It’s the little details that make things special 😂

It’s really simple and the results are well worth it. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

I dug through my archives and found my pics of the one I made.

You should try it! I forget where I saw the idea originally, but my ex was very into Halloween, so we made it.

I normally don’t like meatloaf, but the different shape and the crunchy cheese gave it a texture I enjoyed better, so IMO it’s even better in hand form then it is as normal meatloaf!

I mostly agree with you about the looking bad and not tasting good, but I have made the “Meat Hand” before and that was just as good as normal food if you like meatloaf. Just make your recipe of choice but form into a hand shape, top it with a little cheese before baking, and cook on a sheet pan, then transfer into mashed taters. Looks great/horrifying, hard to mess up, and tastes like regular food. Plus ketchup makes “blood.”. Options fingernails are just onion slivers and the wrist is the onion core/center part.

Pic below isn’t mine, but mine came out looking just as good.

Just watched it and did a review in my other comment on this post. It’s not my type of movie, none of the Saws really are, but I thought it was alright and felt like a good addition to the Saw-iverse .

Reporting back, just finished watching the movie.

I’ll start by saying I like horror movies in general, but not really the torture stuff like Saw or The Collection and things like that, hence why I’ve seen Saw 1, 2, and maybe 5 and that’s it.

I do enjoy the basic premise where he only goes after people that have it coming as far as movie victims go, and that he gives them a bit of a chance to survive, especially if they would just stop being assholes for a minute.

This movie felt like what I remember if the early saw movies. I think watching the TS version may have helped a little, reducing the video quality to make it feel even more vintage, but it was fine for my viewing given my overall interest level.

I could recognize the main cast of characters, but even if I didn’t, it fills you in on all you need to know, so it can definitely stand on its own.

The traps did all seem pretty original ish. Since there’s nothing new plot wise here, it’s still you have X minutes to free yourself painfully or you die. As far as are these things you could make yourself from Home Depot parts, maybe one or 2 of them, but they’re still a bit out there, but better than I remember some stuff being in other movies.

Overall, I think if you enjoy this type of movie you should give it a shot. If you don’t like them at all, it’s not going to win you over. It still made be feel queasy and uncomfortable in a not pleasant way. I feel the traps are still pretty unfair and sadistic and are more revengey than teachy, but that’s just me. But if you like the originals and fell off the series somewhere, you can watch this no problem.

Maybe I’ll check this out. I’ve only seen 3 of them, but the back to basics formula makes it sound like it might be ok.

Being able to max my HSA contributions was one of my signs that I finally “made it” in my career. The advantages of HSAs are great for those that don’t need to use them. Same with the required high deductible health plan itself.

Now my job is going away next month, and guess what does me no good then? No health plan, and I can’t contribute that money to the HSA, not that I’ll be getting any money. When I’ll need protection most, it’s not there. If the solution is to help everyone, universal healthcare is the only way to do it.

Once he started doing collabs with Josh Weissman, I think that took it from a bit into something serious. After that, I started seeing a bunch of YouTube cooking channels start using it.

I prefer using things with high glutamate content instead of straight MSG, but I do keep a jar on hand for when food is lacking that something.

You aren’t alone! I got really confused for a second when I saw the community name.

I had a long reply written out, but then it got erased. 😓

I can’t think of anything else it reminds me of, since we haven’t really gotten to the actual plot yet. It’s say watch episode 9, and see if you like that. It gives a sense of the silliness and seriousness we’ve seen so far without killing any previous set up jokes or finishing a fight, but it does have jokes and fights. If you like that episode, start from the beginning and give it a bit to get up to speed.

If you watched Gintama, I know you have the patience to give a show time to figure out what direction it’s going to go.

This is the kind of service government should provide. Would you go to a restaurant where they make you calculate your own bill, and if you calculate sales tax wrong, you get penalized? It’s up to the service provider to say how much you owe.

Helck had been fun for me. Went in blind, and at first thought it was too goofy and random, but the world grew on me once we started to learn about the actual antagonists. Huge fan of Piwi.

Zom 100 I also went into blind. It has really connected with me as in going through a bunch of negative life changes right now, so it’s helping me keep focus on doing things that make me happy. Plus the show is really good!.

Devil is a Part Timer I’m not fully caught up on, but the latest part has been much better than the previous one.

I plan to check out Murder Farce and Link Click at some point too.

Perfectly valid way of doing it. I know a lot of people hate All on Lemmy or Reddit, and I get it. I just like to spend a portion of my time on All to see things that I would never learn about on my own.

I’ve been learning so much about Australia and NZ that I would never learn otherwise and I enjoy that. I’m in the US, so I’d never see local news from there if I stick to subscriptions. Do I want to learn all sorts of things about that? Not especially, but All lets me see what catches my eye. World just has a little too much to make it efficient, and the vibe in general is just more Reddit. Beehaw comes off more friendshipy to me, which also encourages me to participate in talking about things that I may not be as knowledgeable about.

But that’s just what I want for me, everyone else may want something else, but that’s why we have options.

Another fun thing you can do from here is you can use the drum machine on that site to learn things not in there if you’re cool with the sounds.

Go on YouTube and look up things like “beginner drum beats,” “lofi drum beats,” “90s boom bap drum beats” or whatever your taste is and try to recreate them on the drum machine. I was just doing this the other night on my hardware drum machine. It gives your a quick feeling of success to make the kind of thing you want to make, or at least you can relate to. Here is a simple and well explained video I watched and copied all the patterns he showed.

10 Beginner Drum Beats: Go from No to Pro

Certainly! Both helped inspire me along my way learning what I liked or didn’t like. There are so many free and cheap ways to make music right now. There isn’t really anything holding anyone back but time.

Wherever I find myself questioning the Beehaw restrictions, I browse All on lemmy.world. I can read All here with no real regrets. Anywhere else… Ehhhhhh
