It’s pretty good stuff, actually. This is an actual drink.

It’s nice to see both McLarens on track. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with plank wear during the race since you can see the spot on track where the cars are scraping.

Afroman. He’s an American musician who just successfully fought off a defamation suit brought by police officers who raided his property a few years ago. The charges they used to justify the raid were false and they destroyed some stuff during the raid, not to mention the negative attention it brought him. So he used his security camera footage to make some music videos and made fun of several of the police officers involved. They got their feelings hurt and tried to sue him for defamation, and lost.

The organization is an absolute mess right now, including our district council. There’s so much that needs to be addressed, and it feels like they prioritized this situation over the actual needs of the organization. It feels hypocritical to have the kids recite the scout oath and law every meeting, while watching leadership get bullied by outsiders. It feels especially personal because now it seems like my daughter is about to be targeted. There are people still upset that girls are allowed, and they are about to feel much more emboldened by this latest misstep. It’s just mentally exhausting and I could spend my free time helping my community in other ways, that aren’t trying to exclude my kid.

I’m not the person your reply is to, but you’re spot on about where this is headed. From the DOD’s initial statement about Scouting America, it’s obvious that they want it to go back to excluding girls from the organization. As a current den leader, I was already dissatisfied with the way the organization is being run, and this is probably the final straw for me to just step away from them completely. Leadership is acting like cowards while also asking for donations. It’s incredibly disappointing.

If you knew how to drive, you most likely knew how to use a manual transmission.

Send it to McNally and have it done in 10 seconds.

I love pinto beans. Throw them in an instant pot with a large onion, 4 cloves of garlic, and a jalapeno or two. Set it to cook for 45 minutes and let it release pressure naturally. Salt to taste. They make a great side and you can then make refried beans, if you like.

My spouse is finishing a degree at 36 and kicking themselves they didn’t do it sooner. I’ll have some extra time in about 2 1/2 years and I want to try and fit in a class or two. It just depends on your situation, but if you’re needing a degree to get a better job, you’ll want to get to that earning potential ASAP. The cost could potentially just be a drop in the bucket if you still plan on working for another 30+ years. It can also be rewarding just to expand your knowledge and grow in unexpected ways. My advice is to just do it and get it over with already. Especially if it will lead to better opportunities and earnings. Or don’t, it’s your life.

Season of the Witch by Donovan. Lana Del Rey has a remake but I prefer the original.

I’m aware. I’m also an experienced cook that would not add just anything to my food, or use improper cooking times and temps. I own a copy of the Betty Crocker cookbook that is my baseline for baking and meat temps.

Pinterest is also great to compare recipes. I like to take a few recipes and find things I like from each to customize things to my taste.

7 is like being in a horror movie. Especially the beginning. It’s intense, and continues to build. Very different from the previous entries.

Holiday where banks are closed during normal business hours.

Reanimal. Saved you a click.

Superb joke.

Justice Department announced they are appealing, so who knows?

I’ve listened to him in interviews and there are times where he comes off as very self-assured about everything he does. There’s quite a few Tool songs where he has a very similar tone as well. He’s just that kind of person. Kind of a dick.

Let me start by saying, “Fuck Paxton”. It is very convenient that J&J spun off just Tylenol into a different company about a year ago. No real reason except corporate word salad. This could get interesting.
