what’s the food item with the greatest delta between “how good it tastes” and “how awful it looks when someone who isn’t a professional photographer posts a snap of it on instagram”?

lasagna gotta be pretty high up there

Probably some dun-bean soup or stew.

Beef stew. Most brown, thick stews, really.

I was thinking some beef/mushroom stew combo

Yeah, even something like chili. Chili is helped by usually having garnishes, but anything brown and lumpy when the photographer eschews garnish is about as bad as it gets. That stew could be packed with flavor, or it could be brown mush.

@CaffeineNeeded, I know you love this shit:

The drug is reportedly a mix of fentanyl and other powerful opioids. “Look what it did to my deputy just being in the vicinity of that drug,” Lamb said in a video on Pinal County Sheriff’s Office Facebook. “Imagine how deadly this could be if you used it on purpose.”

Almost as far-fetched is that they supposedly “obtained consent to search” before finding cocaine, fentanyl pills, methamphetamine, and “gray death”!

Man if I know one thing, it’s that opiates make you have it feel like your heart is racing

Anyone stayed at the hotel at the Muckleshoot casino?

The Muck casino is a shithole and they don’t even spread poker anymore, didn’t know they have a hotel. (I also haven’t been there in a decade)

I more or less quit live poker in the couple years before the pandemic, but I didn’t know Mucks closed their poker room. Too bad. They weren’t the best room around, but it was nice to have them as an option down there.

For a while I had a Muckleshoot Casino Poker Room jacket in my closet, which I received when I hit a royal flush there (my first and still only one, live or online). Put the jacket in the donation box a while ago though.

Oh, and I didn’t know they had a hotel now either, so I can’t be any help to you kerowo, sorry!

It may be a shithole but it is within walking distance of my ancestral home and I’m thinking of staying there instead of in the sewing room when I next visit. I didn’t know they closed the poker room either, it’s one of the 2 places I ever played live poker.

Toddlers man. Old enough to have opinions. Too young to reliably tell you what they are. Old enough to move around on their own. Too young to have any clue they might die if they do what they’re trying to do

So thanks to these Gamerbro leaks, we know more about what the military knows about these Chinese spy balloons, as per WaPo. Apparently one flew over a carrier group? Very rowdy.

There used to be a website, 419eater or soemthing like that, that messed with Nigerian prince type scammers pretty good and got it on tape. One of the funny interesting aspects of human psychology is that scammers tend to have personalities that make them easy to scam themselves.
