I almost feel bad now for bringing him up again and reminding someone else that that shitbag even existed. Apologies for that!

Batali’s a true scumbag, but for whatever I wasn’t overly surprised when this shitty side of him came out. He can fuck off and stay that way as far as I’m concerned.

Good catch, but yeah, I’m still more of a crispie fan and it sounds like you’re there, too. And I’m generally not a fan of food coloring, as some of that shit is still toxic and I already get enough of that crap eating processed shit (Cap’n Crunch!) anyway, so no to that whole deal as well.

I’m definitely not a good person to ask either. I’ve got about 30 hours of seat time flying egg beater Robinson R22 copters, but I honestly don’t really know much about fixed wings. I do know about prop pitch, but it’s nothing that I’ve ever messed with. My buddy has let me do a lot of the general flying during trips,…

I thought the wreaths were going to be rice crispie based, but it was the flake (and slightly inferior, imo) version. Rice Krispies seem to hold that bit of crispy crunch better, but I wouldn’t turn the flake version down either. Then again, my sanity has always been questionable at best, especially when I make my…

I didn’t think so either, as that’s more like a jet thing, but it was mentioned in the video. This confused me, too, and it’s probably complete bullshit though from that dumbass pilot’s weak excuses. I’ve seen and been in a decent amount of small to mid-sized private planes and copters (richish buddy who loves flying)…

Smoking tires seemed to indicate that the brakes were working to some degree, if not fully, but that the (probably soon-to-be former) pilot’s brain wasn’t. It was mentioned that the reverse thrusters may not have been functioning, but meh, someone effed up and it didn’t sure seem to be the fault of the person in the…

People can get weird, almost compulsive thoughts like that and it’s often almost useless to point out just how weird it is. Probably not worth the effort anyway, unless you’re going for laughs. Maybe some small, well-repressed, childhood trauma is behind it or something?

At least it can sometimes be handy when the clueless self-identify!

I’ll take ‘Shit that you probably weren’t expecting for fifty, Bob!’

It’s a surprisingly big whiff. It’s one thing to maybe end up in Vegas and caught by surprise by it being cold, but I guess he failed to do any basic research on it? 

That sucks. Were you possibly planning on going swimming in the ocean? I’ve had boogie boarding runs cut short there because I didn’t own a wet suit despite it being in the supposed warm summer months.

A foot of snow...I think I sort of remember a decent storm hitting around that time because I’m always happy when N. Az gets anything snowish. If you know where Tucson is, south of Phx, there’s a ski resort in the mountains just above it and it’s the southernmost ski resort in America and maybe N. American.

As a resident of Phoenix Hellzona, this is nothing new. The whole ‘Deserts ‘r hot, because deserts!’ thing seems to happen a fair amount. Decades ago, I had some GF’s parents come out from Long Island around this time of year and they expected warm golf weather. Oh, no. We even had a ‘cold snap’ and our normal daytime …

BANG! Soy sauce is Exactly what I said when I tried it decades ago. If you tell someone that right before they taste it, they probably won’t taste anything else.

Well, at least we know that Texas’ Iron Shield against pesky low flying helicopters is 100% effective!

‘Fixed stability’ Ummmm...nope. DLed the patch and played for about 10 minutes before crashing right in the middle of a slow aim with a tech rifle at a netrunner during the PL gig Talent Academy. Playing on a newish PS5 and haven’t had any major issues like corrupted files, but it did routinely crash every couple of…

I 100% agree! And yes, by ‘good at what they did’, they were effective at making a shit ton of money, but like you said, they had some damn good marketing behind them. They certainly hooked in my dumb, pre-teen butt.

KISS is the musical browser history that I want no one to ever see. To my 10 year-old ears and musical ‘tastes’ they were awesome. They were the first concert I went to without adult supervision (Btw, Cheap Trick was the opening band and despite not knowing who the the eff they were by name, we were shocked at how…

If maga world ever happens he’ll be released and quickly made into a Chief of Police in a major city or even a State Attorney General.
