Apps or websites I can't use with Google Voice
  • BeReal. I guess I can't try last year's (this written in 2022) social media trend. (Though I can't tell if this app is just failing to use Android WebView correctly since I'm a Firefox user).
  • Venmo. Since I was forced, I'm just using one of my phones' SIM's numbers. But I wish people were willing to accept PayPal instead which is free for personal use and international and supports using a desktop web interface. So few things to like about Venmo!
  • Viber. There's a chance that if you open a support request they might override it for you, but nobody uses it anyway. Sorry, Rakuten.

Ingredients

  • 2 bay leafs/leafs
  • celery
  • 0.5lb bacon (or just get smallest package, preferrably uncured)
  • 2lb beef (chuck roast without much fat or top round steak, best to choose cheaper)
  • 1 cup sake
  • 2tsp ground black pepper

Foundation Brass 2024 Summer Concert songs

2024 Summer Foundation Brass Band Concert

Notes

Binki is wearing the red/burgandy shirt and sitting almost off-screen to the right.

Unfortunately, the group seems a bit out of tune for this concert—especially at the beginning. I recommend checking out the last 3 tunes starting with Crown Him with Many Crowns.
