BlindSite posted:Anyone have any opinions on robot vacuum? Black Friday sales got me looking at an ecovac that's like 600bux off rrp. They're good, not as good as a real vac but for just maintaining rather than a deep clean they work really well. Just don't leave anything on the floor to get chewed up. Also they get stuck under chairs and start sending alerts to your phone crying for help.

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with 20 people and my only responsibility was to help pick up wine. Food was wonderful and everyone is happy and successful AND we completely managed to avoid bringing up politics

 Clockwise from upper right: -air fried vegetable lumpia -spatchcocked smoked Turkey with melted compound butter poured over at the last minute -mac & cheese -vegetarian gravy (one guest was a vegetarian so they ate all the non-meat sides) -roasted brussel sprouts with honey & balsamic vinegar -green bean casserole that substituted the cream of mushroom with cheese -dip of unknown origin -cheese & crackers -Hawaiian rolls -regular rolls -stuffing Not pictured: the pumpkin pie & banana bread for dessert.

Soccer is actually an English term, created at Oxford in the 1880's to differentiate "Association Football" (Assoc'r) from Rugby Football (Rugger). That being said England is going to clean house on the USA tomorrow.

Made an apple pie for dessert, took half of it home for breakfast (there were four of us): Also did peameal bacon, a Canadian tradition, as an entree. Couldn't get the crust to stick to it, but it was still lovely:

 Posted these in the game day thread but they turned out to be a hit at the dinner. I took home the leftover blueberry pie but the apple and pumpkin got finished off. I also had a ton of lamb since my friend's husband roasted a leg of lamb plus their turkey. He ended up passed out after doing a bunch of tequila shots.

Artichokes are A-tier. Possibly even s-tier. Yet they are underrepresented in the vegetables eaten by the masses. Thank you for the public service announcement, SA2K. I really like artichokes

we grow em in the back yard, get about a dozen a year and that's just about the right amount of fresh whole 'chokes for me; but we also buy marinated hearts and those are great in salads and sometimes on a pizza

Up too early and back on my bullshit of looking up dark age saints on wiki. This dude fathered not one, or two, or three, or four or....but well nine saints. They all have feast days and everything. Some of them still have parishes named after them apparently. 'Ithel Hael or Ithel Hael o Lydaw was a prince of Armorica who lived in the early part of the sixth century. He was the father of Baglan, Flewyn, Gredifael, Tanwg, Twrog, Tegai, Trillo, Tecwyn and Llechid, saints who accompanied Cadfan to Britain.' My man Twrog is interesting, he was blessed with superhuman strength and threw a stone no one could ever throw at either a she-devil (whatever that means) or at the actual devil depending on who you ask that he was beefing with--or maybe they're the same. Well he missed but pissed her off enough that she took her natural form as a horned winged beast and flew off never to come back again. Then Twrog built a church there. Realistically around a landmark stone that had always been in the ground, but we all must appreciate imagining these things. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 13:32 on Nov 25, 2022 |

I totally agree that I need to chill, but I’m also tired of the disingenuous argument that “Registered Voter did a hate crime” is compelling to say that targeting violence is a problem on both sides. It’s baked into one party platform and not the other, yet I hear this nonsense all day long in the south. Anyway my exasperation is not good for me or this chat thread, so I’ll do better to keep it out.

Bird in a Blender posted:They just gave out sainthood like candy back then huh? As I understand it (don't trust me I'm not a real historian) I honestly do think there was a real thought in the Church at the time that 'well we really need some Saints in this area to get things going, if you're on board and you've got a little cash or something to give us you're in.' There are soooo many princesses sainted simply for being virgins. Like a lot of them didn't even need to found a church or join a nunnery. It's a very fun small corner of history for me to look up.

This usually ends up with people claiming James von Brunn wasn't on their side because white supremacist violence isn't automatically right wing, or the guy that hammered Mr. Nancy Pelosi was actually left-wing because he was a nudist, and other similar gaming of the stats 78%, 2%. We can say violence by both sides is bad, but people claiming it's done equally by both sides are being dishonest

Willow came out when I was in sixth grade and one thing I will always remember about it- we watched it in class one day, which...fine. We all joke about the hungover teacher just giving up and putting on a movie. Except in this case it came with homework. He handed out sheets to fill out that asked specific questions about the movie, and leading questions like "how did you feel when you saw ____" or "what other characters does ____ remind you of". And these weren't just some poo poo a weirdo social studies teacher cooked up; it was literally promotional material from MGM meant to go along with the movie. They obviously meant for teachers to show this drat movie. Nobody I ever talked to around my age had this experience, and I've never seen anything about it online. It was like some weird proto-product placement-slash-focus testing experiment that only I remember.

Ehud posted:Yeah… They’ve got a decent slate of kids movies like Sandlot and Mighty Ducks as well as some decent Christmas IP. We have it but hardly watch it. I’ve got a few physical copies of classics I need to pick up and we can prob cancel it. Luckily our kiddo hasn’t fully latched into 1 IP like a lot of kids and she’s currently all-in on Archibald on Netflix. Big City Greens will be missed though. And Bluey (although she is currently off it).

Had to go to Target today to get a couple of essentials. Luckily there’s a half-sized target by me and it was dead at 8 AM. I had severe Black Friday nightmares before I left. I normally avoid stores like the plague today.

Qwijib0 posted:Yeah, if you and the kid haven't seen Bluey that's worth a watch. It’s extremely good OP. When we first discovered it, I’d never heard her laugh that hard. Kiddo loves Vampirina too but she switches between shows so often I can hardly keep up. She cycled onto Dawn of the Croods on Netflix (which is also really good) for a few weeks and is latched onto Archibald right now which is excellent but prob for slightly older kids.

If you have D+ and have small kids, you’re never getting rid of it. Your kid will become obsessed with some movie and then you’ll become dependent on it. Having all the Pixar movies is kind of nice though.
