This is something that many people (including me) have failed to recognize. The color or perceived richness of a beer has either very little or nothing to do with a beer’s caloric count. The calories are actually coming from the alcohol so the higher the ABV, the more calories a beer will have. Believe me, I’d love to…

What makes you think that Bud Light possesses the defining characteristics of what a beer should taste like? It sounds like you’re applying a generic trademark over to the flavor of beer. Just because Bud Light and most other mass-produced US beers tend to be pale lagers doesn’t mean that American-style lager should…

Hillary Clinton narrowly won Clark County in 2016. It’s not as solidly blue as either Seattle or the Oregon side of metro Portland but it’s not necessarily a fertile ground for Republicans either.

I can die happy now.

Mediocre dance-pop is mediocre dance-pop. Beyoncé isn’t exactly a crowning achievement of art or creativity.

She misplaced her douche again.

I’ve been able to make a similar style of pizza in a cast iron skillet but in order to get any kind of crispiness on the bottom I have to finish the cooking process on the stove top, and even so, there’s a ring of slightly less browned crust towards the edge of the pizza. I bought a cheapo Detroit-style pan online and…

John Stanier was the force that kept Helmet’s sound intact. Page Hamilton is also a highly talented musician and capable of unique guitar tones in his own right but Stanier’s drums just brought everything together.

To me, the only attributes mayo brings to the party are empty calories and an unappealing slickness. Also, most places really go overboard with their application of mayo. You don’t know how many times I’ve watched triple-D and found myself nodding along with everything the cook is doing right up until the point where t…

So you’re saying he’s a stable geni-anus?

I was actually at the game in 1999 where Mo Vaughn reached the upper deck but I couldn’t remember if he actually did it or not. It was the first time I got a chance to attend a game at then-Safeco Field and I seem to remember thinking that third-level homers would be commonplace since it had happened on my watch. The…

Mayo and pineapple on the same sandwich? Why would anyone think to put those two things together? This is the reason why Drew Magary has to go on lengthy diatribes lamenting over mayo’s slow creep into every little culinary nook and cranny, most of where it does not belong.

I don’t know what country you’re in, but here in the US, the fact that voter fraud is indeed quite rare is constantly brought up, especially when Republicans try to enact laws that could potentially suppress voter turnout.

To be fair, Swarzak has been terrible for Seattle this year, but the M’s just traded him to the Braves in a another salary dump move. They had to take on an injured player to do it but they freed up future salary and provided a divisional rival a potential thorn to New York’s side. Jay Bruce is owed $14 million for…

They still can’t develop young players, and they’re not going to get back into the upper echelon of the NBA until they realize this. 

I hate to break the news to you, but Detroit and Portland both receive similar amounts of yearly precipitation.

I like to do a simple roasted sweet potato with brats. I don’t generally season the sweet potato much beyond oil, salt and pepper.

After Washington State (USA) declared that virtual chips purchased with real money are indeed a thing of value, Poker Stars removed its free platform from the list of games available to in-state residents. Even though Poker Stars users have the option to purchase play chips with real money, they’re not forced to even i…

This cannot be stressed enough. 

If parents are largely legally responsible for their children up to a certain age, then why can’t the mother be responsible for the ultimate fate of the embryo?
