Taking this ‘study’ at face value and assuming its not a complete burning shit-pile of piss-poor methods, I wonder how much this ‘average’ is being affected by the upper-middle class and higher income brackets? Because mean averages can be skewed if there a uneven variations in the data.

A question about grape leaves: do they get harvested off of a producing grape vine? Or are their types of vines that don’t produce grapes and are grown mainly for the use of their leaves.

My wife orders CBD pills over Amazon to help her with her arthritis. According to her it works, because on the few occassions where there has been a gap in her ability to get them for a few days, she notices a difference in her pain and functioning levels. I hope they keep that shit legal. At worst, it is doesn’t do…

And another, rather artful if I may say so, shot of the carnage and aftermath:

Here’s a pic, it was a bit east of Asheville in NC on the westbound side of I-40:

Ok. my main takeaway from this is that we really really need to limit the lengths of shifts of emergency workers and police. 12+ hours on a shift is a lot for fucking anyone, let alone with people that have to respond to high-stress situations and make split second life and death decisions. Not excusing police…

“We Couldn’t License Darryl from The Walking Dead: The Video Game”

Couterpoint: This movies existence serves as proof that there are gods, but apparently of the H.P. Lovecraft variety that like to drive mankind to madness with unspeakable horrors. 

So: this is not an overturned truck per se, but while driving this morning I did see a tractor trailer that caught on fire and burned up that was apparently hauling an ass-load of watermelons. There was charred melons all across the roadway. 

You’d think it’d probably be larger. I mean, babies have to make up a certain percentage of the population probably greater than 2% and I have it on good authority not to feed babies tacos, of any variety.

Interesting, I’ll have to try it. It doesn’t typically take me an hour or better to get a good deep brown carmelization on onions on the stove though. 25-30 minutes, if you’re brave and don’t mind tending the finicky little bastards for that long. You’re right that if you go too low, it takes forever to brown (or…

This story disappoints. I was so hoping it was going to revolve around developers holding open houses with free avacado toast on hand, only to have hordes of millenials show up, eat all the damn toast, act mildly interested in buying overpriced real estate out of their budget and then skip out without buying anything. 

Glass bottles of beer or soda are also a bad idea, as they might tip over and roll super loudly down sloped floors.

I’ve probably just had crappy oysters honestly. Like I said, its not a texture or a ‘yuk raw seafood’ thing (I love sushi, even the more out-there types like uni), its just that the handful of times I’ve had raw oysters, they’ve largely not had a lot of flavor and have been rather underwhelming. I’m an east coaster…

While I’m not turned off by the texture or anything, shooting raw oysters just seems...underwhelming. Like you have to put shit on them to give them flavor and then you pretty much just slurp them down quickly. Just doesn’t seem like its worth it to me. Maybe if I had some truly good quality oysters done properly, I’d…

Did he possibly puke into a wormhole?

Same. If the bride had either explicitly decided to not bother with trying to accomodate her vegan friend or maybe simply forgot/dropped the ball, then I could understand bringing her own food. 

While I can understand the reasoning behind closing the store, I think they still should have tried to give employees more of a warning. 

“Number wuh”-*wheeze8*-“one...”

The only problem with the push to impeach is that it is like 99.9% guaranteed to fail. Does anyone honestly think that there will be enough Republicans to do an about face on Trump to get to the 2/3rds requirement needed to impeach him and remove him from office? I agree with the larger point that, far from causing a…
