Welcome to the DBD, a W4C community board where one can talk about pretty much anything, like…
Ginger is a member of the Zingiberaceae family, which also includes turmeric, galangal, cardamom, Thai Ginger, ginger lily, summer tulip, shell ginger, torch ginger, malagueta pepper, myoga, korarima, and globba. They often have beautiful flowers.
As I'm the first one here I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone. I hope your time on the DBD today is fruitful. Also, please join the Weekend DBD co-hosted By Psychotic Oski and Kathmandu Bear.
i dont love chunky ginger, but it is a good thing while cooking when it is grated up or diced finely.
i dont mind the ginger you get w/ sushi. but i only have a little. not a giant pile like other people that i regularly eat sushi with ie wife and kids.
as much as the people are doing their job in tracking down this stuff, i am not sure it makes a difference in upcoming election.
the other Republicans that are running have to be willing to go after him on these things, but it is not clear that they are willing to do so. perhaps they are just hoping Trump will unravel himself enough ...
Who would you prefer running your favorite sports franchise: Arte Moreno or Jim Knowlton? I have the great fortune having both running two of my favorite orgs. Good times.
i was at a tennis lesson yesterday w/ my newly found Cal grad instructor. overall good.
when he found i studied physics, every tennis analogy and instruction started having something to do w/ his medium-well-informed view of how things work.
sometimes it would be reasonable stuff about top spin creating pressure differences and causing the ball to dip down. other times it was a bit of a stretch just trying to find some excuse to use F=ma but not it a way that made any sense.
i appreciate that he was trying to connect w/ me and be friendly and nice. on the other hand i didnt spend any time correcting anything about what he said. just tried to keep in mind that he was trying to teach me tennis AND have a fun conversation at the same time.
Elsewhere in college
Pac-20

Pac-12 with only Oregon State and Wazzu left from the original Pac-10
why is the Cal-UCLA reason to stay together any different than UW-WSU or OU-OSU?
i cant imagine that WSU and OSU get less people to show up to their games than Cal??!!
Nothing says Pacific Coast like South Florida, unless it's Tulsa, Oklahoma.

I don't like ginger. Especially hate it when I bite into a chunk in food.
you are dumb as hell

Grated or diced is fine. I guess it's when I bite into a chunk that I hate.
I don't like the sushi ginger either. I just let others take them.
I will eat all your sushi ginger.
DBD AV Club
Finished The Offer…a must see for fans of The Godfather…great stuff.
YES! We watched when it came out - loved that show, well acted.
Working through Jury Duty. A whole fake trial with actors except for one juror who thinks it's real. Pretty good so far.
I loved it.
I'm in the middle of episode 6. Can't wait to finish it.
got a couple of friends finally watching it. want them to finish to that I can dissect it with them

Trump indicted in new charges related to him telling his people to destroy evidence at Mar a Lago. The indictment reads like an sequel to Idiocracy

Ohtani throws a 1-hitter CGSO in the first game and goes 2-3 with 2 HRs in the 2nd game.
Who would you prefer running your favorite sports franchise: Arte Moreno or Jim Knowlton? I have the great fortune having both running two of my favorite orgs. Good times.
I kind of like the Giolito trade though. Only way Shohei stays is if you put together a contender this year so why not take a swing?
Cause they have the worst farm system in the game and if Ohtani leaves they have no chance of a competitive present or foreseeable future.
Man, that first inning in St Louis for the Cards v the Cubs…the umpires are seriously out of control.
Yeah but fuck the fucking Cardinals.
Texas BBQ
thinking of going here for dinner tonight (in College Park MD)
#1 in The Washington Post's: Best BBQ Joint in the DC Area List 2022
Hand crafted, Wood smoked BBQ joint ..
