At what point are we just going to fucking call a spade a spade and say that Pelosi, Hoyer, Schumer and the rest are full of shit and all their quasi-tough talk about holding Trump and Co. accountable is at best empty posturing to keep their die-hard supporters appeased/stave off primary challengers and at worst is…

Potential solution that gets you out of there without ratting out your server: the ol’ tried and true fake phone call emergency. Have someone else at your table discretely ring your phone with theirs, fake answer it, ‘Oh god? Really? We just sat down but we’re coming RIGHT NOW!’ apologize profusely, leave the waitress…

Remind me again why we ever thought Pelosi should have gotten the Speaker Job back? Has anyone reminded her that pithy one-liners during a pre-conference do not carry the force of law?

Some of the ‘millenials are the worst’ shit that gets thrown around is truly dumb-ass ageism, but at the same time, I’m on board in that there does seem to be an age in your early to mid-20's where a lot of people just fucking suck at their jobs. 

Honestly, most foods, when you really think about it, would have taken someone exceptionally bold/stupid/hungry to be the first person to try it. Can you imagine the first person to milk a cow? “Here, let me go grab on to the teats of this large hooved monster and tug on them and then lets drink whatever comes out”.

You jest, but yeah, that is kind of how shitty studies like this actually fucking work. 

Hmmm. Its very odd all the people that are suddenly fed up with ‘electability’ considering I remember very clearly hearing about how much Clinton was the ‘more electable’ candidate in 2016. That was one of the main talking points of the Clintonistas all through the primary. “Sander’s can’t win in the general. The…

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.
