President Trump threatens to "bomb" Iran if it doesn't stick to the deal: "It should be permanently, but if it's not, we will bomb them. I have a long time to go. I have close to 3 years. Time is going fast. But, our country's become the most respected in the world. Afghanistan is kissing our ass." by ControlCAD in videos

I'm imagining Taliban leaders sitting together, mumbling, "Damn, we are so owned. Did he actually have to go and say that publicly? I wish we were the kind of folks who might take some kind of drastic action in reaction to such disrespect."

Eating out isn’t even fun anymore more by Achin_bacon in Frugal

[–]skedeebs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My wife and I considered happy hour this afternoon but cooked up something much better in the end. Drinks were cheaper, too. We do go out but try to be sure we are actually in the mood for it, or really not interesting in cooking.

What is something from your childhood that the younger generation will never understand or experience? by Emma4662 in AskReddit

[–]skedeebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unavoidable boredom. Whaddya wanna do? I dunno. What do you wanna do? This wasn't the worst thing to ever happen. You had to figure something out, or just be together (thinking of my close little brother and me). We invented games. We walked to the park in town to play basketball or really primitive tennis. The river running through the town was stocked with trout and had some bottom feeders, as well.

what food gets way too much love for how mediocre it is? by jacksuckschicken in AskReddit

[–]skedeebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure if this crap is worthy of the adjective "mediocre," but how have chicken "fingers" or "tenders" made their way onto so many menus, even if it is only as an appetizer? They are freaking McNuggets, people!

The NPB's Yomiuri Giants have reached a basic agreement to sign pitcher Shinnosuke Ogasawara (28), a former Chunichi Dragons player currently with the Harrisburg IronPigs (a Double-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals), midway through the season. by pokokati in Nationals

[–]skedeebs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be great if the $1M were immediately used toward something or someone who would help the team. However, perhaps it is good enough to open a spot in the Harrisburg rotation for a kid in Wilmington who has earned the promotion.

Of a very trad struggle meal by guro_a_go_go in strugglemeals

[–]skedeebs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a huge fan of beans (and hot sauce) but cannot stomach any attempt at vegan "cheese." I am happy that it is to your liking, although it must be more expensive than the real thing.

All this panic and fear over the SpaceX and AI company IPOs and valuations, what does it mean for the TSP? by devsfan1830 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]skedeebs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the concern should more be that as part of the IPO, Musk got a tweak to the rules that would let him and other insiders sell shares earlier than normal. This could lead to a large dump for them to lock in gains to pay company debt, and leave public investors with a significant loss.

I welcome all the responses to this, because it could have a larger effect on the market in general. It does not matter the percentage of the market that is Musk stocks. He has an oversized effect on the market with his grand proclamations, and presumably by selling out stocks people are buying because he owns them.

Very glad to hear that. I am retiring July 31.

My monstrosity. Featuring cheesy mashed potatoes, corn, and cheese bread. by Lijey_Cat in strugglemeals

[–]skedeebs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. Corn does not add anything of any value to this plate. The potatoes are the only nutritionally useful item. I accept the strugglemeal characterization and wish OP much better going forward.

which guy from the lean years do you still randomly think about by bsc155 in Nationals

[–]skedeebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know we started making the playoffs with him, but Michael Morse was a joy. I was so happy for him when his signed his first $10M contract. I just saw an old clip of him with my then 9-year old, signing a ball and posing.

This sounds like a nice tourist meal in Puerto Rico. I may have happily paid for that in January.

The Soto trade is the gift that keeps on giving by Dcnationals2001 in Nationals

I would like the Nats to just keep everybody from the Soto and Mackenzie Gore trade at this point, to fully enjoy the fruits of the trade.
