Wikipedia functionally ended the market for encyclopedias. When I was a kid I would go to the library and read an encyclopedia just to see what random knowledge was in there. Traveling salesman would sell encyclopedias door to door and they were hugely expensive. Then Encarta came along and it was mind blowing you could have all that information on some CDs. Then Wikipedia killed all of them and did it for free.

When computers began to take hold in middle class homes, one of the biggest gold rushes was to be the encyclopedia of choice on the computer, since consumers saw encyclopedia software as an obvious (and maybe best!) use case for a computer.

Where do you look for stuff like that?

My account has been locked up because my daughter has three separate BG3 games going with friends. Last week my son said we need to put a time limit on her because nobody else can play on Steam.

What a dirtbag.

Imagine being so divorced from your community that you think only the actual act of being killed in their school affects children and not the practicing for active shooters, dealing with the fact that people walk into schools and murder children in your society, etc and not understanding the possible consequences of that on small children.

Very good statistical argument. You may have missed a very small issue though, the part where it's children and being murdered and them having to deal with that. Other than that, well done.

Oh, when was that, when two people were honestly debating their views and policies? Was it Nixon? Reagan? Bush? other Bush? Which Republican was it?

You can be critical of a politician and still support that politician. Why that's suddenly a super difficult thing to understand is beyond me.

...so then you totally did understand, you just wanted someone to waste their time explaining it so you could immediately come back with jill stein nonsense. that was a dick thing to do.

Cherry smoke. 4 hours at 225, then wrapped in paper and back on for another hour at 275. I moved to Seattle a couple years ago and have been doing tons of briskets and boudin for the Seattle people that don’t know great bbq, but I was missing a nice rib. Cut em up and served em but kept the chonky ends for myself. Left the silverskin on and it came off crackly and delicious.

Damn ribs are good.

My first. 10 lbs, bone in. Cooked at 175 for 6 hours until temp hit 128. Out of the oven for a rest with a light foil tent for 45 mins. Internal temp rose to 133.5 during the rest. Back in to oven on air fryer at 500 degrees for 6 mins. Exterior was blistered and delicious. Medium rare and just right. Served with homemade chimmichurri and horseradish sauces. Both were a hit.

 

Hope he’s alright. Probably time to start that post playing coaching career.

 

god damn son.

United vs. Gala was a hilarious disaster of a game punctuated with some great moments.

I left Sevilla PSV when it was 2-0 in the 60th. Apparently that was one of the worst decisions I've made in a good long time. How about Pepi with the killer header to win it?

Arsenal stomped Lens.

Inter vs. Benfica was amazing.

That Athletico goal was some bullshit, but it looked pretty cool.

What did I miss?

 

I have no idea. Curious where you guys are.
