  1. This post confirms that I don’t know enough about how multi-party democracy function to be able to really add much. But it sure feels like if from my perspective, having more choices would curtail some of the blatant partisanship. It also seems that it would make gerrymandering a bit less clear cut, but maybe not.
  2. That’s all well and good and I’m of the opinion that anyone still voting Republican is just a flat out bad person. And the legality of anyone and everyone to own anything more automatic than a bolt action rifle is just reason 1000. But the fact is that the two party system allows clean segmentation of single issue voters and “bus” voters to be convicted that the other bus is going in the wrong direction. Hardcore “the government should have no say in my life” libertarians and people that want the government to regulate the legality of medical decisions should never be voting in the same direction, but they do here in the good old USA where democracy is just red vs blue kleptocracy. In general, I agree with you that this is a failing of the GOP evilly painting gun control as a freedom issue. I don’t think that is entirely separate from the complete inability of a legitimate 3rd party to rein in the ability of both parties to shape everything as us vs them.
  3. But because of the two party system we have here we have busses that go east and west, when most of the country wants to go north.
  4. It’s an electric smoker and a gas oven. I figured the electric box would do a better job of holding. I think the lowest setting on my oven is 175 or 185, whereas the electric smoker’s lowest setting is 100 so I assumed that would have an easier time holding a low temp than the oven firing gas for a short period and then shutting off and cycling all night/morning.
  5. Smoking brisket and pork butt today for lunch tomorrow. The meat will likely be done in the range of midnight tonight. Should I rest it, then refrigerate it after it’s done and reheat closer to lunch time, or set the electric smoker to 160-170 and just hold it hot, wrapped in foil for 10 hours?
  6. Pens are out. Guess my team is the stars the rest of the way.
  7. I can’t wrap my head around being in the arena and the second your team wins the series and your first instinct is to pull out your phone instead of just enjoying the moment.
  8. 3-3 at the end of 3. OT. next goal wins the series.
  9. Fuck yea! Pens take the lead on a great short handed goal.
  10. I don’t think it’s too much water, but I’m not sure. The rest of the plant is great, growing fast and strong. Thanks, I’ll give that a shot.
  11. What is happening to my tomato plant’s stem? Of the 8 plants I have they all seem to have been affected by this to some degree. On some it’s just a section of the stem with no hairs. This was the strongest of the plants other than this section.
  12. iiiiiiiigoooooor iiiiiiigoooooor
  13. Shesterkin is so good.
  14. Make it 5-2. Fuck.
  15. Pens were dominating play early in the 3rd and Shesterkin made a handful of great saves. Rangers toss one from the corner towards the opposite circle and it hits one of the penguins in front of the net and bounces in. 4-2 rangers.
  16. Avs - preds gonna be over before this one.
  17. To clarify, 3rd string goalie in with Jarry out with a broken foot.
  18. DeSmith leaves the game with some mystery injury. Backup in halfway through the 2OT.
  19. Man I love overtime playoff hockey.
  20. And on that note: Let’s go pens!
  21. Wow. Pretty surprised they overturned that one.
  22. Local new reported that there were over 90 shots fired in Pittsburgh. 200 people at the house, 90 shots fired, only 10 people shot, 2 dead. Unless the two that died took the majority of those bullets, that’s a lot of shots that didn’t hit anything.
