  1. You should be able to kick someone’s ass for this type of thing. The only thing you should have to put at stake would be the other guy maybe kicking your ass, but the law should be neutral.
  2. The EO specifies development assistance which is pretty precise. USAID is going to get whacked but military aid should not. Up in the air for economic assistance sent to Ukraine via the supplemental funding package.
  3. The bear cleans up. Even if it’s a regular grizzly he’s twice as massive as the lion or gorilla, if it’s a Kodiak or Kamchatka bear it’s three times the mass. The bear has thicker skin and is stronger than all of them.
  4. These ships are stupid expensive to maintain as a museum and there are too many of them to support as tourist attractions. Brownsville does nearly all of the Navy’s ship recycling and the JFK will be the sixth carrier. Good jobs for the region and it’s being done safely. It’s kind of a cool industry to have and if you time it right you can see lots of interesting floating history coming through.
  5. Renaming the Gulf of Mexico deeply bothers me. I know, it seems like small potatoes. But it’s a deeply totalitarian move. It is more than just dumb, it’s an attempt to demonstrate the power to change maps, to upend language and usage, and to take over our daily speech and geography.
  6. Also in a moment of enthusiasm, he awkwardly tried to get a far-right nationalist party elected in Germany. We realize how this looks!
  7. The New York Times everyone. America’s newspaper of record.
  8. That’s just regular goulash. You can also use beef.
  9. I think I may have posted before but this is the boss of my cold weather stews. Segedin (or Szekly) goulash, a Slovak-Hungarian concoction of deep brilliance and flavor, pork slow simmered in paprika broth and finished by adding sauerkraut. The keys are: 1. Tons of good Hungarian paprika- I use 4 tablespoons per 1.5-2 pounds meet. 2. Rinse and drain the kraut before adding it to the pot for about 20 minutes. This will sit in the fridge for a while so it’s at its best. Served hot with a huge dollop of rich sour cream.
  10. Bloom the dried powder in some of the fat if you want to go that route.
  11. I’ve found that my chili doesn’t taste done without the masa harina, even if it’s thick enough. Just that hint of fresh ground corn in the bowl rounds out the whole thing.
  12. It befuddles me that you are this invested in this.
  13. An Eagles-Washington NFC title game is completely revolting and everyone involved in making this happen should be ashamed of themselves.
  14. Vivek sent out a tweet at Christmastime telling all the Trump voters that they are mediocre because they watched Saved by the Bell and had sleepovers and they all deserved to be replaced by Bangalore H1Bs. Just an unreal self-immolation.
  15. I have heard about how goombahs watch mafia movies and shows and then begin altering their own behavior to match, thereby creating a feedback loop with the entertainment industry and their depiction. I have to think lots of super rich guys like Bezos are basing their behavior on what they see “alpha” bros do online and on tv. I can say that I walk past any number of women every day I’d prefer to take yacht cruising than this gal, and I think with Bezos money it would be easy to make that happen.
  16. I am super pissed at Elon for making space exploration cringe and lame. I‘m a huge advocate for manned space flight and trying to get to Mars. It’s there, we can learn a lot, and civilizations need to be busy doing big and bold things. This colonization shit needs to stop. Earth is our home and the only one we are going to get.
  17. Welp, I think I’ve now seen the stupidest thing I’ll read today. It’s early yet though.
  18. My bad Charlwin Mao, for thinking you named your ”Little Red Book” after Mao’s “Little Red Book” when it was really named after Stanford and Bain Capital.
  19. Could be in the leopards eating faces thread since Trump has said all along he is allowed to do whatever he wants and doesn’t believe in democracy.
  20. So this bill passed committee 50-0 after legislators got classified briefs. That’s MAGA, centrists, libs, and DSA. The challenge got absolutely wiped out by SCOTUS with not a single justice agreeing with TikTok. But we’re just going to hold off on enforcing the law cause POTUS and some voters don’t like it and want their CCP curated reels. I will repeat that Americans no longer deserve to have a country.
  21. Hell yes, it was ON today. Perfect chili weather. For this one I kept @jimmyjazz’ ratios but played with the blend: anchos, guajillos, puyas, chile de arbol, and a few canned chipotles in adobo. And a can of beer to top off instead of more water. Served with cheddar cheese cornbread. The kids said it’s the best pot I’ve made, I might could use a bit more heat but am content as long as they are slurping down bowls and asking to save some for their thermoses for lunch at school.
  22. Americans have lived for so long with basically no actual predators that at this point we are like flightless birds on some uncontacted island going up to greet the guy with a club.
  23. That’s a 956 original from Imageflip, although I am sure I am not the first one to independently arrive at it.
