Every time I amazon search a Lego I'd be interested in assembling I find that for the price I could buy something way more enjoyable.

Brick link is a far cheaper way, or maybe eBay but avoid the 'rare' stuff, just get generic 80s/90s sets

You can probably set up other stuff as well, like two-finger tapping for right-click. Mine also has configurable actions for two, three and four finger tapping and scrolling.

No, but I can see some them making slightly thicker piss-water and calling it craft beer.

I think I just took the most perfect dump of my life.

Every poop I have from now on will make me sad, as they will not be as good as this one. Alternatively, this is the beginning of a life of great poops.

They already do, they just don't do it under their own names. Anheuser Busch owns Goose Island, MillerCoors owns Blue Moon, Henry Weinhard's, and Leinenkugel's, etc.

(Note: At least by some definitions, the big breweries can never make craft beers--for example, the Brewers Association defines a craft brewery as one that produces 6 million barrels of beer per year or less, and is not owned or controlled by a brewer that is not a craft brewer.)

Yes. There are lots of breweries that would be called "craft breweries" in terms of their production volumes and techniques, but don't qualify because they're owned by megabreweries.

Which is perfect for the megabreweries, because they get the $$ from craft beer drinkers with their craft-style subsidiaries, and still can run their high-volume breweries at top speed with lovely technique for people who just want to swill thin anygrain lagers.

Yeah--but I'm a bit suspicious of the definition of craft brewery, at least the one put out by the Brewers Association. It seems to be a very political definition, in that it changed from 2 million barrels to 6 million barrels pretty much just because otherwise Boston Beer Company would no longer qualify as a craft brewery.

Just so no one else makes the same mistake I did, the McDonald's McCafé Shamrock Shake is not lime-flavored. It is a disgusting sugary vanilla-mint flavor, and the green is just coloring.

McDonalds burgers are by far the best fast food burgers, and are better than most restaurant burgers while costing half as much.

Pretty much. Unless you make them yourself, they are borderline cardboard anywhere you go. Almost every place I've gone the meat is flavourless and it all comes down to the sauces used in preparation, which McDonalds happens to have one of the better.

Guaranteed that a blind taste test none of you could tell the difference between a $5 fast food and a $20 restaurant burger.

Sorry about your poo poo restaurants. Are you eating at Applebees or some poo poo? Do you not have any restaurants around you that grind their own meat so you have to get them well done? Something is very wrong.
