I've never had a proper steak that really excited me. A nice hamburger steak with brown gravy, mushrooms and onions? Mmmm.

[Orange Wizard]

People don't like steak? O.o

I guess if it's crap steak then it's... y'know, crap. Maybe you've just never had sirloin

[sluissa]

I'll also generally pick chicken or fish over steak... I'll usually only eat the steak if it's the only socially acceptable option. (I'm tired of getting nagged at because I chose to eat chicken at a steakhouse.) I do enjoy a good steak on occasion, but it seems to be a lot easier to get bad steak than bad chicken or fish. So why risk it unless you know you're getting something good?

[Frumple]

Beef tips are probably one of my favorite sorts of meat, personally. Basically a steak cut into small strips and cooked that way, for those that've never had it. That said, some properly marinated normal steak, probably with a thin basting of barbecue sauce or whatever suits your taste, trends hard towards pretty damn good. Not even that hard to cook, either, though I only very rarely actually cook steak (though I was initially taught how to with two bricks, a grill, and sticks gathered from the yard. Pecan wood cooked steak, tenderized beforehand by soaking a bit in about a can's worth of dr pepper. Pretty sure that was more or less it, and still one of the best damn ways I've found to cook the stuff.).

All that said, I don't eat it very often, just cause beef tends to be more expensive than chicken or pork. I've actually learned to do some pretty amazing things with discount/near expiration beef, but I still don't usually bother. Easier to stock up on chicken :V

CNBC believe such a debate would be Hillary's worst nightmare realised,

I dont buy it.  It seems like a good thing for Clinton.  Sanders hypothetically gaining a few points in California isn't going to change the fact that she has a lock on the convention.  Sanders spreading an anti-Trump message while Clinton is completely aloof is a win for her.

I hate to cut this short, but:

What struck me was something else. Before the speech, there was some discussion of whether Trump would use a teleprompter instead of relying on his typical rambling improvisations. He did end up using one — "to keep him on message," says Reuters — but the effect ended up being bizarre.

Two things were evident throughout what was clearly intended by the campaign to be a Major Speech, showing Trump as a Serious Man.

The first is that Trump loves his rambling improvisations, and so does his audience, so he can scarcely be restrained from indulging in them. Time after time he would slip off script, tossing in a line about his border wall, his lead in the polls, Hillary Clinton's intention to "abolish the Second Amendment," or farmers. (He loves farmers.)

The second is that Trump was encountering his own speech, if not for the first time, then something close to it. The difference in tone and affect between the parts he read and the parts he freestyled was almost comical. He would squint at the teleprompter for a moment, read a fully formed English sentence with correct grammar and multisyllabic words ... and then grin, look out at the audience, and fire off a few hortatory exclamations.

What made this effect particularly disconcerting is that many of Trump's spontaneous interjections were reactions to his own speech.

[squint] "American energy dominance will be declared a strategic, economic, and foreign policy goal of the United States." [grin] "About time!"

It happened again and again. He'd read some statistic about the Environmental Protection Agency and then interject, "Wow, can you believe that?"

It was as though he was discovering Donald Trump's energy policies alongside his audience, and he liked what he saw. Oh, look here, Donald Trump is going to cancel the Paris climate accord, that's great!

It was amusingly Trumpian — Donald Trump often expresses admiration for things Donald Trump does or owns — but it was also revealing of some of his less commented-upon but more unsettling qualities.

youtube of the speech, including the people introducing him. It's kind of long.

P.S. Supposedly, Hillary's supposed to win before the California primary even starts. The article I read didn't mention whether that was with or without superdelegates, but when Sanders is fighting just to get half the delegates in the biggest state, and thinks doing so would be a victory... and keeps saying he's going to win... (If you remember, I voted for him in an earlier primary, but now he looks really delusional, so...)

[Rolan7]

Heh, "to keep him on message."  After he accidentally dared to call out Sanders for a debate, yeah?  I agree that his handlers probably chewed him out for that.

People don't like steak? O.o

I guess if it's crap steak then it's... y'know, crap. Maybe you've just never had sirloin

Trust me, I've heard that a lot (;
I've had sirloin, and filet mignon, and it's pretty decent.  Tender, tastes pretty good.  But for that price, I'd be far happier with high-quality sashimi.  Different strokes is all.

[Orange Wizard]

I'm just a privileged shitlord who spends his social welfare money on steak

[Rolan7]

Good sashimi is fucking expensive too   I've almost only had it with my dad, which...  Is offtopic sorry.

[mainiac]

If you remember, I voted for him in an earlier primary,

No team looks bad winning.  No team looks good losing.

[PTTG??]

Found Hillary's plan.

[Rolan7]

Found Hillary's plan.

So the president is Bill Murray...
I can live with that.

[sluissa]

Nobody would believe Trump HADN'T said that at the end of every interview.
