I was talking to a running acquaintance recently and he said he'd paid $275 apiece for a couple pairs of Flyknit shoes. I still run 45-50 miles a week but don't race anymore so can't see paying that much far shoes. Not that I would have paid that much even when I did race.
As Diamond Donnie Azoff said while playing beer pong on the pool table in the Hamptons, high on 'ludes...."Steeeeeeeeeevvve Maaaaaaddddddeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnn"
Haven't worn them much the last year (my slip-on elasto-strap sketchers have been primary), but with the rain hitting the Bay this week, will be wearing the Vessi more.
Nike. Always thought they had the most comfortable shoes. I would basically only buy hightops and trainers. On the advice of No 1, I bought a pair of Adidas Ultraboost 4. They are super comfortable.
Utahraptor, which is a cousin to the Velociraptor. Velociraptors are actually the size of a medium turkey, including feathers. Utahraptors - like all "dromaeosaurs" were feathered but had too small of a chest muscle to actively fly. They likely used strong legs to climb/run/leap and its feathers to redirect/pounce on prey from above, which would have been terrifying for something bigger than a Clydesdale horse that had a scythe toe, kitchen knives for fingers, and a giant mouth full of carnivore's teeth.
you see cugel for many of us the dinosaurs existed long before we did and so having a order or set of favorite dinosaurs was a very common thing and i see how as a timeless being who was aged when the dinosaurs sprung forth
My kids have been watching a lot of Dinosaur Train on PBS kids lately. Based on the the dinosaurs I’ve seen on the show, I’m going with the Stegosaurus.
I think my (just) 6-yo watched Dana for the first time a year or two ago. (I think pre-covid, which would be ~2 yrs). so maybe your 3-yo might be into it?
Saw a talk a while back from paleontologist Jack Horner who criticizes a lot of egotistical people in his field for claiming juvenile dinos are different species
somehow those battle scenes between a t-rex and the stegosaurus always intrigued me. it seemed that with the spikey tail and the full body armor it was well poised to defend itself.
Technically a T-Rex and a Stegosaurus couldn't have met each other. T-Rex lived in the Cretaceous period, Stego in the Jurassic. (But there were other large T-Rex like predators that Stegosaurus could have faced.)
Lightning has twice hit a tree when I was across the road from it. It is so loud and violent that I nearly jumped out of my skin. The trees exploded... One was about 60 feet tall, fell across the street, and hit the rain awning of the driveway rather than smooshing the stunned delivery driver who stood there dumbfounded, amongst giant branches all around him, with his lunch packet in his hand and a mouth full of half chewed food. He couldn't believe that a concrete ledge saved his life.
I had an event that hosted George Karl (the NBA basketball coach) in Hong Kong and he went to play golf on his day off and was affected by lightning (it hit NEAR him and he got pretty shocked)
i have seen four or five movies in theaters since they reopened and the issue remains that good theater experiences are great and bad theater experiences are terrible but you have zero control over good and bad
No 1 got No 3 and me to watch Green Knight in the Rheem Theater. I knew nothing of the movie. Was interesting.
I didn't end up watching Furious 9 in the theater. The next movie I'm for sure going to watch in the theater is Top Gun 2. Probably IMAX. Don't really have a desire to watch anything else in the theater right now.
Michael Keaton, Rosario Dawson, Peter Sarsgaard, Rothstein from Boardwalk Empire & the King from the Bud Light knight ads are all really good in DopeSick...quality Hulu show on Purdue Pharma's pushing of Oxy....damn that Sackler family
It is good to be a rich, American cartel family. You get all the wealth of pushing highly addictive drugs and none of the risks of being killed by a rival cartel or being arrested and jailed.
Succotash a la SG Bear. I've done perhaps a 100 different versions of it. It starts with fresh mirepoix or sofrito in a big ass pan. Fry a small amount of a diced fatty meat source - sausage, bacon, fat from carnitas, or something like that. Add a combination of frozen vegetables - but always include corn and some sort of legume. Then you can add any spice you want - go caribbean spice, cajun, some sort of Asian, west African, Greek... doesn't matter - but stick to a theme. Moisten with a half of cup of stock - doesn't matter what type - and a tablespoon of tomato paste. Super flexible, fast, cheap, easy, and relatively healthy as an alternative to always having the same veggies for dinner over and over.
I'd say it's probably still healthier than cow – on aggregate, since not everyone on the planet can eat grain fed over pasture cow – but there's a lot of "stuff" in there. a garden burger is likely healthier, altho less burger-y
I need to get some impossible burgers so I can do a taste test. Which do you think make better burgers? I buy BB at Costco and have seen they have 1 lb chunks of Impossible meat.
tbh, I don't really know. I've not done an A-B. Usually it's IB at restaurants and BB at home. the downside of BB is that after frying in a pan, the house has a kinda rank meat-y smell.
they are greasier than something like a garden burger, but they are more "real" tasting (and feeling and looking).
if you do the A-B, I'd be interested in hearing the results.
i am a proponent of chopped up Brussel sprout leaves that are lightly fried and mixed with pecorino cheese and golden raisins. Shit is life changing, yo
I blame it on the Great Depression and WWII rationing. Food and ingredients were scarce due to unemployment and then the war effort. People didn’t have access to a bunch of ingredients so they did the best they could, which often meant boiling.
Brussels sprouts are a cultivar group of the same species as broccoli, cabbage, collard greens, kale, and kohlrabi; they are cruciferous (they belong to the family Brassicaceae; old name Cruciferae). Many cultivars are available; some are purple in color, such as 'Ruby Crunch' or 'Red Bull'.[4] The purple varieties are hybrids between purple cabbage and regular green Brussels sprouts developed by a Dutch botanist in the 1940s, yielding a variety with some of the red cabbage's purple colors and greater sweetness.[5] In the 1990s, Dutch scientist Hans van Doorn identified the chemicals that make Brussels sprouts bitter. This enabled Dutch seed companies to cross-breed archived low-bitterness varieties with modern high-yield varieties, over time producing a significant increase in the popularity of the vegetable.[6]
Colin Powell, Who Shaped U.S. National Security, Dies at 84
A former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, secretary of state and national security adviser, Mr. Powell died on Monday of complications of Covid-19, his family said.
my wife said the she heard/saw him live at a Pfizer zoom thing just a few weeks ago and he was alive and well and had big plans for inspiring underprivileged black kids.
They said on CNN that he was also suffering from a form of cancer that affects the immune system (sorry, I can't give you the name) that, combined with the cancer therapy itself, virtually destroyed his immune system.
Notwithstanding the intelligence failure in Iraq, I always admired him as being a person that any child could look up to. Hard-working, intelligent, patriotic (as in he really loved his country, not the kind of toxic "patriotism" that extremists like to spew), and just a relatable human being.
The Dodgers pushed in all their chips in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series, and it blew up in their face. The Braves walked off Los Angeles in the ninth inning for a second straight night, this time a 5-4 comeback win that put Atlanta up 2-0 in the NLCS for a second straight year.
Eddie Rosario delivered the game-winning single on Sunday, a rocket off a shifted Corey Seager’s glove that scored Dansby Swanson, but the train was careening off the track an inning earlier.
“You can’t be afraid to fail,” manager Dave Roberts said before Game 2. “Careful doesn’t play in the postseason.”
Like saying Urías isn't used to pitching in relief this season unlike last season. Which was wrong. He started all last season until the playoffs where he had 2-3 relief appearances.
The AD has called a mandatory, all-hands meeting with all the players, managers, student staffers, etc. for 5:30 PM this afternoon to discuss Coach Rolovich's future with the team.
It does not seem likely that it's to announce that the document signed today is a 3 year contract extension.
Wazzu journos also noting weekly AD communique did not go out yesterday and again today nothing sent to the press regarding this week's practice schedule and media availability.
The problem is that the camera angle in the clip means that the ball is covered by the receiver's back as he goes down to the ground. It's close, to be sure, but I think a case can be made that the spot should have been short of the line to gain.
I honestly was heartened by the game this weekend. I mean the way we lost was absolutely crushing, but I saw some life out of the team which I didn't vs. WSU.
what is sad is that if the team was better coached and made 1-3 more "plays" per game, they could be 5-1. Only WSU was the true turd of the season. They have been in all the other ones
Player performance always an issue too, but I thought that blitz was pretty predictable and we called a play that required the O-line to hold up against it for any chance of success. Not great.
Favorite shoe brand
耐克
Nike, especially the Flyknit running shoes which is just a thin piece of fabric and a sole
I was intrigued to see that all the top Olympic marathon runners were wearing Nike Alphafly or Vaporfly.
I was talking to a running acquaintance recently and he said he'd paid $275 apiece for a couple pairs of Flyknit shoes. I still run 45-50 miles a week but don't race anymore so can't see paying that much far shoes. Not that I would have paid that much even when I did race.
I think it makes sense if you're really tryin to PB or competing in races - my friend cut 3 minutes off his half marathon time.
Unfortunately I'm about thirty years past my PBs. Maybe if I ever get serious about age group competing, but that seems unlikely.
As Diamond Donnie Azoff said while playing beer pong on the pool table in the Hamptons, high on 'ludes...."Steeeeeeeeeevvve Maaaaaaddddddeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnn"
Just bought my first pair of Skechers sneakers and I love them! Very, very light shoes and really comfortable.
I got a couple of pairs of these last year (+ 1 Covid year = two years ago).
https://vessi.com
Haven't worn them much the last year (my slip-on elasto-strap sketchers have been primary), but with the rain hitting the Bay this week, will be wearing the Vessi more.
Keen. Walking shoes I picked up at The Walk Shop on Vine st.
Nike. Always thought they had the most comfortable shoes. I would basically only buy hightops and trainers. On the advice of No 1, I bought a pair of Adidas Ultraboost 4. They are super comfortable.
outdoorsy stuff - Salomon
dress up - John Fluevog
i have only one pair of shoes/boots by them but they are great. it seemed absurd at the time to pay as much as i did for them.
it has their iconic Angel soles that have angels on the bottom and say this ..
These Angelic soles resist alkali, water, acid, fatigue and Satan

What is your second favorite dinosaur?
Utahraptor, which is a cousin to the Velociraptor. Velociraptors are actually the size of a medium turkey, including feathers. Utahraptors - like all "dromaeosaurs" were feathered but had too small of a chest muscle to actively fly. They likely used strong legs to climb/run/leap and its feathers to redirect/pounce on prey from above, which would have been terrifying for something bigger than a Clydesdale horse that had a scythe toe, kitchen knives for fingers, and a giant mouth full of carnivore's teeth.
Ankylosaurous
Anklyosaurus - cool spiked club on the end of its tail...
I don't even have a number one favorite dinosaur.
Deinonychus -- that's what the Raptors shown in the Jurassic Park movies actually were. Super scary, intelligent hunters.
Clever Girl...
What an odd question
you see cugel for many of us the dinosaurs existed long before we did and so having a order or set of favorite dinosaurs was a very common thing and i see how as a timeless being who was aged when the dinosaurs sprung forth
this is too much of a stretch, man
is that what you said as you saw giraffes evolving longer and longer necks
Just because you were able to see the dinosaurs that all of us have been told stories about doesn't mean it's a stretch...
yeah, I *think* I've seen a lot of "favorite" dinosaur answers. 2nd fave is tough.
For my 6-yo daughter, pachycephhlosaurus seems to be #1 these days, to triceratops I guess is #2.
My kids have been watching a lot of Dinosaur Train on PBS kids lately. Based on the the dinosaurs I’ve seen on the show, I’m going with the Stegosaurus.
Not sure their ages, but do they watch Dino Dana? (there's also a Dino Dan, but haven't seen that)
They are 3 and 1. Haven’t watched Dino Dana or Dino Dan.
My 3 year old likes it for the dinosaurs and my 1 year old likes it for the train.
I think my (just) 6-yo watched Dana for the first time a year or two ago. (I think pre-covid, which would be ~2 yrs). so maybe your 3-yo might be into it?
Pachycephalosaurus - The headbutting dino.
A UC Berkeley paleontologist had the distinction of UNdiscovering two different pachycephalosaurs.
https://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2009/10/30_dino_demise.shtml
Saw a talk a while back from paleontologist Jack Horner who criticizes a lot of egotistical people in his field for claiming juvenile dinos are different species
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQa11RMCeSI
i mean that seems like a universal thing that the juveniles are like a different species am i right
Terius Gray should be the authority on that, being the Juvenile and having a birth name that sounds dinosaur-like.
stegosaurus.
somehow those battle scenes between a t-rex and the stegosaurus always intrigued me. it seemed that with the spikey tail and the full body armor it was well poised to defend itself.
Technically a T-Rex and a Stegosaurus couldn't have met each other. T-Rex lived in the Cretaceous period, Stego in the Jurassic. (But there were other large T-Rex like predators that Stegosaurus could have faced.)
a t-rex lived closer in time to us than they did to a stegosaurus
Plus, they could meet at Jurassic Park.
Lightning
Lightning has twice hit a tree when I was across the road from it. It is so loud and violent that I nearly jumped out of my skin. The trees exploded... One was about 60 feet tall, fell across the street, and hit the rain awning of the driveway rather than smooshing the stunned delivery driver who stood there dumbfounded, amongst giant branches all around him, with his lunch packet in his hand and a mouth full of half chewed food. He couldn't believe that a concrete ledge saved his life.
I had an event that hosted George Karl (the NBA basketball coach) in Hong Kong and he went to play golf on his day off and was affected by lightning (it hit NEAR him and he got pretty shocked)
our most recent encounter was on a hike to Mt Washington, notorious for the "worlds worst weather"
as we were descending from the summit down to the Lake of the Clouds Hut (only about 1.5 mi) we go caught in a rain/lighting/hail storm.
luckily the lightning was not right on top of us and while it looked and sounded a little scary, we were in no immediate danger.
we were appropriately soaked when we go to the hut except for backpacks and upper body.

FEAR IS THE MIND KILLER
seeing it at the IMAX on Friday. Much excite
Nobody in my family (besides me) really wants to go back in a theater.
why? The experience is soooooooooooooooo much better, especially for certain films like this one. The visuals will be overwhelming at an IMAX
Don't argue with me! I agree - them: people talking, can't pause and go to the bathroom blah, blah, blah...
i have seen four or five movies in theaters since they reopened and the issue remains that good theater experiences are great and bad theater experiences are terrible but you have zero control over good and bad
Does the rest of the family not want to go back in the theater because of Covid, or they're just happy watching movies at home?
No 1 got No 3 and me to watch Green Knight in the Rheem Theater. I knew nothing of the movie. Was interesting.
I didn't end up watching Furious 9 in the theater. The next movie I'm for sure going to watch in the theater is Top Gun 2. Probably IMAX. Don't really have a desire to watch anything else in the theater right now.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me…
i saw that some people in Europe saw it this weekend already.

Fry a small amount of a diced fatty meat source - sausage, bacon, fat from carnitas, or something like that. Add a combination of frozen vegetables - but always include corn and some sort of legume.

beyond burgers on the grill
not that exciting as good food goes, but was pretty decent. made regular burgers on the BGE for the kids.
trying not to eat land meats for 6 months to see if my cholesterol gets to acceptable levels.
Beyond isn't really healthier . . .it's just better for the environment (which is still a reason to eat it)
I'd say it's probably still healthier than cow – on aggregate, since not everyone on the planet can eat grain fed over pasture cow – but there's a lot of "stuff" in there. a garden burger is likely healthier, altho less burger-y
I like that approach, HSB...I'm gonna follow your lead & try to cut the land meats too.
still been having eggs and fish.
switched for non-dairy things like almond and oat milk.
not having cheese is the hardest. not having a morning pastry w/ coffee is not great, but manageable.
if everyone does that, then I'll have to spend more time in the Test Kitchen thread!
as a long-time veggie, BB is a good grill alternative. and impossible burgers at restaurants. sometimes they feel a bit too meat-like.
I need to get some impossible burgers so I can do a taste test. Which do you think make better burgers? I buy BB at Costco and have seen they have 1 lb chunks of Impossible meat.
tbh, I don't really know. I've not done an A-B. Usually it's IB at restaurants and BB at home. the downside of BB is that after frying in a pan, the house has a kinda rank meat-y smell.
they are greasier than something like a garden burger, but they are more "real" tasting (and feeling and looking).
if you do the A-B, I'd be interested in hearing the results.
also had
- Trader Joe's no-meat sausages >> just ok, not good. going to have to try some alternate incarnations.
- some vegan mozzarella cheese >> disaster
I like the BB breakfast patties.
vegan cheese: I've never had anything that wasn't disgusting.
No 1 says the Beyond Burger meatballs and sausages are really good.
I do like the Beyond Burger burgers. I've made them at home.
will check those out. decent meatballs and sausages would be good because w/ tomato sauce and pasta is a staple food around here
I learned yesterday that IKEA sells veggie balls. I haven't tried them, but if you do, please report back!
I've had them a few times...they're "fine". but not having had the meatballs, I can't compare.
we had those IKEA ones. not that great. tastes like mush.
stick w/ the Swedish meatballs and lingonberry jam.
Roasted brussel sprouts with gruyere cheese, bacon and shallots in a white sauce or roux, accompanied by garlic artichoke sausages...
i am a proponent of chopped up Brussel sprout leaves that are lightly fried and mixed with pecorino cheese and golden raisins. Shit is life changing, yo
Growing up, brussels were the devil...Ma and Nana would just boil the hell out of them.
Now, I f-ing love them roasted with oil and bacon...
How the hell did the previous generations F that up so?
Browning (caramelizing) veggies pretty much makes them candy. I like to remind friends of this when they think they're eating healthy.
I blame it on the Great Depression and WWII rationing. Food and ingredients were scarce due to unemployment and then the war effort. People didn’t have access to a bunch of ingredients so they did the best they could, which often meant boiling.

Heh, I wonder if all those idiots who are concerned by GMOs realize that why they are so tasty now is because they've been genetically modified.
Uh... all the brussel sprouts we eat now are a completely different variety than in the past, I think from some time in the 80's

Dodgers’ win-now gambit doesn’t win Game 2, might have consequences later
https://www.truebluela.com/2021/10/17/22731621/dodgers-moves-backfired-julio-urias-max-scherzer-nlcs-game-2
The Dodgers pushed in all their chips in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series, and it blew up in their face. The Braves walked off Los Angeles in the ninth inning for a second straight night, this time a 5-4 comeback win that put Atlanta up 2-0 in the NLCS for a second straight year.
Eddie Rosario delivered the game-winning single on Sunday, a rocket off a shifted Corey Seager’s glove that scored Dansby Swanson, but the train was careening off the track an inning earlier.
“You can’t be afraid to fail,” manager Dave Roberts said before Game 2. “Careful doesn’t play in the postseason.”
The first game where Dave Roberts has had some questionable moves. I'm not sure I would've brought in Urías this year.
Also the TBS announcers have been pretty bad all offseason. Some of their analysis has just been plain wrong.
Like saying Urías isn't used to pitching in relief this season unlike last season. Which was wrong. He started all last season until the playoffs where he had 2-3 relief appearances.

Disagree.
The problem is that the camera angle in the clip means that the ball is covered by the receiver's back as he goes down to the ground. It's close, to be sure, but I think a case can be made that the spot should have been short of the line to gain.

Cal
I honestly was heartened by the game this weekend. I mean the way we lost was absolutely crushing, but I saw some life out of the team which I didn't vs. WSU.
Year 5 and the bright spot for the season and an argument to keep Wilcox another year is “we were 3 yards away from taking Oregon for OT”.
Wouldn't go that far. What it will do is get me to watch the next game.
Where did I write that?
Sorry, not so much directed at you and more just old man yelling at cloud type moment.
I am amiable to one more year of Wilcox, but I always tend to be a give 'em more rope kind of guy.
what is sad is that if the team was better coached and made 1-3 more "plays" per game, they could be 5-1. Only WSU was the true turd of the season. They have been in all the other ones
if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike
It can't be lost that we were 2 yards away from tying the game in the 4th quarter AT AUTZEN.
It can’t be lost that we are now 1-5 in year 5 with Wilcox. That’s what can’t be lost by fans and the AD.
and 2 yards away from possibly winning in Ft Worth
And 2 yards away from possibly winning in Seattle.
Cal Football: Dead at the 2 yard line
IMO our playcalling doesn't help. Not much misdirection in those sequences.
well, the ole by the oline on that blitz was pretty brutal
Player performance always an issue too, but I thought that blitz was pretty predictable and we called a play that required the O-line to hold up against it for any chance of success. Not great.
I can't wait to see the ratings for this week's game.
Yep. I have expounded on this in Nick's write-up above.
