Please. The Clintons are a distraction from Trump himself and that is all.

Now that’s sad.

My nieces and nephews are obsessed with Roblox. Without them I never would have played. They pulled me in the other day, with one of my siblings, and I found myself in the most poorly crafted Sims game (after 4) that looked like it was drawn with crayola markers by a 6yo.

I get the appeal, they pull in family across states while FaceTiming and such. No one is paying for anything. I can’t imagine anyone playing Roblox solo or putting money into it. It’s pretty bad. What it is is a venue for online get-togethers, one you can laugh at because it’s so bad.

I’ve tried olive oil. Idk what it is, maybe user error, but those cures seem to be very delicate. Like the olives are all primadonna about touching such a base metal like iron.

I don’t use lard with cooking. My beef these days is limited to pho and a bi-yearly burger, but my rationale was, what did grandma use? Why was she soaping hers up in the sink with impunity?

Lard. And layers.

I respect the baby it approach too, and vegans, if that is your way.

Whatever works, it’s in.

I use an iron skillet for most things, it gets cleaned then takes up real estate on a stove burner until the next day.

Most of the time it’s just enough oil to sear things. Salmon. The white meat chicken with a bacon iron on top. Each needs some oil for Maillard rxn on the hot iron and non-stick, in addition to flavor and moistness.

It’s liquid at room temp. It’s minimal. When the pan is cool enough, a dollop of dawn, a light abrasive without a lot of pressure (it’s a tactile thing, cast iron people know) and the soap slurry goes right down the drain. I’ve owned for 25 yrs, no issues.

(Because someone is about to start text screaming: If it’s a new cure or a cure done in 1-2 layers or a weaker fat, any abrasive or cleaning will likely kill it. I use lard for my cures while lightly washing with hot soapy water in between. 5 layers/rounds of cure. Then oil it after each use for the first month post new cure. Then, it’s solid, just wash and dry, and you can use a light abrasive. We have a 12, a 10, three 8s, and three 5s in circulation.)

Now, if I make Pho, I’m not skimming the beef tallow/oil off into the sink. I wait for the broth to cool, crack the disc of solid lard off the top, and drop it in the trash.

Popcorn pan, sink. Salmon in the pan, sink. Dark meat chicken in the pan, cool and scrape those solids into the trash.

It’s about amount and what it does at room temp.

But the salt.

If work wants me checking email on the go then they can supply the phone. I don’t have an email app on my personal phone.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

Only it ends badly because the whales don’t want to talk about it any more. Or can’t talk about it because they’ve been cooked to death.

This is the right meme for the class war.

It’s like the adventurer party that shows up at your keep in NWN1, looking for work.

How is progress on the Crazy Horse monument? I’ve swung by once a decade since I was a teen, but it’s been 11yrs since my last visit.

I only read the headline on that one.

Microsoft is now, essentially, a bag of dicks.

He’s desperately falling back on Obama and Hillary to distract from his pedophilic involvement with Epstein.

HCR is a national treasure. She’s on YouTube.

I can’t imagine where they’d find doctors and nurses to work these Trumpian facilities.

There aren’t enough psychiatrists and psychologists for the current job openings. Nurses are likely too marketable to work that type of job unless they’re so bad they’ve been rejected everywhere else.

Of note, prison is the #1 provider of mental health services in the USA. They can’t fill their psychiatry job openings either.

But this might be the plan. Forced rehab in for profit prisons.

This reads a bit like he wants a return of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, just without the lobotomies.

Extending involuntary commitment past “a danger to self or others” to include vagrancy is quite the stretch.

The current landscape of medical hospitals is such that involuntary psych holds are often boarding in a medical bed, using extra staff for closer obs for up to a year each, waiting for placement to a mental health bed. Empty mental health beds are rare. Even outpatient therapy is defunded, even in blue states.

Where does Trump think these people are going to be commuted to? Or is his plan to concentration camp them in places like the bedlam of yore?

Why September? If you’re announcing what you’re going to announce what is the point?

And now we have data centers sucking up all the tap water and electricity.

Reads like more material for the Palantir machine.

I would support a better version of this.

Deficit is a major piece. They talk about it and then invariably increase it every time.

RNC lowers taxes, technically, but only ever in a way that hurts working class. DNC leave it all as is, never changing the bottom line.

First draft meme, here.
