Does the entire house vote, or just the majority party? Like, I know it would never happen, but if the Democrats unified and then pulled 5 Republicans could they make their own guy speaker?

Entire house votes and it has to be a majority of total votes, not just a plurality. Theoertically, they could all vote to change the rules to allow a plurality, but that only has happened once in the aftermath of the Whig collapse


While something like that is theoretically possible, I think we're weeks away from that actually happening. I think its much more likely that they compromise around someone like Scalise in a few days

It will have to get resolved eventually, the House of Reps literally cant do anything else until they pick a speaker. It might take weeks or months, but eventually, someone will get named speaker

Yah it will. I am new to this bar but these are my obs:

- the grips don’t require a lot of grip strength, since you hook your fingers on them. No need for straps or worry about your grip limiting back growth

- the neutral handles fry my lats very hard

- the 22 inch length is just right in that Goldilocks zone

Huh, my gym got those recently and I'll have to try em out. Trying to really get back in the gym more after cutting back since COVID hit

Sorkin has the problem of being successful enough that nobody gets to edit him. He needs a good, harsh editor, basically, someone he can't overrule somehow. Also someone to write some dialogue so it doesn't all sound like Aaron Sorkin Speaking Out of <actor>'s Mouth.

My gf and I have been watching the X-Files recently and we're at the point that we start to groan whenever an episode opens with a Voice Over because we know we're in 45 minutes of purestrain Chris Carter navel gazing

I mean, they're not wrong about the little patch of yard being overgrown, I turned off the sprinkler 2 years ago during the droughts and have just let go wild.

Going to need a break down of that crab cake recipe.

1 egg
1/4 cup mayo
1 teaspoons mustard
1 scallion, finely chopped
1-2 teaspoons parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Old Bay
Salt and pepper
2/3 cup bread crumbs + more for coating
1 lbs crab meat

Mix everything before the breadcrumbs together in a large bowl until evenly mixed. Add breadcrumbs and mix together. Gently add crab meat and mix together. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, to let it come together

Pour breadcrumbs on a plate, scoop out crab cake mix and shape into patties, then coat top and bottom in breadcrumbs.

Fry over medium heat until they're browned enough. Serve with lemon wedges

The thing that’s a bit of a bummer is that Subaru is kinda behind the curve on hybrid/EVs. We have been idly looking for something that we can camp in the back of and the only thing that really fits the bill is the Highlander Hybrid. Subaru has a hybrid Crosstrek but they’re very expensive and they’ve sold shockingly few of them, so they’re not exactly flooding the used market. I guess they have a new EV coming out soon though, so we’ll see how that turns out.

I actually have one of the hybrid Crosstrek and it's great, though the batteries take up a lot of the trunk space. But I think they only make enough to satisfy the CA emissions laws.

Looks like I'm going to Hawaii sometime this month for a vacation. I just gotta get my dates squared with my lady since she's spending time with family and friends there from the 10th until her new job starts in June. I've only gone to Hawaii as a kid once with my grandparents so going as an adult will be different. Either way I plan to be on the beach the majority of the time, so I'm gonna look like a sunburned walrus when I get home.

tv and hollywood spent multiple decades just churning out hundreds of westerns and they were often very formulaic. Boomers were inundated with them throughout their childhoods and IMO this is quietly one of the factors that poisoned that generation's minds and outlook, the myth of the free, lawless west, conquered by square-jawed independent libertarian heroes (white men) with guns

The generations before them were exposed to the same thing except in the form of novels
