Trivial Things That Make You Surly
I donāt believe you. Those napkins are so thin and flimsy that Iām pretty sure the pressure of the spring alone will cause a napkin to tear when you pull it out even if only one of them is loaded in the dispenser. And as long as weāre on the subject, how do they manage to load the pepper shaker so full that you canāt shake any pepper out of it? And then, when you unscrew the lid of the shaker in order to unpack it, ground pepper bursts out and falls all over the table because theyāve somehow managed to pack twice the volume of pepper into the vessel than it was designed to hold. How does that happen?

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
No, not on bad terms at all. CJ Stroud had the job locked up for two years. No one in Columbus wanted Quinn to leave but everyone understood his decision. There were no hard feelings at all because NIL was new, Quinnās situation was new, and no one had really seen him do anything on the field yet. Losing Joe Burrow had more of an impact but no one begrudged him his decision either and we celebrated his success. He just wasnāt going to supplant Haskins (RIP). It was what it was.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Columbus radio is playing Ewersā comments from a recent press conference about his time in Columbus. He roomed with Jack Sawyer who was in his recruiting class. A bunch of those guys he came in with are veterans on the Buckeye team now. He said heās looking forward to seeing them again. Iām sure thatās a complex dynamic because heād like nothing more than to win the game on the field but but theyāre also guys for whom he feels genuine affection who gave him nothing but support both when he was a teammate and when he chose to leave the team. His story, with leaving high school early and making six figures in Columbus without ever contributing anything meaningful to the teamās success, only to leave the team who made him a millionaire in order to chase more money and immediate playing time in his home state, is unprecedented. And now he has a backup QB who a segment of the fanbase would rather see take his job away from him. Thereās a ton of pressure, and opportunity, on the young manās plate right now. Obviously Iām hoping his reunion with his former roommate Captain Jack will turn out differently than you hope it does. Letās just hope this new expanded playoff doesnāt result in any career-ending injuries to the players on these teams from whom weāre demanding more and more sacrifice in order to entertain us.

How Fox News works
My whole fucking family. Itās like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Theyāre all pod people now. Even my mom. She watched some tv when I was a kid but not much. She used to refer to it as āthe instrument of the devil.ā Now sheās a Fox News junkie. (Or Newsmax when FN doesnāt provide the fix she craves.) I tried to get her to watch other sources of information. I told her to watch PBS News Hour. She tried it. She said it was āboring.ā (Youāre not supposed to find the news entertaining, Mom.) She doesnāt want information. She wants affirmation. She doesnāt care if they lie to her. She wants them to tell her what she wants to hear. Sheās an addict.

America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread
No, youāre right. Trump thinks itās a āshithole.ā Heās not sending troops to Haiti because he doesnāt give a fuck. Thereās nothing MAGA about helping Haiti. Nothing to āwinā there for him.

America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread
Itās probably political because Trump is a raging douchebag who talks a lot of shit just to suck up all the media attention and get people to talk about the latest bullshit to come out of his fat ugly mug. The media, and everyone else, canāt resist responding to every outrageous, stupid, arrogant, ignorant, racist, bigoted, reckless, thoughtless, foolish, treasonous, traitorous, corrupt, criminal, ugly, hateful thought that crosses his mind and gets injected directly into our information stream wherever we find it unless weāve completely unplugged ourselves from all awareness of the world around us. It sucks but it doesnāt warrant a thread in the current events board until he actually does something. Heās the worldās greatest bullshitter. Maybe we should focus just on the stupid, dangerous, harmful, illegal, treacherous, unconstitutional, criminal shit he actually does and keep the rest, as toxic and despicable as it is, on the back burner until it crosses the line from rhetoric to reality.

Gumbo
I saw the last post re crab claws, came back to reply about anchovies then found you beat me to it. Great secret ingredient. I donāt really see crab as a flavor that adds something but you canāt quite tell what it is. Anchovy is definitely that. Crab should just be crab. If you like what crab meat adds, try just adding a little bit of anchovy instead. Maybe just 1 oz. or so.

Trumpās America
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/colorado-man-allegedly-attacked-reporter-yelling-trumps-america-now-rcna185768 Colorado man allegedly attacked reporter after yelling 'This is Trump's America now' A Colorado man will spend New Year's Eve behind bars, accused of bias crimes for allegedly trying to strangle a TV news reporter while saying, āThis is Trumpās America now,ā officials said. Patrick Thomas Egan, 39, was arrested Dec. 18 and booked on a slew of charges stemming from the unprovoked assault on KJCT reporter Ja-Ronn Alex, 22, in Grand Junction, authorities said. Egan was still being held in lieu of $20,000 bond at Mesa County Jail on Tuesday afternoon, online sheriff's records showed. Alex, who is a Pacific Islander, told investigators he was out in the field when a Sunshine Rides taxi started following him, with the cab driver shouting aggressive remarks. "Are you even a U.S. citizen?" Egan allegedly shouted, according to an affidavit in the man's arrest. "This is Trump's America now! I'm a Marine and I took an oath to protect this country from people like you." Alex told his manager about the menacing suspect and she told him to return to the station, so he could be inside the "secure building and get away from" Patrick as soon as possible, the affidavit said. But before Alex could make it to the front door, Egan "chased after him" and "was demanding Ja'Ronn's ID and asking him if he was an American," according to the affidavit. The suspect then "tackled him to the ground causing his injuries," and put the victim "into a headlock and began to strangle him," the complaint said. Several employees of the station then rushed to Alex's side and pulled Egan's "arms from round Ja'Ronn's neck and held him on the ground until law enforcement arrived," according to the affidavit. Witnesses told investigators that Alex's "face was turning red as he was being strangled" by the suspect and that he was "losing his ability to breathe" during the attack that lasted between 45 and 90 seconds, according to the complaint. Egan was booked on suspicion of assault by strangulation, a bias motivated crime and harassment by ethnic intimidation, jail records showed. Heās due back in court on Thursday.

2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State
I thought the same thing about Ryan Day when he played Michigan this season. I thought for sure heād learned from his mistakes of the last few years. He hadnāt. I told everyone who would listen that in his next game they would be asking, āWhere was this team when they played Michigan?!ā Iāve seen this movie before. He coaches differently when he plays against Michigan than he does against other teams. Iām not worried that heās going to coach scared against Texas. I expect him to coach the same way he has in the games since then. If I were a Texas fan then Iād expect Sark to coach the same way as always.

You forgot USC but theyāve sucked for a little while now. But theyāll be back. Probably after they replace Riley. And Miami for mostly the same reasons.
