  1. How old? I've got an 10 year-old one of those in by cellar, sitting next to the 9 year-old Cantillon.
  2. Joe Mauer's number was retired tonight in MN. People were... festive.
  3. It is increasingly freaking me out how much Millie Bobby Brown looks like a young Elizabeth Perkins. I noticed the resemblance back in season 1 but now it's just uncanny.
  4. Twin Cities (St Paul) I know they went to college around here.
  5. Shit I'm gonna cook soon: I recently got my hands on 20lbs of cooked crawfish, left over from a boil on Saturday. I've pealed them all (and ate a bunch) and what I have left is about 2.5 lbs of meat and 6 lbs of heads for stock. What should I do with it? It's fully cooked (not par cooked like you get when you just buy tails), so I want to be careful not not to turn it in to rubber. I'll document, but need ideas.
  6. Not sure how we got halfway through Saturday but let's go! Got 5 spares on and getting a bunch of drummies prepped. How's that Brisket coming JSB?
  7. Been looking to upgrade my 13 year-old MSR Zoid 2 before I head out on a 3 week Boundary Waters trip in September. Got lucky. Just bought a brand new Copper Spur HV UL2 on auction for $175. Figure I can sell the MSR for $65-$70 and I will have bought a brand new $450 tent for about a hundred bucks. Today was a good day. Did you get a footprint for yours? I think I'd be good in terms of water protection but I worry about the durability of the material.
  8. This guy prefers pieces of asphalt and trash, but will happily settle for grass, twigs, leaves, dirt clumps, pine cones etc.
  9. Truth. I bought late last year in anticipation of this very moment. Up about 25% in 6 months. Don't know if I'll get the service though.
  10. The MPD Police Chief was forced to resign shortly after the Noor shooting. Additionally, there has been a lot of scrutiny Re: Noor's hiring and training, specifically related to claims that his unfitness to serve was ignored due to the department's desire to have a Somali Officer.
  11. It is a good thing. Of course the "black (muslim) cop, white victim" dynamic contributes. Upon some reflection, it's not the "cops are only held responsible when they're black and the victim is white" narrative that bothers me, because there's that needs to be considered. What I find perplexing is this narrative: Noor was guilty of Manslaughter (Not Murder IMO). It's ok to accept this and still be upset about injustices in prior cases. He didn't get railroaded because he's black. I was shocked when Yanez walked. He should have been convicted, and I believe that if Castille was white he wouldn't have been shot in the first place.
  12. Guilty of 3rd Degree Murder and Manslaughter. None of the "hold the police responsible" crowd seem to be particularly happy about it though. Perception (narrative) is that cops are only held responsible when they're black and the victim is white. Interesting dynamic.
  13. He's doubled in size. Cute as hell and smart as a whip, but damn is he a pain in the ass in this stage.
  14. Have I displeased you, you feckless thug?
  15. I nominate C Thomas Howell for the "No Way is that the Same Actor/Actress" thread.
  16. Anyone else think that the whole thing with the White Walkers will be resolved by the middle of the season?
  17. Yep, me too. It's actually hard to find a high end Fridge that doesn't have one. Eventually settled on a GE and are very happy with it. As for Samsung, we went with them for the Dishwasher, microwave, and range. It's only been a year but I'm very happy, particularly with the range. It's badass.
  18. It's episode by episode for me. Love the plot and the action, but the teen angst stuff isn't for me. Worth the watch over all.
