Usually just the microwave. Got better ideas?

Not really.  I do the microwave with them too, but there's just something off about them that way.

The oven takes longer, but throwing them in at 275 until they warm up is seems to taste a bit closer to the original.

Space Force is good as long as you consider it a sequel to "Threat Level Midnight"
Lmao. Now I would love it if they actually made that a tv series and got Carrell to play Michael Scarn.

As well we all should be,where are the rioters protesters?
What would they be protesting?

Protests are usually to get the attention of the government, which answers to the people. Maybe sometimes they're aimed at companies, which bow to bad press.

But neither gangs at large nor people who commit wonten acts of violence answer to people, nor does bad press particularly slow them. Police in that fair city were given gobs and gobs of money, plus they seemed to violate rights with impunity at points, and it hasn't done a whole lot to keep folks from catching bullets. 

Badge already made clear his feelings that the level of firepower is not the issue. I suppose protesters could march and say they won't stand for it. But it would ring utterly hollow since said offenders don't answer to any sort of public in the first point.

Force a lot of turnovers with the press, but yeah, the fouling on the back end and easy layups are often too much.

The COVID thing to me seems to be out of control now, but it's important to realize that thousands infected in a population of tens of millions is still a small percentage base.  And then of course we have to figure many undiagnosed are also infectious.

Do you two not realize that if BLM got the things they wanted, there'd be far fewer gang members committing far less gang violence?  Do you really not know that?

Thousands in a state that has tens of millions of people, state, not national.

I figured about 1 in 1000 around us is infected right now.  That is my point, I thought it was clear.

That is one OPINION.    It’s hard for someone to “ know “ that when it is wild speculation at best.

Nah.  They are not accountable to facts.  At all. The very thing they are supposed to hold society to, which is a clear and reflective mirror, is now an orchestrated and distorted picture that suits whatever they desire society to see. 

that’s why a majority of citizens do not trust them, and many no longer trust them at all.

I think you have it backwards.
The press used to hold themselves accountable, because it used to matter.  Once they discovered that eyeballs aren't reliant on accuracy, their incentive was gone to do so. 

We, the people, are to blame for the media's misgivings.  The image in the mirror isn't distorted, it's accurate.

I am with you, until the very last sentence, with which I could not disagree more firmly.  The image in the mirror is completely different depending on who is holding it up, therefore at any given times there are multiple mirrors to choose from. By definition, that can’t be accurate.  

Your sentence about eyeballs and accuracy is very insightful and well said, and sadly, true.

the movie I mentioned upthread, Irresistible, actually takes this concept, and builds a hilarious story around it.  Check it out. It is an equal opportunity offender- it doesn’t care what party you are.
