Precisely. People scream about the ‘08 bailouts, but they really did let the investment banks eat it (skypoint Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns), and they were so far up everyone else’s ass that a lot of the banks paid back the loans ahead of schedule. The regulatory arms of the government are the most functional when…

US Politics simplified:

Yeah, it’s kind of weird the mental gymnastics people will do.

I was able to get it delivered from my grocery store today. I never have to leave the house again. 

I don’t have a problem with drinking, in fact, I’m pretty good at it!

right - our local breweries that have any kind of canning/bottling options available to them are just selling retail from their tap houses.  I picked up a half rack of Black Raven this afternoon.  #supportyourlocalbrewery

Not sure about breweries (we don’t have many local brewers, and I can’t afford the good stuff, anyway), but in my small-ish town I’ve noticed that most of the bars and restaurants are now starting delivery; before, the only places that delivered were the Big 3 pizza chains. Not only that, they’re delivering beer and…

That it would. It’s not a particularly rare combo in the high-end knife world, but this example is:

To be fair, I’d be surprised if Bentley didn’t get the idea from a table or a knife. One of their regulars was probably chatting with the chief of design over some tea & biscuits and happened to mention his dining table is older than Stonehenge, or was showing off his pocket knife made from only exotic materials.

Bog oak and red resin:

While we’re talking tables, I want to make something like this:

Most of the cost is probably in the bespoke body. Carbon fibre isn’t as super-exotic as it used to be, but it still requires expensive molds. Especially for the complex edges they’re boasting about. Those are the money sink. If you’re building 500 cars, it’s a premium but not an exhorbitant one. On only a dozen cars,…

can’t beat some deli corned beef or pastrami sandwiches. Best described by Mitch Hedberg as “a cow with a cracker on either side.”

I literally have no words left for Mr. Koenigsegg or his company. True innovators of this era, unlike everybody else claiming to be. I mean, I just saw the Gemera that’s in the works and I’m in jaw-drop mode. Christian Von Koenigsegg is a national treasure and must be protected.

I’ve only had the queso on a burrito.  It gave it a little heat without setting your mouth on fire, so I liked that.

I love how everyone who is against Bernie immediate points to all his ideas and policies as wanting to turn the country into a poor and destitute, Soviet Russia.

Keep looking, Go to rotary events like Seven Stock or Deals Gap Rotary Rally (DGRR) or smaller local rotary get togethers and start asking around. They exist but you won’t find them on craigslist very often anymore.

Gary Duncan probably buys stuff from them. You could call him.
