- So I’ll let others do the, whatever you need, thing. I’ll be the one who says, you are doing good. It’s going to take a long time to even get to… - Qale Oct 4, 18:13 1
  - That last paragraph was very kind. Thank you -- nm - crash davis Oct 4, 18:14
- I have passwords to every streaming service, including NFL+. It has all football games this year. Just message me if you want any. - David Oct 4, 17:50 9
  - Thank you so much. BTW, I received such a kind heartfelt message from Musubi. He said he occasionally lurks here, so if you want s-talk the Mets... -- nm - crash davis Oct 4, 17:52
  - BTW, if you skip to the most recent four episodes of Critical Role, it apparently gets wild. -- nm - David Oct 4, 17:52 7

- All my love to you, my friend. My mom overcooked steak as well and was the reason I didn't like it until I went to a steakhouse in my 20s. - Krusty Oct 4, 17:38 22
  - There’s a reason we make jokes about Irish cooking in our house. - spamlet Oct 4, 17:59 11
    - You don't often hear people say, "Let's go out for Irish food tonight." -- nm - Krusty Oct 4, 18:07 10
      - Only if there's a good Irish pub out there. -- nm - Meg Oct 4, 18:08 6
        
        Doyle's (was noted as a top ten bar in a national magazine for best Irish) seems to specialize in Cajun, go figure -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 4, 19:23
        
        Sure but people will say something about going out to the pub or for drinks, not specifically for the food - zork Oct 4, 18:22
        
        Sure, for drinks and bar food an Irish pub is a great place. - Krusty Oct 4, 18:19 3

  - this was my mom with pork chops. -- nm - mafic Oct 4, 17:54 1
    - Those were hit or miss. But it came with Rice-A-Roni usually so I'd end up eating a lot of that some nights. -- nm - Krusty Oct 4, 18:06
  - My mom called me last night about half an hour before I was supposed to go over for dinner. She asked if I had any tapioca I could spare. I did not. - crash davis Oct 4, 17:46 7
    - I think Bill had tapioca at one time but I've never used it. My mom used to make tapioca pudding but I've never thought of it. -- nm - Meg Oct 4, 18:02 2
      - I think unmemorable would be a fair adjective for it :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 4, 18:05 1
        
        Tapioca, sago, or rice pudding. I don't know there's a difference. -- nm* - Meg Oct 4, 18:09
    - my grandmother would have asked this and then would have been offended when I said no. - mafic Oct 4, 17:56
    - Ha! Of all the things someone could ask you to bring I wouldn't expect tapioca to be it. -- nm* - Krusty Oct 4, 17:49
    - Already got big plans for that pantry full of tapioca, huh? -- nm - Ender Oct 4, 17:49 1
      - Gonna corner the market and then make a fortune in tapioca futures -- nm - crash davis Oct 4, 17:51

  - I'm proud of my straight face -- nm - crash davis Oct 4, 17:33

Shows with bad opening credits: Andor is a damn fine show with an opening title sequence that I find utterly uninteresting & too long. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 16:49 3
- Walking Dead -- nm - Ender Oct 4, 17:00 2
  - And every single show whose opening credits are over 60 seconds. -- nm* - Ender Oct 4, 17:09 1
    - To be clear, Andor's credits aren't actually too long; rather, they are merely painfully long for what they are. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 17:10

- Confident in your nakedness? -- nm - Todd Manning Oct 4, 16:00
- lol. But I still cant believe that fan turned to run *that* way. He could of ran for awhile if he kept going the same way. -- nm - Jovian Oct 4, 15:57 2
  - Not sure how strategic this was, but the photo of him getting tackled by Wagner clearly shows the URL and is being widely distributed. -- nm - psilotum Oct 4, 16:12
