Where'd ya get the skillet?

Lots of places sell the pans. You'll find them at some hardware stores, Target, Williams - Sonoma, Amazon, eBay, Nordicware (online), Kohl's .....

Yeah, got ours through Nordicware.

They're good for other things, too!

Not on my Christmas donation list.

The country with the best medical infrastructure in the world has to rationalize giving some poor old guy with cancer two units of blood.

That’s very sad. Give him the fucking blood. And make a local blood donation drive.

I have to tell you that in all my years, I’ve certainly considered varied indications for giving blood. I don’t ever remember a blood bank shortage being a reason to deny someone who could benefit from it.

First unit is hanging, but we have recently sat on some patients, simply because we have extremely low supplies. A couple of weeks ago, I walked down the hallway to tell a doc that the next step was for me to hang an incompatible unit, on his signature, because I didn't have a damn thing that would work, and couldn't get anything that day that would. So my best choice was to hang a Rh positive unit on a Rh negative patient, knowing I was going to sensitize him.

Go Wildcats!

Can't wait to see the new shows. We loved the first series.

Certain maids had their own handbook and dress code...

Didn't they reverse engineer those?

Heard Ben say he won’t play next year.

Has he decided to play this year?

I went to NewEgg and plugged in your purchases.

The video card alone would have set you back $1200 on NewEgg. It's like trying to find rocking-horse poo.

I bought pretty much the same PC, but with Intel processor, as a pre-built, and it cost me about $2000, although I saved $100 in the sale.

Hey Ax, you proud of Biden yet?

How about Harris?

Nah, some of us just like WW2 history. In fact, several of us.

Another really, really interesting Soviet aircraft, that came about because the Americans wouldn't Lend/lease them any...Which is understandable, since we paid more to develop and build it than we spent on the atomic bomb.

People are a heckuva lot more nuanced than that.

Individuals are. People absolutely are not.

In some way, it's everybody's dream to be sane in an insane world, as long as you still have your essentials taken care of. Then you can still eat, sleep, fuck, and bathe, while imagining yourself surrounded by people who are dumber than you. Culture and statistics come into play at some point. it's nice to have friends while having all those essentials too. So optimally, all your friends are also sane in an insane world. This push and pull between people having like-minded friends, while also being isolated islands of sanity in an insane world, is what you'd call California, and to some degree, all tribal culture.
