miss jones - you still around? I need to know our opinion of something. nm - Johnny Lawrence Jan 4, 08:09 2

  - I think that's it for me. As for RAANAP - you are 100% correct. - Johnny Lawrence Jan 4, 08:25

did I tell you guys that I have decided that I'm only grocery shopping for "things I need right away" and fresh vegetables in january? - amanda jeans Jan 4, 07:52 18
- Until they put half hams on sale at .49/lb :/ -- nm - Meg Jan 4, 08:03 1
  - I don't have room to store half a ham. my fridge is 32" wide and counter depth. -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 4, 08:07
- Ditto. -- nm - znufrii, stimulated Jan 4, 08:02
- I have to do this every couple of months. 'Why do I have 12 cans of diced tomatoes in my pantry?' -- nm - decline Jan 4, 08:00 9
  - Here's how I prevent that: I can walk to the grocery store, so I do. I buy what I can carry up the hill. -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 08:08 2
    - I live in the boonies - literally zero places you can walk to -- nm - decline Jan 4, 08:14
    - I walk to the grocery store as well. but if you buy one can a week and don't use it, in twelve weeks you have twelve cans. - amanda jeans Jan 4, 08:11
  - weirdly I made chili the other day and I had zero cans of diced tomatoes. so they would be eligible for purchase if I made chili again. - amanda jeans Jan 4, 08:05 5
    - it's like an addiction. every time I walk down certain aisles at the Supermarket I automatically put things in my cart. Canned black bean are another - decline Jan 4, 08:08 3
      - Yup. -- nm - znufrii, stimulated Jan 4, 08:10
      - I buy dried black beans in bulk at the amish market. otherwise I would buy them without thinking as well. -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 4, 08:09 1
        
        the stupid part is I almost always use dried when I cook (I have at least 2 bags of those) but still grab the canned all the time - decline Jan 4, 08:11
    - oh myabe in the basement? I should look/ -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 4, 08:06
- That's how I usually shop (in the before times). -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 07:56 4
  - that was how I shopped before as well. but in the beginning of pandemic I stocked up a bit thinking grocery stores might close or something? - amanda jeans Jan 4, 08:00 3
    - I did this with pasta (I have so, so much pasta) -- nm - decline Jan 4, 08:12
    - ahhhh, I didn't stock up nearly as much as that. I'm a disaster planner who doesn't have a personal disaster plan. -- nm* - loosilu Jan 4, 08:07 1
      - to be clear: I didn't like hoard. I bought maybe two or three weeks' worth of frozen stuff and cans, right? but instead of eating that stuff - amanda jeans Jan 4, 08:09
Roku in Talks to Save Quibi’s Shows, Including “50 States of Fright” and “The Expecting” -- (link) - Remlik Jan 4, 07:46 3

  - The return of Reno 911 piqued my interest. - Cuzzin Todd Jan 4, 07:50
Georgia’s special elections are awful. Why are they post-inauguration? Louisiana has runs offs and do them in early December, and don’t have any - Will Hunting Jan 4, 07:41 13
- It's no Georgia 5th Congressional District (John Lewis' seat) -- nm - Dano Jan 4, 07:59 1
  - 340k votes in the race for who gets it for a month, 25k in the race for who gets it for two years. -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 08:03
- I agree. 4-5 weeks after the general would make sense. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 4, 07:50 8
  - I admit, I'm confused which election we're discussing here. The Senate run-offs are tomorrow right? -- nm - Qale Jan 4, 07:51 7
    - My understanding is that Perdue is not currently a sitting Senator. Loeffler is. -- nm - Dano Jan 4, 08:02 6
      - So who would vote on Wednesday Loeffler? -- nm - eag Jan 4, 08:04 5
        
        I think Loeffler can vote on Wednesday, but Perdue would not. Perdue's term ended yesterday. His seat is empty. Loeffler was appointed. - Dano Jan 4, 08:12 4
        
        I am pretty sure this is correct. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 4, 08:23
        
        I noticed her name not listed as one seditionist -- nm - eag Jan 4, 08:15 2

        You better Cool It Now -- nm - Dano Jan 4, 08:23
- I would hesitate to use Louisiana as a standard of civics normality. :) - Hibernating Baron Jan 4, 07:47
- Highlighting these timing and others issues have been a good outcome of this election. -- nm - budice Jan 4, 07:43

If you're not listening to the Dan Le Batard Show right now, you're missing out on the Stat of the Day (long form). - ReluctantCynic Jan 4, 07:24
I find it really odd that the Padres are okay with Tatis Jr. playing winter ball. I'm sure he's loving playing for the DR but it's really risky to - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 4, 07:21 4
- Most of the Latino players go home and play. I think Papi did often. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 4, 07:27 3
  - I know some play but it seems really risky. Gary Sanchez played but he needed the work. Tatis Jr. is a star and I'm sure he wants to keep playing - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 4, 07:33 2
    - I think the teams just accept it. For the pitchers and catchers, I’d be worried but for basic players, baseball shouldn’t be a truly high risk sport. - Will Hunting Jan 4, 07:38 1
      - Interesting. With the way they baby players you'd think they'd be more cautious. -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 4, 07:53

Listening to the Trump call now. He really believes this nonsense. -- (edited) - Inigo Jan 4, 06:36 21
- I'm pretty sure his mental faculties are in decline at this point. -- nm - David Jan 4, 08:32
- No, he’s giving them every opportunity to agree with him. Flip one state and the entire election is in question, and he can crow forever about it. -- nm - mafic Jan 4, 07:05 1
  - Right. -- nm - David Jan 4, 08:28
- how did wapo get the call? do we know? -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 4, 07:03 5
  - pretty sure I heard it was given to an NPR station in Georgia by someone in Raffensperger's office -- nm - decline Jan 4, 07:05 4
    - I’m just going to say that that takes balls, to record the POTUS, and then leak the tape knowing the shitstorm to come. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 4, 07:06 3
      - here was their thinking -- (link) - decline Jan 4, 07:10 2

        Jake Tapper with the burn -- (link) - Beaker Jan 4, 07:22
- that's what happens with pathological liars. they begin to actually believe the untruths they invent. -- nm - Diva Jan 4, 06:44
- I don't think he honestly believes anything. It's the only shot to further what he wants and that's what he's willing to believe in in that moment. -- nm - spamlet Jan 4, 06:38 10
  - I think he might believe it. Because I really don't think his brain understands "lies vs truth." Just "what do i want?" -- nm - Andie Jan 4, 07:10 1
    - Right. If he wants it, if needs it, then it's the truth. -- nm - Inigo Jan 4, 07:14
  - Right -- (edited) - znufrii, stimulated Jan 4, 06:52 3
    - I have someone in my reporting chain that is exactly this. - spamlet Jan 4, 07:24 1
      - it's creepy to witness in everyday life. -- nm - Diva Jan 4, 08:06
    - Mike Pence is very good at that. -- nm - Diva Jan 4, 06:53
  - He's used to being able to bully his way into or out of any situation and just being enough of an asshole that he gets what he wants just so the other - Reagen Jan 4, 06:46 1
    - That as well. -- nm - spamlet Jan 4, 06:48
  - I think his mind can't handle people disliking him. - Inigo Jan 4, 06:43 1
    - I agree with this. He's surrounded himself intentionally by Yes people for his entire career. -- (edited) - Strongbad Jan 4, 06:46
Ouch! Big toe hurting like crazy. Symptoms only slightly match gout and I'm not eating much meat nor drinking. - zork Jan 4, 06:35 8
- That is classic gout. Take some Advil, drink a lot of water and or cherry juice. -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 06:43 5
  - Cherry juice? I haven't heard this one. -- nm - sycor Jan 4, 08:05 4
    - There is talk that cherries help reduce uric acid (but supposedly fruit juices can increase your chance of getting gout) -- nm - zork Jan 4, 08:15 3
      - I see mixed evidence, yeah. -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 08:17 2
        
        I was hoping you'd answer this thread. The other thing though ... - zork Jan 4, 08:21 1
        
        If it becomes a consistent thing, get a prescription for Allopurinol. Gout gets you in ways other than acute attacks - Reagen Jan 4, 08:35
- better amputate just to be safe -- nm - decline Jan 4, 06:36 1
  - Dammit, why didn't I think of that! -- nm - zork Jan 4, 06:41

JaxSean: From B2, yep, that's him. He has an unverified twitter. -- nm - MDH Jan 4, 06:22 2
- And if you actually had that material, uh, release it, get them arrested. -- nm - Andie Jan 4, 06:30
- I wonder if a particularly crazy Proud Boy or Boogaloo won't wack him so to get the dead man switch to activate. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 4, 06:29
Dammit, I'm really upset hearing about Tanya Roberts. Just rewatched AVTAK a week ago, googled her, and was saying how great she still looks. -- nm - zork Jan 4, 06:18
