Well, in the true spirit of multiculturalism, I cooked a Vietnamese main course for them the first time that they came over, but ended up making a Mexican creamed corn as a side. Their daughter loved the corn so much that her mother had to get the recipe from me!

That made my day.

So here is my go-to sous-vide meat recipe right now. I will get sick of it eventually, but it is relatively simple. I have made barbecue pork ribs before, which are wonderful, and smoked beef brisket, which is also wonderful, but both are a bit more work. I had some boneless country-style beef ribs sitting around,…

And I was already depressed enough today. Thanks.

“Fusion reached out to Vasiliades for comment, and will update this story if and when he responds.”

Well, I got there later; it would have been even lower down if I had been the one to do it. But that does not change the fact that no one else championed it before either of us. . .

Came here to post that, and had to scroll way, way down before I found someone else who did, so evidently we have a minority opinion on that one. But that is a very, well, driving, driving song. . .

A good rule of thumb whenever anything — media outlet, sporting institution or other — portrays itself as an underdog, is to check who is holding the pink slip.

The real hilarity is that Fox somehow still thinks that it is not a part of the mainstream media. Sorry, but if you are a major network, owned by a corporation, you are as mainstream as it comes. Breitbart can still be considered outside the mainstream — though our media landscape is changing enough that traditional…

Not even 36% of Americans know where America is, so should we be surprised about North Korea?

Leviticus 19 also has another one that I like mentioning every time someone gets hung up on the preceding chapter:

As a member of the human race, I have to say:

Or, in our state, banning all local municipalities from charging fees for plastic bag usage. Even better, setting levy caps and then cutting shared transportation & education funding. By state law now, you basically have to let your infrastructure rot, regardless of whether or not the locals are fine with paying…

We shall see if Trump can break President Obama’s record of having prosecuted more people (mostly whistleblowers) under the Espionage Act than all other previous administrations combined. Granted, that means that Obama raised the bar, so Trump has his work cut out for him. . .

Also in a return to the original Deus Ex, you can use the number pad for keypads in the game. Typing in 0451 brought all the memories back.

This. I love quest markers, because they tell me where not to go. Drain the rest of the map first, then eventually meander your way over to where the game wanted you to go in the first place.

Among other things, the two R2s that you show side-by-side are not the same R2s. Any movie like this has multiple filming models used for different purposes. When the third leg is retracted as on the left, that is the suit worn by Kenny Baker. When the leg is out, that is the radio controlled version. They are…

Sounds interesting. There are too few RPGs out there that are willing to stay in the mundane. But there are plenty of good stories to be told in the “real world.”

As a Vikings fan, I approve this post.
