I don't know much about autism even though I have a brother and his mom on the spectrum. They also believe the rise is mostly because we know more about it and are better at detecting it but they also think there could be environmental factors that could be contributing as well. Stepmom is a little kooky so I don't know how much truth there is in what she says but I mean, microplastics and ultraprocessed foods aren't good for you regardless.

Same for us regarding PE, just a class, though if you were on a sports team, you usually had a special class that was just extra practice/weight room/gym time. Lunch was our only free time but I guess the 5 minutes between classes could count if your classes were close enough together that you had time to do anything besides maybe go to the bathroom.

We had recess in elementary but not in any school after that. It's just classes until lunch, lunch, classes until the end of school, some kind of after school sports practice, go home.

Roasted some chicken drumsticks and served that with a whatever we have Mexican rice and miso honey butter carrot chips. The Sonathan liked the chicken and the carrots and the Dottiri loved the rice. Wife and I thought it was all really okay. High praise!

Sardines and anchovies Who wants to make out?

Murray and MPJ have both been very disappointing and I never had any expectations for Westbrook to live up to.

I'm lucky that I have a few local spots that stock it, a Polish grocery store/butcher shop and a little Italian shop down the road always have it. My local Sprouts sometimes has it too. Before that I would order it for special occasions but I'd recommend trying local meat spots first. E: I put a random Houston address into Instacart and searched for it and Central Market has it listed but out of stock

I also made salmon that I soaked in sake and miso for a couple of days.

I pretty much always have guanciale on hand these days but sometimes I prefer pancetta to mix it up. I don't care about authenticity for anything anymore, just taste.

Doing pork ribs today. Weather was nice-ish this weekend so I wanted to take advantage

We're about half way through The Residence on Netflix. I'm a sucker for a mystery even though the Shondaland logo at the beginning put me off, because I've not liked any of those shows before, this one has grown on me.

Grilled some beef ribs, sweet corn, mini sweet peppers, and tomatoes. I guess the trick to getting my kids to clean their plates is to spend 5-6 hours at the grill.

Yeah, once upon a time I was a gov't contractor and I still have a lot of feds and contractors on LinkedIn. It's funny seeing the Trump supporters crying now that they've lost their jobs, he was supposed to get "them" not "us" The schadenfreude, mmm, chef's kiss. I guess we've found the limit on their willingness to eat **** to make liberals smell their breath

I dunno what's going on in MAGA-world but my MAGA neighbor has taken down all of their Trump and MAGA signs and posters. They still have a giant American flag and their Jesus stuff up but everything else is gone. I'd ask them but I value my sanity, well, what remains of it.

It's 5 o'clock somewhere

Trump: me signing this order to end social security is actually just me fighting for you against the Biden crime family who is actually responsible for ending social security during the illegal and immoral Obama administration.

If they can afford to. I'd file this with a lot of stuff the right puts out that sounds good initially and starts to break down the more you look into it. I mean, ideally with something like this where you want everyone to verify in person then you would make it easier to do so instead of harder by closing offices and locations.

Yeah, billionaire can't comprehend people on fixed incomes and living paycheck to paycheck because billionaire's MIL will be alright if she doesn't get a check for a month. They must be scammers. I mean, why don't they just get a small loan of a million dollars from their dads? These people are truly amazing human beings and awe inspiring bastions of empathy.

I have a solicitors will be shot sign by the front door but they seem to think it's a challenge. So I just walk around loudly ignoring people at the door.

Looks like instead of Ctrl+F trans they did Ctrl+F equality. I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled it because at the very end it said he championed gender and racial equality. It's pathetic. These people and their supporters are pathetic.

A bit more on that https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/03/14/marines-can-now-be-kicked-out-skin-condition-affects-mostly-black-men.html?amp

Other than special forces or those with religious or medical exceptions beards aren't allowed. My guess is that he doesn't mean special forces who have a relaxed grooming standard. That leaves religious and medical exceptions, so Sikhs and people with awful razor bumps (can happen to anyone but way more common in black people).

Wife and I were just complaining to each other about this. I make a point to wander off between reponses.
