“Just put a little tinsel on your ent.”
“My daughter got stuck on the roof despite my warning – she can get herself off.”
“Encanto is the story of a magical family, the Madrigals, and their beautiful Casita.”
“she can get herself off”
Giggity.
“The window is about two foot above the roof”
What am I missing here?
I’m guessing the euphemism refers to this:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3894744/
“the notion that the distance between a woman’s clitoris and her vagina influences the likelihood that she will regularly experience orgasm solely from intercourse”
Distance from roof to window etc. etc.
How do you know all this stuff? I’m giving you the new handle of Encyclopedia Erotica.

Whoop, she bop?
I thought it was ‘boop’.
Are they still doing that? I cant keep up.
Jokes aside, I am completely on the dad’s side on this one.
When I read that she is 17 years old, all sympathy was gone. She can stand the 2 hour wait. She had her cell phone. What he did was appropriate. Of course his ex was furious; she is his EX and probably always judges his actions critically.
Kid learned a lesson.
When I read that she is 17 years old, . . . .
Old enough to vote according to many people.
And I’d bet daughter cranked up the drama when she called mama.
“Mommy, Daddy won’t come home and help me get back in, and I’m SOOOO SCAAAAARED!”
(Narrator: She really just has to pee.)
Agreed. I would leave my daughter up there a good long time to make sure she learned her lesson.
Rachel Naomi Perri, from Tasmania, Australia, appeared in court on Monday facing “25 counts of computer-related fraud and one count of fraud,” over allegations she made 475 “fraudulent transactions” during the three years she was employed at the hospital (2016-2019), stealing a total of AUD$940,221 (USD$680,000).
So she will be imprisoned, just like everyone else in Australia. At least she had a good time.
Q: How can you tell if an Australian is in prison?
A: He gets his meals for free!
They are apparently charging internees, those mostly aboriginal people they send to COVID camp, for their detentions.

I’m glad I got to visit Aussieland before it went completely mad. It’s still one of my prized memories — sitting on the beach in Queensland, watching the waves roll in, drinking piña koalas.
GAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
I’m glad I got to visit Aussieland before it went completely mad.
#metoo
Though I didn’t have any piña koalas. I ate kangaroo. I drank a lot of beer and cider.
Pies with gravy? Flet whoites?
/not mocking
The kangaroo dish I remember was a mix of grilled kangaroo tips, grilled chorizo, and vegetables.
I did have meat pies and pasties while in Australia, but none contained kangaroo that I know of.
I had a flat white or two while in Australia. Too milky for my tastes. I did appreciate that oftentimes iced coffee in Australia included a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Inflation is too few goods being chased by too many dollars. In our case we have both (and in both cases due to government malfeasance). Unless and until those issues are solved, prices will keep going up (…and up and up and up).
One piece of good news – filled up the car today, $3.29/gal, down from $3.43 last week. Not expecting this to last, but I’ll take it.
I filled the car today… still $3.50/gal 🙁
It’s over $5 a gallon for all options here in the Bay Area, with premium typically over $5.25. You can find a few discount stations under $5, usually with long lines waiting to enter.
I’d love to know what percentage of that is fuel cost vs CA and Fed taxes.
I forget the exact number but it’s something like $1.25 per gallon.
Your special CA blend and lack of local refining really must be really wonderful.
It’s one of many reasons living in this state has become ridiculously expensive.
Highest in the country, but still doesn’t account for the entire delta

Until the prices go up.
Then it’s Trump’s fault.
I want my goddamned Trump prices back. It was 1.72 or so here. Then I want everyone who helped Creepy Joe get elected horsewhipped and stripped of their right to vote.
Can we re-introduce the idea that only property owners can vote? Is that so bad?
Yes, unfortunately. Large entities simply buy up all of the land and voile’, Mutual Life Insurance Shmuck has all of the votes.
How about you dont get to vote if you take one penny of govt subsidy or assistance?
I like that.

Who is still stuffed from Thanksgiving? OK, and who is still eating anway?
My wife has taken note that I’ve make approximately fifteen trips to the refrigerator in the last day in search of leftovers. She has declared it an addiction, and decreed that I must cease my behavior immediately.
I can’t believe she expects me to quit cold turkey!
Careful with those puns, Swiss may beat the stuffing out of you.
Eh, it is a holiday weekend. He’ll likely just roll with it.
Something pun can something something.
Little help here?
You trying to butter Swiss up?
I pun for the fun of it. The narrowed gazes are just gravy.
Sage wisdom there, UCS.
I expected a dressing down at the least.
I made a two inch thick NY Strip steak for thanksgiving. It didn’t last the night.
Sounds like she doesn’t carrot all about your problems.
I’m still aghast that she hasn’t figured out this side of me.
I told her, “This is what I yam!”
I expect Swiss won’t just mincemeat around and will roll up this thread.

With the official start of the girlfriend being ordered to quarantine for 2 weeks, things are already getting… interesting… at home. Bringing back some semblance of sanity (for a given value of sanity), I’ll kick off the Zoom/Happy Hour/Third thing at 20:00 Eastern.
Two weeks quarantine? Oh boy, sounds like fun. Did you test positive?
No positive test for me yet, just for her.
So contagious!
Best of luck. Went through quarantine BS with both my sons on separate occasions last year. At least the GF has you around, my youngest was in a room by himself (at school) for 10 days.
Two weeks? Sorry.
Mine was ten days.
I hope you all get well soon.
Oh dear. I have been through many, many quarantines. Get the puzzles and boardgames out. Also I will see you in ten minutes?
I don’t believe we’ve been fully introduced… this is a somewhat out of date collection of my games.

Like the vax — anyone who deems it worth taking, that’s your business — but given the comparative risks of the virus itself, I think I’m fine with probably already having it and being willing to get it again. :shrug:
This.
The fundamental concern I have is that it appears Big Pharma has used Covid as an excuse to cheat some very expensive experimental medical technologies forward in the development process in a way that seems to impact the evaluation of safety and efficacy. The entire system burned all their goodwill and I don’t trust them to evaluate these medicines dispassionately.
To be fair, I don’t expect to get pregnant any time soon.
Viruses dont reproduce.
See, when I hear this kind of shit I know these fuckers A) dont have a clue what they are talking about and B) cannot be trusted as far as you can spit.
We’ve had pills that are viable and safe treatments for some time.
Shame they’re generics.

Not many leftovers around here. Spuds (which XY has dibsed) and green beans (which XX has dibsed). I’m about to make punkin pies for the kids.
Yeah — I expect teenagers and leftovers are mutually exclusive sets.
When you see adjusted NICS (PICS) checks for Black Friday, know that 2 of them was us.

Got the box o’ BluRays from Amazon in record speed last week and last night I completed Disc 1 which is the first half of the first movie. Pairs well with my new TV. Haven’t watched in at least a decade when my option was a crappy .mp4 file on a long-since retired PC.
I love this series but not with the obsession needed to care about the question they posed in the linked article.
I started reading it, one paragraph in had a thought “Why is this a story?”
I can’t. That trash has zero appeal.

Hi Riven!
Happy Thanksgiving! I ate so damn much that I haven’t had any food today. Even after a 5 mile walk and lifting, I still can’t eat.
A perfect holiday, really.
Man you must be backed up.
Nope! All systems go!
recent internal poll of Polygon employees found a split editorial edifice: The office was deeply divided on whether Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy was best watched as a Thanksgiving movie marathon or a Christmas movie marathon.
Why not just watch the movies whenever you damn well please?

I see no problem with what he did.
With prices on the rise, many households are looking for ways to save money this Thanksgiving season. Fortunately, NBC has the perfect solution: don’t buy a turkey. In fact, if you’re really on a tight budget, Washington Examiner editor Seth Mandel suggests skipping Thanksgiving all together.
I don’t like turkey all that much, and in fact, if I cook for Thanksgiving turkey is not on the menu. Despite that, these folks rate only a hearty “Fuck Off” from me.
This breast meat is definitely not leftover.

I read that and am having trouble determining whether the language of the clause excludes Communists from the protections of the Act, or whether abuses of rights by Communists are not protected against.
Wintry mix has been coming down all day. Rain/sleet this morning shifting to rain/snow this afternoon. No idea if it’s going to stop or go to all snow, or if it’ll affect the turnout tomorrow

Vaccines to reduce the population?
I’ve seen much speculation on various anti-lockdown/anti-Lil Rona Panic Theater channels that the Lil Rona vaccine is part of a depopulation plan.
Ditto. Like the moon hoax theory, I have a hard time believing that so many people could keep quiet about some secret depopulation plan. It would require so much foresight and planning that I doubt it even remotely possible.
They aren’t so secret about it.
“1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

LOL of course she did
She is starting from the point of view of “Well, I’m not going to be one of those killed to meet those metrics”.
Yep. The only rational response to these ghouls is “you first.”
Oh, im not naive enough to think that there aren’t elites who would love to decimate humanity. In fact, the affiliation of Gates and Soros with the vaccines gives me substantial pause.
I guess I wouldn’t be too surprised if it came out that the virus or the vaccine were engineered to eventually kill some substantial portion of humanity. That said, the burden to overcome my skepticism is pretty high on that one.
I’m with you, Trashy. I don’t doubt at all that the desire is there in certain circles, but the number of people who would have to keep quiet is just too large to believe it’s being accomplished.
It’s bad enough they’re forcing humanity to be guinea pigs for their new techniques.
Get humanity down to 500M?
Makes Thanos seem like a piker.
I highly doubt they are a de-population plan. Pfizer has a bazzilion people locked into shots every six months. That was the plan.
Six months? I thought the booster shot was down to every two months.

Fucking worthless City.
Andy signed some law preventing water shutoffs during the state of emergency (which has since expired). So rather than keep track of who doesn’t pay like they would otherwise and do something to clear out the fees they’d normally charge, the city simply didn’t send out a bill during that period, and is now billing the unbilled periods as ‘delinquent’ in one big lump sum.
I am mostly insulted at being called delinquent. Had I gotten a bill I’d have paid it.
Deadbeat.
Credit rating says “buh-bye”!
The city is so incompetent that they don’t appear to know how to report that.
I’m betting the software doesn’t know how to handle the fact the city wasn’t sending anybody a bill.
I would not be surprised.
I would also not be surprised if it could and had that as delivered functionality, but the people responsible didn’t know how to do it.
I bought a Fi brand GPS tracking dog collar, size small, to keep track of my indoor/outdoor cat.

Nice. Glad it’s well protected. I just rubbed down a tri tip in prep for an on oven roast. Tri tip is still, unbelievably, a bargain cut. This one got a coffee based rub; ground Colombian, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and regular paprika.
Tri-tip is still, unbelievably, a bargain cut.
People living in Alberta, Canada would like a word. ?
I can’t even find it on my shelves.
They must ship it all to KS.
About once in, oh, a single Galactic revolution (≈ 50 Megayears), you can find it in the local Safeways, but the rest of the time, you have to approach a bespoke butcher, cap in hand and with a suitably “Please sir, can I have some more?” attitude to even hope to acquire some of it.
I have no idea what actually gets done with it, though I suspect it’s all going into the commercial trade (read: “Julio’s Barrio” shitty pseudo-Mexican restaurant on Whyte Avenue, where it ends up in fajitas or somesuch). Or the heathens around here grind it up into undifferentiated “ground beef” in the local supermarkets.
I know it does go by other names, including triangle steak. It’s part of the bottom sirloin, but I think it may be more common West Coast. It was 5-6 bucks a lb up until Bidenflation, now more like 7-8, which is not a big a jump as other cuts. I absolutely love ribeye, but I refuse to pay $17-25 a lb for it unless it is prime and then it is a treat.
I haven’t had a ribeye steak for at least ten years. Who can afford that stuff?
It’s a fantastic cut. I always had a challenge finding it in MN, but everyone has it here. I really dig Santa Maria style.
Smoke it to 132, reverse sear.
I had an opportunity, years ago, to take a three-month butcher’s course at NAIT (the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, which, belying the name, actually has some very good culinary programs) to be able to cut my own stuff, but of course, it would’ve required that I was able to take delivery of a side of beef/whatever at my home address in order to make the magic happen, plus it was around four grand CDN. A tad rich for my blood.
Hmmmm. Mebbe I should just tell the Spousal Unit that we’re going to the butcher’s tomorrow and ordering a whole bunch of meat. Giggity.
The AHA, ADA, and .gov are evil. I watched this today.

I am pondering starting a keto support group kinda thing on the forum. Would you be interested in chiming in? Your long time experience as a #ketolifer might help some of us newbies. I know you are Zoom adverse so the forum may be the way to go.

I’m also baffled by it. Put that nonsense on Facebook if it’s important to you. LinkedIn is supposed to be about business and jobs.

I’d sooner return to Facebook than actively participate on LinkedIn
I just have to flip a switch and wait for the headhunters to come after me.
I hope to hell it doesn’t come down to that.
How does one enter this forum I’ve seen people mention? Is it the talk icon next to our name in the upper right? When I click that I just get a wheel that spins around for eternity.

I. suppose my macro professor ruined me. Let me say this one more time: *stomps feet, slams fist, screams loudly* INFLATION IS AN INCREASE IN THE MONEY SUPPLY, NOT A RISE IN PRICES OF GOODS. ONE INFLATES OR DEFLATES THE MONEY SUPPLY. RISING PRICES ARE ONLY ONE OF THE SYMPTOMS OF INFLATION GODDAMMIT!
*Smooths shirt, takes a deep breath* Now that we have that strait what is the motive for inflation? The motive is that the government borrows money promising to pay back that money plus some. Before it pays it off the govt inflates the money supply causing the value of the dollar to drop. Now they can pay back in numbers that are worth less than what they borrowed. It is a scam.
The solution? Fuck. you, cut spending and stop borrowing. Currently the left is not using inflation to evaporate debt but to destroy this economy and thus the country. These people are evil.
Oh good. Another remake movie. I can hardly contain myself.

Well it’s deeply Christian and so is Christmas.
It is? In what way?
Rhy, let’s be fair.
Die Hard is absolutely a Christmas movie. I get the festive tingles everytime I see Hans Gruber plunge to his death from the top of the Nakatomi Tower.
Me too and I’m not Christian.
TBH I don’t remember Die Hard. If it takes place during Christmas or something, sure.
To me an Xmas movie has to explicitly have Xmas in it somewhere.
Die Hard takes place *during a Christmas party* and explicitly includes Christmas themes as plot points and major dialogue. So, yeah. Christmas movie.
