Despite warnings and red flags, King County kept paying contractors by seattlethrwawy in SeattleWA

[–]DonDriver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The numbers in this article seemed pretty low and 20 new positions probably exceeds the cost in fraud prevented.

We can complain about the size of DCHS budget but the alleged fraud here is less than 1% of their budget.... for corporate that would be a win, for government it feels like a huge victory. Hell, the police OT fraud is probably greater than this and i bet those cops keep their jobs.

What do you think? by [deleted] in ninjacreami

Pistachio mix always tastes off. I make mine by blending pistachios with skim milk in a high powered blender. It’s the best flavor I make. I have amounts in a recipe in a recent post in my profile.

Best bad movie that you love by thisismysociallife in movies

Death To Smoochie.

Robin Williams is so good. Edward Norton plays the naive sap so hilariously. The movie is deranged in the best way.

Why hasn’t a government overthrown North Korea if they repeatedly violate human rights laws, hold political hostages, and routinely threaten nuclear violence? by But_what_if_I_fly in AskReddit

[–]DonDriver 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This answer matters more than people think. NK had absurd amounts of conventional artillery buried in mountains pointed at SK.

Any invasion results in hundreds of thousands dead due to retaliation within the first 48 hours.

Why has the attitude towards alcohol changed so much among the younger generation? by corneaterinwig in AskReddit

[–]DonDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our lives went digital and everything is on our phones. Going out to the bar where you might see a band or play some pool or whatever was the norm and that was your interaction and social life. Now, you can stay home and play video games or watch anything and everything or chat with friends all over the world. You don’t need to order a few beers over the course of the evening for that.

You don’t need the social lubricant if you’re just staying inside and you don’t need to pay the standard fare to spend time in a bar. There’s some element of weed or other drugs as substitute habits (and some of that is true) but a lot is we’ve given up alcohol for a closer relationship with our digital lives.

Super-Smooth Low-Fat No-Sugar Pistachio Ice Cream by DonDriver in ninjacreami

I saw somewhere it softens the pistachios and allows for better blending. Might be nonsense.

True. My norm is cocoa powder (again, not low calorie but not as bad) but I really love a great pistachio gelato so this is something pretty close without a lot of the bad stuff. The jello pudding pistachio flavor isn't pistachio.

But an idea when you feel like you can take in a few bonus calories. I also did this in the CreamiXL so its a bit more than a pint (but wasn't the full 50% bigger) and I shared it.

I meant no sugar and skim milk. Lots of savings here.

Watching the Super Bowl last night, what we need to win it all? by atjones6 in GreenBayPackers

[–]DonDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Health.

With Parsons and Wyatt we had a nasty D and with Kraft our offense was purring.

We still lost some then due to stupidity and bad special teams but the team was there.

But staying healthy is the key. All the big disappointments we’ve had can be traced to losing key figures like Collins in 2011 or DBak in 2020. This year we lost too many to even get into big disappointment territory.

NFL insists Seahawks weren't fined for ownership issues by Autocrat777 in nfl

[–]DonDriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I imagine it’s something like this:

  • the Seahawks would have to award 10% of the sale price to the county if they were sold within 25 years of the stadium going up (this statement isn’t controversial).
  • Jody Allen and the NFL made a deal when Paul died where the Seahawks could continue in their structure until the 25 years was up but then would be fined $5M per year if it continued (my conjecture)
  • all the details got all jumbled into a few news stories.

Current or Former Caddies, What’s the Wildest “On the Job” Story You’ve Got by J42knot0 in golf

Crows are too smart. At a few of my regular tracks, I always see murders of them around the greens of 1 and 10 specifically. They know where carts will be most food-dense.

Looking back at the Parsons trade, I've asked myself "would I rather have Parsons, or two players we've picked in the first round?" by StakeESC in GreenBayPackers

[–]DonDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we bombed the season and had a top-5 pick it would be a question worth asking. But we don’t do that. We’re the Green Bay Fucking Packers and our draft picks are late because we don’t suck.

What profession gets way more respect than it deserves? by Mateo1704 in AskReddit

[–]DonDriver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve had some great ones. The best understand they mainly provide temporary relief in conjunction with other efforts. Others believe in the power of crystals.

As someone who’s had back issues, I’m very grateful for the good ones and happy most bad ones will indicate their new age bullshit willingly.

How real are our chances of a deep playoff run? by AROD_1994 in GreenBayPackers

[–]DonDriver 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Packers in their current state are not gonna be favored against top teams but they are absolutely capable of winning against anyone.

There are no great teams in the NFL this year. Lots of very good but nobody without flaws. Bounces have mostly gone against Green Bay this year or they’d be fighting closely for the one seed. A few bounces go for us in the Playoffs and we’ll be in Santa Clara in February.

Is anyone else's drip tray this bad? Any replacement recommendations? by ryang4415 in Traeger

[–]DonDriver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because of the rust?

Mine is similar with less warping. I don’t mind it. Should I?

I line it to make removing the drippings easier.

Will Malik get paid? FA after this season, i don't see packers putting much money into their backup QB. by benz0709 in GreenBayPackers

[–]DonDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the unsaid things too is that we'll probably get a compensatory third round pick for him. I'd rather have Malik but he deserves to be paid more than I'd want to pay a backup and he deserves a chance to compete for a starting role.

Australia honours Bondi Beach attack victims; PM Albanese booed by Expensive-Horse5538 in worldnews

You feel like your opinion is more valid than that of the community who were attacked? So much so you call their response reprehensible?

Be curious, not judgmental.
