@Mik said in She's been shopping at Walmart for 20 years: It takes 5 minutes to set beans to soak or start some rice. Yep. Except I don't soak my beans...Got a pot of red beans and sausage cooking right now...

The court is Trump’s real legacy.

Reminds me of a buddy of mine who used to work a drilling rig off the coast of Africa. As a condition of the oil lease, it was stipulated that the drilling company had to hire a certain percentage of natives. Folks, drilling rigs are not playgrounds. There are multiple ways to get yourself killed, especially if you have no clue what you are doing. First week of drilling, they killed one. Company representative went out to talk to the family, paid for any funeral expenses, and gave them a compensation check for the loss of their son. That one check was more money than the combined family made in a year. The next week after the funeral, the mother showed up at the company office, next son in tow, wanting to know if the company still had her dead son's old job open.

Folks, The U.S. is a Republic. As such, Ms. Cheney is the elected Congressman from Wyoming. In fact, the only one. As their representative, she needs to listen to her constituent's wishes and needs. But being a Republic, she can vote as she wishes. And the voters of Wyoming can throw the bum out, if they wish. It is becoming increasingly apparent that is the wish of the good people of Wyoming. May she get her ass stomped in a humiliating defeat, so that she may enjoy the air of Northern Virginia, which is where she lives, anyway.

The runners practice constantly to improve their reaction speed. Maybe he is just that good. I would be curious to the science behind this rule. No problem with the rule, but let's see the data that no one can react faster than 0.1 seconds.

@Catseye3 I think @Aqua-Letifer and Mike Manson are the same person. LOL

He was pretty accurate with his brick throws to the glass. He should be pretty easy to identify. But, crooks think they are the smartest person in the room, but they are usually the dumbest.

@George-K I guess he got a bit "lucky". LOL The thought of spending time is prison is enough to stop me from doing any crimes. LOL

I am reminded of Asimov's Foundation series.

@taiwan_girl watch a lawyer talk about the interview: Link to video

@Axtremus said in The Grocery Inflation Thread: Vox article on Costco’s $4.99 rotisserie chicken https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/23207301/costco-rotisserie-chicken-poultry-farming-inflation Speaks of Costco setting up its own supply (vertical integration) for this “loss leader” product that has been selling for $4.99 each for the last 11+ years, the “big chicken” industry trend, and associated environmental and societal impacts. Costco did the same thing with its hot dogs - moving them to vertical integration. For all the talk people make about buyings sustainably, buying from the US, etc. buying habits of people are mainly driven by their wallet.

Defund them. Now. I do not want my tax dollars in any way supporting NPR. Let them rise or fall in the private sector.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun.

Craig Ferguson was interviewing a young acrtress when he admired her by saying, "you have such thin fingers" and followed up with, "I wish you were my doctor."

@Aqua-Letifer said in The worst record on albums: @Jolly said in The worst record on albums: I literally wore one out. I've listened to "Innervisions" about a dozen times now. I haven't put it back in the rack for weeks. But sadly, I don't have any Ray Charles yet. Many rank that record as one of the best of all time, any genre. People bought it that didn't even own record players. It spent 16 weeks at the top of the Pop charts and won the Grammy for album of the year in 1963. It's country/soul/jazz and purely American.

@Aqua-Letifer said in I'm gonna ream a gas passer's ass.: @Jolly said in I'm gonna ream a gas passer's ass.: Nope. Somebody is going to have a come to Jesus moment. I'd pay good money to be in the room for that shit. Glad she's okay, though, all things considering. +1 indeed!

For me it was Louisville.
