    New year, new coordinators, new personnel ... same old mediocre Seahawks. Boring, inept offense paired with a defense that refuses to get off the field leading to a lopsided time of possession and a predictable outcome. Things were supposed to be different this year!

    99% of the times I am on this site are when I have brief downtimes at work, to clear my mind, to allow me to focus better after a few minutes. There isn't enough time for me to form coherent thoughts and followup on responses. Plus I often have nothing of value to add, much like what I'm writing right now.

    We usually hit the grocery store every Saturday morning, so either on Friday night or early Saturday morning we'll go through a random selection of cookbooks (of which we have many), and pull out some potential ideas that sound good. Once we have several options, we'll weed them down into a set of six/seven that we can do across the week. Typically there'll be at least one slow cooker meal, some quicker options for nights when we have to take the children to extracurriculars, and in general make sure we lean towards lean meats and vegetarian options. The ingredients to support those meals are what we buy at the store. This way no particular decisions have to be made the night of the meal, beyond calculating the timing of when to start cooking.

    Ep 6 spoilers OK so now Sam needs to beat 13:09 to win. Their day is 12 hours long so he'd have to a) remain unfound and b) have 70+ minutes of time cards in his hand. Sure that Move card could help him meet a) above but didn't the fine print say that his timer will pause during the 60 minutes he has available to move? So assuming he uses the whole hour he'd then need to have 130+ minutes of time cards to beat Ben's time at the end of the day. Seems highly unlikely.

    There are dozens of us here! r/CFB is one of the few subreddits in which I still consistently lurk. Unfortunately I tend to not write much nowadays so you won't get much out of me except for a vote.

    Sounds like a throwback to an earlier era of theirs, which actually increases my interest in their new album. And it officially releases today? Wish I had some money to spare to go pick it up.
