How heinous does a viewpoint have to be before any sign of support for that viewpoint, nuanced or not, is fairly lumped in with the propagators of the viewpoint? For me, I don’t really need to hear this dude’s nuanced position on Pizzagate. I think it’s completely fair to put this guy in a “little box” over his views…

Interview was really hard-hitting.

The bottle has a specific value set by the market. I was referencing the perception of actions in relation to the general value of the thing, i.e., the market value. When someone acts in a way that is at odds with the value of something (off-roading in Ferrari, washing floors with a cashmere sweater, mowing the lawn…

It’s just a very expensive bottle of scotch. The 2 oz of scotch you used is worth about the same as a whole bottle of cheap scotch. Just seems a little aggressively wasteful to me. Like when people light cigars with $100 bills. But fuck it, your stuff...enjoy it however you want.

Her picture caption, which doesn’t display well on my browser (light grey on white), changes nothing that I wrote. Free to you does not equal no value.

Ahh. I didn’t see the picture caption. Being free to you doesn’t make it a whole lot less silly though. Keep it for guests if you don’t like it straight.  

I would never be offended, but using Macallan 15 yo fine oak (as shown in the header picture) in a mixed drink is a bit silly and a waste of money. I’m not sure most people would be able to discern the difference between a high ball made from JW black ($40) and Macallan 15 yo ($100+) given the dilution from the ice…

This is a good article and I think Americans would benefit greatly by adopting some of these philosophies.

How horrible of a person does a politician need to be before any support for him is indefensible? Because there has to be a line, right? Suppose strong evidence emerges that a politician is a mass murderer; would voting or support for that politician be bad? Where is your line?

I don’t know. I’ve heard his skating has declined a bit over the years.

It’s crazy. Almost every school, even small ones, have a historical roster for their sports teams on their website. I probably wouldn’t even bother checking, but one time a dude “played” at a school where I knew a guy that played during the same time. I mentioned his name and got that deer-in-the-headlights look and a…

Nice article.

Alternate Headline: Why dressing casually is worth the comfort.

My godfather is also president of one of the largest syndicates (think distribution, loans, gambling, and racketeering). Don’t want to tell exactly for obvious reasons. He still drives a Cadillac because fuhgeddaboudit.

I don’t like food snobbery either, but not wanting to eat at Olive Garden doesn’t have to be snobbery. I mean, I’ve had decent food there and eating there once in while isn’t bad, but I wouldn’t choose it myself.

This lawsuit is just trying to “disrupt” the market.

Whatever you say, Madoff.

Would Guentzel, Rust, and Sheary look the same playing without Crosby and Malkin? I mean, they certainly look legit, but I wonder if the Pens are hitting on prospects or if their centers just make average players look great.

The Ford patent you mentioned is just a published patent application, which appears to have gone abandoned.

How will that happen in the face of cheap oil and high barrier of entry in the auto industry? Tax incentives were/are put in place to support the policy decision that electric cars are better for society. Perhaps you disagree about the policy decision, but I don’t see a problem with using tax incentives to support…
