Well that’s a fucking non-sequitur. What does it have to do with the Root? I’d read it exactly the other way you seem to be implying.

Not exactly. More like, “this thing I keep reading about wasn’t all that great the first time around. I don’t understand why I’m still reading about it 20 years later.”

I don’t even fly Southwest that often and get 8 free drink vouchers per year; they always have 2 free checked bags; priority boarding costs an extra $12.

The good news is that someone appears to be eating her fibre.

You understand that this entire scandal revolves around someone who was the doctor for a college gymnastics team?

Piker. A little ash never hurt anyone.

Beat it youngster. Ride or die with Bartles and Jaymes

I think the US should adopt the UK’s liquor laws and let 16 year olds have beer or wine with a meal and adult supervision.

Yup, not coming to Denver either. I’ll survive.

All this media trying to make a reissue of “Exile in Guyville” into a thing and make me re-care about Liz Phair is bothersome. I was there, in Chicago, for the first go ‘round. It wasn’t really that great back then.

Yea, you have higher elevation land with a better view of the ocean. The insurance company will want you to pay them to rebuild.

Longer summers and all the bears will be dead. If you start buying now, it may pay off by 2040.

Just depends on how processed you want your food to be. I do know that don’t want to hear a bunch of lip from the likes of Ben and Jerry that they don’t have a Halo Top competitor because “that’s not ice cream.”

I hear you. I kind of like that gritty texture though. In part, because all of the additives in other ice cream (have you tried Breyer’s lately? Disgusting) have gotten them to the point where they have the texture and mouthfeel of liquid vinyl.

Yea, Ben and Jerry’s with all their guar gum, carrageenan, corn syrup and other fillers and texturizers can’t really talk too much shit anymore. Their ice cream is still decent, but they gave up the purity claim (both in the product and in their politics) once they sold to Unilever.

More importantly, remember how cute Meg Ryan was before she went all Jocelyn Wildenstein.

Microplastics in water that is going to be used for some other purpose are not a particular concern. Microplastics are much larger than filterable viruses. They are big enough that even a moderate filtration system will catch them—including your Brita. It is fairly easy to filter out 99.9% of microplastics down to…

The (retractable) domed stadiums just aren’t as nice to begin with and don’t age particularly well. Phoenix reminds me a lot of the Astrodome without the history and “charm.” The view is mostly blocked from the concourses which is a huge negative (and was how the Astrodome was). Milwaukee and Houston both tried to…

Erik Prince is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Chinese Communist Party. I don’t think that we can make him a good enough deal to re-start doing our dirty work.

US has been a net exporter of oil since 2011. It’s likely that we have ended up buying Iranian oil directly or indirectly, but it’s no longer needed. Getting shut out of Iranian oil sales won’t make a difference to the US. Iranian production will all go to China and any reductions to other countries will get filled up…
