Rommel was good. Not as good as Heinz Guderian (aka Quick Heinz), in my humble opinion.

I get it, even if nobody else here does.
Ever been to Boise? Best pizza I have ever eaten at The Wylder.

If he was arrested federally than the US Attorney is already likely on board. But he still has to be indicted by a grand jury.

Recommend a good garlic press

I used to have two decent garlic presses but they both broke. I have gone through a number of replacements but they are either a nightmare to clean or leave most of the garlic mashed up in the press.
Can somebody recommend a good, serviceable garlic press?
Thanks in advance.

I was in Quantico doing some BS job waiting for orders when Jim Webb visited the base. The word spread like wildfire, and it was like a rock star showing up on a college campus. Everyone stopped what they were doing and went outside hoping to catch a glimpse.

A medical bill is a made up number, with no relation to what the procedure costs or, more importantly, what the doctor is willing to take to do the procedure.
The insurance company never pays the list bill because the provider, in order to be "in network," agrees to take the "UCR" (usual, reasonable, and customary) price, which is a lot less.
In your case, the doctor knows there is no chance you would be willing to pay the list price. In my experience, they (except for anesthesiologists) are almost always willing to heavily discount the list price for a cash payment.

re: Eight Cents worth of Bay Leaves?

I confess to having no idea at all what they do. I put them in the dish because the recipe says so.
Eight Cents worth of Bay Leaves?
Posted by Roscoe14 on 1/8/26 at 10:32 am
The WinCo where I shop keeps a lot of staples, like rice, beans, flour and spices, in bins. I was short of bay leaves so I filled up a small baggie with a couple of tongs worth, writing the appropriate number on the twist tie.
The check out lady had a problem, as the amount of bay leaves didn't weigh enough to register at her scale. After consulting with another cashier, she pressed the air out of the bag, which apparently worked.
When I got home I checked the receipt to see what she charged me for the bay leaves. Eight cents.
This handily beats my previous best, which was 43 cents worth of rosemary.

I have the Anova. Owned it for 3-4 years and no problems. I just sealed up a four pound rib roast, not sure it would handle much more than that.

He also presided over the fall of the Philippines, one of the great disasters in American military history. Over 100k Americans taken prisoner. Of course, he wasn't among them because he abandoned his men, leaving Wainwright to take the fall.

DMV is trash all over man. lazy arse government employees. these days if you do not have an appointment. u had best get there at opening time and get in line outside or you have no shot of getting things done.

Actually, as a result of the virus the individual hive members are hyper-competent at everything, with a compulsion to obey and please anyone who retains free will. Sort of an ideal situation for an alien invader.
re: AA and Sam's/Costco gas

Costco's pumps are specifically built to accommodate this...a large majority of gas caps are on the left side in America.
The problem is that there is a lane there so that cars can pull out and leave if the car in front of them hasn't finished. The guy filling his left sided gas tank blocks the lane.
My issue at Costco is not people coming in from the wrong direction (which I don't think is possible) but people who have their gas caps on the left side of the car going into lanes designed for people with gas caps on the right side of the car.
