Matt’s was the best place I ate in my week in Minneapolis.

I posted about 15 choices for Dallas and Tarrant counties. Didn’t make the list here though.

Don’t neglect Russian House on 5th st!

If you’re willing to go out to Federal Way, hit Tokyo Ya for some choice ramen.

There’s a gas station up by Bachman Lake that actually has a trompo for their Al Pastor tacos. (Trompo is the Mexican word for the vertical spit that roasts meat like a gyro) I was amazed. The tacos were pretty damn good, and I had to wade through a bunch of Mexican dudes to get my tacos. That’s usually a good sign…

Well... there’s hammers sold.... a box of them show up, accounting for the $500, and all of the rest of the money just poofs into the pockets of defense contractor employees and military requisitioners...

That was the Death Knell for the Flying Dorito from GD/MD. The A-12 Avenger was a boondoggle from the get-go, partially thanks to evolving requirements.

Why incentivize? They aren’t spending their own money. They’re spending our money.

It’s very easy to spend other peoples’ money you know.

It’s always the taxpayer. Always.

Welcome to crony capitalism!

Leaky. But it’ll still be better built than the HMS Theresa May, which will be a tugboat that keeps trying to pull the island away from the European Continent.

So... the Gerald Ford essentially tripped and fell?

You think he asked? Heh.

It’s not immediately guaranteed to do so. I know that he was pretty good about buying the correct gauge needle for the insertion, and I know he used a lot of alcohol when doing it. He then put antibiotic ointment on the wounds and bandaged up for a couple of days.

He did his research and made sure that the “chips” were compatible. He has an RFID writer that he bought one drunken night from China, and any phone with NFC can program an NFC tag. He tested them both before implanting them. I can’t remember the exact part numbers he ordered, even if he went on ad-nauseum about the…

I sincerely hate being charged for something like this. It’s more convenient for both me AND the company, so it’s stupid that they’re profiting off of it.

I just sent him the following text:
Realize this: Your NFC embedded hand is a target that I intend to exploit. It will someday have the URL for Never Gonna Give You Up embedded on it. You have been warned.

A friend of mine has implanted an NFC chip in one hand and an RFID in the other. He uses them instead of his parking and door badges. I keep warning him that I’m going to sneak up on him and change his NFC chip so that it links to Rick Astley’s Youtube video “Never Gonna Give you Up.”

It will happen... oh yes it will.…

I hit one in the small town of Wangen, near the Austrian border. I was set to order schnitzel until the farmer next to me got his braised chicken. It looked amazing, so I had to get it. It was.

That was a fun time. We were the only non-locals there and as Americans, were treated very well by both the staff and the…

I have friends in Indianapolis who swear by both.

And if you ever get near Valpo, I highly recommend Don Quixote’s. It’s Spanish, not Mexican, and is amazing. Carlos is the head chef, and they do game meat on special nights and have amazing tapas.

Go to Ditka’s.
