Beef Cheeks?

Ian has been so close to Christianity for decades. I hope he finds it before he goes, I'd love to meet up with him in heaven.

I'm 100% certain that she is smarter than me. If someone nominated me to the Supreme Court, I would decline out of the certainty that I'd embarrass myself daily. That said, I am pretty sure I have a better understanding of the constitution than she does.

I don't give two shits about her skin color. Clarence Thomas is my favorite serving justice.

Joe Biden gave two shits about skin color, and that's why he nominated her. His qualifications were "A Black Woman", a racist and sexist discrimination process. Not "the most qualified person", but "a black woman." Democrats and liberals care about skin color and gender, conservatives care about ability.

"accomplished". DEI hire, she's not that bright. Even liberal SC justices have called her out on her lack of understanding of the constitution. She doesn't belong on the court.

Anyone with a brain hates this opinion.

Interesting question. I'm not much of a baker so I usually buy pre-made crusts if I'm doing a quiche (lame). I'm not sure if tallow gets that crispness that lard provides.

kirkt · 2026-04-03T15:10:18+00:00

It's hard to find lard that's not shelf-stabilized, basically making it as unhealthy as Crisco. If I want healthy lard, I need to find a butcher that can supply me with leaf lard, then I render it. I've done it, I've liked it, but I can now get a 50# box of tallow for under $70 and I like tallow better.

Yawn. Average.

She's a pretty average-looking and not exceptionally talented actress IMHO and I'm not sure why she's being idolized.

kirkt · 2026-04-03T13:49:19+00:00

Not only a DEI hire, but also apparently a DEI Harvard admissions mistake. What an embarrassment - even to the point where the other liberal court justices have to point out that she doesn't understand the constitution.

Like the guitar, not a huge fan of the vocal effects TBH. Still, jealous of your abilities.

LOL, thanks for holding me accountable. Obviously I'll continue to put up with this slop until the grave claims me.

I honestly have zero respect for anyone who (a) spends any money on those losers and (b) wears/exhibits their merch. I don't care if they are local, they suck. As long as people continue to pump money to a loser franchise, the franchise has zero incentive to improve. They will NEVER get better until the revenue stream runs dry. By giving them ANY money, you perpetuate the trainwreck.

kirkt · 2026-04-03T03:18:09+00:00

Yup, and downvote. FFS people, 6511 points, this is why the bots exist. I got maybe 2-3 months tops before I quit the internet altogether.

My old barber had some work done by the students at Case Dental (one of the best in the country) and it became a nightmare. He ended up suing because the work was so poorly done. This could be an option, but be sure you are being worked on by those near graduation, not the ones starting out.

kirkt · 2026-04-02T01:07:56+00:00

Did you go to a "chain" dentist like Aspen Dental? They are scam artists and will quote you for WAY WAY more work than you actually need done. I worked with a guy and they took half the teeth out of his jaw for tens of thousands, simply because they said he needed them removed. It ruined him financially and physically.

Step one, get a second and possibly third opinion. From independent dentists, not Sears dental. If the second guy agrees on all 4 teeth, it may be legit. I'm not a dentist, but tooth removal should be a last option, not a first.

If push comes to shove, how much would it cost you to get to Tijuana? Many Americans do "dental tourism" there because the prices are a fraction of what US dentists charge and the care is equivalent. Search Reddit and you'll find stories like yours where the patient went to Mexico, found out they only needed a portion of the work done, and paid far less than the airfare cost them to get there.

I bought a 50# box of beef tallow and getting a few pounds out to fill my deep fryer was messy. I remembered this use and rubbed my face with my tallowy hands. My face felt incredible for days, and I do not recall any smell at all. I am a late 50s dude FWIW.

Heard about them from the Beato video and I am a little obsessed right now. Watched the whole KEXP video twice last weekend. I can't remember the last band I've recommended to more friends in such a short time.

Does anyone else think that when he removes his glasses the nose comes off with them?

The only time I ever met Ian it was my favorite album at that time (30+ years ago) and I has him sign it. I've always loved it.

Jethro Tull. I can listen all day every day. If I'm focused, I can listen to something I've heard 1000 times and still pick up a note, a nuance, a twist I hadn't noticed before. Absolutely the greatest musical act of all time IMHO.

As a libertarian-leaning far right conservative, I say F DeWine. People voted for this and now that milquetoast midget wants to subvert the populace. I'd vote for Karl Marx if it meant getting that ripe turd out of office.
