@Rainman said in Words From Newt: @Jolly said in Words From Newt: Again, shitheads, politics is the art of the possible. You can cut or not. It's a binary choice. I must be missing something, Jolly is never (or at least hardly ever) so rude to the general members of the forum. Are you OK, man? Quite fine. I'm not in the mood for idiocy. And this is shear idiocy. In politics, you take what you can get, when you can get it. Right now, leverage exists in order to wrangle some spending cuts. Nail Biden's hide to the wall and get your cuts. Never look a gift horse in the mouth. The rest of this harumph!, harumph!, is just horseshit. Smoke and policy mirrors. People complaining if you hung them with a new rope type of stuff. Oh, but in the first reign of the Sun King a shadow was cast on the Eastern-most sundial kinda stuff. Water under the bridge. Sound and fury, signifying nothing. This is politics and it plays by its own rules. People (mostly Dems) didn't understand when Trump threw off the remark the other night about leverage over the default. What he was saying, is that it's politics and you take advantage of your negotiating positions.

Good video

Hahaha so good.

@xenon Sorry to hear. Just yesterday we got a tour of our oldest (just turned 5) kid's elementary school where she'll be going for kindergarten. Really nice school, but I did comment to a friend... I'm surprised at the BOYS and GIRLS bathrooms signs. You'd think that would be offensive by now in the Democratic Republic of Minnesota.

Saw a story about this, apparently he has stopped the protest during school bus drop off hours, but still.... seems like one of those "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" idiots.

Can we please realize LD said he beat his meat for a few minutes, rubbed it, then spent 10 minutes until he was done? Honestly that's 9 minutes longer than I expected, so I applaud his efforts. Seriously though, maybe it's a blessing, maybe it's ignorance, but I'll take a (medium) cooked steak any day, any cut, and yes if you add rub (etc) to it, I am the least picky eater and it all tastes great to me. Pretty much the only things I do not care for are mushrooms and the fat on chicken/steak.

Bought 24 eggs at Costco for $1.99 today. Stick around for more exciting stories.

@Doctor-Phibes It’s a craft beer vibe, but if we see one called “Tranny Fluid” we’ll send a case to your house.

@Axtremus said in Does Doordash charge iPhone users more?: Apple, Inc. charges commissions for “in-app purchases.” That commission may go as high as 30%. Not for physical goods - like food. At least not a few years ago, that might have changed, but I doubt it.

It is a high-stress environment. It doesn't take many cranky, dehydrated children to stir things up.
