Because Utah’s (strong) local craft beer scene is built around lower-strength beer. They’ve spent 30 years exploiting a market niche for low-strength beer. Mid-sized breweries don’t have the capacity or desire to brew and package beer especially for the Utah market, so they’re available, but only in state-run liquor…

Boys will be what you socialize and reinforce them to be.

That range indicator is based on an algorithm of past use and is derively referred to as “GOM” for “Guess-o-meter” in online EV spaces. Which is to say, actual mileage may vary. I drive a Leaf and my home is in the mountain foothills and my office is downtown on the valley floor. So, when I plug my car in at the end…

I am perplexed by the regard people have for Blue Jasmine. What a stilted out-of-touch mess. It was like he found a first draft of a script from the 80s in a shoebox and just went ahead without giving it a re-read first. That’s when I gave up Allen on the basis of quality.

Was “WMDs” taken?

This is genius.

I can not for the life of me understand squeamishness at what happened to a dish or surface before it was washed. Dogs lick our hands, we tie our shoes, we wipe our butts ... and then we use soap to wash our hands and touch our faces and put food in our mouths. Soap works. Dish detergent works. It makes things clean.…

Who are you and why are you dating my wife?

Hangovers. Weekends wasted on hangovers.

I found it, but thank you. And I swear I looked before I asked in my comment, but so it goes.

Oh, whoops. Sorry. I’ll read more closely.

Are this and the Kona available nationwide, or just in the compliance states?

The best way to get me to stop reading your recipe is to list a can of soup, or any name-brand product, and an ingredient.

Seriously, are there any viable co-ed options that, I don’t know, take it easy on the jingoism? I was a Boy Scout, and I really liked the camping parts, but the I’d like something with a little less fascism for my children.

I used to work at a cheesy (pun intended) “Mexican” joint that had a kids eat free policy. They had a decorative wrought-iron cactus kids had to be able to walk through without ducking to qualify. I didn’t even finish my training shifts there.

I like to backpack in the western wilderness, and when I had kids I did a little research on handguns for backcountry bear protection. Turns out, statistically, you’re better off with bear spray. Now, I realize that this is a very specific use case, but no, I don’t need a handgun. Even against a bear.

Can of worms alert: In the daydreaming/early research stage of upgrading to a truck from a Subaru (want to tow a camper, basically) and I would love insight on the Tacoma vs Frontier front. Especially where I live in the Inter-mountain West used Tacomas hold their value INSANELY well and so I’ve been eyeing the…

I don’t know if this a Utah thing, a Mormon thing, or a regional thing, but Anglo culture in Utah (at least) likes to slather this in honey butter and call it a scone for no apparent reason. I was in my teens before I knew what a real scone was.

What if it was my kid? Then we’d have a long chat about how he was a dick and he shouldn’t be a dick anymore because NO SON OF MINE is going to be that kind of dick. My son is only 4, but I already do this. “Hey, buddy, I saw you butt in front of that kid in line for the slide. That wasn’t fair and that’s not how we…

I actually use this all the time. But I got the annual pass.
