I kinda disagree but I do understand that it’s kinda ridiculous when the place is busy and the bartender has to keep going back and forth for an indecisive person. Maybe places should do something like sampling flights where you get 4 pours only they’re like an ounce instead of 5oz or whatever, so you’re not wasting…

Your opinion is horrible and I do not wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I think it really depends on what type of bar you’re at. If they have like, seven beers on tap and cocktail program, then sure. But if it’s a bar that’s selling point is specifically for its beer program then they should let you sample.

I sampled a Strawberry Wheat and found it delicious so I ordered a full glass. Later that day I kept burping it up because of the odd combination of flavors. So your take doesn’t apply in all cases.

I’d like to add, serve at the proper temperature for the brew type.

I have some non menu additions.

I thought that as well. If the friend is generally socially awkward, it could be a badly misjudged “look at how accepting I am!”. Regardless, and as other people have said, it’s bizarre that neither the writer or the wife seem to have told the friend to knock it off.

Jesus Christ. 

These seem like fair sentences for people who likely acted without malice. I get why you, and especially the parents, would call for longer sentences. I just don’t think it’s obtuse to consider the fact that this may have not been caused by greed or willful neglect.

i understand the pain of the families, but 6 and 9 years (i assume they will be eligible for parole before that) is hardly a slap on the wrist. 

Not a dumb question at oil!

I understand the “trying to be as unobtrusive to others as possible, even to stranger”. I do the same. I’m tall, so I try to not block people. I know I can be loud, so I really try and watch my volume. I try to give people room to walk around me if stopped on the sidewalk (and try to stop in a place where people don’t…

I made laminated cutting boards for family members for Christmas a few years ago. Mix of domestic hardwoods like walnut, cherry and maple, with bloodwood accent strips—that sort of thing. Told everyone to wash them in the sink. Went to my sister’s house a few months ago—her board is all fucking grey. She puts it in…

My dishwasher has a third rack with individual slots for utensils. It pretty much guarantees that they do not move, and will not bang into each other. Would you still recommend against it?

Something that’s important to remember, IMO, is that to die-hard Trump supporters who voted for him and think he’s doing a great job, this family separation thing is good. It’s not the bad consequence of a good thing, it itself is good.

Ahh, the original Leisure Suit Larry. I remember the copy protection was that you had to answer 5 trivia questions. If you got less than 4 correct, you couldn’t play. With 4/5 you got to play a censored version, while at 5/5 you got the full-nude version of the awesome 16-color graphics. And since this was the time…

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand contract lounges for budget carriers. The service is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical economics most of the soft product will go over a typical guest’s head. There’s also the lounge’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into the…

Glory Foods is my favorite brand of canned vegetables. Margaret Holmes is another pretty good brand.

I get that a lot when I’m dining with my parents. After I choose & order, they’ll present the bottle to my dad. He always tells them I should taste it instead, but it’s less awkward when the server just asks first.
