Expected, but still.
Also, they are totally related. Most of the price of food is diesel.
Is that why some things make me…..[removes sunglasses]….gassy ?
YEEEEAAAAHHH-
* Takes a whiff*
NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo….
Don’t forget the skilled labor you need to operate diesel equipment:
Um, since mine have been over $4 since Brandon took office, I’d say that’s a lock.

I was thinking of making fried chicken, so I was wondering what people around here preferred as seasoning for the flour.
Mama Tres, that made some of the best fried chicken, used just flour, salt, and pepper. Grandma Tres let the pieces soak in buttermilk. And there’s always the skin-on/skin-off argument.
For the hundreds of times Ive tried, I cant re-create the experience. But I can make some damn tasty yard bird.
FYI: My Hannaford has that dried beef on the endcaps in the produce section. I guess it must be a decently widespread tradition here.
I might have to wander that way.
I use half corn meal, half AP flour, salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Sometimes, I add chili powder or a dash of cayenne.
Soak in buttermilk and hot sauce. Use salt, pepper and cayenne in the flour.
What Tulip said.
I go Cuban style, soaking the chicken overnight in buttermilk, lime juice, and a whole bunch of cumin. Then just salt, pepper, and a little paprika in the flour.
Ooh, look at Mr. I’m Made of Buttermilk
Add some baking powder to the flour too for a better crispy breading.
I soak my chicken in buttermilk, white wine, and honey.
Chick-fil-A adds powdered sugar to their flour for extra addictiveness.
What kind of ratio for the baking powder/flour mix?
Just a teaspoon for about 2 cups of flour.
Dammit, now I’m all hungry.
“FEMA is deploying hundreds of ambulances and EMS crews to transport patients. We’ve already deployed emergency response teams in Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, Vermont, New Hampshire, and New Mexico. We’re ready to provide more hospital beds as well.”
Better get those hospital ships out there, Joe. They really came in handy last time.
“We’re sending the… uh… the thing to Colorado. It’ll dock in the port of Fargo.”

You see the guy whose heart stops beating, that guy, he’s going to be the one that dies.
*Circles casket on video screen*
Then BOOM!
Obligatory
Haha!
Whatever you say about him, he made football fun, something that is desperately missing now.
I enjoy the fuck out of Romo, even though he gets a little motor-mouthy…
Buck and Aikman make me want to throw shit.
Romo is great, his analysis is spot on, but I don’t think he’s as FUN an announcer.
“Prosecutors, meanwhile, insist the suggestion that the FBI was responsible for the Whitmer kidnapping plot is a factless fantasy peddled by the same people who claim January 6 was an inside job. “The conspiracy theory that the FBI instigated the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol to entrap otherwise law-abiding citizens has been actively promoted by certain media outlets,” the government sneered in a recent motion, referring to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.”
The 9/11 truthers seem less crazy now.
How do you manage to “sneer” in a legal motion ?
Is there a cured lip emoji?
I like to remind people that J Edgar hoover ran the FBI as his own personal blackmailing operation.
Wouldn’t it be “her” now?
That’s the rub.
The things that seemed so outlandish, so impossible…..
seem likely.
All of this has been so corrosive on “the American experience”, You end up questiotioning everything.
It also doesn’t help when they keep arresting kiddy diddlers left and right.
I laughed and snorted at the idea of child molestation rings everywhere in our ruling class. Now I wonder if I have a moral obligation to stop eating pizza.

Not sure where you are going with this one.
“Pizzagate”
Sorry.
Yeah, I was trying to be snide about Pizzagate. Has to be one of the stupidest Qanon conspiracies out there.
But then all these Important People keep getting busted for molesting kids and all combined with all the other crazy shit coming true, you start to wonder.
I should have been clearer in my joke. I was lazy. I thought I just had to mention kid fucking and the laughs would automatically happen.
STOP STEALING OMWC’s SHTICK!
If he promises to stop stealing my bikes, I’ll stop stealing his shtick.
No deals, Mr. Bond!
It was the moral obligation on pizza that confused me.
As far as pedophiles, i have heard a story or two myself. Hard to know what to believe.
Did your questiotioning get answeswered?
Not really.
The past year really broke me.
Were we ever “the good guys”, when did it change?
I have seen some incredibly brave, generous, kind individuals. Organizations? Not so much.
Conspiracy theories are now just spoilers.
insist the suggestion that the FBI was responsible for the Whitmer kidnapping plot is a factless fantasy
FBI informants literally hatched it.
by the same people who claim January 6 was an inside job
Then explain Ray Epps, among other things.
‘And therein lies the government’s biggest headache of all. If a trial showcases all the ways in which the FBI orchestrated the Whitmer kidnapping plan from start to finish—and the defense features the lowlife agents and informants who made it possible—the public will demand a similar reckoning about the FBI’s role in January 6.’
Narrator: There will be no public outrage nor a reckoning.
Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid dies at 82
Meh.
for giving Trump three Supreme Court Justices.
Karma is a bitch.
At this point, perhaps the Justice Department should pray that the judge rules in favor of the defense and dismisses the case before the FBI is further embarrassed—and exposed.
I won’t hold my breath or the FBI cuntes involved to be prosecuted for their crimes.
Qualified Immunity beyotches!
+1 Kevin Clinesmith
LOL
and exposed
Wrong agency, that’s the CIA that exposes themselves.
You’re thinking CNN.

He couldn’t find a Citroen, so he had to substitute a Citron.
I’m a sucker for the classics.
In New York state, Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency over the omicron variant and called in the National Guard to assist with nursing homes. She added that hospitals in the state at over 90% capacity could be ordered to stop elective procedures to focus on the surge. Biden said testing facilities will also be opened in the state.
So she wants to make a run at Cuntemo’s corona death record.
Maybe I just didn’t appreciate how utilitarian it is over at TOS until now, but observations like these just make me angry.
https://reason.com/2021/12/28/fauci-wants-to-kick-the-unvaxxed-off-of-airplanes/
Precieved pragmatism over principles.
That is the first time I’ve visited TOS in probably 6 months. Didn’t Matt used to concern himself with liberty, rights, and freedoms?
Give him a break. He’s spending all his time trying to drum up support for letting Ukraine and the Baltic states join NATO.
That is what I always remember him getting riled up about on the Fifth Column podcast.
He was also the one who said “How can we know if it is a fishing expedition unless we have an investigation?” about one of the Trump scandals. Can’t remember if it was the Russia Collusion or the Ukraine Quid Pro Quo kerfuffle.
The Baltic States are already in. The Ukraine never will be – if they had gotten their shit together before the post-Soviet Russians, they could have been. Now it’s way too late.
Same problem with Somin. ‘Vax mandates are totes cool cause they’re less of a restriction on you and save more lives than police and the military.’
Huh?
Not sure how blanket restrictions on my freedom aren’t worse than roadz.
The Americanized version of plata o plomo.
At least five Republican-led states including Iowa have extended unemployment benefits to people who’ve lost jobs over vaccine mandates, and a smattering of others may soon follow.
Just more slow motion GOP insurrection.
Did Harry Reid have a black eye when he died from “falling on a treadmill”?
President of what once was the most powerful nation…
Biden is our Gorbachev.
Gorbachov!
Soviet Truth Bomb
More like our Konstantin Chernenko.
Biden is our Gorbachev.
On a tangent, I’ve been watching a few Youtube videos of people walking through their grocery stores in other countries. Svetlana from Russia gave a good walkthrough of one in St Petersburg. I was blown away. The quality of the produce and meat looked much better. There was an absurd number of options in a huge Walmart sized store, and the shelves were fully stocked. Russian brands were about 20% of what we pay, and even American brands like Lays were still at least 50% cheaper.
I sent my wife pictures of our local regional grocery store with the shelves half wiped out last week. I also went to Kroger and found regular 80/20 ground beef was $7/lb and their butcher/seafood case was completely emptied out and shutdown. It’s been a bit thought provoking watching that Russian walkthrough compared with my experiences here.
Gorbachev in his prime had more vitality in his left thumb than Joe Biden still has in his entire body. There’s no way Biden will still be alive 30 years after his presidency like Gorby.
Vodka is a preservative.
This is pretty fucked up: Retired FBI agent convinces woman she’s on “secret probation” and milks her for $700k.
Feds Claim Former FBI Agent, Accomplice Defrauded Woman Out of More Than $700,000
That sounds rather stupid
You don’t generally fleece the wise.
BTW – I have to give you props, on Lonzo Ball. I thought he was an overrated and overhyped creation of the media….now, having him where I can see him consistently….he is a very solid NBA point guard. MUST CREDIT PIE for being on him early.
flashy scoring PG are fashionable this days
His defense and rebounding are surprisingly good, and he is fairly selfless in distributing the ball.
Wasn’t it a former FBI guy and a former FedGov Prosecutor trying to shake down Rep. Matt Gaetz?
And some of you are opposed to the death penalty.
I’m of a mind that some people need killing.
I’m open to debate on who gets to kill them and what the standard of proof needs to be.
“Jessie Diggins gets first win of cross-country skiing season, essentially books Olympic spot”
I thought you americans wern’t any good at cross country
We used to be bad, then we changed the name to “trans country” and every kid signed up.
Now we dominate women’s cross country races. Still suck at men’s cross country.
Thanks, but I have to admit that this is just a pimple on the ass of the thrill i get from the opprobrium of a narrowed gaze.

Where muh Squint Eastwood pic?
While gas prices have declined in recent weeks, GasBuddy is forecasting that prices at the pump nationally could increase in 2022 and possibly top $4 a gallon.
Since I have to buy 93 and am already paying $4+ I guess that means I get to jump to $5+. Thanks, Joe Biden! ///Let’sGoBrandon
Uffda. I want more details on this NBA stupidity.
Do does KAT actually have the Rona? Or did he get put on the fucking Do Not Play list because he was in close contact with someone who popped positive?
If he has it, I would believe it would be super newsworthy that someone who had the Rona, was vaxxed and boosted got another case of the Rona.
If this was just because he was in close contact with someone who had the Rona, then it is triple stupid to hold him out of games. The dude has almost no chance of getting the Rona again.
Or he popped a false positive. I hear that happens from time to time.
First of all, not guilty. Not just because of how she looks but because she was 22 and he was 17.
But we know she’s being prosecuted because the prosecutor is jelly af.
Misread that at first. Thought SHE was 17. I was still gonna post a “solid would.” Humans are humans and teenagers gonna teenage.
I now feel less dirty about saying that she’s giving further solid wood to that ‘solid would.’ Everyone had a damn good time. Fuck that being illegal, as long as it was consensual. And I guarantee that it was HIGHLY consensual.
Sorry bro, those eyes are too crazy.
Good! I’ll take your scraps. More for me.
Don’t yuck my yum! And yeah, 22-year-old athlete? I’d like to see more of her figure, but I sense a need for her to have an over-the-top craziness in her frame to place her outside of my Palace of Yes and More Please.
Haha! Just shows I’m getting old (I think we’re around the same age?). While you’re still young at heart.
I may be more deprived and desperate…
I’m 34.5 at the momo. I would agree that I’m still young at heart. Not always for the best, but I don’t look a gift horse in the mouth…I have no reason NOT to want to take that to the hoop.
When you say ‘how she looks’, you mean how she brainwashed him with that eldritch gaze, right?
22 year old athlete. Probably waxed.
The food-at-home index, which includes purchase from grocery stores, rose 6.4% over the past 12 months, with meats, poultry, fish and eggs increasing 12.8%.”
Fake news. Bidenomics has given us the best economy evar.
Finally someone is willing to do something about the obesity epidemic!
John Madden dead at 85
He was the best at what he did in the NFL.
Making the long stretches between plays bearable?
He was a great announcer, but think about his Raider’s teams. I can’t see any current coach (who are all control freaks) being able to deal with so many misfits.
Just Win Baby.
So, I found the bakery that made that delicious stollen/cheese danish hybrid. Unfortunately, their online ordering system is incompatible with my work computer.

Bakeries are dangerous to my health.
Speaking of gas i noticed my car actually works better in winter with the 100 premium stuff rather the 95 regular stuff
6.1 usd per gallon right now but then i drive like 4000 kilometers per year
Isn’t it illegal to mix American and metric units in the EU?
I am trying to occasionally convert things for you math challenged Americans
Math challenged? Americans can multiply and divide by numbers other than 10.
100 octane?
Yes
Metric octane. Not the same as the us.
U.S. uses (R+M)/2 method but Europe uses only R number, which is always higher than M.
Do they make the gas companies add corn alcohol to your fuel in Romania? That kills gas mileage and eventually engines over here.
the premium stuff has 5% the regular 10%
There you go – probably makes as much difference as the octane.
Plus colder, denser air.
Good thread on Leana Wen mask flip-floppery:

She was NPR yesterday saying that NuVid was no longer an “existential threat.”
That’s because flu A and B are going to make a resurgence with a vengeance as we pivot to the next thing we are supposed to be afraid of.
Forcing unvaccinated students to stay home and study online is certainly separate. But it’s equal! So it’s ok!
Can you not combine keg stands with vaccination and get them all somehow?
I thought keg stands were a vulgar American college student thing. Don’t Eurostudents engage mensur between singing bouts at the taverns?
I was speaking of murican students we do not have those things
Yeah, I was thinking that the gown would drop down and interfere with the drinking, not to mention exposing your unterpantzen.
I haven’t found one yet, but yesterday there were some stories about the CDC’s “revised” estimates of omnicronk’s prevalence. It appears their initial “estimates” were faulty.
Instead of somewhere between (I’m making this up) 85 and 50 per cent of new cases, it’s only somewhere between 60 and 20. That’s some real good specificity. And the steno pool just scribbles it down.
My guess- they decided the Deadly Delta is a better stick to beat the peasants with.
So suddenly the delta variant decided to spread like wild fire? CDC needs to go away.
Final VA redistricting maps
Less gerrymandered than current districts, but where it remains favors Democrats. I get redistricted back into a shifted 7th.
Doesn’t look like it will impact me at all.

Never forget that the voting machines are so prevalent because the GOP got cucked on Bush’s “tainted” win in Florida in 2000.
Every major piece of legislation is written by the GOP (even the ACA, which passed with 0 GOP votes, traces back to Romney and Heritage Foundation) and yet is administered by and for the benefit of Democrats.
I always liked Madden’s commercials.
Filed under: mysteriously shifting news coverage.
Another thing I have noticed in the last couple of days in that “Airplane Karen” story. The news reports seem to have all simultaneously swerved to saying the guy called her a “slur” and that’s what set her off. In other words, he totally asked for it, and merely got what he deserved.
Case dismissed.
All I get is pics from her Baywatch days. But that’s the NY Post for you.
So if someone calls me a name I don’t like I have free reign to assault them? Good to know.
*cracks knuckles*
He totally asked for it when he decided to be a cis-hetero white male.
Truly the Rosa Parks of our time.
Just ask her, she’ll agree.
I just tried this from a local brewer
Hophead South Monarch – Imperial Stout with Rum barrel fermented Columbia Coffee and Ceylon cinnamon 9.2% ABV
and it strengthened my view that imperial stouts are just not worth drinking
I have to figure out to send you some proper Imperial Stouts.
Just saw a NBC news analysis found that children with covid are 2 times more likely to be hospitalized when compared to adults. Wonder how they came to that conclusion.
They caught the vid in the hospital?
They found it in their ass. It was just sitting there, waiting to be pulled out.
