of course eggs were fresh, although omelettes came from a carton. Somewhere earlier this year, they started getting frozen stuff into each of the stores and got rid of all the people who just did prep every day.

they used to rock until this year for breakfast. The biscuits were always fresh, and the hash brown casserole was sort of fresh. (they basically used a process that are much like the "boxed" hash brown cartons you can get. But those are about as non-processed as you can get with shelf stable stuff.

What's even worse is doing technical interviews. I work in gov sector, and we always send questions 15 minutes before the interview (using teams). Out of the 10 people we last interviewed, I suspect 3-4 paraphrased ai, and at least 2 literally read the response to us. It was so painful.

People at the real Great Taste a few miles away are all confused when they see checkins from our party with things like 'Surly Darkness(2017)' Plus we have lots of tasty food we don't have to pay an arm and a leg for.

Yeah, I had a few 2 weeks ago in an annual 'Taste of the Backyard'. The folks I hung out with used to always do the Great Taste of the Midwest, but during covid they created their own 'Taste of Covid' (complete with glasses) and then that morphed into the current setup.

The sim results seem to indicate that the cards win by shooting the lights out and struggle against teams that are capable of stopping offenses. Just like in real life, where the D will probably be the biggest question mark, and will probably be the biggest factor in our record.

iām sure he has his own secrets too. Not in the same vein, but stuff that he didnāt want getting out with family or friends he's made in politics. He is more loyal to those relationships. But R side doesn't respect that way anymore, and the D side... Well, the new blood knows what's up at least.

Biden was in the Senate for decades. Long before computerized records of everything and cell phone cameras were everywhere His idea of playing dirty is exposing his fellow politicians private lives. I guarantee even if he led a boring sex life, he knows all the details of the powerful who didn't.

I don't either, just presenting a "Why". It's very clear the old guard most connected to old money just want it to go away.

thereās old school Democrats that are on the list. Biden never wanted to rock the boat on his side of the aisle, and never wanted to play "dirty". Plus during most of that his child was vulnerable to retaliation.

as for the"I saw the best of collegiate sports" we really wonāt know that for a few more years. Right now itās the wild west, and they really havenāt been able to show the courts negative effects. Once they can, we might see some tweaks and standards that may improve the process.

yeah, when youāre getting paid like that, youāre just getting prepaid for all the NIL. Whether or not they actually sell jerseys or sell your likeness is beside the point. Some NIL deals will include being called up for a commercial or something like that, and you get a minor amount for your time.

some of the parents and less scrupulous agents know this and will use social media to blast the school for not paying players even though they are leaving. It would be corrected very quickly, legally, but the false allegation has a tendency to stay around.
ChrisInWI (@criscokkat.bsky.social) reply parent
It absolutely happens, players (+parents)are gaming the system w/ willpower for contracts. Example: 15k signing with the rest coming during the season. Sure you can claw back that amount, but do programs want to risk social media fallout? Damage of suing to recover can be worse than eating it.

Well sure that keeps them from being prosecuted and or sued. Either one of those things will keep them from getting future jobs. Most police donāt care about the legality of what they do, they only start carrying if it affects their future employment and or pocketbook.

Believe it or not itās still a capable aircraft. Its top speed is around 575 mph, and a B-52 is around 650 mph. So it is somewhat comparable in speed. Payloads are similar, but the tu-95 can loiter three or four times longer near the target because the props are more fuel efficient at slow speeds

I guarantee you if some terrorist organization smuggle in these type of drones with these type of payloads, they could rock absolute havoc here in the US. Russiaās failure was an intelligence failure. Doubly so, because Ukraine is not a terrorist, they are at war with them and should be expected
ChrisInWI (@criscokkat.bsky.social) reply parent
Our anti-drone technology is very expensive per shot. Something like $180k per drone. The cost of said drones being used is probably 2k. The Russians have fairly decent anti-drone technology at this point, they just donāt have the same AWACS tech, and have lost some of their planes that did this.

From what I understand, most of them are deputies from rural counties, or people who had some sort of MP experience in their armed forces, and even some TSA agents. The masks are there because of future employment. Cant identify people who might get ātoo aggressiveā on someoneās iPhone video.

You want to know why Thompson, Tapper, et al. spend their days hassling Dems? Because Dems *care*. Dems react. Dems make them feel like they have agenda-setting power. Dems beg & scrape for their approval. Republicans don't give a shit. Writing about GOP crimes doesn't bring the same ego boost.
