Spatchcock turkey in the oven is the best way to do it. Any other method comes out dry in the white meat

Just ran as many as my oldest would tolerate in the double stroller to avoid my MIL coming about bizarre and unnecessary tasks for me

holds both the records for least amount of thanksgiving food consumed and most amount of cocaine consumed on Thanksgiving

Like Pistol petes scoring record, will never be touched

I was here explaining how years of the initial inflation were caused by Trump's Covid policies/spending, only to have idiots try to argue with me

---

the biggest inflationary event was dropping the rates to 0 in March 2020 while white collar workers income largely was unaffected if anything they saved money working from home on gas.

Caused a boom in remodels, additions to the house and moving while supply chain was completely fricked

They should spend more time focussing on the micro instead of the macro because that is what they can control.

---

Yes, it’s good practice to focus on what you control. It’s also annoying that every thread gets bogged down with “just don’t buy starbucks”

Yes, people spend money on dumb shite but when the average first time home buyer is 40 years old there are a much larger issues than buying coffee.

If you hate the NYC mayor and lefty style populism, (I
Do) but I certainly see why it’s going to continue to gain traction as the powers at be continue to fail younger generations. It’s never good for a country to have a bunch young dudes with idle hands so it’s a problem worth fixing.

What the solution is? frick if i know, all I can do grind away a living in this world and hope my kids aren’t as retarded as I was

That team struggled, but still had a few games where they showed sparks (Florida, Ole Miss, aTm bowl game)

---

Les was good for a handful of trick plays a season usually against Florida

Offense at least ate clock and shorten games which is better than can be said for Sloans

I’m almost starting to believe that this is the ultimate goal of the people making these decisions. Force people to constantly move so they can never have roots in any one spot and develop a local culture and community.

---

One nice thing about the interest rate whiplash is that there has been nearly zero turnover in my neighborhood. Despite it all being 3/2 starter ranches and nearly everyone having at least 2 kids since 2020.

Little economical forced community, it’s good for the kids

Expectations have risen. No one wants a 1400 square foot house with window units. Because of that, the average house now has amenities that were true luxuries 30 or 40 years ago.

---

A window unit is cheaper today, not adjusted for inflation, than it was in the 70s and 80s.

Central air was $2000-$5000 install in the 80s. No one is going to build a house without central air in the south because it wouldn’t sell

Appliances and tv simply aren’t the luxury purchase they used to be

quote:

---

The middle class is shrinking because the upper class is growing. What is also growing is the expectations of Americans as to what they are entitled to have. The typical lower middle class household is filled with luxuries that the same family couldn't dream of 40 years ago (and I'm not talking about just tech).

---

$126,038k household income is not upper class, that is less than what two teachers make

That’s what I was thinking. Mexicans ain’t got time for that shite. I saw a crew of 5 put together a prefab barn years ago and I think it took them all of 30 minutes from start to finish.

My tree guy is or at least was pre Trump cheap as hell and would have 4 dudes climbing like monkeys up the tree

It was honestly impressive how fast they got rid of my dead water oak
