There's tons of stuff that I like to have, but I wasn't at a boozery. Trader Joe's has some surprisingly ok stuff (their generic Heller Bock is delicious) and I make it a habit of trying all their 750ml single bottle beers as they rotate them in for the seasons. This unfortunately was not a good choice.

To be Frank I’m over bourbon. I have a few bourbons I’ll still drink if I have no other options, but Rye has taken me into its loving arms.

Im not a fan of crown royal but if you can find a bottle of their “bourbon mash” check that poo poo out. It is very good and getting very hard to come by. Rumor is they’ve stopped shipping it to stores because they can’t technically call it a bourbon since it’s canadian, and may be repackaged as something else.

Yea it’s stupid as hell but apparently it’s an actual US law since the 60s

I just found another article from may 2nd saying they’ve already renamed it to crown royal “blenders mash” 🤷🏻‍♂️

A Quiet Place is a really loving stupid movie. It's been out for a month now, so if you haven't already seen it, I'm going to spoil it to save you the trouble.

The movie actually has a neat concept about monsters that "attack sound." In a near-future apocalyptic setting, what humans are left on earth survive by being vewy, vewy quiet (hence the title). If you so much as sneeze, one of them will come zooming out of the woods a few seconds later and cream you. Consequently, there is hardly any sound in the movie. Apparently, nobody on earth knows how to beat these things, even a year and change into this angry ear monster apocalypse.

Here's the spoiler: the monsters are giant walking ears and it takes them the entire movie to realize that the giant walking ears' weaknesses are high frequency noise and supersonic chunks of lead. The HF noise, which is generated by drat near anything electronic, cripples their highly-sensitive ear-faces, and lead is... well, it's loving lead. How it took these idiots until the last two minutes of the movie (~480 days into the apocalypse) to figure this out is beyond me. The movie repeatedly shows a whiteboard in the family's basement with the question "what is their weakness???" and which is set next to a whole fuckload of electronic equipment, including the dad's pet project for their deaf daughter. They also have notes clearly indicating that they know roughly how few of the monsters reside in their area (hint: it's about three). What's up with all of the newspapers with headlines like "we're totally stumped" and front page stories of troops getting their asses kicked?

The characters in question could have just made some noise, shot the first monster that showed up, and kept shooting any subsequent monsters that were attracted to the gunfire. Problem solved, none of the characters would have died, everybody lives happily ever after.

What a dumb loving movie.

I regret not picking the right numbers for last nights' powerball.


That's what it sounds like when people say they regret not buying X financial vehicle or Y stock.

Now I'm going to have a few shock tops with my dabs and hope I picked the right mega millions numbers for tomorrow.

Yeah, I usually don't buy lotto tickets, but when poo poo starts cracking the half billion mark, I throw away a couple bucks. It's one of the curses of being raised with late 20th century lower class optimism. Up until the drawing you're just mentally spending, which is an entertaining thought exercise occasionally but not something I'd like to dwell on several times a week while already knowing the outcome is just more money down the drain.

$2 a few times a year is worth the daydreaming.

Because local VFW members spent years alienating younger vets, women vets, black vets, hispanic vets, democrat vets, and basically anyone that served after maybe Panama or Grenada, and now they have no money to update their sad old man spaces.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:

Because they bought the fluorescent tubes in bulk at Kmart when they went under.

Pretty much every VFW hall needs to be gutted and renovated anyhow. If a bar is the only draw to most halls, I have no reason to go, just to listen to old drunks bitch about politics or how the gays are taking over or whatever. Just a goddamn echo chamber.

At this point, they're going to need to put a gym in my local before I consider setting foot in it. And sell 1g joints at the bar for $5. Then make the building non-smoking but have an outdoor patio smoke pit space (just because I hate my lungs doesn't mean nonsmokers should suffer). And no goddamn political endorsements or inviting reps to come spout their bullshit.

Also get rid of whatever rank structure bullshit games they try to play in the hall. You're not in anymore, you don't get to call yourself a hall commander or post captain or whatever the gently caress (this might be a legion or amvets thing, but it's poo poo).

There needs to be a chart for dumb dumbs like me.

The numbers and names of poo poo under there I may as well be reading a loving can of shampoo on the shitter.

Gimme a fighter game chart where it's just how much I'm gonna enjoy TV vs eat too much vs just having a massive anxiety attack.

And don't lie people would buy the anxiety attack strains there's people who do DMT and PCP already.

4) Return potato to oven after turning potato over, bake 20 minutes
5) Continue cooking at 5 minute intervals until done to your satisfaction
6) Remove, add topping, enjoy

CRUSTY MINGE posted:

I prefer chopping my potatoes down and tossing them in a bag of cooking oil, sea salt and black pepper before dumping them in a baking pan for an hour or so.

Also works well with brussel sprouts, way better than boiling and smothering in cheese like product.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:

I don't cut my sprouts down before cooking, just peel a few leaves off before tossing them in oil and into the oven.

I've sauted plenty of stuff when I worked in kitchens, but I'm lazy at home and try to minimize the amount of work or time I spend in the kitchen. That and I have a glass top stove, which is only a notch above useless for sauteing.
