    That would be the best way to cook it, I think. I like to part out turkey to smoke it. Turns out better IMO.

    Wait I thought the White House spoke for the CDC. Thatā€™s what Iā€™ve been reading up until this.

    Politicians have avoided answering questions for centuries - this guy's just so lacking in smoothness that he points out that he won't do it before he doesn't do it.

    Well put.

    between the lives streams and the youtube/movie recommendation thread, TNCR has only two regularly recurring Ax-centric threads. I think we can all agree that that's not enough. Fewer than five is unconscionable IMO.

    I pay $240 for unlimited talk, and 8 gig of data.

    That's $240 per year.

    On tmobile I pay $2,469 per year for 3 lines, unlimited data and 2 protection plans.

    So I just called T-Mobile and told them I need a better plan and the annual bill dropped to $1,836, $633 annual savings - thanks for mentioning it

    Good way to advertise that you're a judgmental and hateful person, beloved by other judgmental and hateful people.

    Yes, of course, attractive people win.

    Could it work any other way?

    Some news outlets tried to put a good spin on it, some didn't.

    But, it sounds like NFL ratings are down from a year ago any way you look at it.

    It is obviously child abuse.

    But, dropping your pants and wiggling your bottom is a required skill in today's entertainment industry.

    Look at the headlining females in any of the last several Super Bowls. The bottom must be exposed and wiggle or forget it.

    @Horace said in Hey Aqua! Unnecessary words:

    As a mind reader who poses as a mere internet psychologist, I can tell you that the reason they wrote "impact of the global pandemic" rather than just "pandemic" is to lend the whole phrase more gravitas and appropriate just a little bit of it for themselves and how it is affecting their lives.

    I've spent many, many years working on shit like this for a job. Set your watch and warrant on it. It's how people who never developed their writing skills past 11th grade try to sound professional and important.

    That's not a dig, by the way. Most Americans stop learning how to draw around 6th grade. They stop learning how to write around their junior year of high school and oh by the way, the more your job aligns with STEM skills, the worse your writing skills likely are. You stop developing them sooner.

    Doctors are about the worst, both in terms of their shit-terrible writing skills and their inflated sense of skill in everything because they're doctors.

    Sorry, George, bach, et al.
