  1. Does he die in the end? (PM me so as not to spoil it.)
  2. Next door to the margarita bar.
  3. Have you used it to make roasted/glazed nuts or trail mix? It says in the description that it can be used for that as well, so curious if you've done that with it.
  4. Uh, no it's not. I'll take the Garrett's just up the street, please.
  5. RIP Leonard Cohen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrLk4vdY28Q
  6. Heh, actually I would do the same.
  7. I have a slow cooker and have used it once ... but when I'm looking for recipes for other things, I try all kinds of online recipe websites and forums. Most of them have ratings and reviews, which I recommend reading before trying any recipe because sometimes there are some useful hints. And if something works particularly well, I make sure to bookmark it in my created 'Recipes' folder.
  8. Do you actually make your own tortilla chips, too? Or do you use <gasp> store bought?
  9. Yup ... been a member off and on for a long time.
  10. Here's the link to the FB page, you can read through other similar posts to get to the one Ben cited. https://www.facebook.com/shaunking/?ref=ts&fref=ts
  11. Well, we'll never know for sure since that's not what happened, so I don't think it's a valid argument. But agree with it or not, it is a fact that Trump led a very racist-filled rhetoric campaign and people are scared. Most of the protests, from what I've read are anti-racism protests, and also protesting the election results where the majority vote-getter didn't win. (Yeah, I know, that's a separate discussion and our system is what it is unless/until it's changed, but change sometimes begins with protest.) But as to the racism, it has amped up. I was talking to the building engineer of my building this morning. He's American, born in this country, a citizen of this country, with Puerto Rican ancestry. He said that he's experienced racism throughout his life, and that it has amped up quite a bit in recent months. A friend of his just this morning was told, 'Go home, spic!' I know that not everyone who voted for Trump is racist, and I know that many had other reasons for doing so, but nonetheless, they did vote for someone who has emboldened a segment of the population to do hateful things.
  12. I agree. While perhaps 'inconvenient' for some, I don't think peaceful protests are pointless. They are an expression. I've marched s few times in protest of various things.
  13. So, 30-45% of those who voted for Trump was about giving the middle finger message. What about the other 55-70%? Could those be the ones giving an indictment about the minority population then?
  14. Protests in Seattle now, too.
  15. Well, you don't want to go there now .. the protest is 7-8 blocks long, and they are circling all over the place. And I can't tell from the news feed because it's video from a helicopter, so it just looks like one huge long ant trail.
  16. Protest going on in Chicago right now. I'm still at work, just noticed it on my FB feed. From what I can see from the news camera, seems peaceful, just people on a march around downtown and around the Trump tower.
  17. You were coherent.
  18. This is it right here.
  19. What? You mean Occam's razor isn't a thing???
  20. I think it's awoken many of us. I grew up in that world of involvement but it hasn't been a part of my adult life so much.
  21. You've convinced me in the time here I've known you. How's that for opening my mind a bit?
  22. Again, how will they obstruct? They don't have the votes to obstruct.
  23. No, not Trump, but Pence does fit that mold. He's the next step and a heartbeat away.
  24. Without control of the House or the Senate, just how exactly will the Dems be obstructionists? And soon the make up of the courts will also go down a path that won't be changed for a generation to come. There are no checks and balances left here, so I'm not sure how the Dems could be obstructionists.
