Shatner was also a colossal rear end in a top hat under all that charm, like his entire life. I'm shocked most of his ex-cast members ever stayed friendly with him. Probably the only reason was for the convention cash (and that wasn't enough for James Doohan, who loving hated him).

Jealous. Alabama is dragging its feet on implementing its very restricted medical pot law. I'd put money that the legislature really just wants Biden to legalize it and take all the heat off them. Hell, they're straight up stealing kids from out of staters with valid medical marijuana. https://www.al.com/crime/2021/06/alabama-removes-toddler-from-michigan-family-found-with-marijuana.html

Upon reading the details, I don't really have a problem with this. Served 3.5 years of a 25 year sentence in a mental health facility, will be monitored until she's 37 and the sentence runs out. I'm sure if the victim was in my family I'd be mad, but this makes sense. https://www.npr.org/2021/07/01/1012330011/judge-orders-release-of-wisconsin-woman-in-slender-man-case

maffew buildings posted:what the gently caress is white sauce for bbq Mayonnaise-based. Sounds disgusting. However, a good one is fantastic on smoked chicken or turkey. They're horrible on anything darker. And before you blech, remember that most other bbq sauces either start with tomato sugar or concentrated douche. I spent 20 years here in the state that invented it making GBS threads on the idea before I tried it.

In current events, the military continues to be lovely to victims. The big independent commission report (no, not that one. No, not that other one either) just dropped on SECDEF's desk. Here's a link to the whole report if you'd like to seriously bum the gently caress out of your holiday weekend: https://media.defense.gov/2021/Jul/02/2002755437/-1/-1/0/IRC-FULL-REPORT-FINAL-1923-7-1-21.PDF/IRC-FULL-REPORT-FINAL-1923-7-1-21.PDF Here's one big takeaway: https://twitter.com/Meghann_MT/status/1411051411022905344 Every. single. one. Thwomp posted:I hadn’t heard of white BBQ sauce until this Babish episode dropped last week. I’ve had BBQ from drat near everywhere but I guess keeping out of the Deep South kept me in the dark on white sauce. Just looking at the preview, no thanks. I can't stress it enough, white sauce is heinous on any kind of pork or beef. It's magical on birds and birds only. Sarern posted:Is that a cooking term I'm not familiar with? Douche is vinegar diluted with water. Vinegar is the basic ingredient that is (heavily over-)used as the basis of the BBQ sauce in a certain Southern state that is pretty decent in everything other than their ability to cook meat.

Wonder Free posted:Thats’s me. We’ve got one P-3 flying it from Aruba and then my crew is going to pick it up early Sunday morning when they come back. G-IV has longer legs so they will keep flying from Florida until it gets too close. We probably won’t evacuate planes for this but probably will have to reposition somewhere out of the path so we can fly it until landfall. How bad does it get where you guys fly? I'm assuming this isn't the full Hurricane Hunter experience like the P-3s

Big legged women in short shorts are a very nice bonus, but honestly it's just a fun sport to watch that most people know the rules to.

US Berder Patrol posted:Are personal loans a popular product? I can't think of anyone I knew who ever just got a straight up loan, not home equity or auto or whatever from a bank. Signature loans are a thing, although usually only for higher earners or strapped middle incomes. Low earners don't have the credit to sign unsecured loans, and credit cards are more convenient for everyone else to use. That leaves major single purchases or projects as the big reason for those loans, and that's usually either a home remodel or debt restructuring. The APR they offered was from 9.5 to up into the low 20s, so they're essentially a credit card. pantslesswithwolves posted:Apparently they’ve advised customers that this could adversely affect their credit score. This part of it is being greatly oversold- it doesn't hit as a delinquency or anything, it just affects the part of scoring concerning average age of open accounts.

A cop in Huntsville, AL was convicted of murder. He's still on the payroll because the police chief is a giant infant, and the mayor is a white supremacist shithead. I already knew this, but it gets worse- the police chief sent an email around the department soliciting cops to donate their leave to an anonymous police officer with an unnamed issue. The same day that the cop was convicted and sent on leave. https://www.al.com/news/2021/07/huntsville-still-paying-police-officer-convicted-of-murder-two-months-ago.html

Kesper North posted:She was the first writer I ever wrote fanmail to (via CompuServe, aged twelve). I asked her how she created such consistent Rihannsu-language dialogue. She responded back very enthusiastically - within about twelve hours! - and sent me the source code of the program she'd written in C to generate words based on phonemes with the right sounds. Unfortunately I lacked the means to download said code from a Compuserve account at the time, or to compile it - but it was a darn cool thing to do for a kid fan, and absolutely typical of her from what I can tell. I always liked that she tried to make the Romulans a 3-dimensional culture long (long) before writers started re-evaluating how they wrote antagonists. Gene Roddenberry was a piece of poo poo to her.

boop the snoot posted:I may be an rear end in a top hat for this, but I’d love for a mil base to be named after Obama just because of how chuds would react. I've said for years that my first big Powerball purchase would be to fund a new football stadium for the local college. (They finally did end up building one). But only under the condition that it literally be named Barack Hussein Obama Celebration Field. Everybody usually chuckled. We joked about how quickly it'd end up with a racist nickname, or how the admin would try to weasel out of it by giving it some semi-official nickname like the BHO. I ended up going to that college (Univ of South Alabama) in my mid-30s as a business major. I got pretty friendly with a lot of the professors (they liked having a former wrench-turner in their classes for a bit of diversity), including the chairs of several of the departments. After graduation, I'd go to some of the business college alumni mixers, because I liked talking with the profs again. At one of those mixers, it was around the time Powerball was up at one of those ridiculous jackpots like 600 mil or so. So in a circle of business PhDs, some of them retired CEOs or high level executives, everyone was dropping their Powerball wishlists when I dropped mine. I could not have killed that conversation deader with the smelliest fart in human history.

Wasabi the J posted:Good. Rich white people need to remember their place. It was a definite "oh yeah that's right, these are definitely not my people" moment. When I told my dad about it, he talked about when he just made warrant officer, and got friendly with a few of the officers in the wardroom, until a CW04 pulled him aside and told him quite plainly "they only let you eat there". Pours some cold water on you to be reminded of the difference between who you are friendly with, and who you are friends with.

Am I a bad person for wanting to see CPAC live and in-person?US Berder Patrol posted:The individual services have different cultures regarding Warrants. They're generally very highly regarded in the Navy, and the USMC warrants are basically never going to be disrespected. Army has lots of warrant officers in comparison to the maritime services tho, I wouldn't be surprised to learn they're treated as an officer* rather than an officer. He was a Navy warrant from 1964 to 1992; warrants were in a weird spot of being professionally respected but socially frozen out, as they weren't one of the actual nobility. More of a valuable commoner. Mustangs actually faced a tremendous amount of disrespect and bullshit back then. I'd imagine the culture changed across all services as they got more common (it was rare back then); I know when I was in my last year in doing TRADOC cadre for the Signal Officers' Basic Course, I was shocked at how high the percentage of 2LTs were prior enlisted.

I know the pivot will take several years bit I would to love to see how biz school curriculums evolve from this. Journals like HBR were jizzing over things like open offices and servant leadership when I was in undergrad, then 5 years later in postgrad they hated them. JIT will probably go down in history with Lamarckian evolution and phrenology as dead end ideas. We’ll have a period where robustness and redundancy become fetishes in corporate strategy.
