It probably instructs you to roast your own coffee beans, to mill your own flour, and to brew your own beer, all while using tools that are multi-taskers, because it’s an Alton Brown recipe and is necessarily overly complicated.

I think it would depend on the amount of cinnamon with the chili. I can see a small amount giving an pleasant undernote but if it tastes like you mixed in several table spoons then yeah, nah, gonna pass on that.

This. And I feel like the policies could be decent if moderation was exercised. A lower and more targeted steel tariff on non-allied/US-aligned countries would likely bolster friendly steel industries, but instead we get a 25% tariff on all foreign steel.

Neutral: My stance on a lot of Trump’s policies is that they may have worked if our government instituted them 50 years ago when we still had a solid manufacturing base and we were not so dependent on imports. If back then we levied reciprocal tarrifs on imports as our trade partners levied on us, we might have…

5th Gear:

I was actually sitting at a stoplight behind a Model 3 and a Mini Cooper last week. Panel gap issues are overblown. Tighter than the Mini. The 3 does look a little plain in person though.

The Nano is an engineering triumph, and the Chiron is an engineering stunt.

It has seat belts! And they look like they function. That’s more than you can say for some cars:

I think at $2500 new, it’s not even pretending to.

You think so? I don’t. Either way, Cannon Beach is only the most accessible-to-Portland beach with giant, gorgeous geologic formations. The Oregon Coast is all public land and has 83 parks on it, stretching 360 miles.

Did you go to Cannon Beach, Crater Lake, the Wallowas, Steens Mountain, or the myriad forests we have? The video really is only slightly exaggerated over reality in those places.

I don’t think it’s supposed to be profitable. They probably just realized people were buying and returning these tools all the time since they couldn’t justify keeping them. so they designated one set as the rental copy.

That engine rebuild stuff just intimidates the hell out of me. One wrong move and... oops I need a machinist. Or oops I need a new head. Or oops I need a new block.

They all drowned at the river crossings, you have to hoof it the last few miles.

I didn’t see a single ox in that video. How do they expect me to get to Oregon?!

Oregon fucking kicks ass. Go there if you can - check your preconceptions at the door, and just enjoy it.

That was gorgeous. But did he get dysentery?

two 12 pack a week LaCroix habit

Yeah, my office has a machine which produces it. We also got a SodaStream to curb our two 12 pack a week LaCroix habit. So it’s basically all I drink.
