Good thing I just bought tickets for my West Coast trip in may, unless the airlines don't even survive

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

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.

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.

Trump’s U.S.S. Cole Remarks Raise Questions in GuantΓ‘namo Case

back in 2000, the Washington Times had the heading "17 SAILORS GO DOWN ON COLE" and C was in high school and had a friend named Cole Newton, so that was good for a laugh

I read about some doctor who made up her own form and would give to parents saying "okay I understand your choice, for our records please sign to confirm that you understand that this choice exposes your child to increased risk of illness, hospitalization, and death"
