    I roasted a bunch of tomatoes a few days ago. Filled a 9x13 pan with a variety but mostly Campari’s and grape, with a chopped head of garlic a couple of jalapeños, basil, olive oil.  
     

    Had some leftover so heated up, a couple of eggs nestled in, and covered with a lid.  Yolks were still runny, and wife loved it.  A play on shakshuka.

    These are my go-to, but I do wonder how they have 17 varieties of "sweet" tomatoes.

    In all seriousness, @MrBig, I was kidding but I wouldn't personally care at all if someone brought a snake around their shoulders like that as long as they weren't letting it crawl around on food or whatever.

    As far as worrying about if it's venomous, I'm not sure if you're serious about that but I also recognize that I'm a huge animal nerd and not everyone else is. There are maybe a [very small] handful of venomous snakes you would be able to handle like that without getting bitten, the overwhelming majority of venomous species are simply far too aggressive to drape over your shoulder and walk around with. Certainly none that you could readily find in the US with the exception of a hognose snake, but they're generally too small to carry like that anyway.

    At any rate, that's just a [likely red tail] boa. They're completely harmless though they tend to get rather large.

    As far as should it be in a grocery store? I mean, probably not, but I would assume if the store had an issue with it they'd ask him to leave or at least not to bring it back next time. Either way, it's a pretty harmless act.

    Yep.  I have Fotmob for soccer matches.  When watching an Austin FC match on Apple TV, I have to set my phone down and take my watch off, because it will notify me of a goal being scored 60-90 seconds before it happens on my screen, so it's a real spoiler.  I could disable the app for the match, but I often forget.

    mlb app has a toggle to delay notifications by 30 seconds so your stream can get there first. making it adjustable might be the next step.

    I had a strip of sports bars a block away spoil the ending of an Astros playoff game (Yordan walkoff) while I was watching the stream lol

    When the Astros won the 2017 World Series we knew about 60 seconds before we saw it, because the Little Woodrows down the block was going fucking ballistic

    i bust out the antenna and play terrestrial AM radio for those games. usually the fastest.

    (i spoiled it for everyone in the neighborhood)
