Never considered this, it sounds quite reasonable to me.

I’m really surprised Georgia is not darker red.

Gonna need a really good “Go Fund Me”

I used to have tons of problems with it but for the last 6 months or year it seems to be working fairly well for me.

That is so incredibly petty. I like it.

The first time I played Scrabble was with an old university friend and his wife. They both fancied themselves expert Scrabble players. Both bright and talented folks and lovely people. I won the game and the last word I played was DILDO.

I have never again played Scrabble again since I figured I could never top that. Also they never asked me to play with them again either.

yup, I’ll take “Things that didn’t happen” for $500, Alex.

the libertarian pipe dream

At home I have a Fellow Ode Gen 2 which I use with a V60 brewer. At the office I have a Fellow Opus (a decent entry level conical grinder) which I use with a Clever Dripper (an immersion release brewer).

My old hand grinders are the Helor 101 and the Knock Feld2.

Back up cameras and 360 parking detection sensors. Heated and cooled seats. Android Auto with integrated Google Maps. New cars are so much better than my old beater.

Getting nice in-ear monitors with replaceable cables is so much better than wireless for me. Great sound quality and they weak link that always breaks (the wires) is now no longer an issue. I’ve had the same IEM now for 10 years and just change the cables every couple of years.

Higher quality electric coffee grinders. I have been using pretty nice hand grinders for years ($100 to $200 range) and while they were good, the consistency and general quality of life improvement gotten from these nicer electric grinders has made a significant improvement in both the coffee quality and my time/life quality related to making coffee daily.

Xiamen, a city with a population of more than 4 million people, is directly across the Strait from Taiwan.

Deep Space 9; Adventure Time, and Gravity Falls

While fucked up, at least Xi and Mao are nominally real (though their particular origin stories and revised histories are also just as made up as those of the religious bunch).

Even after growing up with the deeply entrenched racism of rural Georgia, I was shocked at the overt and outspoken racism of Boston and the area around it.
