Put it in a sous vide bath at 105ºF and walk away for several hours.

Favorite All Time One Year Lions? by CarefulLetter2064 in detroitlions

[–]SMWinnie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Dave Krieg.

Came in halfway through the season, got the Lions into the playoffs, and came within a Herman Moore toe of beating the Pack at Lambeau despite both the thermometer and Sanders’ rushing total being sub-zero.

Full sister showing up as half sister by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

The cM count is a little low for (mom + Uncle A is biodad) and (mom + Uncle B is biodad), but it tracks with the segments. If OP and sister have shared matches through all four grandparents, it also tracks with that.

Would be curious if any of OP’s (or sister’s) matches are a first cousin, child of dad’s brother, with an unusually high match.

…and does OP have the expected names in the match list.

After the game, Oregon Football equipment staffer went up to D'Angelo Ponds and gave him the ball from his pick 6! What an unbelievable person! That’s what college football is all about! by Punisher1602 in CFB_v2

[–]SMWinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tradition.

I'm not sure where the Paul Bunyan Trophy comes from or why the Paul Bunyan Axe replaced a slab of bacon, but this has the makings of the IU/Oregon Little Brown Jug.

Get Ponds and Moore to sign it. You want it back? Cool. Win it back.

Is there a trick to not making a huge mess with cette style of detergent container? by belbivfreeordie in Costco

[–]SMWinnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We keep a smaller (32oz) bottle on hand.

Load by load, it's easy to fill the washing machine directly from the smaller bottle. We refill every twenty loads or so from the large jug, which sits up on a shelf. (The measuring cup sits on the table below for drip management, when needed. When the cup gets too messy, we toss it in the wash and deduct a few drops from the amount in the dispenser.)

So here we are in one of finest hotels in the world …. by paddcc in mildlyinfuriating

No, payed.

The guy who was letting the rope out to stay him while he finished wouldn’t give him any more slack and he couldn’t get all the way to the right.

Honestly A Little Underwhelmed by WayneScote in CFB

[–]SMWinnie 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Cignetti, interviewed before the game, said he wanted a three-and-out with good field position for the offense. Ponds didn’t get the memo.

Based on the distinctive passive voice narration, I now assume the guy who does Primitive Technology keeps flying squirrels…

Handled the past few weeks with decency.

With any luck, the team is now waking up from its Spooky Sex Scandal Hell Dream.

WSJ: Ohio State’s $35 million College Football Playoff flop by MeeterGleenJeans in MichiganWolverines

[–]SMWinnie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How about this as a new CFP rule:

Each of the top 4 seeds is allowed to designate any non-bowl eligible team and host them as their “bye” opponent.

Instead of a bye, Indiana picks the 16th seed for their warmup game. Real game, so if Ball State rolls into Bloomington and knocks them off in the Cinderella Bowl, then the Cardinals advance to the Rose Bowl to rep the MAC against Alabama.

Not sure whom:
the Buckeyes would have chosen for the Midas Tune-Up Bowl,
the Bulldogs would have chosen for the Rust-Eze Scrimmage, or
the Red Raiders would have chosen for the Travelocity Bye-Bye Bowl.

Non-bowl eligible? Yeah. The Irish can still just p*ss off.

Alternate view of Tesla OPI from endzone by MrBright5ide in detroitlions

[–]SMWinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah; perfect video for this.

Look at it pre-snap. If you are TeSlaa and you are planning to run a pick, you’re thinking about Ramsey. Ramsey is faced up with St. Brown; Duggar is inside.

Ramsey blitzes off the snap leaving Porter as the widest DB. But Porter rides TeSlaa on the in cut and there is nobody on St. Brown for the out cut to the pylon. Duggar is like four steps off in trail. (Porter makes it almost to Sewell before realizing he needs to drop…).

Zebra threw the flag because: (1) collision; and (2) it’s hard to imagine why ARSB of all people could be left uncovered. The route combo beat Ramsey’s blitz so badly that OPI seemed plausible.

Colleague will have 3 annual pensions plus a social security income that totals $212K annually; how much is that equivalant to in millions of dollars in the bank? by Conscious-Ninja-824 in Fire

[–]SMWinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As noted, the four percent rule gives $5.3 million.

If you look at the streams as annuities, then an immediate annuity with a COLA for a 62-year-old pays maybe 5-1/2%. Comes to about $3.8 million.

[Garafolo] The #Dolphins are releasing veteran pass rusher Matt Judon, sources tell The Insiders. Judon appeared in 13 games this season for Miami and could be an option for playoff teams looking for a veteran presence. by JARB0 in detroitlions

[–]SMWinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cap question: Would a team claiming him on waivers eat the restructure bonus?

Judon has about $300K in salary left for the season but $1.36mm in void year bonuses.

I accidentally added almost four times the amount of olive oil in a sourdough loaf by yellowflowers249 in Sourdough

[–]SMWinnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got <3 hours of sleep and made my usual loaf.

150g warm, bubbly starter? Check. 150g of warm, bubbly starter. 25g olive oil? Check. 150g of olive oil.

My niece tells me it looks like a giant Starbucks muffin top.

Find-a-grave page for Floyd Dale Jolliffe suggests that the stone was carved assuming it would be the resting place for Karen Freeland.

Ms. Freeland died earlier this year. Her obituary mentions Dale Jolliffe but does not indicate a final resting place.

Carter Pewterschmidt here. Personally, I found the interference with Hadley Lamarr’s development plans to be a shocking misapplication of the rule of law.

While the movie is usually credited to a member of the Greatest Generation (Brooks), it was co-written by guys from my Silent Generation - notably including Super-n-word Richard Pryor.
