I love cooking chicken this way. Olive oil and a bit of salt, pepper and oregano make the skin taste super good

It's actually one of the worse ways to cook a chicken, the beer doesn't add any flavor and it makes it harder to get to the right internal temperature before the outside is overdone.

Spatchcock your chickens, always.

People who don't take their college education seriously baffle me. You're paying for this and chose the classes you're taking. Why would you gently caress yourself over like that?

e: The craziest thing is that so many problems can be solved by just going to class every drat time.

I used to have dreams toward the tail end of semesters that I had a class that I had just forgotten to go to for months. Fortunately that was never real.

I've had that dream too. Even after I was done with college.

I wrestled an EJ25 for several hours yesterday and won. Felt fine.

Today I threw out my lower back sitting in a chair at work. Not sitting down or standing up or anything, just sitting there, now my lower left back feels like I threw it out. Hopefully just a cramp/minor pulled muscle.

Also we should have a cage match to the death for all politicians and then shoot the winner.

You threw it out yesterday, didn't find out till today

Condolences SSS

Management is offering voluntary layoffs for those who have been here long enough and the seventy loving three year old useless guy in my group is "holding out for a better deal" :downs:

Of course the guy should have retired long ago but instead he's got a E65 to keep on the road. Good job rear end in a top hat I'm sure it will be totally worth it to lay off two people at the bottom of the totem pole while he keeps his job.

It is literally not his problem.

If they wanted to keep those people, they'd lay him off specifically.

I know it's not his problem, of course. I understand the gently caress you got mine mentality. There won't be a 'better offer'.

When you're not good at what you do any more and still working at 73, you hosed up somewhere along the line.

And no, we're in an engineer/tech union so he will not be laid off. They lay off bottom to top when it comes to it.

This guy wasn't even as legit as that . No company clothes, just grey-ish business casual clothes and his jacket had some stoner/rasta looking patch on the lapel.

In the past month we've had two kids going door to door selling offbrand candy for their "charities." I wonder how they get roped into this poo poo or if their parents are just doing it for easy cash. hosed up either way.

That's nearly the dumbest thing I've read all day.

Rice is junk food after you add cheese and sauce and whatever else.

Ice is junk food after you add cheese and sauce and whatever else.

An empty plate is junk food after you know what forget it.

iceberg lettuce is cheap garbage, it's low in calories and nutrient-deficient and almost every way it's served is with a fuckload of bad calories from dressing and bacon and other bad decisions.

Yay, my most useless co-worker is quitting. Although that brings us down to just me and the morning guy. As expected this week has sucked. I'm so busy delivering I don't have time to do the dozen other things I have to do so I end up stuck at work an extra couple of hours. And then they want me to close Friday (meaning I get home at about 2 am) then come in for a mandatory meeting (which I've been told is largely for morale boosting purposes) on Saturday at 9 a.m.

Oh and the only guy who showed up to his interview was confused as to why he needed a drivers license.

You are legally required to have 8 hours between end of shift and start of another. Tell them to pound sand or let you out at 1am.

This isn't a federal regulation and as far as I can tell with a cursory Google search there aren't any states that implement it either. Unless you work in a heavily regulated industry (truck drivers, pilots, etc.) your employer can tell you to work 24 hours a day in perpetuity and not run afoul of labor laws.

poo poo, you're right. Another labor law myth

I'm gonna see what they want to do but she seems pretty keen to burn the car to the ground. But if it's a difference between $150 in scrap and selling it as a $500 runner she may change her mind.

They owe 1600 on a 20+ year old car? Sounds like they don't have a choice to not fix it

I got a VAG I can stuff things in. I'm pretty stoked. Turns out the whole emissions scandal means TDI prices are in the toilet. Considering this purchase is meant for the wife to drive into the ground like she did with her VW Rabbit I'd say we did pretty good.

Also the Sportwagen is pretty sexy-like.

Manual or DSG? I can't wait to sell mine back to vw
