@RayQuantia @CmMusic68 @Shanahan81526 @CherokeeOwlBkup A lot of places use a different brine for corned beef.
English

@CmMusic68 @Shanahan81526 @CherokeeOwlBkup I guess, but again, this restaurant said nothing about doing anything different between the pastrami and corned beef, other than how it's cooked. Anyway.
English

@RayQuantia @Shanahan81526 @CherokeeOwlBkup You use the same brine but then you need to put it in clean water and leech some of the salt out before cooking. The heavy salt is part of the brining process but you don’t want that level of salt in the final product.
English

@Shanahan81526 @CherokeeOwlBkup I figured, but these guys say they use the same brine for both.
English

@RayQuantia @CherokeeOwlBkup Because of the brine. I sometimes get a corned beef and soak it in cold water a few times. Then season with pepper and othe spices but no salt and smoke it.

@VictoriaZeev @elonmusk You're right.

@elonmusk A tense encounter doesn’t tell the whole story turning one incident into a sweeping narrative just fuels division instead of understanding

@archeohistories That they can't seem to leave their ghetto mentality off the floor, and maintain some professionalism when they actually are off the floor makes it a hard sport to watch or enjoy.

For years, the reality of women’s professional basketball lived in a contradiction: world-class athletes, global stars, and elite competition—paired with salaries that didn’t come close to reflecting that level of excellence.
That’s what makes this moment feel so different.
The WNBA and its players association have reached a historic 7-year collective bargaining agreement beginning in 2026—and it doesn’t just nudge the system forward. It forces it to evolve.
For the first time, the league is meaningfully reshaping how it values its players.
Minimum salaries, which hovered around the $60,000 range in 2025, are set to jump dramatically into a new tiered structure—ranging roughly from $100,000 to $150,000 depending on experience. That alone is a seismic shift for younger players and those fighting to stay in the league.
But the change doesn’t stop at the floor.
Average salaries are projected to rise into the $250,000 to $300,000 range—a massive leap from the roughly $150,000 average in 2025. That kind of increase doesn’t just improve quality of life—it changes how long players can sustain careers, how they train, and how they plan their futures.
And then there’s the ceiling.
The league’s top “supermax” contracts—once nowhere near the million-dollar mark—are now expected to exceed $1 million for elite, qualifying players. For the first time in WNBA history, its biggest stars will be compensated in a way that begins to resemble their impact on the sport.
Even team economics are shifting. Salary caps are projected to rise significantly, with some estimates suggesting they could surpass $2 million per team. That means more flexibility, stronger rosters, and a more competitive, better-funded league overall.
And just as important as the numbers is the structure behind them.
This 7-year agreement—with a 6-year opt-out—signals long-term stability while still giving players leverage in the future. It’s designed not just to increase pay, but to expand revenue sharing, strengthen financial security, and—critically—reduce the long-standing necessity for players to compete overseas during the offseason just to earn a proper living.
Because that’s been one of the quiet truths of the WNBA for years: the season didn’t end when the games stopped. It continued in other countries, under different contracts, with added physical risk—because it had to.
Now, for the first time, that reality may start to change.
And that’s why this agreement is being called transformative.
Not because it solves everything overnight—but because it breaks from decades of “business as usual,” where women’s labor in professional sports was undervalued, underfunded, and often overlooked.
This is a re-calibration of worth.
And after nearly 30 years of proving it, over and over again… the league is finally starting to catch up to the players who built it.

@TakedownMRAs @statesman I used to be a liberal. But I can't call myself that anymore unless I screech on the internet about fascism and wanting men in girl's locker rooms.
So... guess I'm a right winger now.

@adnan_aliyu @DarkTube Lol. You and I have different definitions of "immediately".
English

Honestly, it’s a deeply disturbing situation. Angela White handled it the right way—she trusted her instincts and ended the encounter immediately. The guy’s behavior—refusing protection, ignoring consent, trying to record without permission, and that eerie mirror moment—shows a complete lack of respect and boundaries.
It also highlights a bigger issue: even when someone seems normal or polite at first, red flags can appear quickly, and trusting your gut is crucial. No one should feel pressured into unsafe situations, and White’s story is a reminder that consent is non-negotiable.
English

Australian adult film actress Angela White recounted a bad experience with a French fan she met at a convention on the podcast Under The Influence. After exchanging contact information, she agreed to meet him in her hotel room. During their encounter, several red flags quickly appeared. The man refused to use a condom, attempted to do things without her consent, and then pulled out his phone to record them.
White said the strangest moment was when, in the middle of sex, the man turned around and she saw him looking at himself in the mirror "like in American Psycho." At that point, she decided to end the encounter immediately and leave.

@KimbyzZarosky @SteveTothTX Did your daughter also take the class called “My parent is a moron?”

It was 2021 when I passed the initial ban on Critical Race Theory in Texas Classrooms. Many of the House and Senate Members had never heard of CRT so I bought each of them a book that was being read in Texas elementary schools;“Not My Idea, A book about whiteness”.
The book literally depicts a child as a white devil who oppresses children of color. @GeneForTexas in his arrogance put out a post on his social media reading the book to his young children.
This is the blowback from years of infusing this hatred in to the hearts and minds of minds of our children. It’s has spawned an explosion of violence in classrooms across the U.S. and needs to stop.

@MCCCANM @JeffCatalfino @OnDisasters If you'd been on that particular flight, would you have immediately thought that's what was happening?
English

@JeffCatalfino @OnDisasters It would be potentially dangerous. If you were 10’ above the runway, you could come down hard. They want at least one wheel down before the ground spoilers deploy.
English

On the 737 NG, a trick to stop “floating” (not touching down & going too long) is to bank & try to get the right main landing gear to touch.
When it does, the spoilers on the wing deploy, cutting lift & setting you down.
Has to be the right, the left doesn’t do it. Doesn’t work on the MAX, which requires both gear to touch.
