Google, and tech companies, more generally, have done this kind of thing many MANY times before. There’s no way to live-test at commercial scale, so this is basically an infrastructure beta test, not a market test. 

That’s not really how the game is rigged, but I admire your commitment to this bit in the waning days of G/O.

Nikki Haley is an idiot. Full stop.

Sure. Except when PE idiots take over a company and proceed to run it into the ground because the “free market” never let them fail. If the commentariat here could understand how and why the top two blogs were important, yet the “brilliant” capital couldn’t, what does that tell you about the fallacy that the money is…

To be fair, compared to the 13% of men that expressed hesitation to ordering drinks viewed as “girly”, 11% of women also expressed a hesitation to ordering drinks viewed as “manly”. Problems with gender stereotypes aren’t gendered.

Depends on how much pig anus there is in there.

I think those Guatemalan insanity peppers have skewed your take on this. This is the best cam and should be present at every sporting event.

Perfectly played paean to poultry.

I don’t know if you’ve got a go-to stock recipe, but I’ve got one that keeps my cold heart warm on these chilly winter nights.

Which brings us back to the age old question: what is a sandwich?

Supply chains, how do they work?

Well, there’s also the genetic thing. They say that a six-pack is made in the kitchen, and that’s true, but if you’re not genetically predisposed to being a size 2, or if aren’t active, you’ll just end up with an eating disorder.

Uhh...how can you have scarcity with digital content?

I’m all in on Espolon. That’s a quality tequila for the price.

Broadly, I agree. However, I will say that some people just don’t know how things are supposed to taste. I also think that some people are genuinely intimidated by cooking. Like it’s magic or alchemy or something. In a sense, I feel lucky that my family wasn’t wealthy growing up because we all helped in the kitchen…

I’ve heard Mighty O is pretty good, but I’ve not tried them. That said, Krispy Kreme is only good when they’re first out of the fryer, within about 3 minutes. It blows my mind that someone would pay a premium for shitty stale donuts.

Similarly, Michael Pollan recommended a diet consisting of foods you make yourself. Want ice cream? Great! Make it yourself. Want an apple pie? Peel the apples, make the dough, put it all together and, then knock yourself out. That method takes a slightly different approach of just setting the difficulty bar higher,…

That’s fair. It’s easy to get settled into a brand rut (I mean, I buy Nike products and my wife LOVES Lululemon, despite both brands being pretty ethically...uh...dubious). I live in Seattle, so it’s easy for me to avoid brewers like Melvins (mentioned in another comment thread) and I tend to be pretty adventurous.…

So, it’s not really a tough situation, as you never really considered not drinking Founders, then?
