To your point, they were almost for sure using a cask-conditioned ale which would have been lower in carbonation to the point where they’re almost flat

Cheesus Christ!

It certainly tastes like a Michelin

I sympathize with the sentiment - been there, done that.  I’m a meticulous caretaker of my (especially expensive) possessions.  I want them to last a long time and I want to enjoy them for a long time.  I really don’t get folks that leave trash in their cars, don’t clean them, don’t maintain them, etc.  It’s an…

“N” is Slugworth

We have one of these Breville ovens and we use it for baking, air frying, broiling, etc. We use it more than our main oven. Far less time to pre-heat and doesn’t heat up the house as much.

Frontline on PBS just released a great deep-dive episode on the 737 MAX debacle.  One of the main take-aways was that Forkner (and the former and current CEOs) are utter pieces of shit
