  1. Why are we trading Giannis? Is this tanking?
  2. I am as pro diversity as anyone you could ever meet. That said, honest question, do black people even understand what the hell is going on in the Sprite joy to the world/glow up/what is you doing commercial? I am so confused.
  3. Yuck. I should probably sit out a couple of days so I don't go on tilt.
  4. No spoilers but right now this is the best show ever in the history of the world. Fuck the haters.
  5. Is this where we bitch about bad beats? Feel like I've had two all timers in the past two days. At least yesterday was light. Mavs Knicks. Luka with 11 and 3 boards at halftime. I play a lot of player props and Luka has been piling up second half rebounds. I bet over 24.5 2h points + rebounds. Knicks lead by 1 at half. Mavs come out on fire, Luka scores 19 in the quarter and adds 5 boards. He rests to start the 4th as Dallas built a 19 point lead. With him on the bench it balloons to 30 and he never plays again. Today, going to the Lions game with my nephews. I texted my buddy that has Etienne in his FF league. What do you think his o/u is for Receiving yards? He guesses 40. Nope it's 12.5. His splits look great when healthy to beat that #. I'm thinking it's a mistake almost. I put $400 on it. I think the third play from scrimmage is a screen pass to Etienne for 13. Same drive he adds another catch for 4 yards. Jags suck all day and can't move the ball. With the game approaching out of reach status in the early 4th on a must have 3rd or 4th and 5 they throw a flare to Etienne. Loss of 5. Doesn't play again. 3 catches, 12 yards, long of 13.
  6. "You think anyone really gives a shit about what your major is? English literature, biology, whatever. The whole point of a college degree is to show a potential employer that you showed up some place, four years in a row, completed a series of tasks reasonably well and on time, so if they hire you there's a semi decent chance that you'll show up there every day and not fuck his business up." "That's what you think college is all about?" "That and drinking beer and getting laid" Damn. Fucking brilliantly said.
  7. Man I was trying to figure that out. I thought it was the bar owner girl from Ozark and couldn't figure out why IMDb was lying to me. Also easy call out if you follow Sly on IG/Twitter was that the server at the restaurant in the beginning of E3 when he sees the white horse is one of his daughters.
  8. It tastes so good when it hits your lips
  9. I made 2 giant stock pots of turkey stock tonight. Seems excessive. I am frankly exhausted after spending the past ~ 2 hours picking meat out of the bones. What is this life.
  10. I appreciate the big breast energy up in here. My bird was juicy as all hell but I've got to tell you guys I think my taste buds have changed since I lost weight. I'm not sure I love smoked turkey anymore. I didn't eat that much and I was good with that. Everyone said it was the best one yet, though so shrug. I will see what I think of the oven roasted breast tomorrow if my mother in law doesn't cook it to 200 degrees (she will).
  11. Looks great! 10 sticks of butter in here.
  12. Bird on
  13. This page is a mess, scroll about 2/3 down for the recipe card, but this is what I used for the giblet gravy. It thickened up nicely and looks great. Sorry no pics https://www.thefreshcooky.com/giblet-turkey-gravy/
  14. Jesus man butter is crazy expensive right now. It's the one thing a forgot and had to make a run, it's like $6 for a box of 4 sticks Kroger brand. I bought 6 lbs because I didn't want to skimp. 😂 Yes I sarcastically blamed the President to my 10 year old and yes she understood but some of the people around me may not have and shot me a dirty look. Turkey stock for giblet gravy currently in fridge. I still have to make a roux tonight, sigh.
  15. No expertise on a dry brine in terms of time. Scroll back in this thread and find my bump from last year with the Serious Eats/Kenji article about brining. One note in the future if you wet brine make sure you pat it very dry with paper towels and let it rest uncovered for at least 24h in the fridge.
  16. I got my guys out of the juice this morning. Patted dry and chilling. And the Griswold family tree has been procured. LFG
  17. What the fuck surly. It's Thanksgiving Eve and no 🦃 talk to speak of.
  18. Sounds Haggis approved
  19. Give me 2 years and I'll sell you mine. You gotta pick it up, though.
  20. Part of my hesitation - I don't really know. I started doing this because it seemed dumb not to. I'm spending the money anyway. I am probably going to try to put together a 4-5 day trip to Orlando in Jan/Feb. I also will plan a bigger trip in the summer. I want to try to pull off Hawaii or maybe something in the Caribbean. I'm not sure if I should take what I've got and try to use it for a petty Orlando trip or something bigger.
  21. New to this. I've got a toe in the water but I'm a little tepid on it because it seems like a lot to learn and my plate is always pretty full. I signed up for the Chase Sapphire Preferred on the advice of someone and did the thing where I met the minimum spend, referred my wife, and she met the minimum spend so now sitting on 150k points there. Also have a bunch of points in my US Bank Flex Rewards account. Is there a website or resource out there that shows you the best exchange/transfer programs for each card? I also need to figure out what my next card should be and if I am understanding the game correctly I want to find one that partners with my preferred travel brands, right? Thanks in advance for any general advice.
  22. It's actually a pretty brilliant display of laziness. It was windy. Gorilla tape makes a more convenient paperweight than it does an adhesive.
  23. Annual tomfoolery
  24. I loved this episode and I'm in 💯 now. The weed scenes were hilarious and Sly was either definitely high or he's a much better actor than I had given him credit for. After watching the final scenes in this episode I'm thinking definitely the former. But this show is fun and interesting and good and I'm going to watch it until it is revealed that Dwight's daughter is a confidential fbi informant and it gets stupid like The Old Man.
