It’s huge. Lots of small craft breweries have very limited one-off brewery only releases that never make it to stores. You’ll see folks waiting in lines hours on end for special bottles/cans, and they’re often flipped on the internet for big profits. For certain things, you’ll see $50 bottles sold for north of $1,000,…

It’s a big deal in the craft beer world, and it’s equally annoying. 

Ugh. Air travel sucks. 

Did you know: in addition to penning the McDonald’s “I’m Lovin’ It” jingle, Pusha T wrote the Arby’s “We’ve Got the Meats,” sting. He owns 40% of it apparently, though only got paid once for the McDonald’s one. 

I think there’s an autocorrect issue in an original comment. Delicious Vinyl is likely Vintage Vinyl in the Delmar Loop. There is no Delicious Vinyl in St. Louis. 

We have a Mission Critical one and while I love it, our 4 month old demands to face forward and see the outside world, unless she’s sleepy enough to nap on me. The way the Mission Critical one fits, I worry about how wide the crotch-zone is and her hips, so it’s on hiatus until she grows. We also have an Infantino one…

As a St. Louisian:

Those exact sandals are also one my most recent Amazon purchases. I managed to give myself plantar fasciitis because we got one super nice day in Missouri and I greatly increased my running mileage all at once because running in nice weather is much easier than running at nearly 100F. They’ve become my go to “house…

Ding ding ding

This is great, thank you. 

I actually like The Ringer, but up until now only paid attention to the pop-culture side. I have listened to a couple episodes of their podcast (and subscribed to The Flagrant Ones!), so I’m glad I have external verification that it’s good content. I also found this:

As a non-NBA guy, the off-court stuff prior to this season has been more than enough to get me to pay attention. This seems like a thing to start watching. Thing is, I’ve never watched any professional basketball.

While they presumably scrape all your data for everything it’s worth, Slice does all this stuff automatically in one single app and does pretty robust notifications for it. It’s a trade off, but it’s sure convenient.

It’s not an unheard of technique:

There’s a local restaurant that does cacio y pepe scrambled eggs on their brunch menu and I’ve started doing the same at home. Hard Italian cheeses (whatever is in the fridge) with lots of black pepper is great in eggs. 

My dad loves sambuca, but always partially cuts it with vodka to tamp down the sweetness.

War has changed. 

In n’ Out Burger is solid. Back before the modern “good” burger chains popped up (Five Guys, Smashburger, Shake Shack, etc.) my assumption is that they were revolutionary and truly a step up from readily available burgers. These days their greatest strength is still having really well done simple burgers, but at a…

This is accurate and what actually matters in this segment. 

My dad upgraded to an X last year and had zero issues with the gestures. Anecdotal, but still.
