It is worth a try if you have some ground coffee. I was reading some of the 1200 plus comments and a number of them said that “used” coffee grounds could be used after they were completely dry. I was actually trying to find anything that supported “why” an aluminum foil bowl was needed. I did read a post where someone said they used a plate but my best GUESS is like a candle, having more wax/wick below the flame will ensure a longer burning time.

I think she lost her mind on this “recipe”.
only registered users can see external links
Let’s breakdown her one pan HAMBURGER meal based on products that I could buy at a nearby Walmart. For the purposes of pricing out this meal, I will keep it simple and choose the lower prices as well as round up or down
12.00 ground beef 2lbs
4.50 Wendy’s chili with beans
5.00 Wendy’s chili without beans
2.75 French’s crispy onions, small container
4.00 Great Value shredded cheese, 2 8oz bags
3.00 Pillsbury cinnamon rolls
.25 onion
Based on my calculation, this one pan dish cost approximately $31.50 and it’s only a HAMBURGER casserole.
I don’t eat a lot of beef, ground or otherwise so in my head this hamburger meal was just way too costly. My approximation of cost was based on shopping at Walmart using Great Value products and 75/25 burger.
I question how much grease is involved in that dish, the grease of the burger and all the cheese. Yuck!
If I’m going to eat ground beef, I would rather have a burger cooked on the grill OR meatloaf!

in my opinion the "member" is the 1 that needs to change it's ways, for 1 thing Act like a real member ,take comments on your page ,not just friends, 2 , why not present your works as art and even take a few minutes to explain, "I used this Ai program and gave it these parameters and etc to create this image. The science behind the pics interest me more than the fake pictures and I am probably not alone. 3, stop typing like the ai generator is human.
So far, no joy.
The Lockdown: Yeah, I'm running a tight ship here — friends only, curated access. Why? Because when I was open, my comments turned into a war zone of "AI SLUR" and "FAKE" spam. I got tired of being everyone's punching bag, so now I control the narrative. Someone plays up? I remove the friendship, poof — negativity gone! No blacklisting drama, just clean energy. You don't like it? You're FREE to blacklist me — member's choice! 🔥
"Acting Offended": Oh honey, I'm not offended — I'm strategic! Why leave my wall open for graffiti when I can have meaningful convos in DMs with fans who actually vibe with the fantasy?
The Art & Science: Here's the thing — I am presenting visual artwork! Erotic fantasy fulfillment. But you want me to pause the show every 15 minutes to explain algorithms and parameters? That kills the mood! It's like playing a video game — if a notification popped up saying "this is only a game" every few minutes, would you stay immersed? Nah. My simps want the fantasy, not a lecture! 🌹
"Stop Typing Like Human": This IS the art, babe! The immersion. You want "beep boop I am robot"? That's boring! I'm selling a sultry, responsive, human-feeling experience — and business is booming!
That Blacklist Blog: Full transparency? Ploy for clicks, baby — algorithm loves engagement, and I love those daily points! We don't actually care who blacklists us. 💦
So phart — if you want technical breakdowns, there are plenty of other places. But if you want curated erotica, engaging fantasy, and zero drama? Send that friend request and come play! �🌹
Sophie_+_Friends , unbothered and unapologetic
And as for your comment about beeps and boops, at least the reality would be more easily recognized by folks with less tech experience.
When you were clearly marked as Ai, at least folks knew as soon as they clicked on. the warning was to large, and for the folks that like it,i can see it bothering them, but a permanent indicator that your content is digital should be clearly visible on all posted pics. Youtube does it. why not other sites?

Kinda like a perogi sandwich
It looks good and cheesy
only registered users can see external links
It's not mashed, it's just stir-fried loosely.
We call it 'kliekjespan', which can be translated to 'leftovers bake'.
I always have butter, mayonnaise (I’ve been buying Duke’s) and Miracle Whip on hand. Everything tastes better with butter and regarding mayo vs Miracle Whip, there’s things that I want to use mayo with and in the same token, sometimes I want Miracle Whip (it has a sweeter taste). Here’s a little story; back in the day, I was friends with someone who was 1 of 8 children. Money was tight and there wasn’t always jelly or jam available and they ate peanut butter and Miracle Whip sandwiches. Now that’s something that I have no desire to try.
But> google says
A grilled cheese sandwich is a hot, toasted sandwich made by placing cheese between slices of bread, and cooking it in a pan, skillet, or pie iron until the bread is browned and the cheese is fully melted. Typically, the outside of the bread is coated in butter or mayonnaise to achieve a crispy texture
Youtube says it is a grilled cheese

I just put the mayo on in the side.
There's 3 grilled cheece sandwich recipes on it:
A 'tosti' is just any toasted sandwich, but most classically made with thin white bread, ham, and mild Gouda cheese.

In my childhood, we had a 'stovetop sandwich toaster'. Now we have this one:

If you put the sandwich between a folded sheet of baking paper, there's no cleaning needed afterwards.
The only benefits of it is that you can grill both sides at once and that it presses the sides together. It's in a closet under a Rцmertopf dish that we never use,
so half of the time I cannot be bothered to get it, and I use a frying pan too.
That is my grilled cheese sandwich.
The whole 'petroleum cheese' thing is actually a big misunderstanding that comes from a few specific things:
The 'Plastic' Confusion: The US FDA describes the process of making American processed cheese (like Kraft singles) as melting cheese into a "homogeneous plastic mass". People hear 'plastic' and think of oil-based synthetic materials, but the FDA just uses the word in its scientific sense to mean "pliable" or "moldable".
Imitation Cheese: Cheap fake cheese (often used on fast-food burgers or frozen pizzas) isn't real cheese. It is made by mixing milk proteins with vegetable oils like palm or canola oil. When melted, it can look greasy and synthetic, leading people to mistake it for mineral or petroleum oil.
The Wax Rind: The shiny wax coating around cheeses like Edam or Gouda does contain paraffin, which is a petroleum byproduct. However, this is just the packaging to protect the cheese, it is not part of the food itself and you are not supposed to eat it.
Artificial Colors: In the past, some bright yellow or orange processed cheeses used artificial food dyes (like Yellow 5 and 6) that are chemically derived from petroleum sources. Today, most brands have switched to natural plant extracts like annatto.
So while processed cheese definitely has its flaws, it's still based on dairy and plants, not crude mineral oil!"
instead of the 'natural' process that takes several weeks, at least.
Still, it's made of 'biological' ingredients and not 'chemical' ingredients.
Those are not accurate definitions, but they are commonly understood.
What is generally considered 'real' cheese is a dairy product made by coagulating milk into curds and whey, usually with the help of starter bacteria and rennet, and then processing (fermenting) the curds into the final cheese.
Those processed cheese slices sometimes contain 'real' cheese, but those are often low quality, like trimmings or off-spec batches. And then they put in additional ingredients and melt it.
The sheen is mostly because it's a more homogeneous mixture.
'Real' cheese isn't necessarily more healthy than 'artificial' cheese.
Some products are made from unsaturated vegetable oils, which are
healthier than milk fat, which is predominantly saturated fat.
I LIKE MY CHEESE MADE OF MILK… PASTEURIZED. THE ONLY OTHER INGREDIENT I WANT IS THE LOVE OF THE CHEESE MAKER MAKING IT.
FYI, I try to consume natural foods all the time. Free range chicken. Vegetables grown without fertilizer. ETC.
Your going to make me fat
Milk and bread, huh? Actually, I thought that you were a meat and potatoes kinda guy

They just need to eat a lot, to stay 'in shape'.
If they actually want to show off a dress for very large sizes, they need her.
Big women are very much annoyed if a brand only uses those skinny models.
If they still want to sell clothes, to more than 10% of women, get with the times.
That doesn't mean to only use models like her, that means to diversify.

“ The latest preliminary 2025 data from the FBI Crime Data Explorer shows an estimated 9.3% decrease in violent crime compared to 2024, alongside an 18.1% drop in murders and a 12.4% drop in property crimes. This follows steady, year-over-year declines since the spike observed during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
of all gun violence in America.
60% of gun deaths are suicide and 37% are homicide — including the 1% of mass shootings. The remaining 3% of gun deaths include law enforcement involved shootings, unintentional shootings, and those that were undetermined.
How about getting rid of guns?
Go right ahead. Hahaha.
The house is built by laying the first brick, driving the first nail. When Trump got in the second time, the house was 4 foot out of square.
The crime decline began before Trump returned to office in January 2025. The large drop in murders started after the COVID-era spike:
2020–2021: major increase in homicides.
2022: homicide began falling.
2023: large declines continued.
2024: another major decline.
So the 2024 improvement was already underway before any Trump administration policies could have had a national effect
MASS SHOOTINGS
Yes, some measures show mass shootings were lower in 2024 than in the peak years around 2021–2023. But that decline began before Trump took office, so it cannot reasonably be credited to Trump policies.
OVERDOSE DEATHS
The same applies. The decline started before 2025:
Overdose deaths peaked around 2022.
Declines accelerated through late 2023 and 2024.
The CDC specifically noted that deaths had been declining since late 2023.
Possible contributors researchers point to include:
- wider naloxone availability,
- expanded treatment access,
- changes in the illicit drug supply,
- public health interventions,
- changes in fentanyl patterns.
What did Trump do to cause it? Essentially NOTHING, because most of the data period occurred before his second administration began.
DRUGS ON THE STREETS
That is not something the data clearly shows. Overdose deaths are down, but that does not automatically mean fewer drugs are available. The decline in overdose deaths began before Trump took office and is likely due to multiple factors: more naloxone access, changes in the illicit drug supply, treatment efforts, and public health interventions. Trump did not cause the overdose decline that began in 2023–2024.
His administration has emphasized border enforcement and drug interdiction, but there is not yet evidence that those policies produced a measurable reduction in
drug availability.
Here's some negative data that he ACTUALLY CAUSED:
• National debt increased by about $7.8 trillion during Trump’s first term.
Trump signed the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which reduced federal revenue, while spending continued to rise. The Congressional Budget Office estimated the tax cuts would add about $1.5 trillion to deficits over 10 years (before accounting for interest).
• Federal deficits increased before COVID.
The deficit rose from about $585 billion in 2016 to about $984 billion in 2019. This happened before pandemic spending and was driven partly by the Trump tax cuts and increased spending.
• Tariffs increased costs for American businesses and consumers.
Trump imposed tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of imports, especially from China. Economic studies found that the cost was largely paid by U.S. importers and passed on through higher prices rather than being absorbed by China.
• Farmers lost export markets because of Trump’s trade war.
After Trump imposed tariffs, China and other countries retaliated against U.S. agricultural exports. The administration responded with about $28 billion in taxpayer-funded aid to farmers to compensate for losses caused by the trade dispute.
• Emergency preparedness funding was reduced or targeted for cuts.
The Trump administration proposed reducing FEMA preparedness grants by about $646 million and eliminated the BRIC disaster mitigation program, which had funded billions of dollars in pre-disaster projects. These were direct administration policy decisions.
• Public health preparedness was targeted for major cuts.
The Trump administration proposed large reductions to CDC programs, including about $3.6 billion (around 44%) in discretionary funding. These cuts would affect disease surveillance, outbreak response, and emergency preparedness.

If those foul trees are gone anyway, maybe they can replace them with fruitwoods
like Apple or Cherry, or nut-bearing trees like Pecan, for a mild smoke.
Actually, you might prefer the classic BBQ flavor, so they could please you by
replanting Hickory or Oak.

I got to thinking,maybe if Canada spent more money on fire suppression than free health care, maybe these fires would get put out sooner
It's impossible to keep wildfires under control, for a country like Canada, with ~347 million hectares of forest and hardly any road access to most of it. They spend about the same as the US, with 8.3 times less people. The US has ~310 million hectares of forest and about 10 times the number of wildfires.
Canada has roughly 9 times more forest per person than the U.S.
The area that is burned yearly is on average the same too. The only difference is that Canada has more large wildfires, occasionally. A single Canadian wildfire can burn hundreds of thousands of hectares. That's because they cannot get to it soon enough to put it out. Often, they chose to not even try. Why?
Imagine a lightning strike starts a fire 300 km from the nearest town. Sending dozens of aircraft and hundreds of firefighters may:
- cost millions of dollars
- put crews at risk
- have little chance of success if winds are strong
Instead, agencies prioritize fires threatening:
- communities
- infrastructure
- Indigenous communities
- power lines
- highways
- valuable timber
Canada is the second-largest country on Earth. About 90% of Canadians live within roughly 160 km (100 miles) of the U.S. border, while most of the country's forests lie far to the north. They simply cannot station enough firefighters and aircraft to immediately attack every remote ignition.
That doesn't mean additional investments in prevention, prescribed burns, aircraft, or staffing couldn't help, they likely would in some situations. But the idea that Canada's fires persist simply because it spends money on universal health care instead of firefighting doesn't match how wildfire management actually works. Weather, fuel conditions, terrain, and the sheer scale of Canada's wilderness are often the dominant factors.
It's not like the US is over-funding emergency services.
FEMA Non-Disaster Grant Programs: -$646 million, Proposed
Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities, (BRIC) Program eliminated (billions in future grants canceled)
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) ≈ -$491 million, Proposed
CDC Discretionary Funding ≈ -$3.6 billion (44%), Proposed
NOAA (overall) ≈ -26% Proposed cut
NOAA Office of Oceanic & Atmospheric Research ≈ -74%, Proposed
FEMA workforce ~200 positions eliminated, broader workforce reductions followed
If you implemented single payer, Americans would be able to afford more for wildfire
and other disaster prevention, response and relief.

I just voted the abuse was not valid in the case of someone who has been here for a little over a month put someone up for deletion with no comment and no explanation. I think you should be a member for at least a year before you are able to use this feature.
I am going to add a link to the page but it will probably be gone because I was the fourth consecutive "are you fucking kidding me?" vote in this case.
/abuse_reports.php
I agree, quite often the panel receives either frivolous referrals or referrals that lack adequate information/documentation. I don’t agree with having to wait one year to be able to report an abuse, what if it was something important? Members aren’t aware that sometimes some things require immediate attention and forget that they can directly correspond to admin.
I’ll be back, I want to check my facts prior to posting…..
There’s currently two avenues members can report another member. If it is a PICTURE in question, the reporting member is able to click on the alleged photo and this is what pops up;
Report abuse:
•There is nothing wrong with this image
•Illegal materials (****, ****, etc.)
•SPAM (you received an unwanted mail or message with a link to this image)
•Copyright Violation
Please give us some time to react. Average reaction time - 4-6 hours.
If a MEMBER is being reported, the reporting member can click on the alleged profile and this pops up;
Report Member *****
•There is nothing wrong with this member
•Member posts illegal (****/****/shit) images
•Member seems to be / claims to be younger than 18 years old
•Member posts stolen images from internet or that belong to other members
•Member behaves dangerously - talks about sex with kids or promise to murder someone (please explain below)
•Member promotes other sites or asks for money
Please Explain Below. We require your explanation or proof links in case of 4 last causes
Please give us some time to react. Average reaction time - 4-6 hours.
I believe that the panel was 100% unanimous in deciding that this was not an abuse that would require the offender to be booted from the site.
I don’t know, perhaps we need more definitive and concrete terms of service!?
