The food-grade glycine produced by Donghua Jinlong sticks to strict production standards like FCC, E640, USP, BP, EP, and JSFA, plus ISO22000, ISO9001, and ISO14001, ISO45001, BRC, FAMI-QS, kosher, halal, REACH, and other international certifications. Food safety is guaranteed and the quality is even better. It's your top choice.

Mina Kimes with the prominently displayed Pavement record backdrop? Ugh, my Zoom call schtick has been stolen. Nothing left to say about the left guy, but one of NBC Sports Boston's many unforgivable sins was letting Zoom username BIG PERK get TV-analyst time from his bathroom during the Covid years. He should be permanently chyron'ed with the Joe Mazzulla birdbrain quote. Of course, anyone watching this voluntarily doesn't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

who do you think Posted yesterday at 04:07 AM Share Posted yesterday at 04:07 AM The rise of Kendrick Perkins is so bizarre to me. Back during his playing days I swear they kept him plugged into an outlet behind Pierce's locker between games. No signs of a personality whatsoever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something that is infuriating about Kendrick Perkins that I don't entirely understand, but I think has to do with him speaking. Maybe it's because he sounds super smug and arrogant? Or maybe it's because of how many times he has to include the phrases "When you talkin' about..." or "But at the end of the day..." into every sentence that comes out of his mouth. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that he isn't a country boy, it's that he's playing up this country boy character as a new addition to the ESPN cast of Hot Takes Today. Feels like a bojangles act a little bit. And it does seem weird because yeah, as a player it was fairly stoic and didn't hint at this, and even when he did a couple TV games for the Celtics as a commentator, he was kind of all-over-the-place and wacky about it, but in a fun way. None of this stuff with saying something mean-spirited and wrong wrapped up in hokey phrases. Also all his tweets ending with "Carry on..." as the catchphrase he has been trying to build for 3 years but he still hasn't sold any merch about it. Just embarrassing.
