I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that the period this will be in congressional review is very likely going to cover at least a couple weeks leading up to the election

Yeah I've had one of these, they're honestly pretty loving good if you're hungry. Don't heat them up though, the FRH doesn't improve things, it should be eaten as is because it tastes like cold pizza out of the fridge.

I mean, I did say hungry, you'd have to be like "didn't eat anything yesterday and also probably missed any food all day today too" kinda hungry, where you start looking at everything as a potential food item. It's definitely no Vomelet though.

I might be the only Grunt who likes- and always liked- MREs.

The Pizza is pretty legit. I used to keep a package of them (they were available from Bridgeport in camping sections, along with a BBQ and a dessert like version of a Wheat Snack Bread Pop Tart) in my trunk with emergency supplies.

Hot take: astronaut ice cream is good.

I would eat a lot of it if it were more stocked and priced like ordinary snack foods.

It's really hard to gently caress up a red sauce main and also stews. I'll go for the beef stew or the spaghetti like it's no big deal, they're essentially the same thing as what you'd get out of a can at a supermarket.

"Astronaut" ice cream is a gimmick and also not great, the freeze drying process sucks all the moisture out of your mouth when it rehydrates. Can't imagine what happens if it's freeze dried pizza bits.

I didn't mind the pizza MRE. The only MREs I didn't like were the sausage biscuit ones (unless warmed to incredibly hot), and the vegetable lasagna one that tasted like vomit.

All the other MREs were perfectly edible and none of them ever gave me any kind of digestion issues. They're also 1000 times better than any of the civilian camping meals.

Wish I had grabbed a couple boxes of MREs when I left the Army to use on backpacking trips.

Sounds like when we almost ran out of food on the boat and we were dumping condiments onto our single slice of bread for any extra calories we could get. We probably would have loved MRE Pizza at that point.

Yeah, we missed resupply for like a month plus on deployment and we were eating just about anything we could. Weird things got slathered onto bread in order to just have anything in your stomach because you're still burning 3000 calories a day and after a certain point anything is edible. In that case, MRE pizza would be heaven. poo poo, if I was that hungry again I'd probably go for the Vomelet.

That's just normal-rear end hungry, I'm a heathen and will do that anyway. We were eating mustard sandwiches on midrats because pretty much all we had was some questionable veggies from a can (spinach usually), ketchup, mustard, and flour for bread. 0/10 would not do again, ever. That's the reason I told the Navy never again when they asked me if I was going to reup for a sea tour.

We only got half our food load delivered and our incompetent chop decided not to tell our captain until the start-up was in progress.

Only two times in my life I've ever experienced food insecurity was when I was very young, and then again on the submarine.

In a strange turn, the one thing the Army always gave us was food. It might be just this side of edible, but they always provided it.

Water, on the other hand, not so much.

I grew up on what they now call 'food insecure', and recall eating expired brownie mix with water, and poo poo like the delicacy of condiments on saltines; the Army was like a buffet in comparison.

The Humanitarian MREs are pretty drat decent, because it's mostly jarred stuff like 3 bean salad in retort pouches.

I wanna get a case of Halal MREs, but are afraid it will be mostly curry.

We had our freezer break about 5 days into a 60+ day mission.

500 calories of dehydrated eggs + whatever was in the cans a meal. I dropped 40 lbs in a month and a half.

We had to keep all the rotting meat sealed and stored until we were off mission, the smell when they started popping the bags to shoot it was loving ungodly.

E: also three meals a day, and you were limited to eating 2 of them.

I feel like between that, and an extremely slow surface transit from Guam to the US I got a little taste of what being an old-timey sailor was like.

This is a man who wrote a movie specifically so he could get to suck tequila off Salma Hayek's toes. He is such an enormous, well-known pervert that I'm confident the only reason he hasn't been memory holed by Hollywood as a whole is because he's got Epstein-level dirt on half of Los Angeles.

tarantino gets away with poo poo because anyone can object to script content or walk away from a production, as opposed to the other hollywood creeps who use their influence to coerce or threaten people into abuse. going on contract and getting a payday of hundreds of thousands of dollars for including a scene where you get your toes sucked is pretty goddamn different from some slimeball threatening to ruin your career if you don't let him molest you or worse. the problem isn't weirdo perverts, it's the abuse of power, and by all accounts tarantino doesn't do that, so nobody cares.

That reminds me of the stories my grandpa would tell from his time in the Navy during WW2.

"Well ya see, growing up my favorite parts of the chicken was the tail and the neck since that was all that was left if you were late to supper. So when they put me on a boat and gave me food i could eat on the regulat I was plum tickled pink.

"Then the fridges broke but that weren't too bad because then it was all the fried chicken and ice cream you could eat.

"... then it was all the cold chicken you could eat and melted ice cream you could drink..."

"... finally it were just all the chicken you could force yourself to eat while avoiding the black ring growing out from the bone."

Haberman doesn’t surprise me at all; a lot of journalists were calling her an “access journalist” who never wrote anything bad about Trump in exchange for having access and scoops about him. But Chris Cuomo? Didn’t he rise to prominence for his frequent critiques of Trump before he got fired for covering for his harasser brother?
