Cool Sunday morning means slub debut. Then I’ll have to shed when it warms up.

Howdy!

I’m over the moon to have found a wabby chore coat after Wabbidashery tour induced FOMO. I was concerned the Large of the sample wouldn’t fit like the XL of the Wabbidashery but it’s perfect. Thank you Iron Heart and Outlet. And the chocolate and card are also much appreciated.

Big week for Hattie. First cinema experience (Moana 2) and first ballet (The Nutcracker). Wore my IH cords, A&A sweater, RMC USN 1913 peacoat. She made it through but it couldn’t have been a minute longer. Should get easier each year!

Hey bros!

Beautiful day for 18oz vintage denim and jailhouse work shirts

And family.

A summer of sandals and shorts started showing signs of subsiding.

In past summers I powered through in somewhat heavy garments, so it feels good to finally have some jeans on again.

Dune not try that again

My UnTucked lined with my IH indigo dipped hoodie has become a favorite. Today over an IH 9oz indigo flannel and IH 7.5oz LS tee with IHxViberg smokejumpers in copper task.

Lovely day’

I love hickory stripes and duck together.

Aikman, a QB, said “oh, cmon!” He probably could have played 5 more years if he’d been similarly coddled, and I can’t picture him flopping. With how bad he used to get hammered it has to be frustrating to see the likes of Mahomes and to a lesser extent Allen hacking the game in this way.

Meanwhile, the likes of your Jacksons, Burrows, Goffs, etc continue to get hammered by defenders without flags.

I get that it’s important to protect the QB and the quality of the game and its ratings go down when key players are hurt. But the league is failing to navigate that challenge right now in a reasonable, equitable way.

Just want the game called fairly and consistently even if there are rules I disagree with.

@Mizmazzle said in American Football (NFL):

@Jett129 yeah, Aikmen went on about it quite a bit. I respected Mahomes a lot more when he just let his skill do the talking. I feel like the last 2-3 seasons he has grown to just expect being treated like a flag should be thrown for anything that doesn’t go his way.

I feel exactly the same, and I feel like this is a vicious cycle where the refs reward and reinforce these kinds of shenanigans. It’s not going to improve without corrective actions, because it’s working and they’re winning.

What a great game. Detroit couldn’t overcome their injuries on D in the end. The division went from record-breaking regular season strength and sending 3 teams to the playoffs to nary a single postseason win. Didn’t expect that.

And the other game was the same old shit. An undisciplined Texans team that constantly shoots itself in the foot, and two critical and obviously bogus (and unreviewable) Chiefs bailouts translating into 10 unearned points.

Rant: And then Mahomes trying to flop to get a call was at least the second such display by him this season, taking advantage of rules designed to protect him. This needs to fall under unsportsmanlike conduct and/or they need to add a foul for embellishment like the NHL. One of these days a defender will say to himself “in for a penny, in for a pound” and obliterate him when he does a sideline ropeadope or similar bitch move. The NFL does not need to turn into the NBA or soccer with foul-baiting and flops; and making a mockery of player safety rules is going to get someone hurt.

That said, still looking forward to today’s games!

Carne adobada, frijoles charros, Spanish rice.

Gotta make your chili powders fresh for the best results.

Omg the Diddy as Deshaun thing is hilarious.

Ah man Filthy always slept in his. I very rarely do it myself, usually with the rationale of wearing em in/out.

@Chap if it was 2024 I didn’t see it. If it was 2023

If there are any international restrictions or other issues getting a copy lmk, I’d be happy to help you and G get a copy!

@Giles “chile” is how New Mexicans and Coloradans spell a green chili based on Anaheim-like chilis that grow out here. Yes it is confusing.

Torture indeed. Ya gotta move as quickly as you can between extremes and a plunge ain’t a plunge unless you submerge your head, which very few people do at the club. It feels like a bellows is violently pulling all the air out of your lungs to do the plunge. It is not comfortable. Then you kind of stabilize a bit and I personally try to count breaths to distract from the discomfort.

Then jumping into the hot tub it feels cold for a while and like tiny needles are poking your neurons.

Consult your doctor etc but I love it.

Yeah rock and roll is a very specific genre mostly from the 40s and 50s that seeded a number of genres.

Rock Music as a genre would incorporate things like rockabilly, R&B, hard rock, metal, etc. it’s just not an accurate name and indicative that these aren’t really serious music people regardless of being serious music industry people. However how do you handle Run DMC and Aerosmith or Anthrax and Public Enemy or Herbie Hancock Rockit under that banner? My answer is you don’t. You call it popular music and then you include the mainstream popular artists of the time regardless of genre.

I completely agree that it is difficult to determine the boundaries of genres, which is one reason why I think it was stupid for them to attach a narrow genre to the project. Also, probably hard to believe based on what I’ve said here, I don’t think genre is really important in terms of labeling things. I do think the traditions underlying musical genres are important and to be preserved. I love artists who confound genre and can incorporate various genres seamlessly, or even distinctly, into what they do.

My issue is being perhaps too particular about semantics. I like truth in advertising.

@Giles that looks great!

Mine is very ghetto but a good quick fix. Make a stock from leftover rotisserie chicken carcasses, pull the meat from another rotisserie chicken (both chickens purchased cooked), and I use canned beans, chilis, tomatillo, etc. one day in theory I’d like to try doing it the “right” way with fewer off the shelf components but it’s good enough doing it the lazy way

for whatever reason I am much more particular and labor intensive about every other chili and chile I make (red Texas beef, green pork chile stew, chili verde which weirdly isn’t the same thing as chile, carne adobada, and chile Colorado).
