INGREDIENTS:

4 hamburger buns, split

1 head green leaf lettuce, leaves separated

1 beefsteak tomato, sliced

20 dill pickle slices

FOR THE CHICKEN

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup dill pickle juice

1 ½ cups milk, divided

1 cup peanut oil

1 large egg

½ cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Place a chicken breast on a cutting board. With your hand flat on top of it, carefully slice the chicken in half horizontally. Trim excess fat as needed.

In a large shallow baking dish, combine chicken, pickle juice and ½ cup milk; marinate for at least 30 minutes. Drain well.

Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

In another large shallow baking dish, whisk together remaining 1 cup milk and egg. Stir in chicken to coat and drain excess milk mixture.

In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken, flour and confectioners’ sugar; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Here also is a link for their famed sauce. Gonna start making it myself.

Dr. Nikola Tesla did not sign bad contracts. He signed an excellent contract with Westinghouse to bring AC power to America. Westinghouse was the big competitor against Edison Electric, which ran DC power. Thomas Edison was a massive prick and Edison Electric went around doing its best to convince everyone that AC power was dangerous, most infamously by electrocuting an elephant to death and developing the first execution-style electric chair using AC power. All of this cemented in the mind of the public that AC power was dangerous and deadly, while DC power was somehow safer.

By 1890, Westinghouse was in trouble. George Westinghouse went to Tesla and laid out the truth: if he honored the royalty contracts that he’d agreed to pay Tesla, he would go bankrupt. So Tesla tore up the contracts. He walked away from millions, maybe billions of dollars because he believed that wireless electricity should be free to the world. Westinghouse went on to bring AC power to homes across America.

Someone: Hey, are you there? I was just wondering if you’d like to-

Me:

It's called a credit card.

And then this:

You're basically using other people's rent to pay your rent on the property. "But I have to pay a mortgage!" Why did you buy seven homes? Why did you buy seven fucking homes that a family looking to buy, to LIVE IN, could have bought?

Comments section is like 'well if you want a home bad enough, just buy one. Oh wait. They probably have bad credit.' Fuckin no, dipshit! Fuckin Lucas up there is buying up all the real estate. Cant even tour a house with good credit because you blink and it's off the market.

Why do you need seven homes, Lucas?

There is an example of a decent landlord in the article. She runs several apartment buildings and she organizes social gatherings, education programs, tries to help tenants that are struggling. Great. Good for her.

My last apartment caught on fire because the property manager said that the burner on the stove not working wasn't a problem. In early 2010s, I paid 360 for an apartment with a hole in the roof and a heater that had two settings.

All this talk about terrible landlords in my area comes because of a negligent landlord that didnt pay any fucking attention to service calls and just collected his paycheck every month finally was labeled a public nuisance. (Some very gross details in that link.)

"We're not all bad people" but the average cost of a studio apartment in columbus is $700 and the minimum wage isn't even nine whole dollars and you still require 2/3 of that to be your biweekly paycheck to even apply. Yall wouldnt be rushing to evict people when the moratorium ended. You wouldnt deny housing to sex workers.

Landlords need to be fucking regulated, the minimum wage needs to go up, or both.

George Orwell, whom I’ve dragged forward in time with my arcane powers because I’m lonely and want someone to talk to: You have a telephone in your pocket?  It listens to you all the time?

Me: Never mind about that, the point is, young people now mock each other by sending the wheelchair emoji - that’s a type of electronic heiroglyph - to suggest mental deficiency and shout SPESHUL!!!! while doing offensive imitations of disabled facial expressions and posture.  So any attempt to lexographically make crimethink impossible is pretty much doomed because the meaning of words in everyday conversation can’t be controlled by a dictionary entry, no matter how many Ministry of Truth employees-

I guess part of me always knew that, because his scar does look a lot like a handprint:

But still, whenever I thought about the agni kai, I’d imagine Ozai standing over his thirteen-year-old son and firing haphazardly like:

But no, I think he brings his hand right up to Zuko’s face. 

Which would explain, you know, this:

At first, I thought that he backhanded Zuko, like Azula does here.

But when I looked up these photos, it hit me (no pun intended) that we’ve probably seen the exact move that Ozai made:

Just at a different angle, because I imagine that he was standing over Zuko, due to the whole symbolism of height differences.

Still, I think he slowly brought his fire-encased hand up to Zuko’s face and held it there, burning him, just like he was about to do with Aang. The difference being that Aang is able to deflect the attack:

Which he was able to do, because he learned from Zuko.
