46 I'm not nearly as familiar with IRGC stuff as I am with their Hamas, Houthi, and Hezbollah fuckery. So I'm confused by these evacuations. I'm certain they don't plan on giving up this easily, at this early stage of the game. I'd have expected them to flood *into* Syria and prepare for all-out war, not run away. Morons who *do* understand: what is this that's going on?

51 A panel on theHill was aghast that Tucker would suggest that the left would assassinate Trump. The left is pragmatic and respects rule of law.

Well if you want to buy a lot of chicken, say a hotel, then you call for tenders from chicken tenders hoping the chickens will be tender when bought on tender from chicken tenders.

my best pizza memory from Italy was an asiago, arugula and truffle slice I had in the mountains of Abruzzo.

but I also had a really good "traditional" slice in Nice, France in the Arab quartier

but hopefully you can get some good slices here in the States. I like MOD pizza, not super Italian, more a nouvelle healthy-ish kind of pie.

82 60. Makes sense to me. I'm sure there were a few skinheads who wanted Barky killed. But I hope most conservatives were astute enough to know that the people that promoted Barky from a did nothing senator to POTUS would have just loved having a good martyr figure to advance the commie agenda on the wave of public sympathy and outrage over an assassination of the first 'black' POTUS.

So you had the real pizza napoletana? With or without anchovies? I love anchovies. The best pizza I ate was in the years when I was in Italy and the home-made one my Mum made. I do like the slight yeasty taste and I find the American pizzas lacking that. Do you have a favorite pasta and pasta sauce?

136 So you had the real pizza napoletana? With or without anchovies? I love anchovies. The best pizza I ate was in the years when I was in Italy and the home-made one my Mum made. I do like the slight yeasty taste and I find the American pizzas lacking that. Do you have a favorite pasta and pasta sauce?

Posted by: Ciampino - Good things start with a P

I loved going into the pizza place and picking out a bunch of different slices, square, not triangular. Had pieces with potato for the first time. My favorite was a white slice with spinach and sausage and fresh mozzarella. There was also one with bacon and one with zucchini and the traditional Margarita but with pieces of freah mozzarella. Had one slathered in Ricotta.
When traveling with a 2 year old in tow, pizza became a mainstay.

Puppies are too young to have brisket. Adults are down in the kennel and don't need to know.

213 152 So looks like I might be in the market for a new desktop PC - who do people normally get theirs from?

Over the years we have bought from Cyberpower. All suitable for gaming. Good support from them.

I build my own, my son built his galpal a system yesterday on a 5600G Ryzen APU given she is not a power gamer.

Let me know if you need pointers.

216 SovCits are lunatics. But they want to bring down the FedGov - so, I just root for casualties. Two groups of batshit crazy assholes aiming to kill each other off is of little concern to me.

No; They are not Stalinists and as I have said many times before, if I can have a political conversion and not vote for Barack Obama or any Democrat since him.,other people can have political conversions too.

SCs=Sov Cits?

Yes they are nuts if that is what we are discussing, the Moorish wing of the SovCits is a minimum 50,000 person semi-organized actual insurrectionary group the FBI cannot be bothered to bother with.

Different set of nuts. The Sovereign Citizen looneys.

221 Pheidippides ran the 26 miles from Marathon to Athens, charged into the main square and shouted "Hail to The Victors."

And then he died. And that's where that comes from.

Most likely didn't stretch properly first.

I love how they wear those fezzes. The waiters in hotels in Kenya wore those as well as the Askari (police, blue color).

>>How much money do you want to spend?

If all you want to do is surf the web and and use office apps, then the minimum you need to spend is less than 300 bucks for a renewed HP SFF computer from Amazon.

If you want to game, then you could put together something for around 700 bucks.

231 From the earlier thread -- maybe somebody with time to kill and better eyes than mine might want to take a look, but if the trivia and quotes for her page in imdb can be believed, the girl in the pantomime horse act just might be Virginia Mayo.

235 What are "good" PC specs now? It used to be there were dramatic increases per year but I know that has slowed down now.

Has the same leg shape too.

Good work!!!

237 How much money do you want to spend?

I'm willing to put some money into my PC since I tend to hold on to them for a long time and want it still useful say 4 years down the line.

Probably the most resource intensive games I play are some of the Total War games.

They run somewhat poorly on my current set up, I think because of my video card. I see the recommended specs are

CPU: Intel i5/Ryzen 5 series
RAM: 8 GB
VIDEO CARD: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti/AMD RX 5600-XT

I currently have an I7 with dual 4 GHz and 16 GB ram so that's good but my video card is a GTX 1080 which isn't as good.
