It blows my mind how workers somehow built those giant gothic cathedrals and castles in Europe over 800 years ago. I have no idea how they did all of that without modern technology. Just a bunch of stone masons with a death wish I suppose.

He's in a very unique spot being dominant two way player.

Every player that wasn't a DH was a two way player. This is baseball, not football. Granted a starting pitcher obviously has more of an impact on the defensive side of the ball (once a week), but let's not act like other HOFers were sitting in the dugout scratching their arse all game.

Ohtani is a special player and a superstar, no doubt. It just annoys me when people ignore the glovework of every other player.

Sounds like a made up Latin word

Not to be confused with "garum" which was the prized haute cuisine in ancient Roman times. Basically fish guts that were mixed with salt and left to ferment in the sun until they rotted down into a paste that was spread on bread or mixed into dishes as a flavoring agent.

1996 FSU suffered the same fate as 2011 LSU. Beat UF in the regular season and lost the NC game rematch.

One day she will piss away her money paying a plastic surgeon to carve her face up in a desperate attempt to keep getting attention from creepy old men.

If you have no income you have to apply for Medicaid not ACA, ACA "subsidies" are only in a small income window (Nit sure but like only those that earn 10K to 38K income you get a deal

Not every state expanded Medicaid. The red states require you to work and fit within a certain income range to qualify for subsidies. People who used to qualify for Medicaid under the old system, pre-Obamacare (ie, single poor women with children) still qualify for Medicaid but only the blue states expanded it to cover healthy men.

I'm not sure how it works with married couples. If I had to toss out a guess, I would say her estranged husband signed up for Obamacare and filed a married filing jointly tax return to maximize his tax return and now her attempts to file a tax return are hitting that roadblock. If so, she needs professional help and guidance.

Another "scam" or hustle that happens is that young couples just never get legally married. Wife uses the tax code to qualify for benefits as a single mother - child tax credits, food stamps, Section 8, Medicaid but otherwise lives as common law husband and wife with the baby daddy who has a job but his paycheck doesn't gum up the family benefit hustle because they aren't married.

We found a local butcher to make andouille sausage

I'm sure you already know this but the original French version of andouille sausage, which originated in Normandy and migrated to Breton cultures, is different from the Louisiana Cajun variety.

Bob Marley died from it. Of course I think he tried to treat it by smoking pot and rubbing herbs and flowers on it, but still.

Winning the NIT title means you finished in 65th place in the nation.

I'm not going to pump the NIT but this has NEVER been true. Bubble teams are generally around #40-45 and winning five straight games against tournament competition is only going to bump that up.

Auburn was 38 in the NET rankings and 37 in KenPom going into the tournament.

That's $20k in today's dollars.

What’s the difference between jelly and jam.

Jam is thicker and made from crushed fruit. Jelly is smoother and sweeter and made from fruit juice.

My grandparents ate "preserves" which seemed to be the chunky version of jam.
