Meijers is what I always called it.
Ope is something that I didn’t even realize other people didn’t say.
I actually didn’t even know it was officially named “Meijer” until about an hour ago. I do enjoy the reporter accusing Biden of pandering (“statement of solidarity!”) for… actually knowing what the store is called?
I’ve also never heard of this “Ope” thing.
Thought I would show off the coolest random thing I own
So in the camp I used to go to there was a “big award” for every discipline. So I won the archery big award. Guy who was the main archery guy, was also my counselor (I did spend pretty much that whole summer at the archery range). Really liked the guy, so dude ended up going over the top for the big award.
So yes I own an archery quiver made from bark, with a leather strap that is a well painted Chuck Meister

It’s a well known phenomenon that people add s to the end of stores with proper names, especially grocery stores.
I just watched the first episode of this and I gotta give props to anybody who brings up Discordianism, but uh this thing is just a shaggy dog story, right?
Btw thanks to whomever introduced me to Robert Sapolsky. This podcast was incredible, as has been everything I’ve listened to with Sapolsky in it.
My covid project is walking all the interesting neighborhoods in LA (starting near me and working my way outward) while listening to podcasts. Since the Chiefs podcasts aren’t as fun anymore - listening to Saposky’s entire canon will keep me going for a long time.

KInd of, yeah. It’s not that he assembles compelling arguments for concrete conclusions (he massively overstates individual psychological motivations in world-historical events, for example) so much as that he digs up interesting ways of looking at things, finds odd and interesting footage and so on.
He’s become more ambitious in scope over time and his later work may not be the best introduction, but I hesitate to recommend the earlier stuff because it’s mostly available in pretty poor visual quality as his stuff is never released on home viewing formats because of rights issues. So it’s a lot of stuff taped off the TV in 1998 and uploaded years later.
He used to interview people as part of his projects, for example, but that’s not really feasible given his subjects now, so it’s just wall-to-wall riffing over the footage (he re-used some old interview footage for this one, though).
Thanks for the Sapolsky links. Really good stuff. I find it useful to listen to this stuff for many reasons but most importantly as a reminder that feeling bad doesn’t make me bad.

He’s a treasure. Did you finish his course on human behavioral biology?

A lot of co-op games can be played with 2 players each playing 2 characters - wife and I play a lot of Arkham Horror this way.

I may have just found a condiment that I could barely get down:
I bought it because I had a $2 off coupon. Any sauce I put in my food I’m willing to taste straight out of the bottle.
The sauce tasted like I licked garlic powder off my hand, did a shot of white vinegar, and then bit into a lemon. There was no melding of the flavors. I then poured a little bit on top of a cooked piece of chicken in a roll and it was just as nasty.
Unless the sauce has to be heated to be edible, I can’t imagine who would like this.

Sounds like something my Asian gf would love.
No idea who this is but he sure needs a good smack on the head.

Consistently one of the worst people on Twitter. Part of the Uk transphobic crew who have made that their entire identity.
Think he was on the IT show or some other British show before getting online brain worms.
That is an extremely punchable face - even with the glasses.
Is it just this particular peri peri sauce? Have you had others that you have liked?
If you’ve never been before and the opportunity arises, check out a Nando’s. Their peri peri chicken is quite good. If there was one where I lived, I’d go often.
No he’s in his 50s. Forgot he was permanently banned from Twitter for being an ass.
