  1. This is the best content I ever have seen on here. It beats @josie Josie's police donut animals, even. This is simply tremendous. I think I could watch this as least as often as I watch Robert Esche lose it, blow his cool, and flip his lid. Thank you!
  2. Sadly, I am without aquafaba and also without a need to make meringue. I'll try to be better.
  3. Two hours into this rabbit hole, I am enjoying these much more than I should. Maybe the two weeks of boredom have lowered my bar; maybe it's really just entertaining, but thank you again.
  4. Dane Jackson in toward the end of the first clip--had just been called up and so he had no nameplate. (Good thing he wasn't a goalie without a customized mask!)
  5. Well, the answer to question one is that we're throwing everything against the wall right now, as we should be. To question two, to make money. I didn't mean to imply that you should have all the answers, sorry!
  6. It's something to do; thank you.
  7. Exhibit 3000 to why I despise trading players for picks.
  8. Is it reliable? Article doesn't discuss that.
  9. At this point, I'm so bored that I'd watch them recreate the Ice Capades.
  10. "Everyone is moving to Seattle. It's the pesto of cities." Or something like that.
  11. It was on "How to Cook That" on Youtube recently. I watched it Wednesday. Can't believe the coincidence of reading it here now.
  12. To me, it comes down to FIFO. Gotta treat the patient who is ill NOW, and hope that the bed frees up for someone who becomes ill later. I have no problem with the idea of St. Josephs taking in patients from Elmhurst. I don't know how they'd get here, though. Were you at Suburban in 2013 by any chance?
  13. It's hyperbole for the sake of humor, but the way my niece (11) and nephew (9) are monitored is scary to me. And the participation trophy thing is real. Also, kids were pushed out of those jobs because of perceived harm, not because they needed extracurriculars for college resumes. Colleges look at jobs as positives. I also go to school with mostly Gen Z ers and until everything shut down, I was living with them. And before that, I was dating one. They definitely do not seem too hard nosed. But that could be my perception because I'm twice their age.
  14. Lexington Co-Op (small grocery around the corner from me) has had those up for a little while now.
  15. Oh, give it time. You should see what the Zoomers are up to. And then there's the generation behind them. I think they have to wear helmets just to solve math problems. I'm with you on the student loan thing, btw. I would have no problem if millennials' loans are forgiven even though mine weren't.
  16. Yeah, but what she did isn't merely dumb.
  17. It has to be a mental health issue, right?
  18. Not what I meant. I don't want a return to the 1920s where kids are working and not going to school. (Only one of my grandparents was able to finish high school.) We used to pay kids to mow lawns, shovel snow or use snowblowers, and deliver newspapers. That doesn't happen anymore. Too dangerous. The kid doesn't learn the value of a buck. We used to give trophies to children's sports teams only when they earned them. That doesn't happen anymore. Too psychologically tragic. The kid doesn't learn that you don't win all the time. We used to let teenagers drink, and we kept an eye on them. That doesn't happen anymore. Too dangerous. Now we ship off kids to college, they find alcohol, and have no way of dealing with it responsibly. Are minors even allowed to open bank accounts anymore without a parent cosigning? I honestly don't know the answer to this one. I had a bank account when I was 13, for the newspaper money. Parents weren't involved and didn't even know I had it until I used an ATM in front of them once. Do schools make kids repeat classes anymore or is that too financially taxing on the school system and/or detrimental to the kid's psyche? I don't know the answer to this one, either. As for the broader statement regarding colleges and universities, I don't know when we switched the purpose of higher education to vocational training rather than the pursuit of knowledge, but that was a mistake, too.
  19. I would caution against further nerfing the world for 18-21 year olds. One of the problems we already have is that we don't let teenagers be teenagers (or indeed younger children) the way we used to, which is one of the reasons why they don't understand some things at 18.
  20. As Eric Clapton said, it's in the way that you use it.
  21. I drove by a group of guys hanging out on what amounted to two front lawns (so neighbors were involved), all in lawn chairs that were ten feet away from one another, all having a beer or a drink. Seemed nice, Not being able to volunteer is killing me.
  22. Well, that ends it for me. It's stupid. Might as well make Ken Wregget #5.
  23. Not a hundred and ten percent? Low effort. Stafford.
  24. He really wasn't that special. He had an incredible rookie year, and then he played with one of the best teams the NHL ever has seen. Everything in between was meh. Gotta agree on your last sentence. Maybe the top 15 or 20, but at a certain point, it's just a battle of who is more famous and who played with better teams. Like if Richter is on this list, I'll know it's total BS.
