This. Whatever he’s like personally, his foundation - which, Jesus, Jezebel, do some research before you casually dismiss the Gates Foundation - has done an incredible amount to transform living conditions in the developing world.

It may be because I’m super-old, but one of the first things I remember about the Gates Foundation after it formed was all the mosquito netting it provided to countries in Africa and its dedication to family planning. This isn’t just another Bezos, folks, even if you do not like the man.

:slow tempo, minor key music starts:

The BMW version is significantly better looking IMO.

That joke was barley adequate... a little rye, but at best only 51% corny. 

This. I buy a (good quality, whole egg) mayonnaise and stir in freshly microplaned garlic and maybe a little extra lemon juice far more often than I make aioli by hand. Nobody’s ever complained. Life’s short, time is a finite resource, y’know? 

Came here to say this. My metal french press has taken over all coffeemaking tasks in my home. I have a regular coffee maker for when I need large pots, but other than that th french press is the way to go

As a longtime bartender and doorman you are preaching to the converted. 

I think that they are more talking about how it was trendy to put it kn everything for a while which I fucking hate. It will say it on the menu and I just die.

Chemex filters are the only thing that separates it from other pour-overs. It does a fantastic job IMO, it’s not everyone’s preference though. It for sure is placed on a pedestal in the coffee world.

The French press was our go to (for cold brew) until we found a pitcher-like product with a built in coffee basket. Fill it, toss it in the fridge and let it do its thing over night and you have a few days worth of cold brew ready to go!

Diddler Retreats also one of the jaegers cut from Pacific Rim.

Who does George Soros have to fuck to get a little hate around here?

I’m fully vaccinated and I might wear a mask forever. This past weekend I went to my sister’s wedding where the vast majority of friends and family were vaccinated. So I thought, I’m mask free. Now I have a cold, my sinus hurts, my head hurts and my nose is a faucet. If all I have to do to avoid this regular misery…

Best piece of advice my mom gave me was “you can always take more, but you can’t take less”.

My drink of choice was Scotch, thanks in large part to my buddy Keith’s dad not seeming to care that his son was raiding the liquor cabinet for party night. Never fell in love with beer. Except for the kind of porters and stouts that are the color of a clear moonless night in the middle of nowhere. If I ever fall off…

Alessi should have known how difficult those cars are to drive with a throbbing erection.

Benoit? Balls?

C’est le grand prix.

No Apple couldn’t. People don’t buy Nintendo products for the hardware specs. They buy them for the games and the innovation. Apple can’t replicate that. No other company can, really. No company has such a consistent track record with their first party games.
