Yup. I do. It's pretty much the only brand that Costco sells. Don't think I'll ditch it right now, but when I do go to replace it, do you have any recommendations, @Axtremus ? I'm in the low use category, internet speeds of less than 400 Mbps, streaming maybe one or two devices at a time, no gaming or other heavy use...and even though the router is in the basement I get an excellent signal on both the first and second floors of our house. I think I had Netgear before and have generally been much happier with the TP-Link.

@AdagioM No, it isn't. And the price per pound is clearly a mistake too. Somebody in the fish department was having an off day...

Emerson College poll. The second question, about possible Jan 6 pardons by Trump, is interesting.... Voters were asked if they supported or opposed President Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter. A majority (52%) oppose, 28% support the decision, and 19% are unsure. Voters were also asked if they would support President-elect Trump’s issuing of pardons to people involved in the events of January 6; 50% oppose, 34% support, and 16% are neutral. https://emersoncollegepolling.com/december-2024-national-poll-young-voters-diverge-from-majority-on-crypto-tiktok-and-ceo-assassination/

Had a Welsh terrier that would toss them up in the air and swallow them when they came down, but she was much larger than a vole at 20 lbs.

Gonzo piano!!

We only have one black spatula. I’m sure it’s worth no more than 99 cents. I will not mind chucking it and buying a non-black one for 99 cents.

It's amazing how many of our holiday traditions are reflected in the foods we prepare.... @Steve-Miller - I was thinking about putting the hard sauce on after I heated the pudding. Not sure if pouring some alcohol on and flaming it would be too much.

@wtg said in School shooting in Madison, WI: A second grader at Abundant Life Christian School called 911 to report the shooting Monday, Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes told reporters. “Let that soak in for a minute,” he said at the news conference. “A second grade student called 911 at 10:57 a.m to report a shooting at school.” Chief corrected himself in today's press conference. It was a second grade teacher, not student, who made the call.

Fetterman's looking promising there. He seems unafraid to say the emperor is naked. The irony is not lost given his sartorial splendor.

@ShiroKuro so true. A couple weeks ago we went to a holiday champagne tasting at my favorite wine merchant. A nice event, date-worthy. There was a couple at the next table. The woman looked very alone. The guy with her was looking at this phone the whole time. i don't think he said three words to her in three hours. I damn near asked her to join us, but I figured that would start a fight and ruin our outing.

Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes? It's not my fault the NYPD released conflicting evidence. Steve, we've posted at these fora for the better part of two decades. I don't know what to tell you if me speaking my mind makes you discontent.

Welcome to the world of Ohio politics. Hopelessly corrupt with a side of incompetence.

It is indeed! As an aside, finding good socks seems to be increasingly challenging.

Cuisinart. Toaster, oven, convection oven, and air fryer

@wtg That’s the series I’ve been watching. Thinking I may try one recipe per week.

Saw it in 3D from the wheelchair row with mom-in-law over Thanksgiving weekend. Loved it! I haven’t seen the musical, so it was all new to me. But I did catch the wink cameos of Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel. Only because I used to watch Glee. I loved the singing, Cynthia Erivo especially.

Yeah, ours too!

One small detail - I don't see much smoke coming from those stacks. One looks to be primarily condensing steam in the cold air and the other looks like a flare stack with a giant plume of flame. I'm as much a friend of the EPA as anyone, but it's important to know what you're dealing with. All that being said, I like the star they put up. We also have a star with lights that I made for my wife many years ago that we display in a field below the fence row adjacent to our house each Christmas. It's visible to the main road in our area from that location. Big Al
