And, thanks to the votes he pulled in Florida, we got Lil’ George and his Adventures in Iraq. Thanks Ralph!

Done with rice mush instead of oat mush, this is congee and is breakfast for like half the worlds population.

Agreed, but it’s a forced savings plan into an illiquid, tax-disadvantaged, volatile investment. Remember that payments to principle aren’t tax deductible, and that while you pay capital gains if you make money on a house, you can’t use capital losses if a house goes down to offset other gains. Housing can be very…

Amen! Plus putting everything into your house means you have total exposure to one local real estate market, and all your assets are non-liquid. Take that extra $300 a month and plow it into an IRA. 70 year old you will say thanks.

Why would I want to? I have a 30yr fixed at 3.6%. I can either put more cash into the house, making my portfolio 100% local real estate based (bad idea), or take that money to the broader investment market and make (conservatively) 5-10% on it, have it in a much more liquid form, and end up with a much more diverse…

With rates down in low single digits on 30yr loans, I'd never take a 15. Take the extra cash and drop it into long term investments instead. If you plow everything into your house you have a very non-diverse asset base, if the real estate market drops you're screwed. Historically you'll get 5-7% a year with a balanced…

Cojita is the bomb for sprinkling on top, like grated Parmesan on Italian food. Try to find Oaxaca cheese, melty gooey tangy oh god give me more now

Agree on the New Testament stuff, but Leviticus was in Hebrew & is quite clear. There are some folks who have made astounding mental gymnastics to explain it away, but I’ve never seen a serious scholarly interpretation that repudiates the normal translation of “ two men who lie together as they would with a woman make…

Which translation of Leviticus 20:13 would you prefer? I haven’t seen a broadly accepted English translation of that that doesn’t end up requiring death for homosexual acts.

Feels like we’re caught in a landslide

Never seen crumbs left over before?

No, but you gotta figure ESPN will be maxing out the schadenfreude on sports center.

On a golf course. Bloody Mary on the warmup plus a 12 pack of beer starting at your 6:30 tee time.

You can make a killer grilled pineapple on an indoor grill— make rings out of a fresh pineapple, melt a couple tbsp butter. Mix a teaspoon or two of brown sugar into the melted butter along with one (seriously, just one) drop of liquid smoke, spread onto the pineapple and grill on an indoor electric grill until you…

Methylene chloride or chloroform, works like a charm. It helps if you're a chemist who has them around the lab. Otherwise expect a visit from the DEA when you try to buy some.

Except without the real world shooting part.

They'll have to make sure the cars belonging to the truly influential families are removed and the kids released to parents b/f they can do that. Otherwise somebody important might get embarrassed.

Jeezus. I'm originally from KS, these days I'm wishing I could amend my birth certificate to be from someplace else.

Also digging into the article, one of the most frequent brand/issue combinations is the check engine light on the jag, which seems wrong to me— it only happens once, first time the car is started, and then it never goes off :)

Also no Jaguar? I can assure you from personal experience, it's not absent because of being cheaper than Toyota.....
