@89th said in Ilia Malinin the quad king:

he certainly brings joy/fun into the skate, which he said afterwards was his newfound perspective on why he skates.

Loser talk for losing. My son brings joy/fun into skating. And he does it for free. Coming in 8th after the sheer fiscal and tax me commitments invested into him? Ask his loser parents and sponsors how much joy and fun losing loser brought to them while skating to an 8th place finish. I could have lost at the Olympics for free. He lost costing millions…

Also, you contradicted yourself… You said he could have won gold just doing triples, then you said male skaters are expected to do quads if they want to win.

By the way, know what Ilia means? Pelvis…

I wonder if she was clean and articulate?

Maybe it’s that ape that the newspaper uses to make predictions for the election?

Now, how did the guy get on a plane with a stranger sitting next to him and no Secret Service?

I’ll bump into them, then get indignant and be like “Do you have any idea who I am?”

Harder to pull off since you paused the alcohol.

Yeah, but if you’re going to be cutting out my liver, I may as well have a drink or two…

Now that @89th has a location and a license plate, he should be able to figure out who the guy is pretty quickly!

You need to eat more liver…

I'll give yours a try with some fava beans, now that it's dried out a bit.

No flambé?

Funny I’m in high calorie mode and seek out ways to add calories to my diet. Olive oil is great it’s very high caloric density and you can sneak in am extra 150 calories in a dish without noticing. I’ll probably post on it later with a bigger health update, but I’ve been fighting malabsorption and involuntary weight loss.

You need to eat more liver…

When a Mexican restaurant does ramen ...

I went into a new (at least to me) Mexican restaurant and surprised to find a ramen dish on the menu. First time I have ever sees a ramen dish in a Mexican restaurant. So I tried it. It looked scary red, as if it's going be off-the-chart spicy hot, but turned out it's quite mild. Flavorful, yes, but not spicy hot.

It's shredded beef on top of ramen noodle in deep red broth, served with two birria rolls on the side (beef and cheese inside). The birria rolls were supposed to be crispy (I believe), but they were somewhat limp and soggy, so that's a bit disappointing to me. Still tasty though, and the ramen itself was certainly mild and interesting.

The Ramen Bar that Lucas loves recently came out with a Birria Ramen that I quite like. The ramen is a little thicker and heartier than the normal ramen, and they include cilantro, red onion, scallions, and lime. I add an egg to it. Quite tasty.

So you’re saying that San Francisco is way too freaking expensive again? How would you like to be the guy that moved in in 2021, to have his rent increase 30% in 5 years…

It has been confirmed and the guy is evidently a queer podcaster of some minor notoriety.

I wonder if the liberal outlets are circulating his high school graduation picture.

WaPo fired everyone before they could run their “Revered Religious Leader is Dead” headline.

@AndyD said in The Iran Nuclear Program thread:

it's long overdue given the last 50 years of this dreadful Iranian regime conducting its war against westernised infidels.

It's interesting to think how long he's been in power. I think Iran has had 4 leaders in 100+ years. I don't know of another country with that track record.

Like the Steelers, only more successful.

Pittsburgh has 6 World Championships and the most wins in the league since the 70’s… How many wins has Iran had since the 70s?

I very much doubt it. Khan has shown himself to be a believer in Parcell’s draft philosophy of getting guys that are 3 year starters with at least 30 games under their belt. Ty Simpson may develop into a wonderful QB, but it won’t be with Pittsburgh. They’re going WR Round 1, and likely trading back to get draft capital for next year. My bet? They are going after Arch in 27.

My spellchecker hates Anthropic. Keeps making it Anthroponic and Anthropomorphic…

Surprisingly little online reaction to this, and very few people talking about it in person. I know it started late Friday Night/Early Saturday, but it’s surprising how low key this feels.

@jon-nyc said in I’m sure you have these in your gym:

Well more than that I’d say. Even Grok’s description of the video is this:

• The post shows HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., aged 72, executing partial-range leg presses with an estimated 800+ pounds on a machine in Austin, dressed in jeans and boots, emphasizing his lifelong dedication to physical fitness amid a demanding public role.

Oh, it’s performative as hell. But he didn’t seem to be struggling with the partial presses, he was in jeans and boots, and given that, I have no doubt that he would have no problem in proper workout gear doing the full press and at that weight.

I would look very closely at whether Truth Social is being used to wash a little dirty laundry.
