        Yeah, Scoops aren't an ideal shape for nachos. -- nm* - znufrii, silly old man Apr 30, 14:14
        
        there is a method to the nacho making. only shred cheese and meat go on then in the oven then when its cooked you add the potentially soggy ingredien -- nm - Pippy- silk pajamas in the sky Apr 30, 14:13 1
        
        We mix everything (shredded chix, rotel and black beans) together on the stove first, which lets us cook off any excess liquid. -- (edited) - znufrii, silly old man Apr 30, 14:15

  - same, the man can do anything -- nm - budice Apr 30, 12:45
Do we shred the NY Times only for its coverage (lack of?) on topics that are politically slanted? I found this vaccine article fascinating - JD Apr 30, 12:41 2
- I think we shred them when they kowtow to The Machine, particularly because it flies in the face of their self-aggrandizing movement from a while ago - Beryllium Apr 30, 12:56
- It was a very informative article -- nm - Krusty Apr 30, 12:54

        My parents did not tell me... what was going to happen at Bat Flight. I sat in the front with my sister. The *sound* they made was amazing. -- nm - Spawn Apr 30, 13:07 1
        
        And I did not realize it until just now, that was part of what got me to love Batman as much as I do. - Spawn Apr 30, 13:09
- N and I went to Rock City last year. It is someplace I’d like to revisit. -- nm - kelly Apr 30, 12:39 1
  - When I was going through all family photos I found some my parents took before I was born. Rock City looked cool. I'm sure it's super touristy though. - sycor Apr 30, 12:44
LIR: zunk: He's 20. When I plugged his SSN into the IRS "where's my money" tool, it confirmed it was direct deposited because we had his filing set - oblique Apr 30, 12:31 5

- Cool, thank you. I'll keep digging. -- nm - zunkskunk Apr 30, 12:43 3
  - I don’t think there’s anything specifically excluding college students from getting the credit, if they have income. -- (edited) - znufrii, drinking an 18 year-old scotch Apr 30, 12:47 2
    - Yeah. I think it was under the assumption they were dependents on their parents taxes which wasn't the case for us. -- nm - oblique Apr 30, 12:56 1
      - or that, yeah. - znufrii, silly old man Apr 30, 13:19
