  1. Question for the masses, as I am biased af and cannot answer objectively as a Celtics fan: Is Joel Embiid a Hall of Famer? Never played anywhere close to 82 games, and only 65+ 2x. Even in the 20-21 Covid season he only played 51/72. Ignoring his 1st 2 seasons w/ no games played and this current season, he's only played in 62% of the regular season for his career. If you need to play in ~80% of games today to get an award, how do you justify the HOF for someone who played so little? (I'm aware it's not an NBA award) Never so much as played in the Conf Finals, much less an NBA Finals. As far as I can tell, the only 2 players in the HOF that didn't play in a Conf Finals are Bernard King and Drazen Petrovic. Conversely, he does have an MVP trophy, was All NBA 1x, and the Basketball HOF is much more like the Hall of Pretty Good.
  2. Godspeed, all the live long day. 🀘
  3. Well, that's one I've definitely encountered. I typically just go w/ the knife. This was in April. Just got full feeling back.
  4. I just learned of the existence of Swiss style peelers in the last couple of years, so just assumed they were the outlier of the peeler world. Individual bias and whatnot. The both ways thing is pretty useless to me. So much faster to go in one direction. Never mind the safety factor - I've cut the tips off of my fingers plenty without adding an extra way to do it.
  5. Proud to say I've been at/around 195# for coming up on 90 days now. Still weighing myself every morning (came in at 194.2 today) and it's crazy to see a 4# difference on back to back days, going each way. Went above 200 (200.1) once and got as low as 192.2. As the weather gets cooler, we're going to need to hold strong! As I write this, it's all I can do to stay the course and go eat the salad I have planned for lunch vs something hearty and warm. Something about the cooler weather just invites comfort food and makes it harder to keep eating like a rabbit!
  6. This is surprisingly accurate:
  7. Is this not every peeler ever? I'm a little stunned at this conversation right now, as I've never seen a peeler that didn't do exactly this, yet it seems like this isn't a universal experience.
  8. The sticker on the tire offends him.
  9. Fuck these cunts.
  10. Dear god how I would love to see this happen.
  11. Every time! It's a 32 yr old plastic bowl - it's gonna be stained.
  12. I've got 2 that I've had for decades. Feel like that qualifies as ride-or-die. The Slap Chop is awesome. Makes quick work of jalapenos, onions, garlic, ginger. Bought this bowl when I moved out of the dorms in like 93? Maybe $5 at WalMart and I would bet I eat out of it every other day. Spoon for size context - it's probably about as big as a large pho bowl.
  13. I want the W at aggy so damn bad...
  14. I do love her, and her shit talking.
  15. I dig Sammy Obied, who is absolutely too progressive or liberal for a lot of people, but he's very smart and I enjoy how his punchlines come around well after the fact. You think he's just riffing, but he's really layering the setup. Saw him here in Austin a couple of months ago. Love them both, but what has Cooper put out in the past 5 years? Follow her on the socials and she doesn't seem to be doing anything lately.
  16. Great race overall, dumb VSC not withstanding. Bearman and Haas in P4!!
  17. I’m only on L9, but this is awesome. Lewis and Max knife fight!
  18. How perfect for Deniz to score that goal after all the nonsense of this past week. Fuck yeah 26!!

    El Arroyo used to be along my commute so occasionally I'd grab breakfast tacos from their little truck/stand out front. Only good for sustenance. I know we all look fondly upon the places we ate in college and overrate them to an extent, because of both nostalgia and naivety, but El Arroyo has sucked for decades now. I could swear it was awesome in the early 90's, but have very little confidence in myself to be right on that.
  20. Ha! That was indeed a banger, so much appreciated! Y'all scored on a pen from a weak handball call - clearly a handball, but hitting his arm from behind with zero intention. We really need to get another and take a W from this match.
