So the cops have had my street on lock down all afternoon. Drive by shooting in the building next to mine. No injuries as far as I know. - sycor Jun 8, 12:40 2
- umm, that's scary, glad you are okay! -- nm - ty97 Jun 8, 12:41 1

Just picked up our farm share. wtf am I supposed to do with rhubarb? -- nm - znufrii Jun 8, 12:22 27
- rhubarb crisp (like an apple crisp but with...you know...rhubarb) -- nm - oblique Jun 8, 12:52
- Use it with some orange, or other fruit jam to make a glaze for chicken -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 8, 12:40
- use it like you would a strawberry, but more sugar and a LOT more cooking to break down the fiber -- nm - colin Jun 8, 12:33 7
  - I use strawberries for fresh eating (got our first of the season from the farm this week too, so good). Not recommended for rhubarb, apparently :) -- nm - znufrii Jun 8, 12:35 6
    - i liked eating raw rubarb as a kid.. it was pretty tangy.. but i can see how it might not be great :) -- nm - colin Jun 8, 12:36 3
      - I was saying that because I read they were toxic, but apparently that’s just the leaves. :) -- nm - znufrii Jun 8, 12:38 2
        
        might not want to eat those -- nm - decline Jun 8, 12:40 1
        
        Fortunately they just sent the stalks. -- nm - znufrii Jun 8, 12:45
    - when i was a kid we dipped the end of rhubarb in white sugar and ate it raw. I mean, you should at least try that! :) -- nm* - Andie Jun 8, 12:36 1
      - i think that's the key. great flavor, the plant just forgot the sugar part of it. -- nm - colin Jun 8, 12:38
- Also might give this a try -- (link) - znufrii Jun 8, 12:32
- I LOVE this rhubarb cake. It's really the only reason i grow rhubarb. -- (link) - Andie Jun 8, 12:25 2
  - I’m intrigued by this idea. -- nm - znufrii Jun 8, 12:31
  - I'm pretty sure rhubarb plants will survive the heat death of the universe. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 12:29
- strawberry rhubarb pie! -- nm - decline Jun 8, 12:23 10
  - Or strawberry rhubarb crisp or strawberry rhubarb cobbler or strawberry rhubarb bars... mmmmm... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 8, 13:03
  - This is the correct answer. -- nm - Barontronic Jun 8, 12:40
  - This is my wife’s favorite pie. -- nm - spamlet Jun 8, 12:37
  - When I was a kid and first heard of strawberry rhubarb pie I thought it was a joke. - zunk xometimes Jun 8, 12:34
  - I have a vague memory of not liking it and/or being allergic as a kid, so have never tried it since. - znufrii Jun 8, 12:31
  - my vote as well. My aunt would make one special for me at holidays -- nm - Pippy Jun 8, 12:30 3
    - i can honestly say that I am not sure I have every had strawberry rhubarb pie. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 12:30 2
      - 99% sure that I have never had rhubarb in any form ever. -- nm - ty97 Jun 8, 12:34 1
        
        Never rub another man's rhubarb. -- nm - Barontronic Jun 8, 12:45
  - 100% totally yummy -- nm - prayformojo Jun 8, 12:28
- And the garlic scapes look particularly aggressive this year. -- nm - znufrii Jun 8, 12:23
- pie. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 12:23
maybe premature, but it's looking likely we are getting a new RV tomorrow. - colin Jun 8, 12:13 17

        hmm, k. to be honest -- (edited) - tRuMaN Jun 8, 12:38 1
        
        something like this is what you could tow. check your hitch weight as well, but that should be fine. - colin Jun 8, 13:02
- Nice!! -- nm - Krusty Jun 8, 12:20
- Nice - congrats. We got our new one in March finally. Good times!!! -- nm - Dean Winchester Jun 8, 12:15 5
  - oh sweet, what did you get? - colin Jun 8, 12:16 4
    - Very nice...and I should have specified...it's a travel trailer. But we got a Jayco Nighthawk 27' travel trailer. nm - Dean Winchester Jun 8, 12:32 3
      - i like the way they lay out. does that one have the outdoor kitchen area like some of them do? - colin Jun 8, 12:36 2
        
        Yeah - our last camper had like bunk beds in the back for the kids. Essentially, we got rid of those in exchange for a larger bathroom and - Dean Winchester Jun 8, 12:39 1

  - Confused by the deluge of conflicting instructions, znu placed the underwear on his head. -- nm - Barontronic Jun 8, 12:05 1
    - ~Weird science.~ -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 12:06

ok ford, now make this fully electric. introducing the ford Maverick, a $20k hybrid powertrain small truck. - tRuMaN Jun 8, 11:27 35

  - Are they out? None here or there w/nm 100 miles. -- nm - spamlet Jun 8, 12:16 1

      - Compensating…for something. -- nm - znufrii Jun 8, 13:04
      - in texas, everyone believed that trucks were magically immune to ice on the road. - colin Jun 8, 12:14
    - Except when you buy a truck, then you become "the friend with a truck" and have to do a bunch of things. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 12:00 2
      - Hence the tiny bed! - Spawn Jun 8, 12:00 1
        
        werd. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 12:08
    - - people + Americans -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:42 5
      - Speak for yourself, Midwest. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 11:52 3
        
        Uhm, they are actually *used* out here. *looks at cities* -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:54 2
        
        They are all over here and having seen these people drive; the times you really need them....I wouldn’t trust a single person driving - Will Hunting Jun 8, 12:02 1
        
        they're a bitch to park in garages around here. The F150 is too long for most spaces. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 12:14
      - Canadians, too. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 11:43
  - they're made for tiny people -- nm - decline Jun 8, 11:29 10
    - i only kill and need to transport and bury full size people -- nm - colin Jun 8, 11:37 9
      - Cut them in half. - Spawn Jun 8, 11:38 8
        
        Does the truck bed have drainage ports? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 11:43
        
        Or just fold them. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 11:41 6
        
        That works too but I have found it easier to kill someone by cutting them in half. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:42 5
        
        as a strangler, i'm not real big on the cutting. -- nm - colin Jun 8, 11:56 4
        
        Garrote? Just do that to their waist! -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 12:00 3
        
        I find that they wiggle too much. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 12:12 1
        
        You have to be fast, like a marsupial. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 12:18
        
        oh my god i could just choke you -- nm - colin Jun 8, 12:11
- But then they would have to make it look ugly. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:27
- So they did like my Ranger-E idea. Sort of. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 11:27 5
  - yeah sorta. its the same body system as the new Bronco and Escape I guess, so maybe that powertrain option will show up other places -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 11:32 4
    - Doesn't sound like it's even a PHEV, so I'm not interested in buying it in the announced form. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 11:32 3
      - its basically an efficient generator powering an electric powertrain. not a phev at all. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 11:35 2
        
        If I can't plug it in, even just as a local range booster as with PHEV, I'm not interested. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 11:42 1
        
        I understand, its just a nice tech way to improve fuel efficiency in some cars. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 11:43
Has anyone received their Summer Stalker shirts yet? I mailed mine out 2 weeks ago and I don't think it's been received yet. I'm a bit concerned. -- nm - kelly Jun 8, 11:09 11

    - Ooooh, someone's dropping hints. -- nm - Qale Jun 8, 12:03
- Don't forget, a holiday in the middle of that. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:10
That Ice Cube scene raises 22 Jump Street a full letter grade on its own. I’m with David, I can’t see them filming that without losing it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 8, 11:08 1
- I'd love to see the outtakes for that scene. -- nm - Shaun Jun 8, 11:23
I just ordered a Wyze robot vac, as well as the handheld vac (it came in a combo pack). Hoping it works as great as the reviews make it sound. -- nm - kelly Jun 8, 11:07 3
- dangit, I should have given you my referral! :D - JaxSean Jun 8, 11:46
- ohhhh you'll have to let me know about the handheld vac. -- nm - amanda's borrowed jeans Jun 8, 11:11 1
  - I’m hoping it can handle stairs, even if I have to empty the cartridge after every step. - kelly Jun 8, 11:17

- Mufasa -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 10:53 2
  - But really, James Earl Jones. So Darth Vader was also correct. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 10:54 1

Why would the FBI burn the greatest intelligence operation ever, just use the info to find other pretext to arrest, intervene -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 8, 10:46 4
