NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! John Goodman is getting candid about what led him to lose weight.During a recent interview with The New Yorker, the 74-year-old actor discussed his struggles with his weight and alcoholism, saying that he got sober in his 50s, but was trying to manage his weight before quitting.”I’d lose sixty pounds in a summer, gain it all back. Seventy pounds, eighty pounds. And that got tiring,” he said. “I took steps so I wouldn’t have to do that anymore. I was almost four hundred pounds. I was eating alcoholically after I stopped drinking.”He shared that to improve his health, he “had an operation on my stomach,” but said he also became “anemic and lost a layer of fat under my skin.” ‘MIKE & MOLLY’ STAR BILLY GARDELL REVEALS WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY ‘PROBABLY SAVED’ HIS LIFEWhen discussing his experience with alcoholism, the “Roseanne” star shared his struggles began in 1978 when his girlfriend at the time “put me on waivers, so my nights were free for the first time in five years.”He recalled going out to multiple bars until drinking became a “habit,” noting, “I started gaining weight at an alarming rate.” He pinpointed…

Bestech Knives has signed a new designer and his first knife is coming out this month. Jesse Pauley, AKA Caveman EDC, is bringing out the Dactyl, a beefy but relatively compact EDC folder. Pauley got into the knifemaking biz in a modern, but increasingly popular way: the online knife/EDC community. An enthusiast before he was a designer, Pauley created the Caveman EDC Facebook group as a space for like-minded EDCers to gather, chat, and show off their latest gear acquisitions. Eventually, his online presence grew large enough that Pauley was able to start collaborating with makers, which eventually brought him to Bestech for the Dactyl. Love that 80s Camo Carbon The Dactyl is certainly one of those knives that, in images, looks like it would be an absolutely honker. When we first saw it we figured, maybe a 3.5, 3.75-inch blade? But in fact, the Dactyl is a fairly smallish knife – albeit still large enough to be a full-featured EDC: its listed blade length is 2.98 inches. The blade shape is a wide-snouted, compound-ground, Japanese-style tanto – that is to say, the delineation between the primary and secondary edges is gradual rather than instant. Opened primarily with a front…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Modern Times Café, a Minneapolis restaurant that attempted to eliminate prices, has announced that it will be closing for good by the end of the year.”For the last six years, I’ve been trying to prove that Modern Times can continue to exist,” owner Dylan Alverson wrote on social media on Saturday. “I’ve exhausted every option without compromising the core fundamentals that make Modern Times what it is.”He added that he plans to spend the next two months celebrating the 16-year-old business and discussing ways for a business like his to continue.MINNESOTA SENATE VOTES TO BAN ICE FROM WEARING MASKS, ALLOW RESIDENTS TO SUE FOR CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATIONS”The only way for places like Modern Times to exist in the future is to actively challenge the reasons why it can no longer exist,” Alverson wrote.Alverson previously announced on Instagram in January that his business, which rebranded as Post Modern Times, would operate as a “free and donation based restaurant” where everyone would be welcome “except ICE” in protest of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations happening in his state, in response partly to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. “We absolutely cannot go…

The USS Abraham Lincoln is shifting its home port from San Diego to Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton, Washington, according to a recent service announcement. The relocation is expected to be completed later this year and executed as a permanent change of station for the aircraft carrier’s crew and family members. The move, while long planned, had left many family members in limbo after the USS Abraham Lincoln’s routine six-month deployment was extended twice after the U.S. jointly launched Operation Epic Fury with Israel on Feb. 28.The ship, which returned to San Diego, California, on Oct. 8, spent 322 days at sea — and 265 consecutive days without a port call.At an August town hall meeting in San Diego, family members spoke with Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao and other senior officials, expressing frustration with Navy officials over reported food shortages, concerns about self-harm and confusion over the timeline regarding the impending move to Washington. According to the release, the home port shift is part of the Navy’s “strategic dispersal of ships,” while noting that “Regularly scheduled depot-level maintenance maximizes the lifespan of our Navy vessels and keeps our fleets lethal, modern, and ready to defend the nation. The work…

We are just a couple of days away from the World Series starting. There are some great games ahead of us, and baseball has delivered some really enjoyable games this postseason. With the series beginning in a few days, it is worth taking a look at some of the futures markets and who we should wager on for MVP and the overall series.ChampionIt is really hard to bet against the Brewers. I’ll be honest, I’m not a Brewers fan. Most of it is because I am a Cubs fan, and I have found the Brewers to be a bit insufferable without winning anything, so if they do win, it might just get worse. Personal issues aside, the Brewers are the best team in baseball, have been the best team in baseball, and have looked absolutely elite in the postseason. Can they be stopped?RAYS PUNCH THEIR TICKET TO THE WORLD SERIES, TAKING DOWN GUARDIANS IN GAME 6 TO SET UP SERIES WITH BREWERS The Tampa Bay Rays will look to do just that. It doesn’t look good for them, though. They had the second-lowest OPS against 98 mph or faster pitches in baseball this season. They have struck out 66 times…

The U.S. Air Force says it needs 1,509 combat-coded fighters, or jets assigned to combat units, by 2035, according to a new force structure report the service sent to Congress Oct. 16.Lt. Gen. David Tabor, the Air Force’s deputy chief of staff for plans and programs, described the report at an Oct. 20 Pentagon roundtable with reporters, Air & Space Forces Magazine reported. Reporters did not receive a copy of the report, and the service did not respond to a Defense News request for it by publication.F-35s would make up about 40% of the fleet by 2035, up from about 30% today, according to figures Tabor cited. F-22s and their replacement, the F-47, would make up about 20%. The service plans to replace its F-22s with about the same number of F-47s, Tabor said. F-15s and F-16s would split the remaining 40% about evenly. The figures exclude A-10s, which are not currently part of the Air Force’s plans for 2035.Tabor said the analysis was based on what regional commanders say they need to carry out their missions at medium risk. The military rates risk on four levels: low, medium, significant and high. At medium risk, forces would likely achieve their…

The U.S. Navy announced Tuesday that it is offering sizable financial incentives to service members who neutralize explosive devices in a bid to retain their services.Explosive ordnance disposal warfare lieutenants with six years of commissioned service and lieutenant commanders with 10 years of commissioned service are eligible for bonuses of up to $100,000.Both ranks can commit to a 2-year or 4-year contract with different payment plans.Lieutenants who sign up for the 4-year contract bonus receive a $100,000 retention bonus and must complete the EOD Department Head Qualified training by 8 years of commissioned service.Lieutenants can also opt for a 2-year contract bonus, netting $12,500 annually, with the possibility of another two-year bonus worth the same amount at eight years of commissioned service.This track would ensure $50,000 in bonuses.The Navy is offering lieutenant commanders $100,000 in retention bonuses if they sign a 4-year contract after notching 10 years of commissioned service. They can also instead sign up for a 2-year contract after those 10 years, with a $15,000 annual payment. If they re-up the 2-year contract at 12 years, they are eligible for the same yearly payment until they reach 14 years of commissioned service.Eligible officers can submit an application through…

What a birthday week Lindsey Vonn is having.Last weekend, she got the birthday festivities started out in Europe with a bikini beach day, as one does when they turn 42. On Tuesday, she was launching a new collection for her clothing line.Hey, look, those European vacations aren’t going to pay for themselves. Plus, we know that nothing is slowing the Olympic champion, New York Times best-selling author, founder of her own foundation, entrepreneur, investor and dog mom down.THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! That’s all from her Instagram bio and there’s no mention of being a model for her own clothing brand in there. And I guess the clothing brand would fall under the entrepreneur umbrella?I think OutKick’s Joe Kinsey did a good job of giving Vonn her flowers in his coverage of her bikini beach day to kick off her birthday weekend. As he noted, “She could start a podcast, sit on her ass all day yapping about random topics while crushing red wine.”Destroying her leg on the slopes earlier this year would have been the perfect excuse for getting into all that. But she has more to give. Like tiny coats and…

Thirteen U.S. Army Veterinary Corps officers milked a trip to Denmark last month, completing Europe Dairy Pasteurization Audit Training in the seaport city of Kolding.The service said the course — which included on-site field evaluations at eight Danish dairy facilities currently approved for U.S. military procurement — aimed to ensure military members and their families overseas receive dairy that meets or exceeds U.S. standards. In the U.S., commercial milk must be processed according to the Food and Drug Administration’s Pasteurized Milk Ordinance. Because commercial pasteurization methods are “udderly” different across the world, the course gives officers the skills to evaluate pasteurization technology in different regions, the Army said in a Monday release. The course has been taught and revised since 2004. Military auditors from around the world, including Public Health Command Pacific, Area Support Group Kuwait and Public Multinational Force and Observers Egypt, trained to improve their pasteurization skills. Public Health Command Europe is unique, the service said, because it offers military inspectors the chance to see more than 65 pasteurizer setups. During the course, led by Chief Warrant Officer 4 Clayton Davenport, the command food safety officer for Public Health Command Europe, the Army said officers gained realistic experience…
