You like what you like. You do sound a bit on the obsessive side so it’s probably a good thing that you took a step back so you can just enjoy a cold brew. I’ve never been one to do “Ale Trails” or the like so I’m perfectly fine just buying a case of Deschutes Brewing beers and drinking them on the back deck. 

Eva Gabor was wonderful in this. The pig was named Arnold Ziffel, right?

I think it’s a certain age group of Americans because I sure as hell have seen a lot more Blackadder (all of it) than Mr. Bean.

Takeout [no relation] fried chicken. It’s not all that unusual for cats to like chicken but the intensity of his response once he gets a whiff of a bucket or bag of chicken being opened is amazing. He will absolutely end you if you don’t share.

Now that you mention it, that was a thing but I don’t remember doing it to a pot that I made. Some people just put it in their cups. 

Tesla was also early so they profited from selling emissions credits to the large manufacturers. Those manufactures are now moving in to the EV space so they won’t be doing that as much anymore so other EV startups won’t have that early profit center. 

Nobody who matters will read this but reality has never stopped me before and it won’t stop me now. I used to have Jalopnik white-listed in my ad blocker then the ads became so intrusive that the page wasn’t even legible any longer so had to enable the ad blocker again. If you make the advertising reasonable then…

I didn’t drink coffee when I was in the Navy, which was a serious aberration, but I did have to make coffee and it was made so that it was strong enough to put up a good fight.

I find it interesting that neither of you actually sat on the couches before you bought them to see if they were comfortable for you. In our last round of furniture buying we tried a lot of couches and a surprisingly large number were awful to sit on. 

I’ll buy it. Of course if they were my dad they would just pack all 4 kids and his wife in a standard cab long bed. Oh, and make it a four speed manual so that shifting in to reverse requires everyone to try to move. Seat belts? Who needs those? 

That’s actually more useful looking than what I thought it was going to be. The market has declared that it requires trucks to have four doors so that’s about as good as it could be.

I’m guessing seating for 5 with a 3ft. bed. 

So basically this is a P.R. thing for United, right? Nobody seriously expects anything to come from this. 

So we still need a solution to ordering lunch in for an office, if that ever becomes a thing again. When I first joined this company it wasn’t really a consideration but then we gained vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free adherents, dairy-free adherents, etc. so just ordering pizzas was no longer an option. We’ve gone…

Great, so now we’re going back to people who parked an $100,000 SUV in the parking lot lining up and blocking the aisles so they can get a piece of buttered toast. Yay?

My wife usually wants to go someplace different for every meal, but if there’s a place I really like I’ll make sure we go there a few times and she’ll go along with it. Once when we were in Maui we went to the same place for dinner 3 or 4 times. Of course the next time we went it was gone. It seems like in touristy…

IPAs have a wide variety of taste notes depending on the brewery and the hops used. I’d say that grapefruit is more common then lemon. If you got Pledge then I’d say that’s not a “good” local brewery. 

Kinja is kinja-ing extra hard today. 

Summer is the time for IPAs and I do not care about the whining because they had the misfortune of being popular. Get a good local brewery’s IPA with a citrus note to the hops, and enjoy. 

I’m a big fan of stinky cheese with Stilton as probably my favorite.
