The goal is to make your house a slightly harder target than some other house. Go for the easy stuff first like keeping the property well lit, lock your windows and doors. Close your blinds so valuables cant be seen from outside. Something people dont often talk about is getting friendly with your neighbors. They can be an extra set of eyes out for anything suspicious.
If you're willing to spend some money, plant thorny bushes under vulnerable windows. Get a security system, or just put a fake security system sign in your yard. Put up cameras.
An easy one is to replace the screws for your door hinges and deadbolt with nice, long, 3 inch screws in place of the tiny ones that are usually used. They longer screws will extend into the wall studs instead of only the doorframe. Makes it harder to kick in. You can also buy metal strips for reinforcing your door jam that aren't too expensive.
One access point I think people tend to overlook are garage doors. I put mine on remote switches so I can completely power them off at night. Even if someone got my garage door opener or one of those spoofers, they wouldn't be able to open the doors.
Just a small wildlife pond with a sitting area for us humans. Frogs always move into our kiddie pools when we put them out in the summer so we felt they needed a dedicated habitat.
My wife loves 80s movies, so I plan on getting the Gizmo (21361) and the Back to the Future (10300) sets for her. I'm hoping some sales will hit after Thanksgiving.
Raccoons and possums actually like to eat the larva in yellowjacket nests. If you put some dry pet food by the nest it'll attract them and they'll dig up the nest. Sounds crazy, but it's worked for me before.
Please insert them.
Here's a decent example of a recipe for this kind of biscuit. Lots of butter. Work the dough as little as possible so it stays flaky. Some recipes call for folding the dough a few times to create more distinct layers. https://www.melissassouthernstylekitchen.com/fluffy-southern-buttermilk-biscuits/

Just a few ideas off the top of my head.
Even the AI version looks like crap to me. The weird corners and angles at the rim would make it impossible to drink from comfortably.
I received the Enterprise D lego set for christmas, so I watched all the TNG era movies while I built it. Very nostalgic.
Cool indeed. At first glance I thought it was some kind of wonky tennis ball.
I feel like there's a word for "the tip of my feet" but I can't put the tip of my hand on it.
If you don't mind sharing, what was the other poem?
I was hoping someone would respond with this kind of info. Really interesting to look up the terminology. Thanks!

The darkest layer on top is only about 1.5-2 inches. We have very little topsoil before we hit clay.

I learned about these when a snake climbed the utility pole and blew the fuse leading to our house. Charred snake bits everywhere.
It does look impressively bad.
Kinda reminds me of the car Homer designed.
They eat coral so they essentially poop sand, which contributes to building beaches.

Aldi's take and bake pizzas are great for doctoring up.
New version of “Netflix and chill” just dropped.
