  1. I do wonder how much of this is cherry picked. Look my food bill is high. I have a family full of food allergens. One kid who is allergic to peanuts, egg, and cannot tolerate lactose. A wife who cannot have gluten or peanuts, a daughter who also needs to avoid gluten, and a boy who can eat anything. A loaf of bread for my wife/daughter is $7-9, and it isn't particularly large. A loaf of white bread is typically $2-3 and is double the size, but is also loaded with a bunch of bullshit and preservatives. Due to a genetic mutation, enriched wheat products are a no-go in my home as well. So I found Izzo sourdough bread which is about $4-5 for a load, can grow mold, and isn't loaded with preservatives and that works for us. So, while a typical family might only spend $3 on bread per week, I spend about $12. Yes, there is a convenience price. I tend to buy blocks of cheese and shred it myself. My kids don't really do well with the dyes in candy, so I buy more expensive candy (giggles instead of skittles) to give them a treat. Non-dairy ice cream is $4-6 a pint and is not always available with fewer alternatives. Regular cow-milk, is $4-6 for a gallon.
  2. Know how I know you didn't watch the game? Quinn has limitations for sure. I have a belief (subject to change) that he does better when he doesn't try to think so much. But Cam Williams getting pushed around and playing like sophomore Chris Jones (self-tackling, missing blocks, and not making contact with the defense is a real problem. The offensive line shouldn't be falling for stunts and committing multiple false starts either. Golden seems to be playing well, Bolden is highly motivated and had a judgement lapse, but gives so much effort it is easy to overlook. We are missing Baxter, and I am not sure what is going on with the sudden bout of fumbles from our backs. The issue is that the QB gets a shit load of blame and a shit load of credit. Both binary perspectives are stupid and lazy. A receiver adjusting to the ball is their job. Lastly, I tend to think that Sark is not really trying to gamble or go aggressive early depending on what he is seeing. Since Arky's offense was largely impotent vs the Texas Defense, my guess is that Sark was content to just run the clock, make some throws here and there, take few risks, and take it easy. When Arkansas scored and started to make it close, Texas immediately responded and scored pretty easily, then went back into cruise control. I really do not think Michigan/Florida et al. made significant half-time adjustments to limit Texas' offense. But that is just my interpretation, I could be wrong.
  3. A 12 pack is about $9, and it is mostly because people are willing to pay for it. When their inventory gets too high, they just revert to sales of 3 12-packs for $4/each. At the grocery store you can see people stocking up on it then. It is entirely price gouging piggybacking on inflation. Inflation was really about 8%. What we saw in the stores were much higher than 8%. Combine that with multiple egg shortages due to disease outbreak, the prices for those rocketed up as well. The other issue is that we do not have a Teddy Roosevelt type of leadership to clamp down on the reactive and cartel type behaviors of price fixing. If someone sells you a product that which you are addicted, they can raise the price and their buddy can raise the price and both of you benefit. The free market is not so free.
  4. Slight different interpretation. When I used to watch Bevis and Butthead, I knew they were idiots, I just assumed everyone else did. Now, I don't think we were laughing from the same perspective. Sometimes the running joke isn't a joke to the stupids. It is an aspiration.
  5. What was the root cause of it? Look, these dumbfucks voted for it twice. So fuck em.
  6. Maybe he is just going through the motions required to join EMCC?
  7. Sure Southern California has great weather, traditions of winning, elite networking opportunities, beautiful women, great social scene and activities, but do they have a dixie chicken and bottle cap alley?
  8. So Trump is accidentally going to help stabilize the Texas grid (by booting the bitcoin miners)?
  9. there are literally 5 people between him and the guy you expect him to see here. And we have a total of 6 guys in a line, 3 others defending him out of 11 players.
  10. Maybe people hate them because they are rigging games. See, you still cannot even own up to the B12 giving you multiple games against us through blatant bias in officiating. SEC has issues as well but it is still better than the B12 by a large margin.
  11. Goddamn you are an idiot outside the cloakroom as well.
  12. No catch, and more blatant holding on their lline
  13. Pathetic offensive performance. Were they doing shots before the game?
  14. aggy excuses coming in 3, 2,
  15. Could have called 3 holds on that play
  16. Bullshit no call
  17. Streaming is slower than cable which is slower than over air.
  18. Nah, Quinn needs to step into the pocket and block more.
  19. Come on man, this was as predictable as all hell. I know howI feel in the AM and Tyson has a decade on me.
  20. When my father worked in Miami, he would park a shitty old car at the station and use that to drive to the office and then drive it back to the rail station. Then he would hop back in his better car in the West Palm area and drive home. He loved the train.
  21. From a cursory search, he seems like a quasi-intellectual who has a lawyers knack for trying to establish a niche for himself by reinterpreting what was settled many decades prior and he pretends to know the mind of the authors of the Constitution. But his ideas seem to falter under rudimentary scrutiny from what I can tell. If we want to be strict constitutionalists, then let's do it. Tell me his address and I will open my mustard-gas manufacturing facility right next door to his home and kids. I mean, where does the constitution claim I cannot manufacture chemicals and use industrial fans to direct the flow of the waste? His free speech stuff is equally idiotic. Since the founders could have no predicted that there would be a megaphone of advertising, we should be allowed to slander/libel one another. I am sure if I created AI images of him before and after raping animals and children he would have no problem with this, especially if I had the resources to blast it 24-7 on banners, websites, articles, and tv/radio-stations. And then when someone caves in his skull with a metal dildo, I am sure he would be happy to know that I can wash my hands of this, because it is constitutionally protected speech. Administrative power rose up likely out of necessity to get experts in regions to help set standards because of the complexity and expertise required. The idea of creating separations in drilling oil wells was largely because of SpindleTop where ignorant masses wanted to get their piece of the pie and in doing so, fucked everything up by overdrilling the formation, damaging the environment both in terms of water and air contamination. Yeah, environmental concerns dating back to the early 1900s in this state was a thing.
