Congrats!

Our little tree this year Sorry for the bad quality pic It's a compromise because I like real trees which are a pain in our condo and my wife prefers fake ones

The tamales were great but the roasted pork shoulder ended up being the star of the night (well that and the sriracha 2 go keychains I gave everyone). Happy Christmas everyone

Probably Dragonfall since it was my game of the year

Just the right amount of both in my opinion

In season 4 of Voyager and I forgot how attractive Seven of Nine was

Not the whole thing just the eastern part

In that case I would just Ctrl Y them

Thanks!

I can't wait

Corn husk is the traditional wrap for us in the southwest

Yeah, we use lard which is the main reason we only eat them a couple days out of the whole year tamales. yum. you use lard, yes? lard is love. HA! Good Fun! I'm having chicken fried steak for your birthday, boom. Also, the best tamale ever, came wrapped in a big green banana leaf. It was what you call sumptuous, presumably with lard love baked in, I don't know. I'm jealous We ate some like that when we were in Costa Rica. Different but still delicious EDIT: Thinking of making fry bread as well since everything else is already so unhealthy

Better now than in the Superbowl... again

Bought the rest of the supplies for our Christmas Eve/post birthday (best for last) dinner. Got the meat for the tamales cooking down and about to start marinating the pork shoulder since it needs to sit a whole day... my mouth is watering just thinking about it

Restarting EU4 after the Spanish and like 5 other Catholic countries destroyed my Cherokee nation that was attempting to keep the new world free of Europeans

I picked up all the DLC for EU4

Happy winter solstice everybody

EU4 So far my Cherokee nation has managed to consolidate most of the new world east of the Mississippi and Ohio but Spain is pushing pretty hard from Texas and the Caribbean. England also has a solid foothold in Canada but so far hasn't tried to push south

I think this is important. What constitutes "reliability". 100% accuracy? 75%? If your government had to torture a terror cell (lets say 20 people for the sake of conversation) to prevent a school bombing type incident like what recently happened in Pakistan, would it be acceptable to you that 19 didn't know anything but one did and gave it up? Sorry, I missed this earlier From what I've been told it's more likely that all 20 would eventually tell you whatever they thought you wanted to hear and you would have figure out what, if anything, is the truth This is an execution, a grisly one to be sure, but still an execution and I don't think barbarism excuses barbarism

Not too much today but finally finished shopping for the holidays. Tomorrow we are doing all my birthday stuff since the actual day is like Tuesday or something. The plan is brunch, spa, Korean BBQ Congrats again Calax!

You don't need to get specific with the details but what would you replace everything with? I don't think many people would get in line for a completely unregulated health care (non) system

When I was a kid my "fun uncle"* took me to the supermarket to get a movie. This was back in the days when there were still huge stores that sold nothing other than movies on VHS. Anyway, this supermarket, I forget the name of it, had a relatively large video rental store with a decent collection of movies. After walking the aisles for a while I finally saw a movie that caught my eye. It had Lou Diamond Phillips in it and was a comedy. I like comedy and it goes without saying, or at least it should, that I like Lou Diamond Phillips. We get the movie and leave the but somehow in the span of the 5 minutes it took to check out and exit the building I lost the movie. We looked everywhere for it but couldn't find it. I still had the receipt and it said DISORGANIZED CRIME on it. At first I thought that's what I did by losing the movie until I realized that it was the name of the movie. Anyway, happy holidays *uncle that parties all the time and is/was a disappointment to my grandparents
