I think almost any bartender would recommend 100 proof bourbons for cocktails. You might as well buy OF100 it’s only $8-9 more than 86. Jackie Zykan let it slip once that tbeh blend 8 year distillate in OF100. It’s excellent.

I’m all for Texas playing the top tiers. I mean this is horse poop . For arguments sake. Heck no to playing a Rig 12 Texas school or any of the original members for that matter. We do have Arizona State scheduled a few years down the road, but I wonder if that was done before their jump to the Rig 12? If we want to take up Ketch’s suggestion, we should schedule that P4 slot for someone like a Purdue, Syracuse, Pitt, Virginia and do it with one year contracts to insure its a home game. But no, keep the Ohio States, Michigans, and Norte Dames please. -
Can we haz the center and guards that are opening the holes for him? He’s not even being touched until 10 yards past the LoS on many of those runs. It’s hard to imagine a rb not being mauled right when he takes the handoff, but I have Battered Longhorn Oline Syndrome.

I’m warming on the official podcast. Vince has appeared in every episode and Rhea has been in 2 of the 4. There’s a bonus episode with Helen. It’s an inside baseball look at how they made the show. No theory discussion unfortunately, but still interesting. -
I didn't say you have no control over it. Every addict that recovers and achieves abstinence exercises some control, some choice. But it's not a simple choice of "don't drink" or "drink less." But the top science in the field is that addicts brains essentially "overreact" to the introduction of substances in a way that others don't. And that never goes away. And it gets worse the more you feed it. Corollary to that is, the only cure is complete abstinence, and secondarily, if you resume, your brain is in approximately the same state you left it, so, if you were a bad drunk when you quit, you're gonna be a bad drunk in a hurry if you start back up, even if it's 20 years later. A guy like Sark that has a demonstrated history of bad decisions relating to alcohol. Alcohol doesn't help anyone's decisions, but most people are in control enough as adults not to show up to work-related events shiftfaced. An adult with a high-responsibility job that shows up shiftfaced on the regular has a problem, a lack of control that evinces an addiction. A guy like that is going to have to remain abstinent. If he doesn't, the wheels are going to come completely off.

The last straw should’ve been last week against UGA when at halftime, the Reporter chic asked Sark his thoughts and he noted our running game looked great. When in reality as it’s been most of the season, it’s was dog diarrhea. Beam me up!

Ken Burns: The American Revolution 11/16

Couldn't have been improved on but definitely would have liked to have binged it the first time, or at least 3 episodes at a time. Washington was definitely the real deal. He dealt with that mutiny, and he could have created a dictatorship of sorts, but he didn't. Like that one historian said, I'm not a fan of the Great Man theory, but I feel like Washington is one of a select few that could fall into that category. I don't think anybody else could have done what he did. Gates obviously blew it. Benedict Arnold proved that some things cannot be defeated. -

Holy shit, the Russian should have kept still and not fired, he might not have been spotted. And that drone operator's favorite scene in any movie?

This idea is taken as fact by many people. It was thought up by some alcoholic in the 1930's and is now ingrained in the big business of addiction recovery. I can't think of a more counterproductive way to think of an addiction - or any problem you're facing, than to proclaim that you have absolutely no control over it. Many psychiatrists dispute the idea of "once an addict, always an addict," and feel that it that it hinders recovery. We let murderers rehabilitate and rejoin society, but if you get addicted it's a life sentence.

So one of the open-source intel folks has tried to lay out what they think happened with this peace plan (and remember, Witkoff was not qualified to do this stuff from the beginning) --------------------------------------- It appears that somebody instructed Marco Rubio to go along with the story unfolding and it looks to me that this resulted from the following chain of events. I will lay it out here: Everything points to the direction that Witkoff and Kirill Dmitriev were hammering out this 28 point surrender paper, without informing the US Secretary of State or the Ukrainian government. It contains primarily Russian wishes and unrealistic Russian demands, but Witkoff basically took them over in the list. Kirill was then leaking this Russian wishlist to Axios, well-knowing what it is. Witkoff basically confirmed. The intent followed two objectives. First, maximalist wishlist of the Russians should be engraved cognitively in media sphere for everyone before any pushback occurred. Two, it should test the US government how it would react to the backlash which will inevitably follow. Rubio unaware of the contents of the talks was then confronted by a bipartisan group of US Senators and gave them his answer, which at this moment was truthful. The senators then went public quoting Rubio: “It is not our recommendation, it is not our peace plan.” At this point the US officials in the Trump administration must have started to realize that something is going wrong. As intended the leak totally blind-sided them. They completely lost control of the situation, but grudgingly decided to go along with it. Rubio was then compelled to go public and claim that it was indeed the plan, while watering down that it yet was just the Russian side, with some previous input from Ukrainian side. This is my assumption based on facts I see so far. This whole episode reveals that the current US negotiating team is completely out of its depth and that people involved in this "negotiation“ are absolute amateurs to say the least. Ukraine is well advised to push back hard and not leave any doubts that this surrender paper is dead in the water by countering it with a new peace proposal.
