Second weekend in May, let me get back to you
Good thing I just bought tickets for my West Coast trip in may, unless the airlines don't even survive
Come to chiditarod kickoff tomorrow & I'll bring you one, I'll figure out how to keep it cold somehow
I think this is a runner up to Bokeh's chicago dog cocktail in "cocktails with the soul of a sandwich"
This is incredibly interesting to me as someone who reads James C. Scott a lot and is obsessed with the theory of the state and state capacity. This post should be a book.
Yeah I'll say that the whiskey substitute is good if you mix it 50/50 in an old fashioned, feels like you've had 50% as many old fashioned later. Too weird on its own
Yeah no problem and seriously feel free to give me a call, I've seen too many people throw away a decade of life that way
Sterilization for shelf stability is harder, without ruining the flavor! Is an explanation a grocery store wine expert gave me. I think this one also processes a ton of mushrooms per bottle.
A thing I recommend is applying lower than your scores would justify to get heavy scholarships. Low debt can give you better options than a prestigious degree in many ways. Especially maybe where explaiming yourself to St Peter is concerned
Little Saints. The Instagram ads wore me down and I'm just generally mycologically inclined
Really it's the debt! I thought $150,000 at graduation was a lot but that's just one year these days
This mushroom based gin substitute is not gonna get repurchased by me but we're having fun while it lasts
Nooooooo
I understand the impulse but please let me talk to you first
in better news I think I have finally achieved what I was aiming for with the jalapeΓ±o mushroom garlic-olive martini
Top vaccine regulator does what? It's Friday news dump oh god what did he do
Game of Thrones: White Collar
Okay rain so far today is about 120% of one barrel. The backup is starting to fill on the south side pair.
trying to get this problem solved before the weekend and suddenly realizing that I really should take time to circle back with client leadership on the problem, so they can understand that I wasn't the guy who caused it and I can better throw that guy under the bus later if I have to.
Got my motion to compel on file! Sorry to ruin opposing counsel's weekend :)
I made a promise to myself that I would not get involved this year in elections I can't vote it, and that's stood me in good stead, but I am just going to say that jesus christ I guess adequate pre-campaign vetting of candidates must now involve full nude photos.
Every civilization has a caloric base. For the Chinese, rice. For the Comanche, grass, horses, bison. For us, corn.
a chart showing the price of corn spiking due to the war in Iran
good news for the farming and farmland-owning side of my family I guess
lmao
PHOTOS: Delays persist at O'Hare as thunderstorms, much warmer weather take over Chicago area
remember when New Hampshire made it legal for pregnant women to murder? I'm sorry you're going through this, you deserve at least petty crimes
"light sweet crude" horniest commodity, i don't like it
