dms: i'm going to see if i can come up with a good roasted butternut squash lasagna recipe. should i use the roasted squash cubes as-is or puree, do - kare Sep 29, 13:32 14
- Kare I'm having dinner next week at a place that's making a vegetarian butternut squash (at least I'm pretty sure that's the menu they decided) - JenBro Sep 29, 13:39
- for a lasagna, puree and spread as a layer. -- nm - TFox Sep 29, 13:35 2
  - Depends on the other layers. Chunks may give it a little more texture. -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 29, 13:36 1
    - sauce, ricotta, mozz, and maybe some bechamel. oh and noodles. :) -- nm - kare Sep 29, 13:37
- how big are the cubes. I'd puree if they were, like, big -- nm - con_carne Sep 29, 13:34 4
  - i figured i'd cut them about 1/2 inch or so. -- nm - kare Sep 29, 13:35 3
    - I like this idea. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 29, 13:35 2
      - related, I would really like to try pumpkin chili with chunks of pumpkin, not puree.. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 29, 13:36 1
        
        yeah, when it's puree, you really don't even know it's there. -- nm - kare Sep 29, 13:37
- Butternut squash...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - Will Hunting Sep 29, 13:34
- I would sautee them with some onion and garlic and olive oil. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 29, 13:33 1

Also, Ireland is apparently having a Presidential Election - ty97 Sep 29, 13:28 4
- [deleted] 2
  - That appears to be true. David Norris (gay AND and Independent!) led a September 25 opinion poll. - ty97 Sep 29, 13:38 1
    - "If elected, Norris would follow Johanna Sigurdardottir, who became the world's first openly gay head of state when she was sworn in as Iceland's [PM] -- nm - ty97 Sep 29, 13:40

jenbro news network: Traverse City militia man arrested with over 4k pounds of explosives -- (link) - moles Sep 29, 13:24 3
- AMATEUR! There's plenty of folks with WAAY more dynamite over in Wolvertucky (Wolverine) - but don't tell them I told you! -- nm - JenBro Sep 29, 13:28 2
  - Pure crazy . . . Pure Michigan -- nm - Tim Allen Sep 29, 13:29 1
    - heh ... it's probably part of his "fishin gear" ;) -- nm - JenBro Sep 29, 13:29
LIR - ^5 Pixie on the Jeopardy thing ... what's the farthest any ST'er's gotten? Here's hoping all the categories are MOVIES and SCREENPLAYS :D -- nm - JenBro Sep 29, 13:24 16
- deevs made it onto the show once - moles Sep 29, 13:25 15
  - DEEVS! when you think about your wish from yesterday - it could all come TRUE!!! - JenBro Sep 29, 13:31 3
    - (oops - I meant Pixies wish - not DEEVS wish - I was just taking the opportunity to say DEEVS) -- nm - JenBro Sep 29, 13:31 2
      - how much explosives are you hiding in your basement? -- nm - moles Sep 29, 13:32 1
        
        none anymore - they wouldn't insure me with them -- nm - JenBro Sep 29, 13:41
  - and prayformojo. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 29, 13:27 10
    - I did not know this. Sweet. (nm) - musubi Sep 29, 13:30 2

    - PFM too? Nice! - Krusty Sep 29, 13:29 1
      - when you think about it - makes sense - he's the quiz master :D -- nm - JenBro Sep 29, 13:32
    - pfm too? Neat! -- nm - Diva Sep 29, 13:29 1
      - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Sep 29, 13:30
    - i had no idea of these things. where is the video!? -- nm - TFox Sep 29, 13:27 2
      - this -- nm - oblique Sep 29, 13:33
      - He has a picture. (nm) - Kim Pine Sep 29, 13:33
Wait, they put Sex On Fire on the list but not Use Somebody? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 29, 13:24 8
- It's a list of popular shit which only considered songs on major labels, from the looks of it -- nm - con_carne Sep 29, 13:25 5
  - con_carne's got his snob pants on today! -- nm - TFox Sep 29, 13:26 2
    - I'm far from being the exponent of Indie rock, but I've simply heard far too much of it being good to pretend it never happened - con_carne Sep 29, 13:32 1
      - so what song is missing, that really sums up the decade for you? -- nm - TFox Sep 29, 13:34
  - Well, it's VH1, so yeah. -- nm - ty97 Sep 29, 13:26
  - Same album. Use broke it open for them. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 29, 13:26
- I'm surprised, but pleased, by VH1's taste in that case. -- nm - ty97 Sep 29, 13:24 1
  - Except for the fact that they left off the huge hit and listed the other? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 29, 13:26

- The first primary for the 2016 elections will be held February 3rd - amoxy Sep 29, 13:19
- I'm more and more tempted to want a federal law mandating all primaries on a single day. - ty97 Sep 29, 13:19 23
  - I'd just as soon get rid of primaries altogether. -- nm - znufrii Sep 29, 13:30 1
    - (and the two-party political system, for that matter) -- nm - znufrii Sep 29, 13:32
  - I don't like the idea of a single day...but there's gotta be some structure. - Will Hunting Sep 29, 13:22 15
    - Ebbs and flows? Why is electing our leader supposed to a strategic game, like Survivor? - musubi Sep 29, 13:26 6
      - Becuase primaries are, at the end of the day, a party exercise. The party wants to challenge it's challengers for the nomation. - Will Hunting Sep 29, 13:30 5
        
        That makes no sense. If you can get 100k Iowans to vote for you, they should count the same as 100k californians, or 100k texans. (nm) - musubi Sep 29, 13:33
        
        I don't care what parties want. Parties is what has us so fucked up -- nm - ty97 Sep 29, 13:32 3
        
        Well, you'll be hard pressed to make that logic work for PARTY PRIMARY DAY. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 29, 13:32 2
        
        Get rid of publicly funded primaries all together then. (nm) - musubi Sep 29, 13:35 1
        
        That's another option. But then it won't be a vote and the American people don't want party insiders picking a guy in the backrooms. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 29, 13:38
    - I do like the single day primary. I hate that California rarely has any clout in picking the candiates -- nm - amoxy Sep 29, 13:25 1
      - My idea takes care of that. - Will Hunting Sep 29, 13:26
    - If we spread it out like that, I'd like a lottery system to pick state order each time. -- nm - ty97 Sep 29, 13:23 5
      - Or just the same group, but rotate them each cycle. - Will Hunting Sep 29, 13:24 4
        
        That works too. Just not the same states each time. Mix it up, give each state a chance to 'have the power' or whatever. -- nm - ty97 Sep 29, 13:25 3
        
        Why move to a more complex solution of randomness, just to give everyone a taste of disproportionate power, instead of just making it fair? (nm) - musubi Sep 29, 13:28 2
        
        I prefer the single day. Like Obama, I was foolishly trying to compromise to make both sides happy by going with a middle solution. - ty97 Sep 29, 13:31 1
        
        Nothing wrong with compromise, but neither is arguing for a position that makes more sense. (nm) - musubi Sep 29, 13:36
  - Why only tempted? The current system is so antiquated. - musubi Sep 29, 13:20 1
    - I resist because elections are historically a state right, and I'm trying to respect that. - ty97 Sep 29, 13:21
  - If Iowa and New Hampshire didn't have the early primaries - amoxy Sep 29, 13:20 2
    - Precisely. No one *should* give a shit about either one (any more than they care about any other state) - ty97 Sep 29, 13:22
    - So, instead, lets make sure small populated states get disproportional sway over the candidates come primary time in others states? - musubi Sep 29, 13:22
Watched Back to the Future with my daughter today. Holds up well and she loved. Plus I get to answer a question Mandy had about the film - TWuG Sep 29, 13:15 1
- heh. I had to explain the Tab/Pepsi jokes as well but we had the same experience and really enjoyed taking the kids to the AMC screenings of the aniv -- nm - oblique Sep 29, 13:21
Will...that was funny. I can imagine how uncomfortable you must have felt having that conversation. -- nm - Krusty Sep 29, 13:12
This writer is not a fan of John Lackey. Not at all. - Diva Sep 29, 13:11 27
- Sure, he sucked *a lot* but what are they supposed do with that contract? - Krusty Sep 29, 13:16 10
  - I think that writer needs to hydrate and take a nap. - Diva Sep 29, 13:18 8
    - Exactly. I understand everyone in Boston is angry and hates him right now but he's stuck there for now. - Krusty Sep 29, 13:21 5
      - [deleted] 1
        
        You planning a Gillooly? - Krusty Sep 29, 13:33
      - Boston will do whatever is needed to get rid of Lackey. This is an extreme situation they cannot tolerate. -- nm - David Sep 29, 13:23
      - LA loves Vernon Wells and his .218 batting average. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 29, 13:22 1
        
        Suckers. :-) -- nm - Krusty Sep 29, 13:34
    - Hope Kenny Williams is drunk and see if you can get him to claim Lackey on waivers (aka the Rios)...or trade him to the Angels cuz Arte needs a splash -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 29, 13:20 1
      - Dude. We gave him a 'reasonable' offer when the Sox threw him all that money - JD Sep 29, 13:36
  - trade him for Adam Dunn. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 29, 13:17
- There's what, 52mil left on that deal? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 29, 13:13 7
  - Contact details (try not to laugh) - David Sep 29, 13:15 6
    - I wonder if a Lackey for Lowe trade gets considered. - David Sep 29, 13:16 5

        I would like to see D. Lowe join Delonte West out for a Guys' Night on the town. -- nm - Diva Sep 29, 13:21

  - Word. Cashman should hang for that deal. -- nm - Krusty Sep 29, 13:16
  - The Lackey, Burnett, Drew signings are like a bad horror movie..."DON"T SIGN THEM FOR THAT MUCH!!" - Will Hunting Sep 29, 13:15
- Blind speculation: he's friends with someone related to Lackey's wife. -- nm - David Sep 29, 13:13

- Nubby is going to throw a fit when he sees that list - con_carne Sep 29, 13:24
- I'd like to dedicate #98 to mandy. -- nm - ty97 Sep 29, 13:09
- Way too low. -- nm - MDH Sep 29, 13:07 12
  - Pretty sure that song was deliberately placed at #100 to make readers go "Oh snap, I remember that!" upon clicking -- nm - con_carne Sep 29, 13:12
  - I can't get over how *old* some of those songs are. - TFox Sep 29, 13:08 10
    - I thought Thong ws 98 or 99 actually. This list seems to skew toward the latter half of the 00s a lot too -- nm - ty97 Sep 29, 13:09 4
      - #8. UGH. -- nm - MDH Sep 29, 13:11 3
        
        I like #8. We shall play it at the next tystrav. -- nm - ty97 Sep 29, 13:20 2

        Flo Rida gets respect from me for being a good person though. - MDH Sep 29, 13:12 2
        
        A good person would not subject me to his songs. -- nm - TFox Sep 29, 13:12 1
        
        I'm not denying that...but he donated some money :-) -- nm - MDH Sep 29, 13:13
On the VH1 Top 100, was surprised they had "I kissed a Girl" instead of "Hot and Cold" - amoxy Sep 29, 13:04 6
- Making "go" a two-syllable word disqualifies Hot and Cold from any list of good songs -- nm - con_carne Sep 29, 13:22
- I Kissed a Girl launched her career, and it was ''edgy' (since the kids who listen to Perry never heard of Jill Sobule) -- nm - ty97 Sep 29, 13:07 4
  - word -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 29, 13:14
  - No Kylie "Love At First Sight" on that list makes me sad. -- nm - MDH Sep 29, 13:13 2
    - You mean "Can't Get You Out of My Head" -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 29, 13:15 1
      - Ah true, that was bigger here, so yes! Thanks Spawn. -- nm - MDH Sep 29, 13:16

    - don't tell him, hyde -- nm - moles Sep 29, 13:08
  - Killer devices are the hyde killer! -- nm - oblique Sep 29, 13:07
- It's more of an iPad wounder. Amazon understands the critical importance of price point. -- nm - David Sep 29, 13:05
- from what little i know about the lack of some basic features -- cam, mic, 3G -- it doesn't sound like an iPad killer yet -- nm - moles Sep 29, 13:05 1
  - Fire won't be able to compete with IPad's app store either -- nm - con_carne Sep 29, 13:07
- yes, though it may slow down sales of ipads, there will always be a devoted faithful apple core -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 29, 13:04
- The more I've thought about this, the more I think this is the warning shot to the iPad. Amazon sells a ton, gets a critical mass of users and devs - oblique Sep 29, 13:04 8
  - Boo hoo. We only got to sell tens of millions of these at $500+ a pop. - Apple Sep 29, 13:05 1
    - heh. What's important in a way is that this will be the first iPad *competitor* with any real marketshare, just as Android has done in general on the - oblique Sep 29, 13:07
  - Yeah, with all the cloud stuff this seems a lot bigger than the nook color. -- nm - Ender Sep 29, 13:05 4
    - The Nook Color still competes with the classic Kindles and has an advantage due to it's Android-ness - oblique Sep 29, 13:05 3
      - But the classic Kindles are now $80 and the Nook Color is $250, $50 more than even the Kindle Fire. -- nm - Ender Sep 29, 13:07 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        yeah, but the $80 ad supported Kindle isn't exactly analogous to the Nook but yes, they're going to have to come down in price also to stay in it -- nm - oblique Sep 29, 13:08
