  1. I bumped up against this last night. We had a skillet of bacon grease we had used to cook, um, bacon, and a bunch of fried eggs. So the grease was contaminated with egg stuff, so maybe we can't put it in the jar with the clean bacon grease. Yes there is such a thing as clean bacon grease. So instead, i fried pork chops in it, and made gravy. God was pleased.
  2. The other reason to use an individual Roth IRA is that with a Roth 401K, you can’t pull out any funds until you’re 59.5, unlike a regular Roth IRA. So your Roth 401K earnings are tax free, but you can’t access the principal.
  3. I love crawfish too, but shit you can get good sized fresh Texas gulf shrimp at HEB for $8 lb or less.
  4. Yes. The bombing of civilian apartment buildings and infrastructure is no different than terrorists flying planes in to office buildings, it’s just on a different scale. Both are terrorism and both are unacceptable. Openly give Ukraine the ability to finish off the Kerch bridge and any railways/highways entering their country from Russia or Belarus. We don’t need any further justification.
  5. Don’t put white rocks in your front yard landscaping.
  6. These plus pimento cheese is bliss.
  7. Defunded law enforcement. (Sarcasm meter) FIFY.
  8. Dude, you have no idea how long I searched for what that can of goodness was called. I couldn’t find it. I loved those things. It came up because my brother and I were laughing about the time I got an ass whooping from my grandma, because she caught me in her pantry with a can of those tilted up to my face like an alkie with a bottle of Old Crow. Ate half the can.
  9. On a serious note, if he is innocent it should be fairly straightforward for a decent computer forensics lawyer/firm to confirm what actually happened, or didn’t happen. Yeah it would suck to be falsely accused and have to spend the money defending yourself, but it seems like it shouldn’t be hard to prove if all he did was receive an unsolicited email and click on an attachment.
  10. I bet that crazy chick Sally stole it, and the first chance it got it ran right back to the zoo.
  11. Wait, wait, wait! Kevin Morgan, the Eskimo Hut and Shaggytexas thief is now homeless??? Awesome!
  12. It's based on a government study that determined gas stoves contribute to asthma/lung problems in children, particularly in houses with poor ventilation (and in areas where other pollution is bad), meaning it affects poor and minorities more than others. As a result, the govt. is looking at possibly phasing them out and I think maybe offering rebates to replace them with electric. Somehow that got morphed into being reported as a "gas stove ban".
  13. Not having a voice is actually funny, these morons are showing their junk.
  14. There’s the thing. I used to not really care about myself, or my wife, and once the kids were grown it was kinda like what’s the point? But then I got myself I grandson and man, he holds me accountable. The worst thing in life would be to disappoint him because of alcohol.
  15. Good advice, and also applies if your vehicle is wrecked. My daughter got her car totaled by someone running a stop sign, I still got toll charges on it afterwards.
  16. why is there not a Mercedes in this story?
  17. You know what's not funny? Watching people get laid off and/or their families getting similarly fucked, because of this dysfunction. Not funny at all, and the "Repuglicans" or "ConservaKKKS", I blame 100%. Fucking bastards. There are a ton of us out here that could make a difference in helping people get by. These fuckers like Chip Roy are just assholes. Fuck those guys.
  18. In particular: As of the 3rd quarter of calendar year 2022, actual inflation has exceeded what was expected by 9 percentage points since inflation began to rise in January 2021. From Fiscal Years (FY) 2021 to 2023, the total loss of buying power to the Department of Defense (DoD) from this unexpected inflation will exceed $110 billion dollars. Why we (and others care) is that this shortfall arrives at a potentially very dangerous time as we try to fund Ukraine, and deal with China, etc. – all the while the defense industrial base still suffers from COVID-19, supply chain, and workforce challenges, etc. Left unaddressed, DoD will, of course, continue to see issues with maintenance, cost overruns, lower readiness, etc. Congress knows all of this and have heard it all year – and Dr. LaPlante (Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment) never followed up on specific guidance on what relief would be given. (Our educated guess on good sources is that he was counseled to punt, and let Congress give the initial guidance and instructing DoD to put a finer point on it 90 days after.) Hence, Section 822 (attached) was placed in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 or FY23 NDAA. The NDAA has been passed by both the House and the Senate, and President Biden should sign it within the week. Obviously, I am no lawyer, and I am unsure how the amount changes impacts anyone directly, but Sec. 822 “Modification of Contracts to Provide Extraordinary Relief Due to Inflation Impacts” should (should) provide some relief for contractors and subcontractors in fixed price contracts that are working to navigate contractual requirements under significantly increased inflationary and supply-chain pressures. The below was gathered/collated from reading Sec. 822 and several other reference sources – but I would respectfully recommend putting your expert eye to it Matt for a closer look. When enacted (I don’t think there is any real risk of POTUS not signing it) Section 822 will amend Title 50 to provide “extraordinary contractual relief” in several ways, including by increasing the approval and Congressional notification thresholds to $500,000 and $150,000,000, respectively. Notably, the new language makes clear that relief will be available to contractors and subcontractors and without additional consideration. Section 822 also provides that authority under the section begins when the law is enacted - and ends on December 31, 2023.
  19. Serious question, does any of it really matter if it can’t pass the senate?
  20. Have you ever seen those pictures from Woodstock of people rolling around in their own muddy shit and claiming it was the greatest thing ever? If so, these are those same people and this is a rerun.
