Reminds me of every single time I ever got involved in any non-profit/volunteer work. It’s the 10/80/10 rule. 10% of people love you and back you up on every decision you make. 80% are lemmings who never say shit, and 10% are haters who’ll never be satisfied regardless of what you do. I’ve wasted way too much time…

I wasn't impressed by Foam Brewers, to be quite honest. 4 NEIPAs that all tasted alike and 2-3 sours that weren't earth shattering either. It's a decent brewery, but kinda overhyped, IMHO.

A million times yes to this idea. And dumplings make a great gift too, especially if you’re giving them to someone who doesn’t have much time to cook. They can keep them in the freezer and pull them out as needed.

Don't worry, we're catching up!

Yeah, but it isn't anything close to the carbohydrate carnage you guys do. 

You know what’s open? Canada.

Re: paying your dues

Vermont blows NH out of the water brewery-wise for sure. HF, the Alchemist, Four Quarters, Lawson’s Finest, Zero Gravity and a slew of others. I’ve been to 3 brewpubs in NH that were good, but not great. Food choices in Vermont are way better, but they don't come cheap.

Agreed. Brining a thawed out turkey on a dirty ass plane sounds like a great way to give people salmonella poisoning.

The Flying Scotsman let one fly.

Yep, driver’s license and credit card is all you need. Some smaller rental car companies will take a deposit equal to the deductible, which can be quite an amount. Some might ask for your passport to photocopy it.

I must admit I’ve never been pulled over in Europe, so I’ve never faced this situation. I got an international driver’s license when I took my first trip across the pond - about 20 years ago - and I still remember the guy at the rental car office who laughed at me when I proudly pulled out that useless piece of paper.

International driver's licenses are bullshit. I've never been asked for one, and I've been all over Europe, including Spain and Catalonia. 

It's good to be proactive and tell upfront what you like and what you don't. I understand that it can "kill the moment", but better that than shitty, unfulfilling sex.

I whip that shit until it looks like wallpaper paste, and I’m not ashamed. Rinsing the potatoes well to wash off some of the starch will help, though.

How can you not like the love child of Youppi! and Ygritte from GoT!

The Habs are a baffling, exciting, heart attack inducing team. They probably scored more goals in the last two weeks than they have all of last season. Their main problem is Carey Price who seems to be going through some kind of mental breakdown. Go back and look at his post-game interview from the Buffalo loss. I…

Two words: Tajin seasoning. It's basically a lemon salt with spices, used to spruce up fruit in Mexican cuisine. I hate mushy apples, I'd prefer bland but crispy apples to sweet but soft ones. Both are better with Tajin.
