Chef Hill hopes to honor the art of Japanese robata

Robata refers to a method of cooking, similar to barbecue, in which items of food are cooked at varying speeds over hot charcoal. (Wikipedia)

Sounds like some dang ol’ conflict between Bobby and Hank coming up!

Couldn’t you submit your own attempts (or a commission) to GitHub, or directly to @[email protected] to consider for inclusion? I’d personally prefer for the primary developer to focus efforts on continuing to make app functionality awesome.

Agree. It might be easy enough to keep the characters of Luanne and Lucky going offscreen through one-sided phone calls if they wanted to, but addressing the loss of Johnny Hardwick is going to have some growing pains at best.

 

Mike Judge most recently brought back Beavis and Butthead for a new series on Paramount+ that brought the two giggling hellraisers to the present day, but this isn't the only animated revival that Judge had in mind.

King of The Hill is planning to make a return thanks to Hulu, bringing back the Hill family for the first time since the series finale aired in 2010. In a recent surprising update, the voice of Bobby Hill, Pamela Adlon, revealed what Bobby Hill's status is in the upcoming series.

Earlier this year, Adlon had spoke with the outlet Variety on the status of the King of The Hill reboot, stating how special the revival feels and the loss of cast member Johnny Hardwick, "It feels really special and there's...a new generation of young writers who are writing the scripts and finding the sweet spot of the classic, the vintage King of the Hill and the new era. We're very blessed. It's hard because we lost Johnny Hardwick, and he had recorded like four episodes, and that feels really raw. But he's there with us. It feels like a family. It feels really good."

What is Bobby Hill Up To?

In a new interview, Pamela Adlon revealed some surprising facts about just what Bobby Hill is doing at age 21 in the upcoming revival, “We're in the second season [creating] the reboot, and Bobby is 21. He's a chef in a fusion restaurant in Dallas. And it's been incredible. It's just been really fun. I think it's been freakier for Mike and Greg to think about Bobby going from 12 to being 21 and having a relationship and being a person. But don't we all go through that with our kids and our friends' kids? It is shocking when I see my friends' kids and they're all grown up. And I'm like, 'Wait a second, what just happened?' So, it's just a little bit of a mess.”

The King of The Hill comeback has yet to share an official release date that will focus on this older Bobby and his family. Luckily, the series has been hinted at to arrive next year, 2025, so the arrival of the revival is on the horizon.

Feels like this is the best way really. Having a separate account would also let you save those communities you’ve blocked on your primary account as favorites under your secondary account for quick retrieval.

For anyone wondering why NPS or any federal agency might participate in external events or allow employees to attend events in uniform: LGBTQ+ is one of several areas of special emphasis for federal agencies in recruitment, retention, and awareness. Others include, for example, women in government; Asian, Black, Native American, or Hispanic heritage; and people with disabilities. Special Emphasis Programs (SEP) are codified by executive order. The major intents are to dispel stereotypes, promote inclusion, and recognize the advances made by and contributions of people belonging to these groups.

As an example of the kind of participation agencies have shown under SEPs in the past—a local office may attend and set up a booth at a career fair for a Historically Black College or University. This serves employment-related outreach efforts under the SEP for the agency while also observing and recognizing this group. There is no similar Big Gay Hiring Event at a large scale, so Pride participation makes sense to further efforts under this SEP. Even apart from recruitment, the recognition of LGBTQ+ individuals—which NPS already explicitly supports through their management of Stonewall National Monument—and outward displays of inclusion for this group are equally important for prospective and current employees, as part of the culture of the agency.

What NPS has done is allow requests to participate in local Pride events as a form of observance and outreach to languish on the desks of NPS leadership.

OP’s right on top of that, @[email protected]!

Tracking my read books motivates me to read more. I’m trying to read at least one book a month this year, after years of not reading much at all. I’m on book 6 so far, but when my partner asked me the other day how far along I was in my goal I told them either 4 or 5 before I went on bookwyrm and actually checked. I have the memory of a goldfish. I also like to sometimes look back and see which books took me longer to finish. My final reason is that bookwyrm (right now) provides me reviews I think I can place a little more weight on than maybe some other platforms. It works for me, even though I agree that using it is a bit cumbersome at this stage of its development.

This is the first comment I’ve scrolled to where someone has asked about what moving to Sublinks means in terms of practicality, so I’ll hitch my question here too.

To be sure I understand, are you saying that any existing community will be automatically migrated to Sublinks? Would I need to also create a new user account with Sublinks or would this also be migrated? Posts, comments, up/downvotes? Are those all migrated?

I’m just having trouble understanding what a move to Sublinks means in a very practical sense for users and communities. Is this just a backend change that I—as a user, as a mod—would likely not notice? Thanks for any clarification you can provide.

While I’m all too happy to criticize SCOTUS, and I’m aghast at the judge shopping that is going on, these straight numbers don’t mean anything. We need to know proportions. If 10 cases are accepted from the 5th Circuit out of 100 that apply, that’s 10%. If 3 are heard from another circuit where 5 apply, that’s 60%. From the article, it seems judge shopping in the lower courts is the real issue.

I know this isn’t what you’re asking for, but I will say that the “Share as image” option is great and very versatile. You can choose whether to include the post details and mask usernames and community names.

Came across this fun PSA from 2000 for the Will Rogers Institute. That King of the Hill movie looks way better than Flowers of Time, even without Charlton Heston or Ethan Hawke.

I’d say “some,” not a lot. And I’d also qualify them as reasonable assumptions given the article content and your original comment. But regardless, you agree things are worse now, and to the people who can’t afford homes, being in a situation that’s only a bit worse rather than impossibly worse could be a meaningless distinction. As I said, your parents are not the problem just because they want to stay in their home, but there is a problem.

The age range of millennials, the age of boomers, the idea that a forever long-term home is likely a second or third home purchase, your statement that you grew up in that house and are presumably a millennial. What year are we talking then? Average rates were level ‘85-90 in the 10% range, dropping after that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (5 children)

That’s not true though. The average 30-year fixed rate in 1990 was a little over 10%.

 

Wingo! A bright and prosperous dang ol' 2024 to all Arlenians, I tell you hwhat. Yep.
