Sometimes I buy a container of the shredded white meat chicken to put in things like salads because I’m short on time. Every time I do I regret it because it looks so weird. Do you boil it? Is there any other kind of pre-processing happening?

It’s the most bizarre-looking “chicken”. I suppose it’s all off-cuts from the butcher section? Is that why it looks weird?

When I boil chicken breasts at home for the same “easy protein to add to any dish” purpose it doesn’t get the weird smooth but mottled look that yours does.

What gives?

I think I know the answer, which is "no", but thought I'd check anyway.

I have pepper plants still growing (and flowering) in my raised bed: Ghost, Scotch Bonnet, Tabasco, and Pequin. If I were to say cut them way back, and mulch them in heavy, might they make it through this upcoming cold and whatever the rest of January/February might bring? I don't care enough to dig them up or build a mini greenhouse, but I thought it might be worth a shot if there's a chance?

Not that I’m complaining. But I’ve always heard that birds don’t have capsaicin receptors so hot peppers have no effect on them. And that this is why capsaicin evolved in hot peppers.

But I’ve never seen a single bird eat a pepper off my plants even when covered with bright red peppers? Especially the Tabasco and Chili Pequin ones which are bite size for birds. Have Austin birds forgotten that they’re edible? Do only certain species of birds eat peppers?

I was coming back north on 183 after dropping someone off at the airport and nearly got sideswiped by a car and following police car absolutely flying down the breakdown lane (I was in leftmost lane, the were in left breakdown lane). I think we were somewhere between 35 and MoPac/360?

They disappeared over the horizon and I didn’t see anything else after that. I credit my thousands of hours of training in iRacing and “NASCAR Racing” games/simulators for being able to get out of their way and not hit the other car right next to me lol.

I have an Infinity TSS-1200 home theater powered subwoofer that quite a few years ago started intermittently behaving strangely. It is supposed to stay in standby until it gets signal, and then it turns itself on, and the LED on the back panel goes from red to green.

For a while it would "sometimes fully turn on" and sometimes not. What it does now is "try" to turn on, the LED appears to flicker between red and green, and the subwoofer emits an electronic almost mechanical buzzing sound. It never fully "goes green".

I've tried maxing out the output signal from the receiver's LFE output (a Denon AVR S540BT). Swapping cables, etc. I also tried connecting it to my recording studio's outpu
