If your family and friends are card players, check out Trickster Cards. It is ad supported, but they are pretty unobtrusive. There are quite a few different games and is cross platform friendly.  It’s allowed our Euchre league to continue through Covid!

This is an amazing photo. 

With his booster seat! Our pup would get car sick after just a few miles. Some questionable research indicated that if he could see our better he’d feel less uncomfortable. He’s now got 50+ hours under his belt and not a bit of a problem.  (and yes, we bring water...i know he looks thirsty)

Sometimes it’s not about selecting candidate A vs B, but about getting someone off their butt to vote.

Came to say this...I mean were they traveling?

My uncle was thrilled with the gift. It was only the person I purchased it from that suggested it might be seen as rude.

I was asked to track down some soju for my wife’s, uncle’s birthday a few years back. He was born in Korea but has been in the States since his early 20s.

That makes sense.

Did anyone get clarification on what they meant by “Apple TV”? I’ve become increasingly confused in this brand. Is this on the Apple TV hardware? Or the Apple TV app on devices like a Fire TV Stick? I’m sure it’s not exclusive to Apple TV+ content.

In the early 80s my dad drove a greenish Olds 88. Every summer we’d head from Chicago to Saint Louis or Wisconsin Dells. Dad would jam a kid size mattress into the backseat removing any possibility to actually sit properly, let along wear a seat belt.

I went to my neighborhood Target at lunch today. While waiting outside to enter with other masked Target goers, a guy walks by and just yells to all of us “Covid is over, open the store and enjoy your day!”

The ventilation above our stove is just the worst. It’s loud as hell and doesn’t seem to actually do anything. Replacement filters are non-existent in spite of being a name brand appliance under 5 years old. And it doesn’t actually vent anywhere...just recirculates after being “filtered”.

After hours drinks went long as we were celebrating a coworkers last day for a bit. I closed the kitchen maybe three hours ago and now we all need fried food stat.

The “egg yolk sauce” at Chicago area teppanyaki restaurants. I know it’s just mayo...I can’t reproduce it.

Interesting episode of UnderUnderstood discusses the issues with these machines and McDs corp/owners.

An excellent point.  

In college I worked at a bar and grill that served food breakfast through late night. We would bake 50-100 pounds of potatoes a day. What we baked today would be either kept in a warmer for dinner service or chilled overnight (whole) in the walk in. Morning prep would then take the cold, cooked spuds and separate them…

Delicious and famously worked in the Illinois Tollway collection baskets through the 90s!

Trader Joe’s sells a decent smokey, $20 bottle called Islay Storm. Decent, especially at this price point.  I’ll be trying this with a Coke tonight.
