How is it? I've looked at that bottle many times. I have a new favorite Bourbon. New Riff Single Barrel. I really enjoyed their Rye, too (see upthread). Label says orange peel and black cherry, I get a bit of peach. It'd be great with BBQ. https://www.wineandcheeseplace.com/images/sites/wineandchee...

So I thought I'd do something for the environment today, so I stopped off at the liquor store and bought some Lost Monarch, a blended, Redwood Empire Whiskey (it blends I think 60% of their straight rye whiskey, and 40% of their straight bourbon). Oh, and they plant a redwood for every bottle they s...

Help out an old: what the hell is YSL?

I googled it and Safari wanted to direct me to Yves Saint Laurent cosmetics? (And I now presume this is about a rapper)

Guess I learned today that Jerry Sichting (1) joined the Celtics just after the 1985 finals and (2) is pronounced Cease-Sting and not Sitch-Ting. I guess I know him from basketball cards only. Remember when Topps basketball cards were perforated, three player cards? It was like that into the early ...

I sent mine in the other day. Came in from cantonjester [@] gmail.com.

Without using MAGA-brain logic, what difference does this make negatively for a criminal defendant? Like normally, let’s say the DA isn’t banging anyone, she’d appoint the best prosecutor, right? But if she just appointed the guy she’s raw-dogging, he would by logic NOT be the best prosecutor in th...

Anyone replaced a garage door spring and pulley and metal cords? Guy wanted $950 and I can't do that. Bit worried about my hands and metal parts and tension. I think $950 (if the guy will guarantee his work and he has good reviews) is a good price. My dad paid something like $1200 down in Palm Beac...

If I’m Elias I see about making an offer for a mid-rotation arm like Michael Lorenzen, then if Bradish can actually be one of those guys who pitch effectively with a partially torn UCL (there are a few of them, but that’s still a big ask), and Means gets back, then consider moving Kremer to the pen ...

So the Black Crowes played last night at KLOS out in California. They have a new album out next month. They sound pretty freakin good.

Sent - This week’s quiz got me thinking about how Win Butler from Arcade Fire would play really well, trying very hard during those celebrity basketball games during the NBA ASG weekends way back when.

Right. They're circling the wagons here.

I noticed when it was running last night that all the people washing the feet were white. Those having their feet washed were not. I'm sure there's a "cleanse the sinner" thing going on there somewhere. Nothing to do with theology. Young people are leaving the church in droves mainly due ...

I sent a congrats to a former coworker after LinkedIn told me it was his 4-year anniversary at Meta. He used to work for me as a developer at a small company where he was underpaid. We were chatting about how he's thinking of leaving. He casually mentioned that he's now making 6X what he was making...

Every player understanding the salary cap would likely have more direct on-field impacts. No Sybian nailed it when he mentioned the disorienting nature of not knowing the rules can have a negative impact on your ability to win the game. Also it smacks of Shanahan NGAF enough to explain the rules be...

I'm with Ched here. It sounds bad but I don't see how it matters if the coaches know and are doing the coinflip decision and play-calling. I think it matters in terms of organizational philosophy and continued buy-in of the moment. You know, understanding the rules of how to win the game. It’s defi...

Finally.

SF were a lot better than I realized after Baltimore beat the snot out of them a couple months ago.

Another garbage spot by the refs, but Mahomes runs for 20 anyway.

EnochRoot

Why wouldn’t Reid challenge that craptastic spot? Unless they saw a replay that showed Kelce was down before moving the ball forward (there wasn’t), you challenge that call and use the review as if you’re going to lose the spot.

Stupid.

EnochRoot

That was one of the worst balls I’ve ever seen Mahomes throw.

EnochRoot

LOL at that being grounding. Freakin receiver was right there.

Amir Abdul-Rahim has South Florida (can't say USF h/t Howard) doing good things this season in the American. They were down 13 at the break on the road at Rice, but he got them to reset their focus and they basically eviscerated the lead before 5 min had elapsed in the 2nd half. IMO he's going to be...

I know it shouldn't blow my mind, but it does when the special prosecutor says that "Joe Biden is a well meaning elderly man with a poor memory" and therefore won't have charges brought against him for the classified documents handling and it's wall to wall coverage headline news everywhe...

I didn’t realize Rudy Gay isn’t currently on an NBA roster. I would’ve seen the news had he retired.

A while back, I had a disagreement with some folks about whether it was correct to accuse the Right of book burning where they burned some empty boxes as a stunt and they weren't actually burning books. Well, they're explicitly burning books now - and making it part of their campaign platform. http...

The Chiefs rush for around 200 yards and win by 10 points.

That sucks, Dave. At least he went out doing something he loved (mechanical failures aside).

My Twitter tonight was completely dominated by the Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs rendition of Fast Car and I love it. It's rare that we can all come together to be wowed by a particularly spectacular piece of art. Good for her. I loved her debut. Played it a lot delivering pizza. IMO yet another cas...

Nothing will ever come close to racist for me the way Ari Shaffir did The Amazing Racist 20ish years ago before he became more well known. Rounding up Mexicans at Home Depot and then driving to the immigration office. Going to a Asian restaurant dressed as a geisha and asking "What kind of Chi...

It's been 5 years since he got shitcanned and I honestly couldn't give a shit less. His stand-up special on Netflix is friggin' great and I'm pretty sure he learned from the incidents. I agree. I felt like he got railroaded a bit. I don’t remember the joke that got him fired, but IIRC, someone dug ...

Has anyone else started the "Masters of the Air" on AppleTV? I've watched the first 2 episodes, and its pretty good so far. The flight scenes are terrifying. Heard an interview with the main writer (he also wrote the "Day of Days" episode of Band of Brothers) and it was pretty i...

Just watched Saltburn. That was….something. I just watched it today. And yup. Something is right. It had laugh out loud moments and what the fuck moments, so I was thoroughly entertained.

Never seen it.

What the hell was I thinking? I would’ve lost anyway to the buzzsaw that was Duff, but I was not thinking of Scrabble tiles.

That isn't entirely incorrect. It was quite a nice way to try and move on from football season. My oldest who is into all of baseball and not just the O's, was giddy about this deal. I'd love to see them sign Burnes to a longer deal before the season opens. Can't be disappointed with an opening day...
