First of all, this is a pre-stuffed turkey, which is going to be more expensive than a plain turkey.

Second, the weights are shown in kilograms, which means this is not from the US, and thus that's not US Dollars. It's probably Canadian, which would be about US$60, and that would mean it's about $3.08 per pound. If it's Australian or New Zealand it's even less.

I'm going to guess Canada, since the only hit I get for a pre-stuffed Butterball is from Butterball.ca.

You're not fooling anyone, it's a fucking dollar. Just say it's $5, way quicker to write than $4.99.

While you'd think that was the case, the psychology says otherwise.

The better question is why do gas prices end with 9/10. The same logic probably applied when gas was priced in cents but it seems kind of pointless now

The bottles in the store say 20. The product was probably changed after the ad was made.

I think agesboy is correct, I think it actually does say 20, since the ABV is 40, and it is just an issue with the image resolution. The product page also says 20.

Looking at pictures of the two of them, my money would probably be on Mullen.

A lot of these were in Africa. It's no surprise the Allies didn't care as much about war crimes committed against black people, sadly.

Which is also probably why the Japanese crimes weren't considered as important, since they were largely in China. The numbers involved for Italy were also substantially smaller than either Germany or Japan.

My main issue with him is that he essentially has one art style and everything he draws is pretty much interchangeable.

Oh nah it was on Xbox One S. Interesting to hear that though, possibly the problem is something to do with memory.

Ah, yeah my wife and I are both on Series X and haven't had any real issues aside from the initial launch nonsense with the servers.

I kind of regret buying Forza Horizon 5. It is a fantastic game, but after a certain number of hours (maybe only 20% through the game) it started crashing all the time and eventually became unplayable.

Did you get it on PC? I've never had an issue with it on console but I have seen PC players mention it before. No clue if it ever got fixed.

In the US at least, Japan's actions in WW2 are definitely white-washed compared to the Nazi's. There are probably plenty of Americans that don't even know Japan invaded China since most history courses just focus on the US/Japan conflict.

Yeah, sunset here is a little later but still before 5.

I'll assume this is The Simpson's for obvious reasons, but I'll admit not one I'm familiar with.

How much does it cost to go on one?

It varies wildly depending the the cruise line, the duration, the route, etc... When cruises restarted post pandemic they were practically giving them away, but I think the market has largely rebounded by now.

It's not a matter of liking him or not or even the size of his audience (which was massive [proportionally] back when he was one of the only games in town, but isn't particularly big today) - it's that he was basically one of the first online video content creators in the gaming sphere. Dude was hugely influential and basically helped set the table for video content creation back when that was still a new medium online.

It's like not knowing who Hideo Kojima is - sure, you may or may not be a fan of his work - or you may not have even watched it at all - but unless you first got into the hobby within the last 10 years (which I doubt describes anyone posting on GameFAQs these days), you probably have heard his name at some point.

Never heard of him either and I'm closer to 50 than 40. The Escapist was a vaguely familiar name, but I couldn't even have told you it was gaming related. Generally if I'm watching something video game related, it is probably how to do something in a specific game rather than general video game content.

Super annoying, because it lined up with my vaccine. I thought I was just getting really bad side-effects, as I started getting chills on Monday a few hours after getting the booster. I reacted with similar symptoms on my 2nd booster, but this escalated quickly. I went to bed super early, and had horrible chills/aches. I sweated thru my bed and it smelled fucking gross in the morning. I took the day off work, but was feeling a fair bit better by the end of the day.

Last night I also sweated through my bed (gross) but it wasn't as bad. I felt fine in the morning, so I went to work today. I still had weird sniffles and sneezing, like a very very mild cold. Plus my head was a little foggy. I thought I better rule out COVID when I got home but...whoopie, some time off work. I was thinking I didn't have it because my appetite, taste and smell are totally fine. What a weird stupid virus!

I got it after PAX Unplugged last year. Sounds like yours hit harder and passed faster than mine did. I never felt seriously bad, I worked the whole time since I work from home, but it dragged on for days.

Madden, should be fun

Assuming that is a 'you would be yourself' scenario, the coaches would probably be very confused as to why they hired you.

Currently I'm playing Forza Horizon 4 so I'd be in pretty good shape.

I remembered it as soon as I saw the title of the post, but I'd completely forgotten it prior to that.

I mean technically he is already broke.

OK, that one is just weird.

That's pretty sad, he supposedly beat his addiction issues a few years ago.

Something doesn't add up about "drowning in a jacuzzi" though. I wonder if he had a heart attack.

I'm sure we'll have conspiracy theories shortly about how he was going to 'blow the whistle' on Hollywood.

5 years maximum? I'm generally all for rehabilitation, but I'd rather see them chained up in one of their rings and the dogs let loose on them.

It's weird that he is only facing one charge currently, considering it sounds like they have a fairly hefty amount of evidence against him. Usually they throw everything and the kitchen sink out there in hopes of getting a plea.

adjl posted...

The prevailing belief among the sort of people who took Fox News as gospel in the first place is that Fox was forced to admit guilt by the same massive conspiracy that kept Trump from taking power in the first place. Within that belief system, Fox isn't actually guilty and they didn't actually lie, they've just been victimized by a justice system that doesn't want the American people to know the truth.

While ignoring the whole 'if there was such a powerful conspiracy opposing him how did he become President in the first place' problem.

darkknight109 posted...

That is not even remotely close to true.

Settlements provide surety for both parties, which is why they're the preferred way to handle these disputes. Most cases never see the inside of a courtroom, because the parties will settle beforehand. That's not because one side or the other is doubtful about their chances in court, it's because they still have some control over the outcome there. Once you put a case in front of a judge or jury, you have no idea what's going to happen.

Keep in mind that this "settlement" was the single largest settlement whose amount is publicly known in US history (it's possible there may have been a larger one whose terms could not be disclosed, but that's unlikely), which suggests Fox knew they were sunk, else they would have more aggressively negotiated for a lower amount or taken their chances in court. And while it was only about half of what Dominion was asking for, that also doesn't really mean anything, because when you file a lawsuit you can ask for any amount you want - more than the amount of cash in circulation in the world, if you're so inclined. The amount of damages you claim has no relation to the actual damages you suffered or what you're likely to get, even if your case is successful, it's just a number you're putting on the forms to show how much you're asking for.

It is also fairly common for a smaller party to settle to avoid protracted legal battles. The fact that Dominion managed to get FOX to even somewhat admit wrongdoing as part of the settlement was fairly impressive, most settlements contain wording that the party doesn't admit to any wrongdoing.

Based on every painting from the Middle Ages Jesus was white, so that would make sense.

Yeah, I find it ironic that most people that 'praise Jesus' are the same people that would likely call the cops on him if they saw him walking around their neighborhoods today.

So far you can just close it and keep playing the video.

Crunchyroll basically steals shows from Japan, right? There's just no jurisdiction to go after them?

I mean, if that's the case, why pay for pirated movies, just pirate it yourself.

No, they actually license the shows they show. They are owned by Sony after all.

I was factoring in that it certainly wouldn't be a quick process for him to get the speakership (assuming he was even eligible) given how slim the Republican margin is and the fact that it would be difficult for both Biden and Harris to 'disappear' at the same time.

A lot of work to be President for less than a year.

It genuinely doesn't matter, the dude is a massive sack of shit and that is a positive part of the resume to become CEO for some reason. He'll have another job in the industry in a week and then he will try to think of some way to destroy that company too.

Yeah, he was already booted as CEO for EA and he landed the Unity gig less than a year later. I've never understood why companies just seem to trade shit CEO's around.

I haven't been in years, but Disney's page for it says they have all 45 presidents and mentions Biden by name.

I have not received any message stating I am eligible, I am also not part of an "at risk" group. So I would have to check if I am even allowed to get it.

I don't think they are doing that for the current round. I don't think they even did that for the last booster, outside of the initial round when there were shortages it has pretty much been "If you want it you can have it." In the US at least, can't say how the rest of the world is handling it.

Zareth posted...

Trump would never agree to be Speaker, they actually have work to do and he can't just golf all day.

Trump also seems to view the government as a big company with the President as the boss, so he would never take a role that, in his mind, would put him under Biden.

Not sure if true but saw a article on yahoo while at work stating Obama did once say he'd be fine with having someone be a stand in president for him and him tell them what to say over a earpiece.

If his wife did become president surely he'd have some influence.

He did say that, but in the context it was obviously a bit tongue in cheek.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/obama-third-term-stand-in-quote/

"OBAMA: I said this before. People would ask me, "Knowing what you know now, do you wish you had a third term?" And I used to say, "You know what? If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff, and then I could sort of deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, I'd be fine with that. Because I found the work fascinating. I mean, I write about the... even on my worst days, I found puzzling out, you know, these big, complicated, difficult issues, especially if you were working with some great people, to be professionally really satisfying. But I do not miss having to wear a tie every day."

Then how would you change the measurements of the ganache?

On a side note, the sweetner for the cherry filling is now changed from turbinado to coconut sugar, to reduce excess sweetness.

I'm not sure, normal a ganache is a 1:1 ratio between the chocolate and cream and the only time I've seen butter used is if you are starting with milk instead of cream. Of course I've also never seen it done using goat cream so maybe the butter is necessary for some reason?

What is with these fuckers who think Michelle Obama is going to be President, despite having no experience in politics and publicly stating that she has no interest either?

Because they need to keep using the Obama name and even they can't come up with a way that Barack Obama could somehow become president again so they started using Michelle with him pulling the strings instead.

Revelation34 posted...

Yes but if you're using that much sugar in the cake itself then the filling doesn't need as much as listed.

I'm not sure the ganache proportions work either.
