so, Oregon had "the biggest increase in synthetic opioid deaths among states" 😱

"...that have reported their numbers."

I feel like that last phrase is doing a lot of work. I'm not going to put in the work to figure out the numbers, but it's a weird place to end the article.

Detroit is going to be so much fun this year to watch, wowza

Yes, please stop feeding the troll. He's clearly using the movie's success to leech off of. So many people I know that have never mentioned him have been bringing it up, and I'm just, like, this is exactly what he wants! Your attention is why he has a voice!

Okay, okay, I'm cool, I'm cool. Just tired of seeing this worthless shit nugget have an audience.

Store tomatoes are not tomatoes. Unless you're buying somewhere legit and expensive af, the tomatoes you see in stores are picked green and gassed to turn red. They are dog shit. Probably worse, actually. Seek out local farms near you and get the good shit (and often cheaper than places like whole foods).

Tomatoes are one thing I never buy in a store, except sauce/canned tomatoes, as those products are derived from ripe tomatoes.

that's their secret: it all sells. some better than others, but once sets start going on sale (moreso clearance), that shit disappears. beyond the standard 20% off, if the prices are 40-50% off in stores, it's all sold pretty damn quickly, ime.

there aren't a lot of flops, afaik. the recent Black Panther bust was a bust, and the foosball set was more of a boosball. I really liked the Queer Eye set, but I think Lego misjudged the level of interest it would have. I'm happy I picked up a few of those, though; great set for parts!

I've also heard that Walmarts will sell off palettes of sets to employees for really cheap. either way, it all sells, and often eventually find its way back into the Lego ecosystem, ie bricklink.

Don't put tomatoes in the fridge, if possible. Put them in the sun, if they need to ripen more, otherwise put them somewhere dark and cool, but not cold.

Basically, store them like potatoes. 50-55F is ideal. They can stay for weeks like that.

(This is all said with the understanding that the tomatoes are whole/uncut. Once they're chopped up, the fridge is the best option, but they're only good for a few days)

sauce: me, veg farmer

Tbh, I'd fuck someone for going on ONE quest for me. Doesn't even have to be dangerous, could just be something like, Can you swing by the shop on the way over? Thank you 🥵

74 RT jumps almost every single snap, they're even calling it on the broadcast before it happens. Let's go, consistency 👏👏 👏👏👏

after all the badwill they sowed the last couple years, the Browns only just started with the reaping. as an Ohio fuck who was raised to be a fan of Cleveland, I say bring it on, they asked for it. back to the basement for you!

What a banger all the way through. Great (and sometimes sloppy) game to start the season!

Hell yeah, brother!

THE FUCKIN BALLS ON THIS MAN

it's literally always projection. every time. every fucking time.

I'm so fuckin hyped and excited for this season! I hope this instance takes off and these game threads get rolling.

Be the change you want to see, right?

Sea HAWKS! 17-0, MAYBE, BABY!

What a well-placed, cathartic, finally-called false start

that's not true!

he cannot possibly look more foolish, at this point.

go, any team that isn't sf!

despite their poor start this year, I thought Kirk had taken that step, turned the corner, etc, and was showing up when it really counted. I was thinking how good they're looking now, and that Detroit better be careful with that division lead. Maybe Minnesota could make the playoffs and make some noise.

but now... damn, sorry, bud

close. "Cab" is derived from extracting the first syllable from Steve Caballeros' last name. not just one of the great skaters, his family also invented the modern car and public transportation. so, as you can see, that is why when you rent out half of a taxi, you say, "I'm doin' a 'half cab!'" rather than a ca or an ab, as those are each ⅔ of a cab.

the math starts getting pretty wonky, when you get into renting tiny fractions of caballeros, which is why the Cabernet was invented - to make the entire process more straight forward.

hope that clears up everything!

fuck. don't know how to feel, as I love what he's done for the team, but also feel like the team has become somewhat limited and stagnated the last few years. I love that man, but I'm also excited for the future.
