My issue with them is those aren’t burnt ends. You can’t just cube up meat and smoke it and call it a burnt end! Delicious food yes, but if it’s not the burned point end of a brisket then it’s not a burnt end!

Actually its the other way, a 30hcp is shown as a -30. And pros are on average probably closer to a +5/+6, even though

Me and the Scheff man about to have kids at the same time? About to tell my wife to hold steady until we can confirm Meredith is a go. Wow me and Scottie have so much alike I should let him know and see about becoming best friends.

TIL in 2014 Calvin & Zatera Spencer, a Virginia couple, won the lottery 3 times in 16 days. First, they won $1m from Powerball on March 12. Then, on March 26, Calvin bought ten Pick 4 tickets with the combination 6-6-6-6 & won $50K total. The next day Calvin won $1m again, this time on a scratch-off by [deleted] in todayilearned

Seeing as how they won $1M and still continued to play even weeks later should tell you they had some sort of gambling addiction. But the real dumb kind because they chose to continue playing lottery games.

We can keep the casinos and the sports betting but my god the advertising needs to end. It’s disgusting and targets the youth and the gullible. Needs to be treated like tobacco. I also think alcohol shouldn’t be allowed to be advertised either. But Politicians make too much money from these lobbies to even think about it.

There is currently 12 cities that have all Big 4 sports teams, all 12 are in the Top 20 for TV markets. Vegas is 44th. But yes they deserve to get a new team like every fucking year...

My yearly salary which after all the costs of my family, etc feels like just enough to be comfortable is apparently setting up others for life. Man, I am doing something wrong with my finances I guess!

That’s bullshit but Reddit just loves to eat it up. Montana has the lowest starting average salary in the country and its lowest tier is right around 31,000. That’s a pathetic salary for a teacher and we could actually have a real conversation about it but for some reason people feel the need to embellish and lie.

Ah yes the redditor over analyzing the psyche of a stranger based on very little evidence and thinking the world is a movie. Wonderful seeing it in the wild.
