It’s such a shame no one is going to touch this game now.

Great read!

Depends on the climate and the number of trees. I understand wanting to leave all the leaves, but it’ll just create a muddy mess in my yard. I mulch them, it spreads through the yard. I circle around the trees and garden beds to get more leaves in those areas. Leftovers go on the composting pile.

Because it’s not just them and they have empathy. These shows are employed by staffs of 150+ people who also lose their jobs. When Conan received his 45M settlement from NBC, most of it was used to support staff members who didn’t get any sort of severance.

Right? I’ve barely seen this and it should be shared far and wide. I do wish he would have called out ICE as Gestapo, but I understand why he didn’t. It does seem like an earnest attempt to at least sway a few folks from across the aisle to acknowledge the coup.

Dark Matter is adapted from a book as well.

Agreed. I’m tired of political memes. Magats have spoiled them by constantly spamming memes that always spread fear and hate and are either outright lies or taken so far out of context. They can usually be disproved with critical thinking or a 10 second web search.

I do as well in addition to the seasoning packet. I’ve grown to really like the seasonig with it. The smoked ham takes it to another level entirely, though.

Update:

This one turned out much better!

Went overnight at 200 from 21:30 to 08:30. It stalled for many hours. Turned up the heat to 250, let it go for a few more hours until I was happy with the bark. I then wrapped it in butcher paper, then gradually increased to 280 until around 16:30. Tested it at 208 and probe was dropping in like butter. Opened it up to peak and jiggled it around, wrapped it back up until it got to 180 internal and put it in the oven at 170 for now hours. Took it out and let it sit for a few more minutes until I cut it.

Total time was about 23.5 hours. I was having difficulty uploading more pictures, but all of the connective tissue was completely rendered, smoke and flavor was fantastic, bark turned out great. I’ve gotten rave reviews from my family.

It’s really not something that I’d watch - I stick to comedy 90% of the time, but my partner was very insistent and made a good case for it.

Awesome - thanks for the update. Nothing wrong with thinking and approaching things critically.

Right, that was one option. Clarence Thomas has clear cases of corruption as well that could be pursued outside of the impeachment process, right?

Oh really? That’s a little disappointing and deceptively presented in the, “behind the scenes”. Thank you for the correction. I’ll still stand by that the shots were phenomenal, acting and writing were great. I’ll never forget the last scene.

That’s cool as hell

Biden could have but didn’t. Most of us here knew this was coming.

I highly recommend the short Netflix series, “Adolescence”. Not only is it highly topical and insightful into the areas you mentioned, but they’re 45 minute episodes done in one shot. The acting, directing and filmography is incredible.

This is the really depressing part that people really aren’t understanding. We’ve had bad leadership before, but none that have done this much irreparable damage in such a short amount of time with effects that are making the entire world worse for the foreseeable future. But yeah, Harris would have been the same /s

All I have are jokes and a small, supportive community.

I don’t know a ton about Norway, nor have I visited. Can you edify me on the reality compared to the Potemkin village facade? Are there social safety nets? How do they work/not work in practice? What’s phony about other European countries? The closest I’ve been to Norway is Denmark and I had a lot of conversations with locals about healthcare and qol and they all seemed better off than what we have in America.

This is what I’ve done; I founded an adult rec sports league a few years ago that’s burgeoned into a thriving community. It’s about half queer, we have a large group that hangs out after games, regular social events, developing leadership board, active Discord. We’ve raised over $10,000 for charities and member medical bills. (America is really sad) It’s really a bright spot in a lot of our lives right now. As things get worse, we now have a community to fall back on and support one another.
