Writing thank you cards and letters.

Here are some recipes I have made in the past from food pantry items. Don’t look down at food pantries and don’t wait till your homeless or in debt to get some help.

Quick Beans

2 cans beans (black or pinto work) 4 tablespoons tomato sauce 2tsp cumin 1tsp onion powder 2 tsp oregano salt /pepper to taste 1/2c chicken broth

Mix them all together in a pot. Bring to a simmer then down to a low simmer until the beans soften and the sauce thickens. If the sauce thickens before the beans soften up, add a bit of water(or more broth if you have it)

If you have an** air fryer crispy potatoes** Wash and quarter small potatoes( these usually cost less per pound. I get about 10 pounds for $3-4) drop in boiling water until the outside is slightly soft but the core will still be solid (test with a fork) Drain the potatoes and put in a bowl, toss with salt untill the outside gets fuzzy, Add some kind of oil (or melted fat if you have leftover from cooking) and toss more

put in the air fryer for about 15-20 minutes at 375

He’s completely out of touch. I do buy his justification, but that still makes him responsible. He has an amount of power, however small, that none of us do to at least curtail some of what is happening. Failure to use that is support of fascism. He needs to go since he doesn’t understand that.

2 GTA games landed on it. Think of how long that is. It was out for 11 years, nearly forever in console time. A literal generation of time passed.

So it’s in the perfect buy it now phase. Like when goodwill would have 4-5 Snes on the shelf and a shopping bag of games for $20

Checking on this the HDMI can be converted to HD-SDI which is a digital signal. The BVM internal DAC’s are reported to be better than what game systems came with. However I’m not sure if it is worth the cost /effort.

It’s just that I have one, so in this case I wouldn’t have to drop ??? $$ to get a different retro system and a game. It also plays PS1 games so that opens things up a bit.

The last of the CRTs were 720/1080i. I didn’t have one but for HDDVD/ BD disks it was killer to watch compared to an LCD. Plasma was a very deep pocket purchase, even for someone who could afford an early PS3/Xbox 360 HDDVD.

Thanks. I had a working xbox 360 gifted from a friend the RROD on the first disk of Mass Effect 2

It launched in 2006. A 40" was still more than $1000. A 32" Crt TV could be had for $₄₀₀300. I’m guessing a lot of these wound up attached to CRT tv’s

I don’t think that’s going to be in the cards. I might see if there are places I can rent/borrow one.

it was on a crt when I first got it. It was some years before I got the LCD TV it was still hooked up to.

Do you have any xbox360 recommendations? I just found a broken one looking in the garbage.

When it launched I took the day off work and rented a movie theater to play it. ( I knew the projectionist so I only paid the theater) I then rented all of the ps3 games from blockbuster. The wireless controllers worked from the front row of the theater to the booth.

It was awesome for gaming.

Is there a specific game?

I was thinking of running the switch games though the crt.

The D24 is a 1080i monitor. I’d been reading around and it seemed that was a better way to connect it them the component cables.

Would the Nintendo switch remakes of the Square game through HDMI also carry the improved look?

You mean publicly showing a ‘friend’ he was actually an employee that was hurting the brand?

I mean it’s clearly a mental illness. He could be using safety gear. He’s climbing like this for a rush.
