Never understood the months that end in R thing.


Because that's not "the thing". It's that you shouldn't eat oysters in months that HAVE an r in them. Not that they end in r.

Also, it's a dumb rule because oysters can be imported from places it's perfectly safe to eat them. Otherwise seafood places wouldn't serve oysters year round like they all do.

Great news for Charleston. Top-shelf TX BBQ joint all the way around. And FTR, yes, it's better than John Lewis's place.


I'm a Lewis fanboy but I will always be in favor of more great spots, especially TX BBQ. If nothing else it'll make sure Lewis stays on their game. And I've never ectually eaten at a Truth restaurant, I just had it at the Windy City Smokeout in Chicago and loved it.
LFG!!! I love this place. Also, it's about five minutes from where I live and directly next door to our Packer bar. Bill Murray had an ownership stake in Rutledge Cab Co that was previously in the building. He's also a partial owner of Container Bar (our Packer bar), which doesn't serve food. So yours truly will be putting on 10 lbs during football season.

Climate change bros should be protesting this.


think about how much CO2 something like that or the Canadian wildfires puts out over any given time and then contrast that with the fact that NYC is saving the planet by fricking over about 100 coal or wood fired pizzerias :lol:

The New Regulations

The Mandate: Pizzerias with coal or wood-fired ovens installed prior to May 2016 must hire an engineer to review their setup and install specialized filtration systems.

The Goal: To reduce smoky pollutants, odors, and particulate matter that contribute to respiratory issues.

The Cost: Upgrades and equipment installation can cost individual restaurant owners anywhere from $20,000 upwards to over $100,000 depending on the complexity of the chimney and exhaust configuration.

Who Is Affected: The rule impacts roughly 100 to 130 legacy and newer specialty pizzerias across the five boroughs.

I know owners want to act like they need a new stadium every 10 years, but does the rest of the general public think a stadium built in 2000 is older? Maybe it is technically correct if 16 other franchises have newer stadiums. ETA: I just looked it up. Only 12 other stadiums are older. So, I guess this statement is technically correct.

The valuations are super influenced by owning the stadium. It’s why the packers are never high and the bears so desperately want to own their stadium (which is why Soldier Field isn’t an option).

This coach was earlier asked what her opinion was regarding men playing women's sports & her answer was "I am not educated enough on this subject to give you an answer". She did. add that she was "all about inclusiveness


A large segment of this country now cannot tell you what a woman actually is and has no opinion on men invading every women’s space. It’s wild made worse by the fact that EVERYONE KNOWS THE ANSWER. These people should be absolutely derided and mocked loudly every time it happens.

I'll see your Hanna Battah and raise you a Hanna Powers. Not long ago she left Charleston to work at a station in Denver. The greatest loss in this town since the Civil War. I'll never be over losing her :banghead:

That AVA woman is getting absolutely dragged in the responses :lol:

riling up simple-minded folks on one side


So one side (the sane one) pointing out the absurdity and indefensible and illogical positions of wackos on the other side makes us simple minded. Who knew. :lol:

They don’t care about the absurdity, one guy is trying to reclaim the Fox News hype (Kanter) and another guy is trying get cheap election publicity (White).


Please stop misgendering and deadnaming. It sounds like you need to be educated on the #BelieveAllWomen idea. Bigot.

ETA: The morons saying "commit to the bit" don't even realize that when they keep going with that they will actually be defining what a woman is :lol:

Wait, so we're calling out hypocrisy now? Just want to make sure.

We couldn't think of a more recent big movie he's been in? I feel like there's been a lot of them :lol:

That, and Bama is good about throwing a ton of scholarship money to kids who couldn’t quite get into a top-tier state flagship or similar private school.


There aren’t any big traditional schools (sports, Greek life, etc) in the NE. Closest is PSU, so they have to come South. And there’s lots of wealth up there so they can afford it. That’s the answer.
"Big companies are evil" guy has entered the chat. Nice.

Let's all just be able to destroy things that belong to people/organizations we don't like. Progressive.
Whatever happened to the fat kid who said in his video that all he does is hit dingers?

He could have injured and killed many people, and this incident would be remembered much differently if he had have. But the fact that he did not allows our brain to have a little bit more empathy for him. There are plenty of instances in human history where someone did something dangerous, potentially injuring and killing people, but didn't, and they are romanticized.


That plane was roughly a $20,000,000 loss, not to mention the costs of cleanup and recovery on that island. This is nowhere near a "no harm, no foul" situation.

I am wondering what everyone's opinion about financial managers? I have heard stories of managers taking everything from their clients which makes me leery.


They're worth it and can help you in a ton of ways...helping manage risk, telling you where to invest and how to allocate across asset classes, help you with tax savings, etc. Without it you're just guessing and costing yourself a lot of money and missed returns.

Would be curious to hear some of those stories of advisors "taking everything" from their clients.
