I feel like this says a lot,

Disclaimer: I know swaps are risky and my end product will inherently be different, but I’m trying to minimize food waste, and as long as it tastes good and sets adequately, that’s okay with me. I’ll also cross-post this to the Dessert Person subreddit.
I’m making Claire Saffitz’s Dessert Person’s Minty Lime Bars (picture for ingredients). However, I have a 6 lemons that I want to use up. The recipe calls for the juice of 1 lemon already (2oz/57g), but I was thinking of swapping out the lime juice (6oz/170g) for lemons. I’ve read that lemons are a bit sweeter than limes, so I was thinking of reducing the sugar by ~15% (170g vs 200g) - which I know is risky because sugar does more than sweetness - it adds hydration, etc. so maybe I’ll add 2 more tablespoons of lemon juice.
Is there any other things I should consider with this swap? Baking time? Differences in acidity affecting setting? I’m going to experiment and go for it anyway, but I appreciate any ideas to help me make the best possible swap before going in! Thanks!!

I don’t think people realize that Drake and Kendrick have been having a back and forth in their songs since before "First Person Shooter." Yes, we all know they’ve been sending subliminals to each other for over a decade and have been beefing for a while now, but since "DAMN.," no one has really paid attention to the subliminals in their music, and they’ve been directly responding to each other in songs for a while now.
Here’s some backstory on where I think this modern beef started. On March 5, 2021, Drake released the song "What’s Next." The song was originally supposed to have Baby Keem on it, but his verse was left off, and it was just Drake on the song. I’m just going to leave this information here because it might play into the later disses.
Family Ties
August 27, 2021
Where I think the disses really start is on "Family Ties" with Kendrick Lamar. This song is the first official collaboration between Keem and Kendrick. It comes five months after What’s Next. In Kendrick’s verse, he states that he’s:
"Smokin' on your top five tonight, tonight
Yeah, I'm smokin' on your, what's his name, tonight, tonight."
This could be aimed at anybody in the game, but I think it’s directly targeted towards Drake based on the “what’s his name,” since Drake and Rihanna have a song called “What’s My Name.” Kendrick is saying he’s smoking on Drake.
Throughout Kendrick’s verse, he starts calling himself the GOAT and explains why he’s been absent in the game before this. At the end of the track, Baby Keem says:
"Number two DM'ing my bitch
That's cool, I don't ask why."
"Number two" here refers to Drake, as number one would be Kendrick Lamar. Drake is known for DMing people’s girls and stuff like that; Baby Keem says Drake is DMing his girl and is confused.
Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers
https://preview.redd.it/f8c3x1uhbp1d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=042914e480929880962297dff8e7f1c585752c02
It’s been about a year since "Family Ties," and Kendrick releases his next studio album in five years. The album is supposed to address his demons and is about his growth and maturity through therapy. I think there are some subliminal on here towards Drake.
Father Time
This entire track is Kendrick addressing the issue of parenthood, specifically fatherhood, and the toxic nature of present and absent fathers due to the toxic masculinity that is passed through generations. It’s interesting that this is the track where Kendrick directly mentions Drake's name since we know later on Kendrick would call Drake a bad/absent father and call his father absent as well.
"When Kanye got back with Drake, I was slightly confused
Guess I'm not mature as I think, got some healin' to do."
Kanye and Drake got back together for the Larry Hoover concert, and here Kendrick is confused about why Kanye “made up” with Drake. He realized he’s not as mature as he thinks and has some healing to do because he wouldn’t get back with Drake like Kanye did.
Rich Spirit
I think "Rich Spirit" might be the real warning shot towards Drake. I also think this is a direct reply to "Toosie Slide." The entire "Rich Spirit" video is him alone in his house, away from fame and society. There are a lot of lines here that, in retrospect, seem to be Kendrick telling Drake what a real “Rich Spirit” is. For example:
"Takin' my baby to school, then I pray for her."
This is something Kendrick directly attacks Drake for in his diss tracks.
"And celebrity do not mean integrity, you fool."
Kendrick is saying that celebrity does not equal integrity. He also uses this same angle in his diss tracks later on.
"Stop playin' with me 'fore I turn you to a song (Yeah)
Stop playin' with me 'fore I turn you to a song (Ooh)."
This is pretty obvious. Kendrick is telling Drake to stop playing with him before he turns him into a song (diss track) like he did with "Not Like Us."
Here’s where I think it gets even more obvious:
"Ayy, clout chasing hell of a disease, brother
I'm fasting four days out the week, brother
I pray to God that you realize the entourage is dead
I pray to God that you not lackin' when you off the meds
I pray to God she knows them Cabo trips don't last forever
Bet she argues with her momma, go and get them kids."
Everything Kendrick says here is exactly what he says to Drake in his diss tracks. He mentions meds, his entourage is against him, calls him out for his trips to islands, and calls him a clout chaser. This is clearly referencing Drake.
These lines directly reference J Prince, like he does in "Euphoria":
"I pray to God you actually pray when somebody dies
Thoughts and prayers, way better off timelines
False claimin' not cute, I'm mortified
The new Earth in hot pursuit, two-hundred lives."
He says the exact same thing to J Prince in "Euphoria."
He also says:
“I would never live my life on the computer IG'll get you life for a chikabooya More power to ya, love 'em from a distance Why you always in the mirror more than the bitches?”
Drake is known for his antics online and Instagram captions/Internet culture. This one’s also pretty obvious.
Honestly, Nevermind
https://preview.redd.it/hhptm12nbp1d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=87ccec540b1538faa76f59c155994690808250cc
Drake responds to Kendrick on his album "Honestly, Nevermind." What’s important to realize here is that this album dropped on Kendrick’s birthday. The entire album is club-inspired music and was something people did not expect, and he dropped it on Kendrick’s birthday on purpose. It was to showcase to Kendrick that he can make music that Kendrick couldn’t. The entire album is club-inspired music except for the last track “Sticky” with 21 Savage. On this track, Drake states:
"Couple hits, now you brave, boy
You n**** better behave (What)
All that pumpin' up your chest (What)
All that talk about the best (What)
You know how sticky it gets."
He’s telling Kendrick to behave and stop talking about how he’s the best like he did on "Family Ties." Now what’s very interesting is that Kendrick & Baby Keem directly respond to this track on "The Hillbillies." I don’t think people realize that "The Hillbillies" is a direct response to this. But before The Hillbillies was the "America Has a Problem" remix with Beyoncé. This entire verse is clearly a Drake diss.
America Has a Problem Remix
https://preview.redd.it/41ncfnysbp1d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=4f1ba1948e5a70de84ac6b88fea298655a8ab95f
"Geeked up, choosy love, well, they chose violence
Universal, please don't play possum
I'm a businessman doin' as follows
Truthfully, I be lyin' in my rap song
'Cause I always fail to mention I'd slap homie
His career didn't come with no life insurance
Hope his day-one fans got some facts on him."
He calls out Universal (UMG), saying he’s just a businessman doing as he chooses. He states that he’s lying in songs because he fails to mention he’ll slap somebody. He states that this person's career didn’t come with life insurance and hopes his day-one fans have some facts on him. He’s clearly referring to Drake here.
"Them diamonds don't be fly, they all CGI
You better get it off your chest like breast reduction
If she stressed over you, she stressed for nothin'."
In these lines, he calls Drake's diamonds fake and states that Drake should get it off his chest like breast reduction. He’s mocking his surgery yet again. Then the “if she stressed over you, she stressed for nothing” is a subliminal towards Drake’s latest album before this track, "Her Loss," stating that it’s not her loss since if she’s stressed over Drake, she isn’t stressed for anything.
Next, he says:
"Even AI gotta practice clonin' Kendrick
The double entendre, the encore remnants
I bop like ten men, the opps need ten men."
During the time when this track came out, there was AI Drake music blowing up. Kendrick is saying that even AI needs to practice to clone him, using a double entendre to imply he’s unmatched. He is saying the opps “need ten men” aka the ghostwriters, he is calling Drake easily replaceable. Now onto The Hillbillies.
The Hillbillies
https://preview.redd.it/5ugsqc2wbp1d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=fac50b242aec856fea19f304ff08264c94d460c9
"The Hillbillies" was released on May 30, 2023. The entire track is completely different from the music that Kendrick normally makes. It’s a track where he’s flexing, and it’s over a club-inspired beat and flow. Baby Keem even called it a “Sticky” remix. So this track is basically Kendrick saying that he can do what Drake did on "Honestly, Nevermind," but better.
First, let’s look at the title of the track. It is called “The Hillbillies.”
On "Sticky," Drake says that he’s:
"King of the hill, you know it's a steep one."
Drake calls himself the king of the hill, Kendrick & Keem call themselves the Hillbillies, you get it.
Now let’s look at some lines in the track:
"Messi, get them girls off the stage, 'cause somebody's gonna get taken
Somebody's gonna invade on a one-on-one conversation
I'm ducked off from the world, I'm immersed in the PlayStation."
This is a direct response to "Sticky" when Drake says:
"Ayo Eric, bring them girls to the stage
'Cause somebody's getting paid."
Throughout this entire track, Kendrick and Keem are mocking Drake and his flow on "Sticky," showcasing they can do anything he can do and better. They’re rapping about the things he’ll rap about. Also what I find interesting about the music video is that they have Tyler in it and announce that they will be headlining Camp Flog Gnaw in the video, where Drake famously got booed off stage. Could be a reach but still.
In July a month after this track, Drake on stage during his tour said “he is not like those rappers who disappear for 4 or 5 years”. So another subliminal towards Kendrick.
Meltdown
https://preview.redd.it/spcuz8zybp1d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=8d636950b1706368297a514c110e1a4351f06ded
Drake responds to the disses on "Meltdown," which was released two months later on Travis Scott’s album. While this verse is mainly about Kanye/Pusha, I also think it can relate to Kendrick as well.
"I love to fuck on a regular bitch
Famous hoes lame, but they stay on my dick
Heard your new joint, it's embarrassing, shit."
On "Hillbillies," Kendrick/Keem rap about wanting a regular girl instead of a famous girl, and on "Meltdown," Drake says the same thing, also calling their new stuff embarrassing.
"Your bodyguard put in some work on a fluke
Now you wanna go and inherit that shit
Don't talk to
the boy 'bout comparisons, shit
Or come to the boy on some arrogant shit."
More bodyguards talk, and he’s telling people not to compare him to anybody. We all know who he really means.
“I melt down the chains that I bought from yo' boss
Give a fuck about all of that heritage shit.”
Kendrick directly responds to this, saying he inherited the beef from Pharrell since Drake was disrespecting him. Now here’s where I think it gets obvious. On the second verse, Travis says:
"The boy going Lionel Messi, I go Tom Brady (Woo)."
In the track "The Hillbillies," Keem is calling Kendrick Messi and himself Neymar. Now in this track, which comes out two months later, Drake is comparing himself to Messi.
Also he says in this song "You act like you love this American shit, but really the truth is you scared of the 6" which could be a response to the title "America Has a Problem", this might be a reach though.
First Person Shooter
https://preview.redd.it/emn9lgd2cp1d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc52eeee5b1834f392c657c306dff32dab17746a
After "Meltdown," we get "First Person Shooter," which we all know ignited this beef even further. I have a theory about this track, though. I believe that Drake originally sent Kendrick the track to hop on, but Kendrick denied the feature request. I think the original "First Person Shooter" was going to feature Drake, Cole, and Kendrick rapping over the first beat of the song. I believe the beat switch was made after Kendrick denied the feature request, and Drake added it later. This is why Kendrick says on his diss tracks:
"Surprised you sent that feature request, you know we got some shit to address" and "Did Cole foul, I don’t know why you still pretending."
Drake wanted to squash the subliminal beef he had with Kendrick with the feature request, and when Kendrick denied it, he thought it was real beef.
Look at the second half of "FPS":
"My youngins richer than you rappers and they all stream
I really hate that you been sellin' them some false dreams
Man, if your pub was up for sale, I buy the whole thing
Will they ever give me flowers? Well, of course not
They don't wanna have that talk, 'cause it's a sore spot
They know The Boy, the one they gotta boycott
I told Jimmy Jam I use a GRAMMY as a door stop."
Drake gets way more aggressive in the second half of the track and states that Kendrick is selling people false dreams, he is broke, they won't give him his flowers, he is at the top, and that he doesn't care about GRAMMYs (which is what Drake mocks Kendrick for in "Family Matters").
Then he says:
"What the fuck, bro? I'm one away from Michael
N***, beat it, n****, beat it, what?"
He compares himself to Michael Jackson and even says he will beat his record, which Kendrick directly responds to in "Like That." At the end of the track, Drake says: "Don't even pay me back on none of them favors, I don't need it."
We know that Drake feels like he put on Kendrick and that Kendrick would be nowhere without him, so he rubs that in his face. This verse is where I think Kendrick really took it as a threat rather than just the big three line. That was a part of it, but I think this is what really set Kendrick off. Also interestingly in this video Drake recreates the Messi/Ronaldo picture with J. Cole and compares himself to Messi AGAIN.
Another thing, in the second verse Drake says:
“I click the trigger on the stick like a high beam”
So in Like That when Kendrick says “if he walk around with that stick, it ain’t Andre 3k” it could be reffering to this line as well since that track is a direct response to this song. At first most people thought the stick line was about Cole but we know Kendrick calls out Drake for acting tough later on, so it could be a response to this line as well.
Red Button
https://preview.redd.it/y8zhrmr5cp1d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=6d40f3c901c2afecd20743066c736c3f29e2a6ba
A month after this track, Drake releases “Red Button” on "Scary Hours 3," and I also think this is about Kendrick Lamar (and Kanye, but we are focusing on Dot here).
This entire track, Drake is warning people that if he presses his red button, it will be over for certain people. This red button thing obviously refers to Kendrick since during their diss tracks, Drake was constantly talking about pushing the red button and posting images of red buttons.
“N**** think it's sweet, but I am not a diabetic patient
No, I will start blackin' over here like it's segregation
I will fuckin' double-cross you n**** like it's meditation
I'll give you a hard pill to swallow, this your medication
I will fuckin' pop up on your ass like a revelation
I could tell you better than I show you, this a demonstration
I will fuckin' leave you in the dirt like some vegetation
Chemicals is mixin' in my brain and killin' hesitation
I will fuckin' force a few shots like a vaccination
I'll get to you ten years from now like procrastination
I'll fuckin' find out wherever y'all are celebratin'
Pull up, park my Phantom on the curb like I'm Larry David
And then we'll see who's really crazy”
I have a feeling this is about Kendrick specifically based on the words he’s choosing to talk about, like segregation and procrastination. Things that he makes fun of Kendrick for in his latest disses.
After this we know what happens, Kendrick responds on Like That and the beef really ignites with the diss tracks coming out.

🔗3-in-1 Jensen Turntable CD Radio, Cassette and AM/FM Stereo Speakers

​
https://preview.redd.it/93f0rvoybp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6cc66784b8e895a25a65dcc03e6a6e8873367b89
I recently got the Jensen 3-speed turntable CD radio, cassette, and AM/FM set and I can't express how happy I am with my purchase. I remember using my dad's old turntable and the nostalgia it brings back is just priceless. This one is a modern twist to the classic turntable - it plays not only vinyl records but also CDs and cassettes. Plus, it has an AM/FM tuner so I can listen to my favorite radio stations.
What I love about this product is that it is versatile. The turntable allows me to play 3-speed records, which gives me a variety of options. The CD player accepts both regular and rewriteable discs, while the cassette deck, although it looks a bit fragile, still works perfectly fine. This device also comes with features such as repeat of songs and tracks, skip/search forward and backward and random play.
The blue back-lit LCD display and programmable memory adds a nice touch to the whole setup. It's super user-friendly; even my grandma could figure it out! And let's not forget about the stereo headphone jack, perfect for those late-night listening sessions without disturbing anyone.
However, one downside I noticed is that the build quality isn't top-notch. It feels a bit plasticky and might not hold up over time. Another thing is that the speakers lack bass. But hey, considering how affordable this product is, these are minor quibbles.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a nostalgic music player that combines old school charm with modern convenience, the Jensen 3-speed turntable CD radio, cassette, and AM/FM set is definitely worth checking out. Just remember to handle it with care due to its somewhat delicate build.

One of the standout features of this turntable is its anti-resonance, die-cast aluminum platter.

I love how the included Pick it PRO Special Edition delivers the rich sound expected from a Dark Side Of The Moon turntable, which is enhanced by the dimmable LED rainbow backlight.
However, there have been some hiccups along the way. One issue was the subpar power supply provided, which caused a buzzing noise in the speakers. I had to purchase an additional alim with a terrestrial to resolve this problem, adding extra expense to an already hefty price tag.
Another minor inconvenience was the non-included prism element from the video promotional material, an optional accessory that costs another 100€. It wasn't mentioned in the initial purchase, which caught me off guard.

Buyer's Guide

When looking for a clear record player, several important factors should be considered. The quality and performance of such a device depend on some key aspects. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you make the right purchasing decision:

Sound Quality

​
https://preview.redd.it/66szut88cp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1717a901ece419e23baea7b6bfb112b434cdbb26
It goes without saying; sound quality should be the primary concern when buying a record player. The device should have high-fidelity audio capabilities, ensuring that your vinyl record collection sounds fantastic. This usually depends on the quality of the internal components such as cartridges and styluses, the turntable's speed settings, and the build quality of the unit. If you're someone who values rich and warm vinyl sound, pay attention to these details.

Design and Durability

The design and durability of your chosen record player are also important. A sturdy built record player is less likely to suffer from mechanical issues down the line. Look for options with solid hardwood or metal chassis, which not only add to the aesthetics but also increase the longevity of the device. A sleek and minimalistic design can also add to the ambiance of your living space.

Additional Features

Consider whether your desired record player comes with additional features that might aid your listening experience. For instance, is there a built-in pre-amplifier and phono stage? These can provide a more seamless way of hooking up your device to your home audio system. Additionally, some models may include USB or Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to digitize your vinyl records or stream music from your phone or tablet.

Brand Reputation

Always take into account the reputation of the brand when purchasing a record player. Brands with a proven track record of quality, durability, and after-sales service are usually a safer bet. Doing some research about the brand's customer reviews or seeking recommendations from vinyl enthusiasts can be very helpful in this regard.

Budget

Finally, always consider your budget. Record players can vary significantly in price based on their features, quality, and brand. There are many great options available at every price point, and it's crucial to find something that fits your needs and can provide years of satisfaction.
In conclusion, when purchasing a clear record player, focusing on sound quality, design and durability, additional features, brand reputation, and your budget can help you find the perfect device for your needs. By considering these factors, you can ensure a vinyl listening experience that is both rewarding and enjoyable.

Hi. My name is Jenny. Found this painting at a large garage sale that was funding a church youth group in Southern Louisiana, an hour south of New Orleans. Don't know much about it other than that the name of the artist is Crawford and that it is signed "Crawford 78"; there is a diamond shape around the capital letter C of the artist's name, the size of the frame is 40x30x2, and on the back of the frame is the name "Fredrix" with the number "24" stamped next to it, "Royal," "Frame-Tex," "Hecho in Mexico," and "24x36." I researched as much as I could, even into Fredrix, which appears to be a frame and canvas manufacturer. Reverse searching the painting brings up nothing, and neither does the image of the signature, which is unique as far as I can tell. I've looked into any artists with the last name Crawford and cannot find any that have similar paintings or signatures. It might just be a local artist, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
