  1. Like dcbc said, it should be okay, but I have yet to try it myself. Word of caution though, if you're going to be using store-made chicken stock, make sure it's gluten free, because some retail brands have gluten-containing ingredients. We have a friend who has celiac, and a couple years ago saw first hand a reaction to having just a little bit of gluten. It wasn't pretty.
  2. I mean, if Biden hadn't dropped out after the assassination attempt, that forecast would have been perfectly reasonable.
  3. The first assassination attempt was probably the last good thing. It was after Biden's awful debate performance, and it seemed like the general consensus was that the event would only charge up the MAGA base and polling in Trump's favor. In fact, my thought after reading about the assassination attempt was, "well shit, it's over now."
  4. I don't know if it's one of his more popular books, but I loved Duma Key and have read it twice.
  5. Looks like a movie, and I read the producers pivoted from a theatrical release to streaming.
  6. Wife and I will be back for ULM. Maybe it'll be less populated, but we're ranked No. 1 and a chunk of fans are going to be fawning all over Arch Manning, so there might still be a good crowd.
  7. I only watched the first half of the Tennessee/NC State game, and I know the Vols ran away with the game in the 4th quarter. But that NC State team lacks speed and athleticism, and their QB is extremely average. Given how abysmal OU's offense looks, Tennessee might beat the Sooners by two scores, and I'm still not sure what that will tell us about the Vols. But we will know that OU sucks.
  8. He might be, and yes, it's sad, just like listening to the last couple U2 albums and thinking, "Damn, they just can't bring it anymore like they used to." But he can still deliver his fastball. Fairly Tale was excellent. And after reading If It Bleeds, the novella featuring Holly Gibney, I'm looking forward to Holly. I think he writes that character very well, and I thoroughly enjoyed the Mercedes trilogy.
  9. Right. I don’t recall a specific connection to vampires or the ‘Salem’s Lot story line.
  10. Give this a shot. It works well with mine, though it’s larger and holds about 4-6 thighs depending on size. The skin always comes out nice and crispy, aided by the baking soda. https://stemandspoon.com/chipotle-air-fryer-chicken-thighs-keto-gf/
  11. This page fucks. Well done, guys.
  12. This should serve notice to Billy Liucci that he needs to really step up his game, because he's about to be supplanted as the Longhorns favorite aggy.
  13. Yeah, still a lot of football left this season against much better competition. But if our defense keeps this up, it'll be remarkable to have a defensive coordinator who's managed to improve since his hire. The last few DC hires regressed pretty awfully after their first seasons. See, e.g., Manny Diaz, Vance Bedford, Todd Orlando.
  14. Vince is the greatest indeed. And I know all about "ifs and buts" and am stating the obvious, but as great as that 2005 team was, we got very lucky on the injury front, and if Vince went down for a stretch like Quinn has the past couple years, we may have dropped a game in that 2005 season. So yeah, we're very fortunate to have a backup QB with a ton more talent than Matt Nordgren.
  15. Of course we are. You make bigoted remarks using the veil of "DEI" in a movie thread. It's a bullshit move.
  16. You might have left out a word. Or maybe you were remarking that it appeared Vince had been smoking a doobie.
  17. That's what I recall. I read the book somewhere in my late teens after I had seen the 1979 movie as a younger kid. It's nowhere near as long as books like The Stand or IT. And like a lot of books adapted to film, there's a fair amount that the original film left out, likely due to just available film time. I highly recommend.
  18. You're an idiot. I guess in your world, the casting call for Mark Petrie should have included something along the lines of "If you're anything but a white actor, don't bother showing up." Or, maybe, when all of the child actors showed up for the audition, casting should have called out, "Good morning, everyone, thanks for being here. All of you who are black, hispanic, asian, or otherwise nonwhite, you can leave." Or maybe, just maybe, the casting call didn't specify anything about Mark Petrie's race, and maybe, just maybe, that after all of the child actors auditioned, they chose the one who they thought was the most talented and best portrayed their vision of this character, and he just happened to have been black. Simply crying out "DEI!" is lazy at best, racist at worst.
  19. aggy will overpay for DJ Lagway in the off-season.
  20. I was too. My memory might be exaggerating, but I recall that Floyd Casey was about 70% burnt orange.
