Luka is a fat dumb idiot and the Alt Cast is better than the TNT broadcast.

Thanks for attending my TED talk.

What did Luka do to piss you off? He's an incredible player.

Was googling for info on a decent pellet smoker. I'll never use any traditional smoker that requires very much attention so it seems like a decent option.

Anyway, reddit had some pretty good things to say about the Makers Mark from Sam's Club. Anyone ever use one?

I'm currently strongly leaving towards it as much for the smoke tray as anything although the induction burner might be nice for searing. Downside is it's makers mark, but the reviews make it sound really well built.

I have one that I bought around six years ago.  I hardly ever use it because you will have to babysit this sucker as the pellets don't drop down into the feeder and make a center hole and you will lose the heat setting if you don't use a small stick and push the pellets into the feeder bottom.   Maybe they improved it since then.

Is your auger broken?

That iconic hot dog + drink combo for $1.50 might be the best value you can find in America. It feels like they just do it as fan service at this point.

Then it sounds like Biden won the election?

I noticed the sign, chuckled briefly to myself, but didn't feel like posting about it.

I may have said this one before but  :dunno: Work people that set up meetings for simple questions. I feel like zoom has conditioned people to think a full meeting with 8 people is necessary for every conversation. I go to meetings all the time that could have been done over a teams message or a quick call. I had a guy call me this morning 20 minutes before a meeting and he tried to tell me that they needed to move the meeting because so and so couldn't make it. I said, "what did you need"? He just paused and there was awkward silence. I then said, "like, we are talking right now and i'm happy to just answer any questions you have, or we could just wait until another day when more people are around". More awkward silence and he finally goes, yeah, we can just do it now.......Took like 3 minutes.

This is more of a peeve, because everyone feels this way.

everyone (me) thinks they are basically a libertarian until the child bride, no drivers license, owning a machine gun talk starts happening.

I used the think I was a John Stuart Mill libertarian, and still do. But the Libertarian Party is something quite different. It's basically Republicans who don't want to identify as Republicans but want to avoid any consequences for their actions.

This is all so very Libertarian (not to be confused with libertarianism).

Well that settles it. I'm voting for Trump.

Right. My bad. Did anyone catch game 2 of the Mavs v. Wolves series last night? Luka is incredible.

What time's the game? The Mavs play tonight, so I'm unsure I'll be able to watch.

Best to avoid all cops, but especially in Missouri.

They certainly do need more parking around the stadium

Bruh. It's on The Hill.

Good question WM, Jamaica is probably going to be my next Caribbean destination.

Of all the places I've been in the Caribbean, and there are many, I enjoyed Jamaica the least. Maybe consider the USVI or BVI, if you haven't been.

Also, Purdue playing in a conference championship game 2 years ago and still being T4 is a perfect demonstration of just how shitty that conference is.

I was frankly shocked that KU wasn't in T4.

Potter Lake? Is this true?

Edit: It is true, but they're just spending money ($1M+) to make it better.

I’m thinking about moving

I finally made up my mind and found a new place yesterday! I get my keys in 3 weeks. Pretty excited about it because it's brand new. Moving sucks major ass tho, not looking forward to the actual process.

Hire movers. I'm never moving my crap again.

Oh yeah the last several moves I've hired movers and won't ever not again. It's just packing up all my junk and then setting everything back up, especially my office. I roll 5 monitors across.

Do you work in the Matrix or something?

calling concrete "cement" is just wrong, there is no debate. The only reason you would call it that is that's what some old dumbass called it who learned it from some other even older dumbass and then passed it on to you.
And then also they pronounce it SEE-ment just to sprinkle a little layer of gross on top of being wrong

This exact discussion was recently had on the Phog in the David Booth Erection Thread.

And I must confess, I too will take one spit into the urinal or terlit, and I too have no idea why. Just an ideal spitting opportunity?

honestly I'd prefer being around a giant group of KS Nascar fans to what I imagine the Euro F1 fan archetype to be. maybe I'm being a bigot towards slimy, smelly euros here though.
Honestly I'd bet hardcore Kansas NASCAR fans and hardcore Euro F1 fans are very similar but overall agree I'd prefer the Kansas interactions

The euro fans are smellier and also smoke cigs 24/7

But they're (females) also more promiscuous, so you could probably F1.

I also have to laugh that Alito has a vacation home on the Jersey Shore  :ROFL:
To be fair (on this point only) he's from New Jersey and the beaches themselves are very nice

I disagree with your assertion, Sir.

Trump stores are like the weirdest thing. They dot the landscape in Florida, and presumably throughout the South. And apparently the trashy parts of N.J., i.e., everything except Princeton and where Manhattan commuters live.
