@katyaaeliza You're 40? Yeah get a trampoline and some sweet treats... Be a kid again, no one says this adult shit has to have limitations... life is as fun as you wish it to be, lock in when you need to but don't forget how to let loose and have a Blast!
Let you, be you, dude!
@littletapi Go to youtube and listen to lo-fi especially questing fantasy lo-fi... lose yourself in creativity, make a story in art or writing. Let your phone compliment your life instead of complicate it. If it gets too much, remind yourself, who you are inside, and you can conquer anything
Sean Astin, the President of SAG-AFTRA, recently testified before a U.S. House Judiciary subcommittee in support of the bipartisan NO FAKES Act.
The proposed law would protect everyone, not just celebrities, from unauthorised AI-generated replicas of their voice and likeness.
@littletapi Knowing the sun will shine but being stuck in the rain is rough. So don't ever feel pathetic, depression is Choppy waters in a massive storm, you must navigate out of the waves then clear the storm and you will sail free once more! You are strong, i know you can do it!🫶🏽😁
Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles
Ingredients
12 oz wide rice noodles or fettuccine
1 lb ground beef (85–90% lean)
1 tbsp neutral oil (if needed)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
3–4 green onions, sliced (whites and greens divided)
1 small red chili or 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
Sauce
1/2 cup low‑sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup beef broth or water
1/4 cup brown sugar (packed) — adjust to taste
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional, but great depth)
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1–2 tsp sesame oil
1–2 tsp chili‑garlic sauce or sriracha (optional for heat)
For serving
Toasted sesame seeds
Extra green onion tops
Instructions
Cook noodles
Boil according to package until just al dente. Drain and rinse briefly (especially rice noodles). Toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.
Brown the beef
Heat a large skillet/wok over medium‑high. Add a drizzle of oil if pan is dry. Cook beef, breaking into fine crumbles, until well browned and most moisture evaporates, 6–8 minutes. Spoon off excess fat if needed.
Aromatics
Push beef to the sides, add garlic, ginger, green onion whites, and chili to the center. Sauté 30–60 seconds until fragrant, then mix into beef.
Sauce
Whisk all sauce ingredients. Pour into the pan, bring to a simmer 1–2 minutes.
Thicken
Stir in cornstarch slurry while simmering; cook 1–2 minutes until glossy and slightly thick.
Combine with noodles
Add cooked noodles. Toss over medium heat until coated and saucy, 1–2 minutes. If too thick, splash in a bit of hot water or broth. If you want it stickier/saucier, simmer another minute.
Finish
Stir in sesame oil (if you held it back), top with green onion greens and sesame seeds.
Tips
Sweetness: Classic Mongolian flavor is sweet‑savory; reduce brown sugar to 2–3 tbsp if you prefer it less sweet.
Extra veg: Add thin carrot matchsticks, bell pepper, or snap peas with the aromatics; or fold in steamed broccoli at the end.
Crispy beef option: Let the beef sit undisturbed 1–2 minutes at a time to develop browned bits.
Gluten‑free: Use tamari and GF hoisin/oyster; pair with rice noodles.
Make‑ahead: Sauce can be mixed 3 days in advance; beef reheats well with a splash of water.
