If you read the Harvard article, you’d see that it states that when you factor in production costs (not just transportation costs) it often costs less on a weight-moved-per-distance basis to ship something from another continent than it does to truck or fly it from somewhere closer (e.g. lamb grown in New Zealand and…

I recently had a really tasty variant that included rosemary - would definitely recommend trying that if you like palomas and herbal notes in your drinks.

“If there’s anything I can do for you, just squeeze the wheeze.” And a bit more timely, if less on-target:

Teams aside, the Baltimore-to-San Diego transition will do wonders as well.

Even if the one above is not it, given that the Guinness record for longest noodle is over 10,000 feet, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to learn that you can buy some sort of 50-100’ single noodle (probably in Japan).

Yes, I’m *that* guy today - I appreciate the sentiment but there are at least seven noodle ends clearly visible in the photo.

Sure, but given current player salaries, I doubt that any local businesses can pay enough to make much of a difference (especially when compared to a state with no state/local income tax).

Yep. Their family owns something close to half a million acres of land. 

At this rate, I think I’ll hold out until they figure out how to incorporate a microwave and food processor. I expect that model will be available sometime next year.

I was actually surprised at how cheap some of the rentals at my local HD were - a 20V cordless drill was something like 12 bucks per day, and that’s in NYC. Of course if you’re going to need it for a week or more you should just buy one, even at that rate. Have the prices you’ve seen been higher, or less worthwhile…

Best to put him in front of the net, I guess.

The start of the playoffs is as good as time as any to push Recep’s buttons.

No, I think we’d all like to be flexible enough to stare at our own assholes (although maybe not directly after passing gas). And who doesn’t like naps?

Using a food processor to mix minced and cooked herbs with four ounces of goat cheese sounds like a bit of overkill to me (especially when you factor in the hassle of cleaning it). A small bowl and a fork or spoon should do just fine. Otherwise the recipe sounds great.

I agree that if you feel an expensive wine will be wasted on you it is better not to drink it, and that *ideally* a host should ask the guest if they want to open the bottle they brought (in addition to what the host served). That said, if they don’t offer I would be very careful (and you probably are, no sarcasm here…

If the host picked a particular wine or wines to go with dinner, IMO they shouldn’t be obligated to serve something else. On top of that the wine the guest brings might not be at the optimal temperature. I see it as a gift and the host can do whatever he or she wants to do with it.

What planet do you live on? Cheap != poor/middle-class. Rich people can be just as cheap as poor ones, and are often more so, especially when it comes to a choice of whether to subsidize the lower classes (even when they can well afford it).

Yep. Shipping is a big factor too. I was just reading that NZ lamb consumed in the UK has a lower impact than lamb grown and eaten in the UK, and wine shipped from France to NYC via ocean liner has a lower impact than wine grown in CA and trucked to NY. Do you have a link to the Columbia blog post? I skimmed the linked…

I would much rather pay to see a HAPPY!-Thor crossover than this.
