Sexy, rowdy, and evoking genuine investment in the characters through their onscreen cameraderie, banter and slowly unfolding respective backstories. This show to me is the pure distillation of what good fantasy is supposed to be. this is exactly what i wanted (minus the sex and nudity) Boobs, buttocks, and a slight glimpse at a man's testicles is seen). They played them for years before creating this show! WARNING: this show is more than rated R and has soooooooooo many adult themes and actions as in language (F words mostly), violence and gore, and nudity (as of right now, a short oral sex scene in the first episode that lasts about 15 seconds. ![]() Here, i love that matt is voicing Sylas, it was the only way to do it! Overall i think the voice acting is fantastic, and there is nothing to complain about because nobody knows these characters as well as the voice actors. It saves lives the ending of the second episode introduces one of, if not, my favorite arc of campaign 1 in introducing the Briarwoods. no matter who you are, ALWAYS do the right thing. ![]() This arc gives Vax and the other members their first lesson which is. just wanna get that out of the way haha we did it, we did it, we did it, WE DID IT!!!! The first thing i wanna go over is how accurate this show already is to the arc's they are doing in the show! The first two episodes are a pre-stream arc that we've only heard about, and now we finally get to see it. Nonetheless, can't wait for the next episodes. I am hoping they will balance things out in the future. I was expecting some parts of the show to be like that but I also expected to see some of the beautiful places of Tal'Dorei. The story and atmosphere are also both very dark so far. ![]() Maybe I am used to the Critical Role show and watching them trying to decide what to do for hours. I found the story to be progressing too fast. They created the characters so they know them inside out. Maybe that's because the main actors are actually voicing their own characters that they played on the 1st season of Critical Role. It has great story, humor, live and strong characters and excellent voice acting. I found the show very entertaining on multiple levels. If you are uncertain, watch the 1st episode and see if that's your cup of tea. First, I think it should be a fair warning that this show is for mature audience. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments Iced oatmeal cookies![]() ![]() It is packed with chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and toffee bits then topped with just the right amount of sea salt. ![]() We send it directly to your email so you can start reading, cooking, and relaxing immediately!

If your cookies break apart, the dough is very forgiving and you can squish the pieces together. I have got anywhere from 16 to 24 cookies and this depends on the shape of your log and how close to 1/2 an inch each cookie is (you are aiming for just under 1/2 inch for each cookie. Slice your cookies using a sharp knife and transfer rounds onto baking tray. ![]() When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350☏ and prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Wrap tightly and place in fridge for at least 3 hours so dough is chilled. You don't really need to measure here, just realize that the diameter of your log will be the size of your cookies. I like my oatmeal cookies a bit larger so go for a shorter length with a larger diameter. Place your dough on some plastic wrap and form into a log that is about 10 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Save your egg white by storing in an airtight container, you can use this for your icing. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until pale and smooth. In a blender or food processor, pulse 1 cup oats 5 times, or just until the oats are broken. Your dough will start to come together and when this happens, add your egg yolk and mix (or pulse if using food processor) until there are no dry spots. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I prefer to make my oat flour in a food processor and use my stand mixer for the rest.Īdd in your butter to your dry ingredients and mix until incorporated. You can use your food processor, stand mixer or use a hand mixer. In a bowl, add your oat flour, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg. It should not be completely smooth, there should be small pieces of pulverized oats. Make your oat flour by placing oats into food processor or blender and pulse until it is roughly ground. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments Carbon health hillsdale![]() Michigan has cut power sector emissions 14% since 2005, but estimates it must reduce the sector’s carbon intensity 80% by 2030 relative to 2005 to be on track for the 2050 carbon neutrality target. Strengthening statewide climate policy starts with electricity. Retiring coal while avoiding a rush to gas Transportation alternatives are also provided via new public transit, “last mile” options, and biking infrastructure investments.īut by design, the MI Healthy Climate Plan leaves many details undefined, and this is where it could become a truly transformative blueprint for climate action. The plan also devotes funding to transition workers and communities economically dependent upon existing coal plants, while helping residents access clean energy careers through expanded workforce development, job training, and apprenticeship programs. Dedicating at least 40% of all climate investments toward vulnerable communities will ensure Michigan’s frontline communities suffering the worst climate change and pollution impacts will have resources to build a resilient future. This clean energy transition will generate decades of investment, which the MI Healthy Climate Plan directs toward a just transition for all its citizens. (Photo by JEFF KOWALSKY / AFP) (Photo by JEFF KOWALSKY/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images The investment includes construction of a new Ultium Cells battery cell plant in Lansing and the conversion of GM's assembly plant in Orion Township, Michigan for production of the Chevrolet Silverado EV and the electric GMC Sierra, GM's second assembly plant scheduled to build full-size electric pickups. This is the single largest investment announcement in GM history. General Motors will create 4,000 new jobs and retaining 1,000, and significantly increasing battery cell and electric truck manufacturing capacity. billion in four Michigan manufacturing sites during an event on Januin Lansing, Michigan. Mary Barra, Chief Executive Officer of General Motors announces an investment of more than $7. Ford is investing $30 billion in EVs by 2030, and the Chrysler brand will only sell EVs by 2028. GM will only sell ZEVs by 2035, and just announced a $7 billion investment to expand EV production in the state. Michigan’s electrified transportation aspirations could pay dividends on Detroit’s EV investments as local demand spurs local sales. Installing charging infrastructure to support 2 million EVs by 2030 will pave the way to the state’s goal of 50% new light-duty vehicle and 30% of medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sales being electric by 2030, along with transitioning the state-owned fleet to 100% zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by 2045. The plan’s transportation targets create economic upside for Michigan’s largest employer, the auto industry, which is already transitioning toward EVs. Nearly every existing coal plant statewide costs more to operate than replacement with new local wind or solar, and the two outlier plants were only 14% to 15% cheaper than in-state renewables, meaning they will likely soon lose their cost competitiveness. ![]() Michigan’s coal transition aspirations match a statewide trend: Only one existing coal plant is slated to still be operational after 2028, while one other existing plant’s power purchase agreement with Consumers expires in 2025. DTE Energy is targeting net-zero emissions by 2050, Consumers Energy is targeting zero coal by 2025 and net zero by 2040, and four other smaller utilities are targeting 80% to 100% emissions reductions by 2050. These goals pair well with Michigan’s utilities. ![]() In addition to cutting power sector emissions by closing all coal plants in 2035 and reaching 50% renewables in 2030, the plan directs all state facilities to use 100% in-state renewables by 2025 and reduce energy use in state facilities 40% by 2040.
