  1. Man, here’s how it is: you can have a house with a sex dungeon in it, or you can have a sex dungeon that you live in. Make the right choice.
  2. Except…which fast food chain hasn’t?
  3. Financial reports from places like Chipotle and Cava tells us that the economic issues having broader impacts on restaurants is a growing thing. We’re going to see more chains in real trouble. Except Arby’s, which is immortal.
  4. We’ve spent the last 20 years with a shitload of people telling us ā€œTHE REASON WE HAVE A SECOND AMENDMENT IS TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE AGAINST A VIOLENT OPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT!ā€ Fucking hell. Turns out they were right. Except it also turns out that they were much more interested in BEING the violent, oppressive government than protecting the people from it.
  5. If that happens, we’re done. We don’t have a viable opposition party.
  6. Just saw this. My ā€œsecretā€ for a great green chili stew: use Herdez tomatillo salsa verde for half your liquid. It’s got salt in it, so be light on your salt until you taste at the end. I brown pork, then sautee onions and garlic. Use salsa and chicken stock for your liquid. Simmer till pork is tender. Add as much green chili as you like, simmer a bit to blend. Maybe add a little comino, salt as needed. If you’re adding a starch like potatoes or hominy, do so and simmer appropriately. It’s a cold weather go-to for us. And chicken thighs will work too.
  7. Maybe that was suggested because w open you can get blue corn tortillas in Sam Diego. Didja think of that, smart guy?
  8. ….which is the exact ā€œnegotiationā€ position that our own POTUS is using at home, right now. So, they do speak the same language.
  9. If he’s straight…he’s gonna do just fine with the ladies.
  10. Like the microburst storm we got here in Austin earlier this year. I’ve been through hurricanes, and it looked exactly like that as it was happening.
  11. Translation: ā€œour CFO shouldn’t have said that out loud. No worries, our plan to make the US govt a completely intertwined entity with our oligarchies will continue unabated. We’ll just keep it from view, as we have been.ā€
  12. Alas, she’s back in Germany. But apparently…she’s coming to Scotland for a visit soon. This is his first serious girlfriend. We’ll see how it goes. He’s had an amusing time introducing her to Mexican and American food. He took her on a date to a real-deal bbq restaurant in Frankfurt (we got a brisket from there last year, and he was legit), and she loved it. But she also couldn’t figure out the right way to eat a pop-tart, so…it’s a process.
  13. Condemning as ā€œnot a good humanā€ā€¦.Joyce. Carol. Oates. Imagine being the kind of person who actually says that. I read another comment on that original post commenting on how sad, pathetic, and awful the lives of many of these billionaires (particularly the latest wave of tech billionaires, like Zuck, Musk, and Thiel) actually are. I mean, just imagine if somehow YOU had Elon’s money, and what you would do with it, and with your life. You could find joy. You could live a life of kindness and generosity. Dear God, if you gave me $500 billion…the hunger I could end, the basic medical care I could fund. Work with USAID as a force multiplier. And yes, I’d fish, and hunt…with my friends, and with people who otherwise wouldn’t have had access to them (pet cause for me: funding access to the outdoors). These people aren’t doing that. They are chasing being gods. And the saddest thing is that is unreachable. They will die having fallen way short of the only goal they’ve ever had. It’s truly a pathetic existence. I have .000001% of Elon’s money….but I have a woman who loves me for real, I have a relationship with my kids, I pursue activities that bring me happiness, I give of my time and treasure to people and my community, and find satisfaction in that. He is infinitely wealthier than me. I am infinitely richer than him. Ultimately, he’s chosen to be a tragic, pathetic figure…and to harm humanity in the process.
  14. How are they different than the regular ā€œyou bakeā€ corn tortillas? Because those seem to turn out fine? Or…just get fresh corn tortillas from most any Mercado?
  15. ā€œStupid kitchen shit I did while drunk/highā€ is 1) awesome and 2) independent thread worthy, methinks. We all have such stories. Perhaps multiple.
