I like the pre-made patties; they visually resemble meat ! They're really sensitive to cook times, but if you're not digging them to this degree, I admit cook times may not be the issue..
But if this is the, like, roll stuff, I can't attest to that..

This makes me want to scream. I've used useful prediction markets before. They worked because they were manned by insiders. If you don't have people with inside information, it's just a guessing/betting game!

It's all Hegseth trying to save Hegseth. There was a second strike for a reason; we didn't do it for fun, or because we just wanted to be sure. We did it *someone* survivors, and he's trying to tell us "well, that part wasn't me". He's using macho talk to throw Admiral War Crimes under a bus.

Happy Gilmore 3: The Khitomer Massacre is about a mysterious 19th hole that's actually a tear in the space-time continuum; McGavin realizes the error of his ways, adopts a new persona, and ultimately finds redemption as LJG Richard Castillo. The Boothby subplot is the emotional heart of the film.

It looks like I got 90% of them from YouTube; I can't seem to DM more details, but my email is my @ + gmail if that helps. It took a bit to curate/fix, but these are/were the YouTube IDs of the first few, I believe:

I did a short thread on my love for it in August (and MTV's Amp!). I was able to source much of the run (~66 eps), but not all. It was so fun, and I had no idea how many now-famous people are in it (Pedro Pascal! Christina Hendricks! Katee Sackhoff! Lauren German, Anna Silk, etc.)

I did think it very obvious that he doesn’t care that virtually no one else is around to do these things with him. “We” is around, but he’s content to be alone, so long as he gets to have sex 🤢Like, he’s talking about falling for “Zosia”, but they’re all the same!

I'd read that! Maybe it's b/c I'm a man, but I (also) viewed it as a warning about materialism (and therefore capitalism?). Either he knows he's trading his eventual autonomy for materialist baubles (AF1! Trips to Bilbao!); or he doesn't care to know/ask; or he's decided it's inevitable. None great!

.. as built. Not the way it was *intended*. The code did exactly what it was supposed to. But there was an unexpected behavior we didn't predict.
So the real fun after that was: when we fixed it, did the fix introduce new failure modes?

I mean, I do think there's some element of losing credentials or getting doxxed by RW'ers, but still, dignity is more important, especially when the alternative is sending the message that you're powerless against authoritarians. OK, you get booted from the plane. You'll live. He'll do it anyway!

I'm concerned that MPD would "take orders" from someone who isn't... MPD. Like, even if my house were broken into and taken over, I still don't get to boss MPD around to get it back. The federal government is no different, and the USIP HQ isn't a government facility.
