Glad to see another fellow coal region native here.  Been living in California since 2013 but I miss the food and drink and have introduced it to many folks here.  I have friends of Mexican descent and they have said that boilo reminds them a bit of ponche.

We just never added the alcohol until everything else was cooked down in a crock pot.

What’s American about it is that the coal region of eastern PA had “white ethnic” folks as fairly recent immigrants throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, but the communities were small enough that, at least food-wise, it really was a melting pot.  I grew up eating kielbasa and pierogies and halushki and…

Yes, otherwise it leaves a bitter taste.

I mean, even if you were offering up your body, you’d be renting it out, not selling it, since you still have it afterwards.

It sounds like, from the article, that the story in this “remake” is based on something else than the original movie. I would guess they’ll keep the overall aesthetic, the lead character’s persona, and probably have a similar car chase, but ditch most of the rest of the original story beats.

He isn’t going to make it back.  He said he was going to make a small fortune with Twitter.  It just so happens that he started with a large fortune.

I don’t disagree, but I’m still waiting to hear of a better one.  I’d be curious to know what countries with comprehensive government retirement plans invest the money in.  I suspect it’s also in the stock market.

Stan Smiths?  Adidas makes American Dad themed shoes?

Okay, but people seem to forget that the biggest shareholders of many companies are mutual funds and index funds that underpin pretty much everyone’s retirement plan, should they have one. Even defined benefit pensions invest their money in companies and need growth in order to keep the pensions funded. A great…

I doubt streaming services, let alone cable, is covered by this.  Pretty sure the FCC doesn’t have jurisdiction over either; just over-the-air TV.

She’s 62 and to me looks like she could play 55.  Plenty of early-40s women have been having kids over the last 20 years.  Hell, my grandmother was 39 when she had my uncle, and that was in 1959, and that was unintentional!

So what happened?

Here’s my issue - my wife and I make within 15% of each other, and both are healthy salaries, but neither of us could really afford our home with only one of us working. To be clear, our mortgage is about 30% of our *net* monthly pay put together, so we’ve got it better than a lot of folks. That said, realistically,…

“Main character on Twitter,” which is something you never want to be.

See, this is my problem with the idea that you should cast someone with a primary eye to them being the “right” body type/sexual preference/whatever.  I agree that we need more diversity in casting, but Christian Bale simply *was* Dick Cheney in Vice.  Say what you want about that movie but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen…

They don’t have a course of action, but aside from an emergency, they also legally can choose not to treat her.

He’s such a tool, snarkily burying the lede that this law EXISTS because of shows like Transformers. I *clearly* recall Transformers toys being advertised at commercial breaks during the Transformers cartoon, and this isn’t the Mandela Effect because I saw some old VHS recordings of the show with the commercials…

I don’t recall any reporting on who called the police.  If they were loudly fighting, a neighbor may have called.

Reposting here as it’s probably of more interest on an actual Archer article:
