    That gold medal basketball game did not suck.

    Curry was on fire!

    Once defenses get tired, Curry is simply unguardable. Curry in the 4th quarter is just a disgusting display of sharpshooting.

    That fadeaway 3 pointer while double teamed was just sick.

    Even in the NBA most players don't even hit the backboard with that shot, much less swish it.

    I didn’t get to watch the game because I’m OUT PLAYING BASS PROFESSIONALLY AHEM @abneretta

    but after the Serbia game, Curry said he totally understands the Olympics and how big of an accomplishment it is. He went in to this game pumped, I’m sure.

    Today the closing ceremony for the Summer Olympics 2024 take place. Go USA! We came in first. Congrats to all the athletes. It's incredible the things a human can do with talent, training, and determination... And from such a young age. I saw a pic of a young gold medalist complaining about going back to highschool in 2 weeks.

    Yesterday we went to the annual jalapeno pop off. I figured out the cheat code.... Formulate a recipe that is delicious at room temp. Mine seemed soggy when they cooled. I'm not into spicy food but I refused defeat. You had to try some of each submission to vote. I started with half a popper, then a third, then a small bite. There were 15 submissions, and I fuckin did it. Next year I'm coming for that trophy

    One of my favorite things about the Olympics is seeing these races and contests, with absolute smokeshow specimens of human beauty and ability…and then the camera cuts to the parents, who are the most frumpadump stereotypical midwestern mothers.

    This is 100% of the way to go. So many things that people make for parties and such are incredible right out of the oven, or the fridge! Give it 1 - 4 hours in transport and then sitting in a living room getting picked over, and they're sub-par and oftentimes the creator can't really figure out why they weren't hits because they don't last 10 seconds at home.

    Exactly this.

    I have to give credit to my husband. He figured it out and told me that was the deal. Yesterday, he tried mine right out of the oven, and they were fantastic. He later tried them again at the party. The texture was mushy and the filling didn't have much pizazz. I've got a year to figure it out. I'll just keep making them, leaving them out for several hours, and then making my husband eat them.

    He's gonna get food poisoning, isn't he?

    Closing Ceremonies, songs, Her, Phoenix, Chili Peppers, Snoop, Billie Eilish, Tom Cruise, transition to LA was all pretty cool, I thought. I was glad to be able to fast forward some, but still pretty neat.

    Same, i am turning 41 at the end of this year. I have been married for 14 years, together another 4 on top of that. If for some reason i was ever single, it would probably stay that way. I would not go out looking for something, if something happened i wouldn't be opposed to it, but no way in hell i am trying to date in my 40's in what amounts to a 10k pop work camp.

    Who is the jackass who invented scented garbage bags, and who are the morons purposefully buying them? Now instead of the garbage smelling like garbage, it smells like garbage mixed with some weird chemical smell, usually similar to diapers. What is even the point? Even garbage bags not labeled as scented have a weird diaper smell. Time to go buy a gross of contractor bags.

    Went for a hike and ran into a woman on the way down who stopped us to ask questions about the trail.

    Absolutely stunningly beautiful. Like, so beautiful that it was hard to focus on what she was saying - just one of those genetically special people. I'm pretty sure if she has to take a shit in the woods while she's hiking, small woodland creatures bundle it up and carry it away for her while singing.

    After a few minutes of talking to her, her significant other rounds the bend and I swear he was the absolute spitting image of Jon Hamm.

    Mark my words, you are going to see their kids on TV some day.

    My guy, there are three cats and two dogs who live in this house. I fit every stereotype I try so hard to avoid!

    I spent 90% of yesterday doing my biannual rewatch of the extended editions of Lord of the Rings, still got my dishes and laundry done, and went to bed at a decent hour. The kids and I are going to a Turnpike Troubadours, Jason Isbell, and Charles Wesley Godwin concert on Friday. It's our last hurrah before school starts next week.

    I'm living my best life over here and I'm doing my best to overcome feeling like I need a partner to share it with. Again, most of these feelings are due to the fact that I was one of the (again, stereotypical) people whose high school relationship turned out to take up half of their life. I'm thankful that it was a good life that we had together but I'm not great at being single, which I know is my own problem that I need to sort out before I pursue too much else.

    I'll admit my bias here, but my dad makes the best jalapeño poppers I've ever had. They're stupid simple. It's literally just cream cheese in half a jalapeño wrapped in bacon. He smokes them generally, but even in the oven they're delicious.

    I really feel like the more bougie you try to make them the worse they turn out. Granted, there's never been a popper I've turned down ever in my life.

    What I'm saying is, please invite me to be a judge at your next competition!

    This is generally how I do mine but I par cook the bacon a bit first so it has better color/texture coming out of the smoker. I'm not a fan of bacon that looks undercooked.

    The question is, what was the winning recipe from the contest?
