    If it was tough to begin with, the grill was the wrong place for it.

     

    I was taught by an abuelita that you marinate,  braise, then grill goat.  Or marinate and then cook on a spit.   

     

    Unless you cook it buried in a pit.

  2. Very misleading subject line. It suggests not changing people who use firearms to aid in the commission of violent crimes. 

     

    The article seems to be railing against removing the mala prohibita laws, "gunz r bad because we say their bad" garbage that we all know are useless. 

     

     

    I honestly can't argue against either of those points,  other than the race baiting. 

    • Paragraph #1 - A new analysis from the Chicago Appleseed Center for Fair Courts shows that criminalization of firearm possession increases incarceration and fails to reduce gun violence.
    •  
    • Paragraph #2 - The report, Punishing Fear: The Devastating Impacts of the War on Gun Possession in Chicago, confirms what many in marginalized groups have long argued—targeted and racialized policing of gun possession, strict gun laws, and increased investment in surveillance technologies, especially within the city’s Black and Brown communities, fail to address safety concerns and, instead, add to them.

    Poor Jenny, an Irish Catholic girl, would not be able to take communion (I'm exaggerating there to make a point).

     

    Unless something has changed drastically in the RCC they don't receive under both species.  Technically it’s allowed,  but the USCCB directs that the  communicants other than celebrant receive only the Body. 

    Eastern Rite Catholics receive both.  As do Orthodox.  I've not seen pregnant women avoid the Chalice because of their pregnancy,  nor seen them refused due to it.

    The Marine Corps sniper community is seeking honor their community’s fallen via a new war memorial.

    Members of the Marine Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation have a long-term plan, design and are raising the necessary $5 million it will take to build the Marine Scout Sniper War Memorial at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia.

  5. It shouldn't even be on the political table.

     

    "Constitutional rights may not be infringed simply because the majority of the people choose that they be."(Westbrook v. Mihaly 2 C3d 756)
     

    and

    "The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections."

    : Robert H. Jackson, US Supreme Court Justice West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943)

  6. YBYSAIA!  (in reality, no, but I can't afford to buy the drinks :D)

    A bit on that:

    Historical references

    [edit]

    During the 1962 Mercury-Atlas 8 mission (part of the United States space program), astronaut Wally Schirra was asked by ground controller Deke Slayton whether he was a turtle. Not wanting to use vulgar language while his communications were being broadcast worldwide, he temporarily stopped transmitting in order to record the required response.[6][7] Later, on board the recovery ship USS Kearsarge, in front of Slayton, Walt Williams and the other astronauts, Walt Williams demanded to know how Schirra replied to Deke's question. Schirra played the recorder. "Hey, Wally, are you a turtle?" followed by the proper response, "YBYSAIA".[5][8]

    In 1968, on the Apollo 7 mission, during seven telecasts which were the first video broadcasts from a spacecraft, Schirra instead asked Slayton, through the capcom, whether he was a turtle.[6] Slayton in turn also recorded his answer.[6] According to the Apollo 7 mission transcript, he also asked if Paul Haney was a turtle, to which Schirra replied that Haney was buying, not talking.[9] The Smithsonian owns a turtle membership card changed to call the organization the "Interstellar Association of Turtles: Outershell Division" signed by Wally Schirra and TRW employee Gerry Morton.[3]

    President John F. Kennedy was also allegedly asked if he was a Turtle at a press conference, to which he replied, "I'll buy you your drink later".[2][6]

    I'll opt for chalupas or nachos or panchos.

     

    I had to look up "panchos."  They sound like what the Mexican restaurants around here bill as Super Nachos, Nachos Supreme, or Nachos Superior.
