apparently a truck is on fire on the bay bridge in SF. And there are propane tanks involved, so ... maybe it'll go boom. -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 19, 09:57 1

*kicks at the dirt* No one cares about the conference tournament anyway. - Baron and Barratry Aug 19, 09:48 3
- I lost so I win. I get 2 bottom feeders so 2-1 instead of 1-2 beat downs that tank my ranking. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 19, 09:57 1
  - True, my odds of getting to 9-9 probably just increased. Unless of course I lose to the lousy Detroit team. Again. - Baron and Barratry Aug 19, 10:01
- Oh sorry man. Avenged my loss to the interim team. On to the next revenge. -- nm* - spamlet Aug 19, 09:55

Controversial opinion: I think cauliflower as a substitute for rice/potatoes/etc is disgusting and inedible. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 09:46 16
- I'm in agreement. I like cauliflower but don't like it as a starch substitute. -- nm - Dano Aug 19, 09:59
- Yes. Also, kale is trash. -- nm - Shaun Aug 19, 09:49 10
  - Sauteed kale & red or orange bell peppers is my go-to side two or three days a week. -- nm - Meg Aug 19, 10:02
  - You haven't had it done right. -- nm - Reagen Aug 19, 09:59 5
    - dried and salted kale is almost a decent chip substitute -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 10:00 1
      - Yup. Baked with salt it's tasty and I hate veggies -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 10:05
    - Oh no you don't. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 09:59 2
      - Just a bunch of kale leaves I would agree is not good - Reagen Aug 19, 10:04 1
        
        OK, I thought you were going to say the usual "add 10 cloves of garlic" sort of answer. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 10:07
  - I'm with the Canadians. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 09:52
  - word to both -- nm - Beaker Aug 19, 09:51
  - Loosi is right; you're wrong. -- nm - psilotum Aug 19, 09:51
- Truth. It's a lie people tell themselves that it's just as good as the original so they don't feel like they're missing out. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 19, 09:47 2
  - Thank you. All I taste is cauliflower, no matter how they cook it. I can smell it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 09:52 1
    - I blame Oprah. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 19, 09:56
- I like cauliflower, but I haven't tried it in that way, so who knows. I might agree. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 09:47

LIR ground turkey, I actually compared ground turkey and 97% lean ground beef, the ground beef actually had fewer calories. - sycor Aug 19, 09:26 16
- this is delicious minus peppers add chilis in adobo. (use black beans obviously) -- (link) - amanda jeans Aug 19, 09:39 8
  - I need to start making Instant Pot chili this winter! -- nm - prayformojo Aug 19, 09:44 7
    - I need to learn how to use my instant pot for more than air fried french fries (which are amazing btw) -- nm - sycor Aug 19, 09:49 2
      - check out the Youtube channel for Six Sixters Stuff. - groiny Aug 19, 09:50 1
        
        cool thanks! -- nm - sycor Aug 19, 10:03
    - if you haven't made my black bean soup, do that too! -- nm - amanda jeans Aug 19, 09:46 3
      - 👍👍 - decline Aug 19, 09:47
      - oooh....link? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 19, 09:46 1
        
        very flexible. -- (link) - amanda jeans Aug 19, 09:56 [Backboard]
- I don't like ground turkey by itself, if it is a 50/50 mix of turkey and beef, I can eat it -- nm - groiny Aug 19, 09:27 6
  - Turduckickeef, or nothing! -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 09:37
  - word. I don't mind it in chili or spaghetti, something with enough spice/taste to mask it -- nm - Beaker Aug 19, 09:33 1
    - See, I think that's the problem. If I try to pretend it's beef, it sucks. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 09:38
  - I'm not big a fan either. The texture is different and I can usually tell if someone makes spaghetti or something with turkey. -- nm - sycor Aug 19, 09:28
  - I eat it but I don't treat it as beef. I season it differently. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 09:28 1
    - Yeah, it really needs to be properly spiced in order for it to work on its own. -- nm - Shaun Aug 19, 09:40
We need more of this please. -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 19, 09:20
‘The man has been identified. He’s a white male from North Carolina, and he is making anti-government statements.’ So they're trying to talk him down -- (link) - decline Aug 19, 09:20 7

- It's always one of those. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 09:21 3
  - are you close to it? Can you go get us pictures? -- nm - decline Aug 19, 09:27 2
    - No, in Arlington. Max would be the closest I think. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 09:28 1
      - No longer working downtown. Today's news made me realize I haven't been up to the Capitol since before the pandemic started. -- nm - Max Aug 19, 10:04
- *sigh* Damnit NC -- nm - sycor Aug 19, 09:21
If anyone here has experience managing an online community, working directly with community members, plus excellent communication/writing skills, - Beryllium Aug 19, 09:17 12
- Does being a guild admin on Deep Town count? LOL -- nm - sycor Aug 19, 09:43 2
  - if you, as the admin, helped to moderate content, grow the membership, and conduct activities/events, perhaps. - Beryllium Aug 19, 09:50 1
    - I feel like it wouldn't pay as much as my current job, but then again I always underestimate jobs. - sycor Aug 19, 10:05
- Need to know pay, please. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 09:22 6
  - That's a good question, and IMHO it should have been posted as part of the ad, but I guess we're not applying industry best practices in that regard. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 09:27 5
    - Bummer. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 09:28 4
      - I've raised the question of whether we've considered showing that info in the ad, which I might be able to parlay into getting that info for you. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 09:32 3
        
        I don't have a specific applicant in mind, so I wouldn't want you to make a great effort. -- (edited) - loosilu Aug 19, 09:39 2
        
        Great points, I've passed that along. Thanks :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 09:44 1
        
        Internally it's IC2, so that means mid-level or a bit above entry-level (hence the 'associate' part) -- nm* - Beryllium Aug 19, 10:01
- Details (I can also generate a referral link if you know of a non-STer that is interested) -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 19, 09:21 [flickr]
- If you're interested, I can refer directly. I'd need first/last name, email, phone, and resume. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 09:20
WWE failed to get Mike Tyson to do the voice over for Summerslam video package... -- nm - Remlik Aug 19, 09:11 2

  - true -- nm - Remlik Aug 19, 09:44
‘Never Have I Ever’ Renewed for Season 3 at Netflix -- nm - Beaker Aug 19, 09:11 10
- We watch that. Season 2 not quite as good as 1 but still enjoyable. -- nm - zunk xometimes Aug 19, 09:28
- its a cute show. -- nm - Jovian Aug 19, 09:23
- in other news: never have I ever is a show that exists. -- nm - amanda jeans Aug 19, 09:12 7
  - It's teen dramady, written by Mindy Kaling. Fine for the genre. Not great. -- nm - Andie Aug 19, 09:19 2
    - That's too bad. I'm biased to expecting everything Mindy touches to be great. -- nm - Max Aug 19, 10:02 1
      - Some people think it's great. (I've never seen it.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 10:03
  - Never have I ever heard of a show called Never Have I Ever, until now. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 09:14 3
    - John McEnroe is the main character's narrator. -- nm - Shaun Aug 19, 09:25 2
      - I understand what this sentence says, but I do not understand this sentence. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 09:41 1
        
        right? -- nm - Shaun Aug 19, 09:46
I can't find it, but I recently saw a graphic commemorating the date on which "The Weekend donated an 'e' to Lord" -- nm - prayformojo Aug 19, 09:09

My answer is Cookout. And your answer should be Cookout. Unless you have a Cookout in your state. In which case, go to Cookout. -- (link*) - rollo Aug 19, 09:02 12
- Cookout is amazing. -- nm - sycor Aug 19, 09:22 1
  - There has been adequate testimony to cancel out David's negativity. My choice of Cookout stands. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 09:39
- eh, they're a'ight. - JaxSean Aug 19, 09:12 4
  - Milkshake report? -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 09:14 3
    - We had three different ones when we stopped last year and all were good. -- nm - spamlet Aug 19, 09:32
    - I was going to add, I think the 2nd time I got the milkshake, and it was pretty decent. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 19, 09:15 1
      - Nice. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 09:19
- We were so excited to get a Cookout about three years ago. We've tried it like five times, and it's always disappointed. :( -- nm - David Aug 19, 09:12 1
  - Three times we've been to TN and each time we never make it to Pal's. It's on my radar for when we're there next month. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 19, 09:16
- oh man -- nm - prayformojo Aug 19, 09:11
- My answer is hereby, Cookout. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 09:07
- Ohhhh Cookout. - spamlet Aug 19, 09:04
Holy shit, they're doing the giant space robot! -- nm - David Aug 19, 08:59 5
- starring in Fresh Prince reboot? -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 09:02
- Fast10? -- nm - Dean Winchester Aug 19, 09:02
- Voltron? -- nm - Dean Winchester Aug 19, 09:00 2
  - which one? The lions or the crappy other one? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 19, 09:06
  - Pacific Rim in Space! -- nm - Beaker Aug 19, 09:01
And the winning baby name was... - Max Aug 19, 08:54 10
- Oh, so the bracket results were not binding? Anyway, yay for AJ! -- nm - mara Aug 19, 09:11

- ... for all inquiries contact our publicist @chethinks. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 08:57
I know everyone is different, but brackets for name selection is insane to me. I mean, were these all names that both parents liked? - Spawn Aug 19, 08:51 5
- It is certainly better than a gender reveal forest fire. :) -- nm - Dano Aug 19, 09:57
- From the sound of it, they were very indecisive until the last moment, but the bracket was also intended to be fun for the family - Max Aug 19, 08:53 1
  - Okay then, that makes a bit more sense. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 08:55
- enh, it's fun. and if you don't like the result, it's not like it is legally binding to use it. -- nm - Andie Aug 19, 08:52 1
  - "are you arguing with the committee? Because then that would just be chaos!" -- nm - Reagen Aug 19, 09:00
"Ineffective Incentive"? wow -- nm - prayformojo Aug 19, 08:51 1
- A very 2021 answer -- nm - rollo Aug 19, 09:01

- They will bring you to-go obviously, right? -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 08:57
- Oh they better bring you back something or they're all fired. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 19, 08:50
Ohtani last night 8 IP, 8K, 1 ER for the win. Oh and he hit his 40th home run -- (link) - JD Aug 19, 08:47 [youtube] 9
- Nobody ever mentions it, but he has 18 stolen bases, too. He might get to 40/30. -- nm - David Aug 19, 08:51 3
  - I am not a fan of baseball, but the art of stealing bases is one part I really do enjoy. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 08:58
  - nmb David -- (link) - Strongbad Aug 19, 08:56 [Backboard] 1
    - I saw it, and it's hilarious! Thank you so much for posting! -- nm - David Aug 19, 09:10
- Would be much better if his efforts were on a competitive team. -- nm - budice Aug 19, 08:51 2
  - who need more pitching, get more hitters! -- nm - groiny Aug 19, 09:15
  - Better for the game in general? -- nm - JD Aug 19, 09:00
- The stats from tonight’s game are hilarious. You name the category… Shohei Ohtani is at the top -- (link) - Beaker Aug 19, 08:48 1
  - 8-1, 2.79 ERA, 120 K in 100.0 IP, 40 HR, 18 SB -- nm* - JD Aug 19, 08:58
*blargh* -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 08:47 21
- like the new Eternals trailer? Do we consider it a "sequel" to the Avengers Tetralogy? -- nm - mud Aug 19, 08:48 20
  - NO ONE ANSWERED MY QUES- okay, I'll answer: yes, it's a sequel ..of sorts -- nm - mud Aug 19, 09:30
  - They are going to have to spend *SO MUCH TIME* explaining why they didn't intervene with Thanos. - Mop Aug 19, 09:16 12
    - Thought that was rather clear. spoil? - Spawn Aug 19, 09:18 9
      - I would take it like the prime directive in Star Trek. - Inigo Aug 19, 09:23 1
        
        Yeah, they have ONE job. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 09:41
      - except (spoils) - eag Aug 19, 09:22 6
        
        MCU is a simpler place. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 09:25 5
        
        It WAS (spoils) - eag Aug 19, 09:27 4
        
        UNLEASH THE THOR FROG!!! -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 09:39 2

        heh -- nm - mud Aug 19, 09:28
    - not really, they did it in one line in Endgame -- nm - groiny Aug 19, 09:18
    - really? thought it was obvious - Beaker Aug 19, 09:18
  - heh, that works. I am not feeling it. But then again, the Eternals were never my thing. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 08:53 5
    - Growing up, Eternals and Fantastic Four were far and away my favorite Marvels. -- nm - David Aug 19, 09:11 2
      - Was not a big FF fan, but (in opposition to my statement yesterday) the What If... the FF had other powers was a book I did enjoy. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 09:18 1
        
        There are certain books that have perfect runs that I enjoy, but then fade off and I drop, and FF is one. - Spawn Aug 19, 09:21
    - Maybe it will be another Guardians surprise -- nm - eag Aug 19, 08:58 1
      - ... but from the opposite direction. - Spawn Aug 19, 09:00
