You just need to taste better chili crisp! At its best, and used appropriately, it is awesome.

The sad fact is that it's the material circumstances of America's orcs that has driven this anti-Trump swing more than any real moral qualms about his abject evil, but I'll take it!

Bechamel is the classic treatment, so. Also much less fussy about too much heating!

Once you've convinced yourself the fellow humans you are oppressing aren't quite human, the rest of the evil is easy.

We must keep in mind that all that gerrymandering they did is based on gaming the last election, not the one they're facing now. Making some of those districts closer based on the last map could backfire hard!

Whenever I do a pizza dinner on the weekend, I toss all the extra sauce, toppings and cheese in a boxed M&C dinner with like half of the provided sauce added. Grindy good!

Delightful weather up here in the Bay Area right now. Cool, snuggle-up-in-your-blankets nights and absolutely perfect afternoons for being outside.

"Mistake" has that effect on me, over two different humorous references. Which one I'll break into depends on the context.

...Better yet, leave the canned soup out until the end too. It's already been cooked to death. It's the meat, beans and tomatoes that need to spend some time cooking together.

The only thing I'm gonna judge about is pre-cooking the shell pasta and then cooking it another 20 minutes in the stew. That's just wrong. Either throw it in dry 5 minutes in, or else add it cooked at the end. I do the latter, because it reheats and freezes a better if you keep the pasta separate

The House can issue as many impeachments as it wants, but the Senate is not going to convict those scoundrels no matter how much they deserve it.

Talk about the banality of evil! And I'm pretty sure the only reason this is all coming out about her now is that she's been kicked to the curb by the inner circle. Everyone else is still on the take with impunity.

The entire FBI will need to be rebuilt from the ground up in the wake of this madness. They have lost all credibility as an actual law enforcement agency.

While it will definitely be better to have Congress working against Trump than working for him, we are far from out of the woods yet. As pressure on him mounts, Trump will do ever more desperate things to try to assert power and avoid accountability, leading I fear to a real bloodbath at some point.

That movie was a laugh riot for my 11 year-old brain when it first came out, and it's still a laugh riot for my 61 year-old brain now. Such is the genius of Mel Brooks.

For the first time in our entire history, we have sided against the victim rather than the aggressor in a European conflict. How we can ever expunge that stain is a mystery to me.

Or you could maybe provide a bit commentary when you post such things rather than just expecting people who don't know who you are to somehow construe your sarcasm when you present something like this without any comment at all. I didn't ask for you to pop up in my feed.

Selling out millions of people who want nothing more than freedom and self-determination to make an empty economic gesture to placate a relative handful of know-nothing voters.

The insane beef prices in California right now have basically put an end to my consumption of that particular cut. I mean, I guess I'll shell out for the annual Christmas roast, but beyond that I am eating less beef in general and otherwise making the most out of the less desirable bits.

And is that water sanitary? Well, no, but it's not like it has hookworm or anything. It's like any other puddle in the street.

It's a few ill-considered houses getting battered by big waves on top of a very high tide, plus a bunch of ocean water slopping over the seawall and flooding the streets a few blocks back a couple of inches deep. Nobody is going to get swept away unless they actually wade out into the surf....

Looking it up, 400,000 tons is around 1 day of the average US demand for diesel and heating oil. That will have a marginal impact on the market at best.

I just wish it were going to bring more rain to areas further north. We could sure use it to cut down the fire danger.

It isn't, but the idea that they're pulling this crap in DC is pretty laughable too, given that those people already have no voting representation in Congress.

Jaws was a perfect film, and after some bad sequels and knockoffs there was a perfect reuse of its core concept, which is to say Alien, that spawned its own franchise. The only real way to get any new milk from that old cow is to wait for everybody who sat through all that the first time to die.

Trump has single-handedly created a global black swan oil shock event through multiple idiotic foreign policy decisions. As a result, the sustainable energy movement has never had more political leverage in its entire history. Now that's some 11-dimensional political chess!
