Hundreds of Beavers
Anyone else see this yet? I just got done watching with my kids. One of the strangest movies I've seen, while still being absolutely worth watching. I'm not sure I've ever heard my 9 year old son laugh longer or louder. I'm not even sure it's a kids movie, though. It's sort of a live... -

Bearded Bird
Today I learned that the Bearded Vulture is the only animal whose diet consists almost exclusively of bone. Not to be confused with your mom, also bearded, whose bone diet is supplemented by cheap vodka and Sour Patch Kids. -

Tennessee judge grants injunction against the NCAA (NIL related)
Hadn't seen this posted anywhere yet, but it's a pretty big deal. Effectively the ruling prevents the NCAA from banning third parties from paying athletes to attend a particular school. It's a temporary injunction, but the judge was pretty clear in saying that the NCAA's policy most likely...- Mr Janny

Holiday cooking thread
I know the holidays are often a time for get togethers and big family meals. Hams, rib roasts and the like. Is anyone doing anything special this year? I usually do a prime rib, but our Christmas Day gathering is going to be light hors d'oeuvres and charcuterie this year. So, I thought I'd... -

Bouba and Kiki
Now that realignment is mostly resolved, it's time to get back to what really matters in the off season. If I presented you with the following two shapes, and told you that one of them was named "Bouba" and the other one was "Kiki" which name would you assume each shape belonged with? -
Home addition advice
We moved into our house 4 years ago. And while we love it, the one area that it's lacking is usable outdoor space. We have a deck off of the main floor, but it's uncovered, with no shade, and because we have a walkout basement, the deck is a full story off of the ground. Ultimately, we'd... -
Working on Juneteenth?

What's your favorite hot sauce?
I love a good hot sauce, and I use it for lots and lots of applications. But it has to be more than just heat. It's got to bring some flavor to the table. I'm a big fan of Cholula's products, specifically their chipotle and chili garlic varieties. And the original Huy Fong Sriracha is a... -
Summer thread- Why do so many old college mascots look similar?
Specifically, the grumpy sailor look- Turns out it was one guy, Arthur Evans who went around selling mascot designs to different schools. Some of them are straight carbon copies of others, but many of them stuck to a theme. It's something that I've noticed in the past, but never really...- Mr Janny
