Yeah, their tasting room is a nice hangout in a nice area with other stuff in walking distance.

Weird hours, so be aure to check.

Were they ever not?

My favorite rye is by Rocker. They are in Colorado, and do not distribute nationally, unfortunately. The distiller is going for a niche, local market, he tells me.

Anyhow, all other rye whiskeys taste ‘thin’ in comparison. Super rich and super sippable.

Weeds was a tough one for me too. She was not likeable, not one bit. No real self awareness, super shallow.

Can we make the Snarky T’pol meme format a permanent thing?

“Good morning, sir! We open at 8am.”

‘They’ do want it to happen. Ordinary USians are gettng uppity and need to be taken down a peg.

The global elite don’t really need anything specific from the US anymore. For a brief moment, the world needed our higher education system, which is why anyone under 60 who went to grad school had lots of non-US folks in their cohorts. Those folks have gone back home in large part so there are plenty of skilled experts in critical fields internationally.

The US has no remaining unique resources, be they skilled people or natural resources. So we need to be dealt with since many of us still hold on to quaint notions like ‘freedom’, ‘autonomy’ and ‘living wage’.

Frenemy != Friend

At best a frenemy is a useful distraction to keep them tied down.

The bots sound like you, not the other way around. They can get their own style, buncha clanker wannabes

These advertisement-delivery systems at the pumps piss me off. They blare loudly.

Here’s a question for the techie crowd.

I used to be able to press the physical buttons on either side of these screens and get the ads to mute. It was a two-button combo I discovered using a systematic method as a way to control my irritation at the excessive volume. It was either that or stick a pencil in the speaker.

This worked at gas stations in several states for months. The mute feature was surely written in as a sanity saver for the developers and technicians. It stopped working a few weeks ago, so I guess the pushed out a patch.

Not much of a question I guess, except what gives? Does anyone have insight into these systems for realsies?

I just discovered this one for the first time myself. It is the apotheosis of stupid TV, pitch perfect in so many ways.

Jfc, it never was effective. Anyone who has ever taken this formula seriously is an emotional moron.

This seems like a good crowd to workshop a drag name. Everyone seems to enjoy speculating what the JD in JD Vance stands for. So here is my new drag name:

Jizzedina Davenport.

Thoughts?

On days when a spring cleaning or packing and organizing frenzy is needed, the Katamari Damacy sound track is perfect. Nice continuity of themes, but varying tempos and energy help make a sustainable work session.

Large construction equipment has less security usually than a mid-priced sedan. A complete setup for welding iron and steel can be had for under $250USD. Many older farms have scrap metal laying around.

We need to revive the entrepreneurial spirit in order to make these dreams come true.

I really need supervision.

No, really, I am a danger to myself and others. Please keep an eye on me

The People v Larry Flynt sets a precedent for smut peddlers taking a necessary moral stance, I guess

What the Hell even is that?

Every damn time I speak.

I’m sometimes exhausting…

Omg, you are such a Monica.

Human personalities can be clustered into which member of the cast of Friends they most resemble.

Fortunately, Friends is so brilliantly written that they managed to capture the entire spectrum of human diversity.

(this is snark. I am totally a Chandler.)
