon the butter onto any pale areas to create an even crust. Step 4 Transfer the chicken to plates and top with all the butter and bits in the skillet. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
