Help yourself to a drink on my tab at Absinthe, brah. :cheers:

For the record, I’m not saying he’s wrong necessarily. But this clown likely has as much actual insight about the situation as the average poster here.

My freezer looks like a bait shop fridge sometimes. But the OP asked about vac sealing so I said what I said.


But you said you were utilizing a bag not a container. :confused:

Still?

There just aren't nearly the number there used to be, I think.

A long time ago, there was one in Austin. Can verify it's list worthy.


I would assume that would have been affiliated with the Katz’s from Houston, which I’m all but certain, has no connection at all with the NYC place. I think it’s a good deli, though.
I’ve always wondered that about the Secret Service. What are the acts for which they’d be expected to “break rank”?

ladle liquid into bag. Place bag upright in freezer. Freeze contents. Seal once frozen.


If you put a liquid food product into a air tight freezer bag and squeeze it to the top before sealing, then freeze, isn't that effectively the same thing as "vacuum sealing"? :dunno:
That kinda reads to me like "Don't be mad at me, I'm just playing pointess games!"

He's still around! He said mass in January and played his accordion after his homily. He looks great. The same as always.


Someone told me they thought he had passed. That is good to hear. He played the accordion once when I was there. I haven’t been there since the new pastor came onboard.

I didn’t express any particular personal views of “social justice” generally, but I see it as a relatively new concept that can often get in the way of personal growth and development, which I see more of His teachings as seeking to advance. I don’t know that I wish to share more, but I also don’t doubt most seeking to advance it come from a good place. I can’t say I’m not suspicious about some, though.

Vincentians are famously down-to-earth. Maybe you aren’t familiar with the order?


Yes, I'm well familiar with both them and the Jesuits. The intellectual rigor required to become a Vincentian is about half of that required to become a Jesuit. It wasn't really a value-based point, just factual. As was the social justice one. The Vincentians indeed have a few higher-ed institutions, while the Jesuits arguably created what we know as modern higher education. Both have arguably allowed their social justice impulses to impede on their current-day advances in that area.

I used to occasionally attend Father Tom's masses as St. Joseph's. He was a good soul, but went a bit off the deepend during covid, which I understand was likely as much due to his own health issues as anything. I sadly think he's no longer with us.

The same melt happened last year on a slightly lesser level.


Correct. It’s basically a two year old phenomenon. The question is, then, why did the NFL go 58 years without doing this, and suddenly decide this is the route they want to go?

I'm guessing the internet/social media, which is why it exploded under Obama.


I’m guessing it’s a chicken or the egg thing that sort of coincides with this seeming rabid desire of historically normal institutions to poke “normies” in the eye.

You already admitted the emotional reaction of such folks was not surprising to you. You can’t believe it wasn’t to those who made the choice. It seems silly to argue it wasn’t at least a partial driving force in making the choice, then. Hell, it’s hard to really argue there was any point but “triggering.”
quote:

The landscape of the emotional right in 1993 was nothing like it is today


Due to what? Why do you think peak pop era Michael Jackson didn’t piss them off but some guy they’ve never heard of singing in Spanish does? It’s just cause they’ve changed?

Do you not think the 1993 NFL could have found an entertainer to equally trigger them? Do you, even for a minute, wonder why that wouldn’t even be remotely considered as something they’d want to do then, but something you (or at least many others) seem giddy about now?

Solely due to some vast sea change amongst the “emotional right” huh?
quote:

Since MJ in 1993


That at the height of his national popularity. You think a large portion of the NFL viewing public was pissed by that?
Tell us how far back this goes for the NFL?
quote:

From the huge population of emotional types? No. Not at all. It's pretty on brand since 2016 or so.


So one can logically conclude that was at least part of the point here, right?
