The only ability you have in French is to judge. It’s what the language is for.

I have a vague memory of listening to him on the radio in NY way back in the day and he was a legit sports analyst. Then a couple years later he showed up on national broadcasts and was completely different. Maybe my memory is failing me, but I don’t remember him starting as an obnoxious talking head.
Slightly unrelated, but one time I let out an amazing belch and nobody was around to hear other than the dog, so I high five her. That alone was worth teaching her that trick.
Having read Scar Tissue, there was a lot of illicit love with the fans.
“A man dies two deaths. The first, when he draws his last breath. The second, when the last bit of shitty band-aid code he wrote is overwritten.”
I’m not sure there has ever been a show that has clicked for me quite the way that early Always Sunny did. I had never even heard of it before and I randomly caught the musical episode. I loved it so much that my broke ass immediately bought the first 3 seasons on dvd.
Ah, the Sam Vimes boots theory again.
That’s actually what I tried to do. But I live in Seattle. 9ish months of cold wet days means I’m in terrible shape when the beautiful summer comes around, then by the time I’m back in shape, it’s time to hibernate again.
Basically comes down to the fact that I don’t enjoy it. Every time I’m on a bike I just think “I could be in a car. I could be sitting in a comfy seat listening to music, going way faster than this, using zero effort.” I like diving, I don’t like biking.
Plus, the last thing I want to do after a 12-hour shift at a physical job is to bike several miles uphill to get home.
I did the same math when I bought my bike. How many times do I have to ride it to work to break even on this purchase? And as soon as I hit that threshold I never touched the thing again. Turns out I hate riding a bike.
After that one incident, I can confidently say that habaneros are not a finger food.
I eat burgers and sandwiches in a circular pattern for this exact reason. So many people eat it so that the last bite is mostly bread soggy with sauces. I make sure that the last bite is from the dead center, so it’s still warm and has the perfect ratio of ingredients.
Alaska has a rule where a long as they freeze the fish on the processing boat (ie before it gets to the on-shore processing facility) they can label it as “Fresh Never Frozen.”
Gotta be loud, fast and angry. Gotta get shit done, can’t be listening to anything relaxing.
Oddly, a very similar war was fought in Mexico over mayonnaise almost four centuries later. I guess it was more a series of skirmishes than a war, but it was a fairly important conflict.
There were obviously other geopolitical factors at play, but it was largely symbolic resistance to European/ white influence on a country with massively changing demographics. In the spring of 1856, indigenous forces tried to block a large shipment of goods coming out of Spain. The freight consisted of a lot of different goods intended to provide a more “European” lifestyle for the elites in Mexico. While only a small portion of it was actually mayonnaise, it turned into a bit of a rallying cry for a movement trying to resist the influx of white oppressors who were turning into the ruling class.
Eventually the resistance forces captured an artillery battery and were able to shell the incoming freight ship, sinking it before it got to the harbor. While it obviously didn’t stop the European influence, it became a folk legend and a rallying cry for Mexican pride. To this day, you can still see “Sinko de Mayo” celebrations commemorating the event.
I spent some time in Cairmgorn a few years ago. It was quite beautiful in that cold, windswept Scottish way. It’s decently popular, but it’s big enough and far enough away from the major cities that I never ran into crowds.
Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside a dog, it’s too dark to read.
I’ll agree on 99. But I don’t really consider that one of their albums. They explicitly produced it as a bullshit cop-out to fulfill their contract with Victory Records.
Really digging Reign in Slumber. Thanks for the recommendation.
On the topic of Asian metal, Voice of Baceprot just played the Glastonbury festival, which is pretty awesome. All-female Indonesian band.
Also, the dude who works at the gas station down the street introduced me to Minerva, a Bangladeshi metal band.
