Because I know that Andre Rush is a passionate chef. He's well-known. Look him up!

When 45 was in office, the WH kitchen staff complained that they were very under-utilized compared to other presidents.

Apathy is also my old guy super power. Not about everything, just all the shit that doesn't matter.

The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world, and this dumbass will be ordering McD's and KFC for 4 years.

A nicer way of framing it: Co-creation is the heart and soul of tabletop RPGs.

I used to be in a shitty local band (well a couple of them) and we would sometimes go to WH at 2 or 3 in the morning. I saw some interesting people for sure. And I have been there many times at all hours of the day. I've never seen anything remotely like the internet horror stories. Obviously there have been fights and shootings and what not at Waffle Houses, but those happen at plenty of other places, too. I think the "shit show rep" that it has just comes from bullshit artists on reddit trying to sound edgy or funny. I saw a lot more weirdness on the handful of times I've ridden a NY subway.

I think the taste and texture may have become noticeably worse after the ban on artificial trans fats. It definitely impacted some of the junk food I used to buy in the grocery store. (I'm not saying the ban was a bad thing, just that a lot of us noticed the change).

Whatever the cause, I have noticed it, too.

I like Bernie's idea of taxing every trade on the stock market.

They make use it at my job. I hate it.

Now I'm hoping my Nighthawk router lasts for several more years.

 

I feel like an idiot for not knowing about these.

Every 2-3 months I have to snake out our shower drain with a 25' snake. Giant PITA.

After some web searches, I stumbled across these hair trap devices. They come in both external and internal configurations. Many different types to choose from.

I purchased an internal one, installed it, and am going to give it a try. In theory I can just pop it out and clean it instead of snaking the pipes. Folks tell me they work well. If this one doesn't work I'll try another type. They are fairly inexpensive.

 

We mostly watch news and sports in my house. So unfortunately, live TV. Occasionally we watch other things. I mute the commercials and browse my phone when they're on.

But I would love a TV that is smart enough to auto hide & mute every kind of ad. Even little logos on the athletes' uniforms. Hide the ads on the pitcher's mound. Hide the billboards and signs in the stadium. Show some cool little generic animation, music video, or slide show during commercial breaks. Hide the damned popup window ads and scrolling ads that some channels do. Remove product placements from movies and shows. Basically make all ads completely vanish.

 

Not asking for tech support here, just wondering if in theory it would be possible to create a plug-in or even a complete browser that blocks ads in a way that's impossible to detect. One model that comes to mind is a quarantined / containerized non-blocking virtual browser which queries the web server directly, then the UX filters the content from that container and presents it to the user ad-free. As far as the web server can tell, the containerized browser is just vanilla Chromium.

 

Some of the satire on there was gold. Had a wonderful lampoon vibe.

What a pointless fluff piece. It's the Motley Fool, so no surprise there. And I love how Huffman sounds like a 5th grader giving a book report. "All good companies should go public when they can."

How can anyone take these clowns seriously. I look forward to watching their IPO fail spectacularly, if it ever even happens.
