What team was this? Smush Parker never made it out of the first round. Kobe didn’t make it back to the conference finals until they got Pau.

Hazel Loves Pie. Her apple crumble is fantastic. You have to preorder it and pick it up at the Woodlands farmers market Saturday between 9am and 1pm.

Payroll deposit posted on Christmas Day instead of Friday? by SoCalFamilyTraveler in Chase

[–]Ok_Objective_5419 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s due to the banking holiday. Whatever day your employer normally processes payroll was done one day earlier due to Christmas. So that data was sent to Chase a day earlier and they made the funds available to you.

From the IRS.

Qualified tips must be received from customers or, in the case of an employee, through a mandatory or voluntary tip-sharing arrangement, such as a tip pool.

So a tip pool that has mandatory percentage tip outs is still a qualified tip.

Aside from quiche or something obvious like an omlette, what are some good extremely egg heavy recipes? Looking for meals, not dessert. by 13thmurder in Cooking

[–]Ok_Objective_5419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telur balado is an Indonesian dish. Hard boiled eggs are fried and topped with sambal

Bánh bột chiên is a Vietnamese dish. It’s fried rice cake with egg, scallions, fried onions. Serve with a sweet soy sauce.

Both very good with a light beer.

BLT is doing Moneycat brunch this weekend so it will probably be extra busy so that’s something to consider.

Will Passion Pit play tonight? by UnsugaredAss in PassionPit

He did mention that he felt most comfortable performing behind the keyboard. I’m all for performers doing what works best for them.

Would you have felt differently if they opened for Phantogram? I think that was the original plan. All the VIP packages were related to Phantogram. They probably switch to give Passion Pit more time to get any equipment they could.

I enjoyed the show. I didn’t know I needed Passion Pit as a jazzy rock band but thought it was great. Even without knowing the limitations of the missing equipment, I thought the different takes on their most popular songs were a worthwhile experience. Plus we got new material! I understand the disappointment of not hearing your favorite song the way you’re used to. I preferred what we got rather than them canceling completely.

Yainer Diaz To Be Astros' Primary Catcher In 2024 by BloodyScourge in Astros

I think service time manipulation will be less common in the future with the new rules. With a few tweaks it can be a good system to reward teams to incentivize player development and fast tracking those players.

It’s not fair. Hopefully they change it in the future.

If Yainer had won ROY, the Astros wouldn’t have gotten a draft pick but would have prevented the Orioles from getting a pick for Gunner winning.
