While I have a few in the medium, and very hot categories, what I really use a lot of is a relatively mild green sauce. I like to be able to add a lot flavor without making something crazy hot. I used to use Tabasco green, later upgraded to Cholula green, but my favorite these days is Callahan’s Poblano green chili sauce. The Bronx Greenmarket is really good too.

blackbrook@mander.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the worst "corporate speak/buzzwords" that you absolutely hate?4·4 days agoWhat I don’t understand is why so many people start using the object form of a pronoun as a subject the minute there is an “and”. “Me and her went to the store.”
(I know this is the opposite of the pretentious overcompensation of using “I” as an object you’re likely to see in a corporate meeting. But why?)

blackbrook@mander.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the worst "corporate speak/buzzwords" that you absolutely hate?1·4 days agoI always want to do things by email instead of a meeting, but have to admit the meeting is often necessary. Of course it wouldn’t be if people could actually read and comprehend a detailed email and if they could also actually communicate information into writing without expecting you to be their minds enough to make sense of the incomplete vague phases they hurriedly type.

Glad to hear the dryer vent is being changed, that actually worried me most. It’s wasn’t the sag, but the extra length, the sharp bends, and the duct material.
It’s not the pipes I meant, but the flexible hookup hoses. They make metal ones, and I’ve been told they are more reliable then the rubber (vinyl?) ones that these appear to be.
Not a plumber but, I have to ask. …
The black snakey pipe that does a loop is the drain line? And the washer drains into it from far below against gravity through that thin flexible hose? And it is held on with a hose clamp at the end? I’m no expert, but I wonder about those things…
The hot and cold inlet lines also, I’ve been told always fail eventually and that you should use the metal ones instead.
And is that silver ducting the drier vent? If so, that’s a problem too.
Well I use like two qtips after every shower.
Finally! A solution the problem that qtips are so inexpensive!

I think we once put a plastic laundry basket, upside down, over him as a joke. He started kind of lifting up one corner with his nose q and sliding it across the room. We thought he was trying to get out and felt bad, so lifted it up to let him out, but he just looked at us like “stop spoiling the game!”
This cat also liked to play tag similar to what a couple other comments here described.
solitaire. download the PySolFC app, it has a ton of variations.
