Grilling / Cooking (mostly grilling)
Tried steak in the air fryer for the first time last night and was impressed. While not as good as the sous vide, it was way quicker and easier. It's going to be a great option for short notice meals and for camping.

The TV Thread
Having played both games recently, I can confirm that it's been pretty bang on to the source material so far. Some minor changes but that's inevitable so no complaints from me. I was skeptical of Bella Ramsey playing Ellie but so far so good. They told both leads not to watch any of the game stuff, so they can make the characters their own. Both admit to checking some stuff out so I'm sure that is one reason why it's been so similar to the game (at least from a character standpoint). There's only two episodes of LOU out so there's not much to get into yet. We watched the 1st episode of the 90's show... really wanted to like it but I don't know if we'll be going back for episode 2. Didn't find it funny aside from Red & Kitty.

I didn't think anyone could top Rod P but Ball takes being a clown to a whole new level.

Don't forget Cody! They really wanted him back but they wanted to see what FA could offer as well.

Ballsy when BLM told him he was going to test FA:

2022/2023 Off-Season (League/Non-Bombers-specific News)
His twitter is comedy gold... he's now spinning it as being a case where IF he had made it to FA, BLM would have signed with Sask. He says BLM told him personally that he was going to test FA so that's what he went with (apparently Ballsy isn't too familiar with sports cliches and typical athlete interview answers). Also says he knew this was coming for over a week since he's closer to the situation than most but if you're that close to the situation, how did you get it so wrong?

Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season
We have Richmond being groomed as a possible replacement (assuming he can bounce back from his injury). You never know what the next guy will bring though. Stanley was already established as a top OT from his time Calgary but I don't know that anyone here expected Yoshi to turn out like he did. He had already been cast aside by two teams and even the Bombers had concerns so they had a weight clause added to his contract. 6 seasons later, he's a staple on the right side of the line and one of the most popular players we have.

Restaurant/food thread
Those are pretty common closures though and the issues are usually cleared up in a few days. If the restaurant was doing that poorly, it may have been the final straw for the owners. No point spending money to fix things if they were already contemplating shutting down.

Grilling / Cooking (mostly grilling)
An Ooni is on my want list but I haven't convinced the wife yet. 😂 A guy had one tailgating before a Bomber game and I was watching him crank out pizzas in under two minutes. He did say it had a bit of a learning curve but you figure it out quickly.

I bbq & smoke year round. I use a welding blanket as a cover to help retain heat so I'm not burning as much fuel. Blow torch is my post sous vide searing method.- Grilling / Cooking (mostly grilling)
Over here, it's 2 Airfryers, 1 InstaPot & 1 Sous Vide... she loves her kitchen gadgets. I stick to the BBQ & Smoker for the most part but use the air fryer now and then.- Around The NHL 2022-23
Pretty much how I felt when I saw the new Last Of Us show described as a period piece when it's only set in 2003...- Wrestling
Yeah it's not a good look for WBD, considering they have no issues partnering up with Dana White for his ridiculous Power Slap promotion (which they are using AEW as a lead-in for). Dana was just recorded slapping the s**t out of his wife in a Mexican bar on New years and they stayed silent so that's OK I guess. Old tweets, that have since been apologized and atoned for are worthy of a lifetime ban though.- 2022/2023 Off-Season (League/Non-Bombers-specific News)

Agreed, the league has been trying to do this for a while (see Imports qualifying as Nationals) but this piece of information seems to have flown under the radar so I wonder if this has caused some issues for teams and their FA planning.- 2022/2023 Off-Season (League/Non-Bombers-specific News)
Some interesting info from Naylor about the new guaranteed contracts. If you're a GM that likes to build through FA rather than draft & develop (Chris Jones, I'm looking at you), it might be a bit of a disadvantage for you as the current team can offer an guarantee to a player but you can't.- 2022/2023 Off-Season (League/Non-Bombers-specific News)
I had similar thoughts... the bottom line is that he needs game time to have a shot at pro football, regardless of what league he hopes to play in. I don't find it that unusual. It's not like he doesn't have ties here too. His dad finished his CFL career as a Bomber and his cousin coaches for the Bisons. Goods also hasn't lived in AB for a while (he moved to Connecticut in 2018) so that might not be home for him anymore.- Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season
