Mmmmm pie

Alright, admit you used google fu on that one.

I'd be happy for them to scrap gendered categories. Not because of gender identification, just to make the awards ceremonies shorter.

Yeah, here’s another way to think about it. Imagine constructing an ancestor tree going back 40 generations, which is roughly 1000 years. The top line (listing all your great^38 grandparents) would literally have over a trillion entires (2^40). Obviously a trillion people weren’t alive then or ever, so what you’d see in practice is the same men and women appearing over and over in that tree. But the same men reappear in that tree at a much higher frequency than the women do.

@george-k said in Black Friday Weekend from 1961: @lufins-dad said in Black Friday Weekend from 1961: I’m surprised at how expensive those items were. Indeed. Now, look at the price of a gallon of gas. I paid 25¢ a gallon in the late 1960s. That translates to about $1.99 a gallon today. But...I was glad to get 12 mpg back then. Today, 30 is considered good.... Fuel for your car is cheaper than it was back then. Air travel is one of the items that I constantly point at. Air travel used to be far more expensive…

What was the GKSR for 'If it weren't for hypocrisy...'?

@doctor-phibes said in In the interest of fairness: Well, my first thought was 'Jesus Christ, this place looks like a Donald Trump hotel!' Apart from the smell, of course. That was fall-out-of-my-chair funny.

I don’t believe anyone has claimed a turkey shortage (though it’s possible there are regional shortages due to transport issues) if they honestly believe pricing is only based on supply/demand or price gouging… Well that explains a whoooooole lot.

La Wiki says he worked at Bear Sterns in 1980. I guess they were at 55 Water then.

Doubling the units would be my suggestion too. Also find something to cover it. It will reduce evaporation and help hold temp. They sell 22 qt tubs that should hold a turkey, especially if you cut it up and bag the parts separately. Still, a noble experiment. Glad it turned out well.

I'm surprised he is interested. Still, if they were truly looking for a rising star, their words, why pick a 70 year old? Of course he has a track record with Biden's Cancer Moonshot. Maybe bach can tell us whether that ever went anywhere.

Something triggered it but it was likely inadvertent. 40 young men against one 82 year old man. Makes me rethink my opposition to capital punishment. If they wish to be animals perhaps they should be put down like them.

They've fallen into the same hole CNN did. At some point there is just nothing left to say worth hearing so it just goes to blather and stirring unnecessary controversy.

Life finds a way.
