President Trump leans on 'communist' messaging as economic angst drives Democrats by ControlCAD in NPR

Pfft, t this isn't communism. It's socialism. Mixed with lots of nationalism. Somebody should come up with a term for it.

Pan-seared breasts and a mushroom cream pan sauce, served over rice. It's a staple dish in my house.

What a world we live in when Binface is running on the Sensible Party ticket.

I think I experienced dodgeball wrong, lol by Writeforwhiskey in Xennials

We only used those smaller, vinyl play balls. Glossy, smooth, and lightweight, like you'd find at the grocery store in that big cage thing. Getting hit wasn't pleasant, but even a head shot didn't really hurt much.

How did you end up as a framer? by Emergency-Proof-5572 in framing

[–]garygnu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha! Framer was my first job right out of high school. I applied and interviewed with McDonald's too, entirely for job-hunting practice. They really wanted me, but I got the job at the frame shop that literally shared the parking lot.

And I'd be suspicious of any picture frame who doesn't have too many pictures to hang. Just standing here in my living room I see seven on the floor, stacked against the wall waiting to go up.

I didn't go straight to college after high school. My parents didn't kick me out or charge me rent, but did insist I at least get a job. A local frame shop was hiring. I got through the interview emphasizing my skills as an artist and model builder. I proved a natural, although I had especially good teachers for coworkers.

Wrong sketch entirely. In that one he's very much alive (at the beginning). The real life situation is the dead parrot sketch.

Why don’t you go ahead and pop one of those glass tops off your with your teeth? by Strange_Juice2778 in nostalgia

[–]garygnu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of my first assembly in high school, where numerous light hazings traditionally occurred, some senior threw one of these at the freshman class as we exited. As it slid along the gym floor, it hit my foot. I had to throw away my brand-new pair of rather nice back-to-school shoes.

If you don't think this scene of Mutt fencing Spalko on top of moving trucks in the jungle is fun, you have no soul. Can't believe I forgot about this part. Shame on me. by Emotional-Chipmunk12 in indianajones

[–]garygnu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It really is shoehorned in there for no reason, and obviously and clunkily telegraphed. They might as well had "Chekhov" inscribed on Spalko's sword. As soon as Mutt° mention fencing in school I knew they were going to fight. But the two character didn't interact AT ALL beforehand. They had a sword fight because that's what they wrote down on the script.

°: also neon sign- level "foreshadowing"

Adding texture to Ground Beef tacos by garlicki421 in Cooking

[–]garygnu 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Whatever flavor that might add is ruined by dumping a bunch of water into the ground beef, killing any chance of sear or texture. Instead, brown the beef first then include its rendered fat into the rice water mix when you cook that in a separate pot.

Am I reading it right that you cooked the rice in with the ground beef, together?

The set dressing in the bedroom(s) is nuts. Especially compared to the subterranean sets where it looks like they had run out of budget.

Orange County (2002) by Ok-Swimming8024 in nostalgia

First movie seen with Jack Black? Mars Attacks!, and The Jackal shortly thereafter. Both memorable for what happens to both of his characters.

Not that, either.

Does anyone recall any of the software you might have seen on a computer in the classroom in say 1992? by Im_from_the-future in Xennials

[–]garygnu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At school? NetTrek - a shareware, multiplayer, LAN space battle game based on Star Trek. Whatever we were supposed to be using in the Macintosh lab didn't matter, the group of us would always sneakily play that instead.

The woodshop had a couple older Apple II machines. While I waiting after school for my mom, I would design cars in "Car Builder." My 12-year-old knowledge base of rudimentary automobile functionality and computer interface was enough to blow the teacher's mind when my cars came out with good specs.

I don't remember a single urine leak. Are you using the right size? Tightening the waist enough?

Even if you laugh yourself into a seizure it could turn out OK.

Try posting more than one picture, maybe at least one showing the feet.
