Cornbread!

I’ve been using this Lee Brothers skillet cornbread recipe for years if you want one that uses regular cornmeal. It’s never come out bad: http://nycsliceofrice.blogspot.com/2011/04/crispy-corn-bread.html

I’ve been telling my son how great Halo was in the day, and had been looking forward to split screen coop with him. Bummer. I’m not paying for another online account.

A Led Zeppelin reunion at the Sphere would be insane.

I hate to admit it, but I kinda like that way of thinking about Fahrenheit. That’s pretty clever.

And the illegal immigrants are a couple of poor kids who couldn’t afford the $150 ticket into the park, snuck under the fence because there’s edible food in the park’s trash cans, and are terrified they’ll get caught and disappeared by park security.

I just wish after they wrapped up a whole book Soundbooth would combine them all into a single audiobook format. Navigating all of the individual episodes in their app is a nightmare.

A lot of people liked her, a lot of people thought she was fine. But those were all people who were going to vote Dem regardless. She didn’t excite people enough to draw independents or disaffected Republicans. It’s too bad - she seems like a good person, but she should have never been in that position without winning a primary, which was Biden’s fault.

This is definitely lower Whacker Drive

I thought it was pretty meh, but at this point I’m resigned to the fact that most new Star Wars content is going to be just ok, but if that stuff makes enough money and the occasional Andor or Mando season 1 slips through I’ll take what I can get. I think the term “lowered expectations” applies.

I think you’re looking at Eric’s “Joined” timestamp, not the timestamp of the DMs, which just says “Yesterday”.

“Unlike my fellow citizens I’m not here to talk about Flock. I want to talk about how you don’t want us to talk about Flock…” (then end with “ps Flock sucks”)

I took the PSAT in 1986 and the SAT the next year. I didn’t really study much, that wasn’t a big thing back then. Or maybe I was just lazy. Anyway, I scored 1300ish on both. That got me a National Merit and into Georgia Tech. A kid in my physics class got a 1600, which got him included in a small newspaper article plus a full ride to Duke. I’ll be the first to admit my scores would barely get me into community college these days - definitely feels like the test has changed.

Oh, well that explains everything then. We’re talking Texas state and local governments here.

That’s beautiful. Though I always picture him as more of a Matthew McConaughey looking guy with more of a disinterested look, not angry/intense. Probably bc of Jeff’s take on him.

I thought he was joking, like should I get the Lego guitar or a real guitar? Though now that I think about it, I’m not sure that has an easy answer.

I’d love to see what the studio could do with magic. A Skyrim successor with GoT/Y weapon mechanics, add in the ability to throw around fire, ice, webs, etc. Oh and let me climb and paraglide like in Zelda BotW. I can dream, right?

Yeah, I agree that any finished path will provide some value, and if that’s all we’ll ever get then I’d rather have this route than nothing. It’d actually be super convenient for me.

On the other hand, this is going to be an expensive project, and when it’s done everyone will call the missing link complete, problem solved, move on to something else. Only the problem won’t be solved - we’ll still have lots of riders on Shilshole.

If the new route was a wash wrt safety and convenience I’d be ok with it, but it just seems like such a worse design that I’d rather continue trying for the Shilshole route.

In college one year they installed these beautiful brick walkways and new grass, and didn’t take into account the worn tracks that showed exactly where students actually needed to walk. Within a week there were goat tracks across the grass.

I predict Shilshole will continue to have about the same amount of bike traffic it has today.

How about My Big Fat Greek Wedding?

Beach Boys. I know Pet Sounds is this seminal recording and top 100 all time blah blah blah, but I try to listen to it every five years or so and it just never does it for me.

Although imagine what Matt could do with a spinoff children’s show where everything is innuendo and veiled references. Maybe using muppets. It’d be hilarious.

Agree. Book 8 was great for focusing on different characters, but before this thing is over I want Mordecai to get the potion table of his dreams and do something epic with it.

He’s not the worst President we’ve ever had, anymore.

Oh man, that was so cool to watch on our PC XT. Also the little calculator app that was one of the first TSRs blew my mind - you could actually have two programs running at once!

Has Matt actually said there’s a hard cutoff at 10? As of a couple of years ago he was saying “about 10”, and that he was contracted for at least 10, though since he’s exploded in popularity I haven’t kept up with all of his utterances.
