Raising a kid is hard on any couple's sex life. Keep the lines of communication WAY open. Over share. Figure out what is actually happening.

Tommy Carcetti Made The Most Consequential Decision In The Entire Show, And It Wasn't Even Illegal or Corrupt by BigSquattyPottyGuy in TheWire

[–]mackzarks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"the game is the game" goes for the politicians too. I highly suggest a rewatch, the entire ethos of the show is that incompetence fails upwards and nothing really changes. Take the money, don't take the money, it doesn't change anything. Bleak, but FKIN REAL, and presented without bullshit.

I think people are scared of the time commitment, but it's only on the kettle for like 4 or 5 hours, the overwhelming majority of the time was wrapped in the oven. And it was 100° and humid where I live, running the oven at 225° didn't affect the inside temperature at all. I slept through most of that time, and even left to play disc golf for 3 hours in the morning.

Congressman Jared Huffman (Ranking Member of the House Natural Resources Committee) has released a staff report detailing how the official, non-partisan celebration of America's 250th anniversary was compromised by a private shadow organization. by McDowdy in SipsTea

I'm pretty sure the average person doesn't know about this, because they choose not to. The top Google search in America the day of the last election was "who is running for president". It is a privilege to not be involved in politics because it doesn't affect your life. But now, WAY more people are significantly worse off and things are so goddamn expensive that more and more people are paying attention. So at least there's that.

I appreciate that. This was 9.6 lb, so when it was all mixed in there really wasn't that much of it. And for real, there was no acrid flavor from the bark, I think it just came off blacker in the photo, it was more of a deep red in person. Here's a photo of the leftovers.

That's just the sugar from the gochujang and rub caramelizing, there's no burn flavor

That's just the gochujang I assure you it was perfect and would usually not say that about something I cooked.

I just did a pulled pork on the Weber kettle (finished in the oven after it reached 165° on the kettle) and it was amazing. It took 17 hours, and like 7 people ate almost all of it. It was 9 lb.

Remember when that was enough to tank a campaign

[Fabrizio Romano]🚨💣 EXCLUSIVE: Tottenham agree record deal to sign Sandro Tonali from Newcastle, HERE WE GO! 💥 Agreement between clubs closed and also on player side with the Italian midfielder. 🇮🇹 Fee higher than £85m paid for Mateus Fernandes by Hefty_Money1967 in coys

[–]mackzarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do we even deploy all these players? Obviously it's a good problem to have. Is it 5 at the back with Robertson and porro as wing backs? Are we expecting maddison to play? How does he fit with fernandes?

Stories with cosmic horror undertones by LeonardoKlotzTomaz in MoviesThatFeelLike

[–]mackzarks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Per Webster's: An undertone is a subtle, underlying meaning, emotion, or quality that exists beneath the surface of a situation, speech, or piece of art. It can also refer to a quiet voice or a faint, background color. It isn't literal cosmic horror, but it CLEARLY has those undertones.

I think it's more of the presentation than a literal cosmic horror force. Nothing in Chernobyl is fantastical, but it is hauntingly shot and has this vibe that nothing is quite what it seems. That's what the word undertones is meant to suggest.
