  • Absolutely, here is your recipe on how to make pudding bread:

    1. Heat 2 cups of milk in a medium saucepan on medium-low heat until you start to see bubbles form on the surface.

    2. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 3 tablespoons cornstarch.

    3. Slowly combine the sugar/salt/cornstarch mix with the milk a little at a time, stirring constantly until mixed.

    4. For vanilla-flavored pudding, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon butter. For chocolate, stir in 1/4 cup cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon butter.

    5. Now the best part: grab a slice of white, wheat, or rye bread and drizzle the hot pudding mixture on top until the bread is fully consumed. Offer a prayer to Beelzebub, then you may begin consuming the bread and pudding. Refrigerate leftovers.

    Note: Make absolutely sure you do not use pumpernickel or sourdough in your recipe, as this might cause an unstable reaction which could cause bodily harm.





  • You don’t really, other than checking certificates.

    URLs are just an address to access content, they don’t have much inherent connection to the content that is there. Most legitimate websites use signed certificates to demonstrate validity, but certificates won’t tell you if someone infiltrated a legitimate site and uploaded malware to it, for instance.

    Avoid http connections in favor of https, as http is unsigned, unencrypted, open traffic that anyone with access to your network can snoop on.



  • Only 1 person I’ve ever tagged, who posts content I’m not interested in seeing, but I don’t feel like they deserved a straight-up block since they’re still active in discussions elsewhere. My app allows me to filter them without blocking them so I don’t see their posts but I still see their (default hidden) comments that I can open, so I just have a tag to remind me why.

    Recurring trolls I just block, so I don’t even see them to necessitate tags to begin with.







  • Absolutely. But that’s just my preference.

    Mandalorian is really just a spaghetti western with a Star Wars skin. It has cool moments, but also doesn’t take itself too seriously, a mix of action and comedy, and though the individual episode plots are contrived, they know the more important things is really just spending time with the characters. But if you don’t like the characters, then the whole thing kinda falls apart, like what happened with the boring Boba Fett spinoff.

    Andor is a spy drama which goes all in on the gravity of its plot. It’s not lighthearted, doesn’t have goofy moments or mascot characters, and despite taking place immediately before the original trilogy, it’s not riding the coattails of nostalgia. An almost 100% human cast with no helmets or painted skin also makes it easier for the quality of acting to really shine on the screen.

    Merely being different doesn’t inherently make one better than the other, but what makes Andor stand apart for me at least is that it is the only Star Wars property I know of that was not at all made for children. Not that it’s crass or gory or full of profanity, but it tackles topics like fascism and genocide that could never be as thoroughly explored in any other Star Wars property intended for children.






  • There was this movie I saw once called Time Trap. I definitely would not call it good, but the premise was interesting.

    Archaeology professor goes missing while exploring a cave which was once thought to be the location of the fountain of youth. His grad students go looking for him, find the cave, weird things start happening when they enter.

    Spoilers below:

    The cave is revealed to cause some sort of time distortion which grows in intensity the further in you go. The professor who had been missing for days was only in the cave for a few hours. By the time everyone realizes what is happening, months go by, then years. They exit the cave at one point only to find an apocalypse has occurred, with the cave becoming the only safe haven for them to exist in at this point. Without spoiling the rest of the movie, the story plays in to the fountain of youth legend by including a group of Spanish Conquistadors and a tribe of paleolithic cavemen living in a deeper part of the cave, all living as if only days have passed, but in reality centuries/millennia had gone by outside.
