| Topic | Senate passes bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday |
| brestugo 06/16/21 4:38:40 PM #77 | eston posted... What's a good way for white people to celebrate Juneteenth that doesn't come across as co-opting the holiday?I assume you are sincere. So... I am not Jewish or Muslim but have been to Seder feasts and Eid feasts. The equivalent in several Asian cultures. Not something I particularly sought out - I was invited. Maybe the black community should invite more non-blacks to our cookouts (we know a thing or two about grilling meat and frankly some of you are eating shit and calling it bbq) and have some kind of cultural education element. People learned about fucking Tulsa from a TV miniseries and probably half the posters here don't know about Juneteenth and there are people who want to cut back on teaching of "Black History". It's American History. --- Not everyone is suitable to kill a lion - Maasai proverb. |

| brestugo 06/16/21 8:57:41 AM #54 | AvlButtslam posted... Juneteenth is when the last of the slaves were freed, in Texas. The Emancipation Proclamation was two and a half years prior to Juneteenth. Texas had little Union presence and got the message way late.They knew what they were doing. Texas flat out refused to free them. It took the arrival of a U.S. General (Gordon Granger) for them to end slavery. --- Not everyone is suitable to kill a lion - Maasai proverb. |

A former co-worker has been restoring a 1970 Dodge Dart about 15 years now. Got it for like $350, probably could sell it for $5K now. His wife busts his balls about parts so he's doing it bit by bit. I told him to tell his wife a mistress or drinking habit would be more expensive. He loves working on that car, Brings in pics and everything. New paint job and I'd say he'd get $8K, but he'd never sell it. He wants to cruise in that thing. There are guys - and probably women - who like working on cars. I can do an oil change and a brake job among other things, but I don't like it and pay someone to do it. That's just me.

| brestugo 06/15/21 1:19:35 PM #11 | Police culture is universal. When I lived in Providence, RI in grad school, off-duty cops parked free at certain private lots to take their wives, girlfriends - maybe wives and girlfriends together - to restaurants and clubs. An out of state company bought the lots and started charging cops. Uniformed police showed up and smashed the gatekeeping kiosks across the city. The city - not the police department - settled the case at taxpayer expense. This was 2006. --- Not everyone is suitable to kill a lion - Maasai proverb. |

| Topic | How much meat do you leave on a chicken wing |
| brestugo 06/15/21 9:34:16 AM #67 | https://www.mashed.com/232151/read-this-before-you-eat-another-boneless-wing/ Sadly, that's not the case. Instead of being a de-boned wing, boneless chicken wings are made with breast meat. The breasts are cut down into wing-sized pieces before being breaded to make them look more like a traditional wing. If you cut into a chicken wing, you'd find layers of meat, fat, cartilage, and bone. The inside of a boneless chicken wing simply yields a thick layer of white meat just like a chicken nugget... because that's what it is. Traditional wings don't generally have any added ingredients. At Buffalo Wild Wings, for example, the wings come in raw and frozen. When they're thawed, the employees just toss them into the fryer as-is (according to Reddit posts from former Buffalo Wild Wing employees). Unfortunately, boneless wings don't share the same simplicity in ingredients. Because they're made from chicken breasts, they often contain several additions. Many boneless chicken wings contain sodium phosphate like Tyson boneless chicken wings and Digiorno Boneless Wyngz. This additive is added to deli meats and poultry products to keep the meat moist. It's generally considered safe, although its consumption is not ideal for those with kidney issues, high blood pressure, or anyone looking to reduce sodium intake. You may also find flavoring agents like calcium disodium EDTA, or binding and emulsifying agents like xanthan gum, guar gum, and propylene glycol alginate. If you see the word transglutaminase on the ingredients list, pick another brand. This "meat glue" is used to bond proteins together. In short, this boneless wing was created with a Frankenstein-esq, pieced-together patty instead of being cut from a single chicken breast. No, thanks! https://www.bonappetit.com/story/boneless-wings-are-a-lie Boneless wings are nothing more than dry chicken breast cut up into pieces to loosely resemble the size of a real wing. It sounds like a creation from Dr. Frankenstein. Boneless wings are not wings! They are not even dark meat! --- Not everyone is suitable to kill a lion - Maasai proverb. |
