Korean war - Douglas MacArthur. This fool had the ill prepared 8th Army wiped out by the Chinese army near the Yalu River in the early stages of the war.

He also presided over the fall of the Philippines, one of the great disasters in American military history. Over 100k Americans taken prisoner. Of course, he wasn't among them because he abandoned his men, leaving Wainwright to take the fall.

DMV is trash all over man. lazy arse government employees. these days if you do not have an appointment. u had best get there at opening time and get in line outside or you have no shot of getting things done.
Depends on where you live. They don't even have appointments at my local DMV. You just walk in, hardly ever any wait. The people working there are polite and helpful.

But we now know that the end result of the virus will be death for humanity if not stopped. Humanity will be blissful and peaceful as it dies out, but it will die out. Which will then let the alien species colonize earth without any conflict.

Actually, as a result of the virus the individual hive members are hyper-competent at everything, with a compulsion to obey and please anyone who retains free will. Sort of an ideal situation for an alien invader.

Costco's pumps are specifically built to accommodate this...a large majority of gas caps are on the left side in America.

The problem is that there is a lane there so that cars can pull out and leave if the car in front of them hasn't finished. The guy filling his left sided gas tank blocks the lane.

My issue at Costco is not people coming in from the wrong direction (which I don't think is possible) but people who have their gas caps on the left side of the car going into lanes designed for people with gas caps on the right side of the car.

I missed how she was able to make the connection between the barcode on the powder bag and the dog food.

It's my impression that she keyed on the fact that the dog food bag was the same size and shape. She pulled the bag out before she checked the barcode. And the barcode was clearly different but (I think) it was located in the same place.
I have posted this before. This is the recipe that came with my stand mixer. Been using it for a couple of decades with no problems:

Add one cup of warm water to the mixing bowl (105-120 degrees). Add two and a quarter teaspoons of yeast.

After 30 seconds or so, add two cups of flour (I use whole wheat) and a tablespoon of olive oil. Mix it for a minute of so with the dough hook and add a teaspoon of salt during the process.

Slowly add additional flour, a couple of tablespoons at a time while the dough is mixing until you get a ball that holds together and cleans the sides of the mixing bowl.

Get another bowl, put some olive oil in the bottom and dip your fingers in the oil to work the dough free of the hook and mixing bowl and into the new bowl. Turn the dough ball a couple of times in the olive oil, cover it, and give it an hour to rise.

After that you are good to go.

The French guy with Air Force one is doing it right. Going to Vegas to stay in Elvis' suite. Harem of women.


We haven't seen the last of Air Force One guy. Prediction: He is going to watch the videos that Carol is making and start getting worried that she is going to cancel the gravy train. So he shows up at her home and tries to kill her.

That line from Pirate Girl about how "we can't protect you from each other" and Air Force One guy asking if the hive mind would interfere if he wanted to kill animals, that is some serious foreshadowing.
As Henry Kissinger said about the Iran/Iraq war: It's a pity both sides can't lose.

They will move to conservative states and still vote Democratic.

This isn't what happened in Idaho. It had a big influx of people from blue states, specifically California, Washington and Oregon. These newcomers are registering republican at a greater percentage than the existing population.

Did OP make his trip?

Not yet, later this month. And it looks like I don't need the recommendation after all as we caught an invite to the rehearsal dinner (at Superior Steakhouse).
I did see the video of the street brawl a couple blocks from the Hilton, I don't think I am going to spend a lot of time walking around downtown.

specifically Koreans

Japanese too. There was a place on Los Angeles called TFO (Tokyo Fried Chicken) that was the bomb.
Add some chorizo, about a half pound to the gallon of chili.

Also, deglaze the pan you used to brown the meat and add that in as well.

Well take into account they have to do something to try to keep people living in that state

Right you are, this is a terrible place to live. Please don't move here, we are full up.
When we moved to Idaho one of the problems was getting decent fried chicken. But we found a grocery store that fries a pretty good bird. Last Friday I got a 12 piece for $8.99

I usually have left-overs from whatever I made the night before. Today it was ribs in a red sauce.

Why does their insurance cover your property

It doesn't. It covers the insured's liability to you if he damages your property.
