My one wish...
I wish that "once in a lifetime events of historical importance" stopped happening in my lifetime.
Heck, even just a quiet decade would do at this point.
Eggs and You - What's the best way to cook them?
In your opinion, what's the best way to cook eggs? There are multitudes of ways under the sun, but here are a couple of my suggestions:
- Fried egg, cooked in butter, seasoned with salt and fresh ground Italian seasoning
- Egg patty for sandwiches made by beating one egg in a bowl and microwaving for 30-60 seconds until fluffy and cooked (seasoned to taste)
- Hardboiled and grated onto other foods
- Adding a dash of malt vinegar to a beaten egg before cooking scrambled eggs or adding it into the water when poaching an egg. This gives it a bit of a zing that pairs well with cheese.
What are your best/favorite ways to cook or cook with eggs? What recommendations do you have?
IT'S BACK BAY-BY!
The RT site is back, and in the best format. Here's to many more, the deshitification of the Internet, and place where cool, real people are able to be real cool to each other.
RT Site,
One last post on this site that has meant so much to so many over so many years. It's because of this site, this Community, that I am who I am. I discovered passions and talents I didn't know I had thanks to Red vs Blue. I've made connections with friends across the distance as well. It's been a privilege and an honor to be part of this site for almost 17 years, over half my life. Thank you RT, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. As this site goes off into the void, please know the Community will live on elsewhere, and it will continue to blossom. It's hard to put just what I feel into words, but for all the ups and downs, the successes and foibles, it all boils down to one word, love. Love for Rooster Teeth, the people behind it, and the Community. And as I write this on the eve of the site being shut down, the very end of the line, I just wanted to say that, to say that RT, I love you, and thank you. I will miss you with deep sadness and longing for more, but I can't wait to see what your people and Community do next. Goodbye, and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Sincerely,
BricBrac
You know what would be nice and help this community grow on the site again? The ability to make our own groups again. I don't understand why that functionality was removed when we moved from the old site to the new. I met some amazing people and made some amazing friends by joining different groups on the site, but now the new groups don't really feel the same. I've joined a few new ones, but it still doesn't feel like it did.
Hey, I missed the RvB panel on First Night, would anyone be willing to give me a summary of what went down and what the future of RvB will be please?
Update: After exploring the new Community Site, I miss the old one. The versatility, all the groups, the ways of connecting with friends and community members, it's all gone. Even my friends list. I don't remember their usernames and don't know how to find them... It's quite disappointing.
Does anyone know when/if we will be getting a Season 5? I know that animation is far more difficult to do and get done while working from home, but there hasn't been any news at all. Not even for RvB for that matter besides tidbits Ify keeps dropping. Did I miss something somewhere or has RT Animation just not announced anything on purpose? Do you think we will get something at RTX next week?
Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, What a Decade! A retrospective.
First, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, Happy Festivus, and anything else! I hope you had a great one!
Second, I just noticed I missed my on site birthday which was December 11th. Ten years ago I joined the site after watching for months first. Wow. A whole decade that RT has been a part of my life... That is pretty significant, at least to me.
A lot has changed in 10 years-for instance, when I was 16 I had no facial hair but I now have a full beard and sick handle bar mustache. I've graduated high school, gone to community college, graduated with my Associates there, transferred to another college, made some life long friends, graduated with my Bachelor's there, worked as a camp counselor and program staff at the greatest camp in the world, made friends there who are as close as brothers. I met my (now) soon to be wife-even though she was dating one of my close friends then-and began a relationship with her after I had graduated the college we had been at. My brother started high school, graduated, and has moved on to other things. My sister is graduating high school this year. I lost my Grandma to heart failure, almost lost my Pap due to other issues, and saw my great uncle pass on. I lost my cat, but have gained three dogs, one of whom is buried under a blanket at my feet right now. I've watched friends come and go. I've grown myself, and learning skills I never thought I would know. I've become Wilderness First Responder Certified. I became a youth group leader and have watch my group of guys strengthen and grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. I went on three mission trips to Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, leading the youth kids while there. I've traveled and seen some amazingly beautiful places. I have camped on the banks of the Rideau River, couch surfed around campus, completed multiple 50 mile canoe trips down the Allegheny River, and more. I've been a ropes course facilitator, Sportsworks presenter, apartment cleaning and maintenance, pharmacy clerk, janitor, lot attendant, comic artist, writer, computer programmer, and more. Now I am preparing for my greatest task, becoming a husband. The Lord has been good to me, and I strive to follow Him and give Him all of the glory in everything I do.
Through this whole decade RT has been apart of it. I remember the first RTX, the first Extra Life Stream, the premier of the RWBY Red Trailer, the loss of Monty, when Church turned out to be an AI, the first Gauntlet, Nature Town, the premier of the Drunk Tank, the inklings of the Lazer Team idea, and Adam and Joel's How To's. I remember all of the studio moves from the Congress office and beyond. I've grown up with RT. I don't watch TV except for a few shows (who doesn't love M*A*S*H?), and watch a few show on other streaming services, but largely RT is where I come for my entertainment. RT shows are my favorite shows (especially when I can identify with David from Camp Camp so much). RT, you've have been a constant in my life through a lot of changes, making me laugh when I'm down, putting a smile on my face when I couldn't myself.
RT, you, my family, and God have been the three constants in my life over the past ten years.
And I'm looking forward finding out what the next 10 years bring. Merry Christmas, and here's to many more.
Oh, and have a Happy New Year's!
The moment right before
The moment right before I asked. I had her turn around so I could take a picture of her looking out over the valley, then once i took the picture, I quietly sent down my phone, took out the ring, and told her she could turn back around. She was completely surprised :D She had no idea, which is quite a feat because she is quite clever :)
