Former Canadian soccer player Kaylyn Kyle talks about the US women's team celebrating after every goal and the logical internet thing happens. -- (link*) - Shaun Jun 12, 10:46 3
- I'd agree with all of that. It's the World Cup so score as much as you need to but at some point you stop whooping it up after a goal. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 11:07 1
  - Yeah, act like you have been there. -- nm - I am shloot! Jun 12, 11:13

    - I had hush puppies at LJS. -- nm - Spawn Jun 12, 10:34
    - How are deviled eggs or red beans and rice 'southern'? -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 10:27 2
      - 'cuz the devil came down to georgia -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 10:33 1
        
        ah, apparently in the south they use paprika and on the east coast they use Old Bay Nitrite Cancer Powder. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 10:35
- What are these four things? anyone know? Chess Pie, Brunswick Stew, Red Eye Gravy and Fatback. -- nm - Jovian Jun 12, 10:12 4
  - Fatback is a slice of heavily salted and dried fat from the back of a pig -- nm - decline Jun 12, 10:45
  - Chess Pie is custard pie. Brunswick Stew is just a beef vegetable stew. - JaxSean Jun 12, 10:19 2
    - "Early Brunswick stews were often made with squirrel, rabbit, even opossum, but these days pork, chicken, and beef are common." -- (link) - Meg Jun 12, 10:25
    - Iirc, Red eye gravy is bacon (and/or sausage?) drippings deglazed with coffee -- nm* - Super Daddy Princess Jun 12, 10:23
- I only got 8. It's a foodie list, not a southerner list. - David Jun 12, 09:53

  - You shouldn't be. All he eats is Brooklyn pizza, right? - Harry Tuttle Jun 12, 11:22
  - I'm amazed you made it to 3 -- nm - decline Jun 12, 10:49
  - Cornbread and I think I had hush puppies so I counted it -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 10:05 1
    - I looked them up and I don't think I've had hush puppies. So I'm down to 1. 🤷‍♂️ -- nm* - Krusty Jun 12, 10:10
  - 0 -- nm - mud Jun 12, 09:33
How does Elizabeth Warren expect all of her ideas to become law should she become president? She’s got a plan for that. -- (link*) - Super Daddy Princess Jun 12, 09:03 16
- Would love to know what she thinks about funding infrastructure. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 12, 09:20 13
  - That’s a really good question. Her campaign website is fairly quiet on the issue. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Jun 12, 09:35 1
    - Every state for itself!!! -- nm - I am shloot! Jun 12, 09:36
  - (This is an issue where she's in the minority of D candidates, not supporting a raise in the gas tax) -- nm - Strongbad Jun 12, 09:22 10
    - I am opposed to them as they tax all income levels equally. -- nm - I am shloot! Jun 12, 09:26 9
      - Kind of like giving a $100 speeding ticket to a billionaire. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 09:27 8
        
        BUT, that's just on an individual level. It compounds as the usage goes up/parallelizes, so it's somewhat effective in that way. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 09:27 7
        
        It's still regressive. -- nm - mud Jun 12, 09:29 6

        What would a progressive carbon tax look like? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 09:50 4
        
        First thought would be to offset it with a refundable income tax credit -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Jun 12, 10:00 3
        
        It's also been suggested that taking the carbon tax profits and directing them toward services for those in need would help to offset regressiveness. - Beryllium Jun 12, 10:12 2
        
        Except those taxes paid by multinational corporations will just get added to the cost of goods, so the consumer ends up paying anyway. -- (edited) - Super Daddy Princess Jun 12, 10:27 1
        
        Counter-argument: The current state of the world acts as a subsidy to those corporations, which effectively compounds the emissions problem. - Beryllium Jun 12, 10:30
- I'm curious what her plan is in the event of losing the general election due to interference and deepfakes. I'm hoping it involves aviator sunglasses. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 09:06 1
  - ... and maybe a bandolier. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 09:10
B2: I have a man crush on Dan Abrams. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 12, 09:01

My ball team does Stats after each game. We are pretty casual about it, and pretty generous about giving singles when someone else got out, etc... - Andie Jun 12, 08:17 12

- "oh man, I'll be sure to let the scouts know too" -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 08:28
- Have him do the stats, then. -- nm - I am shloot! Jun 12, 08:24
- if you are going to do stats, there will always be someone there who cares enough to want them to be right. - groiny Jun 12, 08:21 2
  - i've been on the team 14 years. no one has *ever* complained. new dude needs to chill. -- nm - Andie Jun 12, 08:22 1

NWBR,I mean the streak dating back to 2002 where no team has repeated as Stanley Cup losers. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 08:14 5
- Really? I hadn't know about that one. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 12, 08:32 3
  - Last 16 runner ups: - Reagen Jun 12, 08:42 1
    - Other fun stat - four coaches have repeated as losers ( with different teams, obviously) in this stretch -- nm* - Reagen Jun 12, 08:45
  - It's especially amazing when you think about the Penguins/Hawks/Wings/Bruins era. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 08:36
- Which, if it continues, will be entirely Reagen's fault. -- nm - Baron D. Chastain Jun 12, 08:20

Finished Twilight Zone finally. It was very underwhelming. Started Dark on Netflix. It is very awesome, but a little confusing. -- nm - sycor Jun 12, 08:06 8
- watching Designated Survivor new season on Netflix. it's not bad. Better than the 2nd season, and more adult for sure. -- nm - Remlik Jun 12, 08:15
- It was so preachy, and seemed intent on pointing out its own preachiness. -- (edited) - Inigo Jun 12, 08:10 1
  - Very much so. I was getting tired of getting throttle around the head with the proverbial message umbrella -- nm - sycor Jun 12, 09:55

        Exactly. I may be super naive but.... -- (edited) - Volnelk Jun 12, 08:09 3
        
        Hackers buy email:password dumps and then wardial that combo against hundreds of services. They're not targeting you directly. You're bycatch. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 08:52 1
