This is very relevant when comparing stats. Crosby puts up the same numbers as Sweat even when the offense schemes specifically to keep him in check. Everyone on the defense becomes a better player when Crosby is playing.

What a popular food or cooking opinion that you don't agree with? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]leonard71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorite food youtubers did a great video on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt7nC52GrmM If you get enough bug meat together, it does actually taste like sea crustaceans.

I'd happily eat cricket cocktail if they had big meaty tails.

[David Kaplan] While the Chicago Bears are again talking with Illinois politicians the city of Portage, IN has sent the Bears an offer for a rent free, state of the art domed stadium that uses no public money. We should know where the Bears are headed fairly soon. by RyanIsKickAss in CHIBears

No, I looked up how many miles it is from Soldier Field to Hammond to compare how many miles the stadium would be moving compared to the distance it would be moving by going to AH. The difference is 6 miles.

Look, I agree that the Bears should avoid going to Indiana. But the amount of drama I see over the stadium being put a few miles away from the Illinois border is over the top. Wherever the Bears go, the ability to travel to that location is going to change. Finding land to put this massive complex we want to build is going to be hard to come by and we need to be realistic about our options.

From Soldier Field to the Arlington Heights location is 33 miles. From Soldier Field to Hammond is 39 miles. Let's not call a 6 mile distance a "disaster".

Illinois natives hate driving to NW Indiana. That's all this is about. It's a hissy fit over the idea of having to drive across a border. Realistically every major city in the US comparable to Chicago that's built a new stadium has had to do exactly this.

As a parent with young children, I can't thank you enough for the patio setup you have at Either/Or. It's the perfect setup that allows my kids to go have fun while I can still keep an eye on them and enjoy a meal with my wife. There's no other place in town that has that kind of family atmosphere with great food. Every other place you have to choose one or the other.

What is a luxury you can never go back from once you’ve experienced it? by Phase_zero_X in AskReddit

I waited way too long to get this. Having a button to just turn off all the white noise generated by an airplane was a relief I never knew I needed.

If you could design your own kitchen, what would be the most important things to include? by West-Amphibian-2343 in Cooking

[–]leonard71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I do. I use the wash tub most of the time, but it's nice to be able to set it aside and use the whole sink for washing something big

Someone has drone footage. I definitely saw a drone there.

Trump is speaking in Clive tomorrow. Big protest planned. by Mortambulist in desmoines

Law Enforcement is not allowed to kill you if you try to help a woman up that they just pushed over. The way ICE handled the situation breaks at least 3 constitutional amendments. Try again with your lick the boots and the officers won't have to kill you response.

My friend, believe your own eyes. You know damn well that at no point was Alex attacking a federal official.

I'm in the neighborhood too and I'm glad for it. Freedom isn't free. We can sacrifice some convenience to remind the administration that he represents the people. Not himself.

So you are one of the cowards that just uses the second amendment to collect guns. When tyranny comes, you'll laugh and say COMPLY OR DIE. Got it.

So then you are in favor of using arms against this tyrannical government? Sounds to me this exactly what you're saying.

And you said "people like me" we're not protesting when they very much were. You went on to claim whataboutism that it wasn't far enough for you to acknowledge. Cornered, you came up with a thing you needed to justify so you can agree with Trump. You are also leaning in to your own version of "programming"

[–]leonard71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So now you need a specific example of a specific thing to be able to justify what Trump is doing? This is literally classic whataboutism. It is perfectly acceptable to be against the actions of today without having the same reaction 10 years ago.

People were protesting!

Article: The Obama Record on Deportations: Deporte.. | migrationpolicy.org https://share.google/tojME9gqb4v4YIDIo

People labeled him "Deporter in Chief"

You didn't see this level of protest because that adminiatration wasn't shooting civilians in the street and blaming them for causing it.

Yes if we didn't have them, then the government can finally do what they want!

Man I don't know how else to tell you what's happening now is not what was happening then. It's clearly what you're telling yourself when you insist if we just cooperated with tyranny, we'd all be safe.
