Evelyn?

We went from importing some sort of Thai rice to holy wars in about 4 pages. In the NFL thread. Well done, fam.

Red cargo rice is really tasty. Way better then regular brown rice.

My gawd man. "fight against the cultural emasculation of men" is a phrase an adult said in a commencement speech. Is this a bit? Not at all. And I would agree with him on that point. I just listened to his full speech. It's obvious that he's really Catholic. Like toward the end he talks about how m...

I saw all the abortion and motherhood stuff yesterday and didn’t care. But then saw the one today that I shared. That’s an hilarious thing to say in public, for a grown man with a job, in professional football. You think it's hilariously wrong. That does not mean that it is objectively wrong. Your ...

And telling a bunch of young women who just earned their degree that they won’t really accomplish anything until they get a husband and a child.

This.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you assuming the gender of those "women"?

I’m only seeing one butthurt poster here Dude, you're the one who started all of this by posting that tweet and saying, and I quote, "lol what a **** loser." I mean, you could have seen that tweet and said, "Huh, I see that Harrison Butker has personal and religious beliefs that I personally disagr...

Let's assume that's correct and 30% of the country are idiots holding onto outdated beliefs. Does that mean the other 70% shouldn't mock them when they say stupid ****? Nope. But I should think it means that you shouldn't be butthurt when they say stuff that you disagree with, because just as you a...

source? The Pew Research Center's regular series of American Trends polls. See, e.g.: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/10/28/in-u-s-far-more-support-than-oppose-separation-of-church-and-state/ https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/12/14/about-three-in-ten-u-s-adults-are-now-religiously...

Lol. Yeah, if a bunch of trad caths are saying it, it must be cool. And 1/3 of the country? GTFO Around 30-40% of the country is devoutly religious, regularly attends church, opposes same-sex marriage (yes still), and otherwise likely holds views that would be compatible with what Butker said. If n...

The AP with new investigations: https://twitter.com/AP/status/1790371408045850709 https://twitter.com/AP/status/1790376941284950070 Some of the tl;dr findings: - Over a decade, more than 1,000 people died after police subdued them with physical force that is not supposed to be lethal. - Officers bre...

Happy birthday!

People get all twisted in a knot whenever they see an opinion they don't agree with... Can you believe that total loser saying things that probably 100+ million people in this country would agree with? What a sack of crap. And isn't it outrageous that a Catholic college invited a Catholic person to...

Shyster comments about his apparent dislike of Disney; response: "you're not one that would like to spend time with a significant other" I wouldn't say I dislike Disney World. My view is that's a lot of expense and aggravation for a one-day thing. But if that's someone's thing, then go for it. My i...

Second the silicone lube. Regular WD-40 isn't a lubricant and will eventually gum up. The do offer a silicone lube; it's the WD-40 Specialist Silicone Lubricant.

Seems to me like one could get the same experience by going to a sauna all day while using $20 bills as fuel to keep the fire going. Oh, and take a public bus to and from the sauna and ask the person behind you to kick the back of your seat. Bonus points if someone on the bus gets into a fistfight o...

RIP Rosie. That really sucks Ronnie, but it sounds like any sort of positive quality of life just wasn't available any more. You made the right decision.

Sorry to hear that, Ronnie. Sounds like a tough but correct decision.

Not a velociraptor, but I did have to stop mowing in order to shoo a garter snake out of the mowing path and off my front lawn. No step on snek.

Looks like the mourning dove that nested in an old robin's nest above my front door had the typical two squabs. Doves are notoriously bad at building nests. The round part on the bottom was built by the robins and was sturdy enough to still be there a couple years later. The haphazard sticks on top ...

I have a hard time coming up with a public figure who has done more to destroy his own reputation than Rudy Giuliani, or one who has fallen farther thereby.

Looks like it might not rain on Sunday. My lawn is getting so long I'm waiting for a velociraptor to pop out of it and eat some game warden that just said "clever girl."

A decent Japanese market should have rice available in bulk, like 10- to 15-lb bags. Maybe larger.

Yeah, Tamanishiki comes in 15 lb. bags. I decant the rice into sealable storage containers when I open a new one.
