  1. Drinking it wasn't so much the issue. It was the once-per-month, 6--7-hour brew sessions in the garage. I sold the big brew rig and ordered the Countertop Model the Microsoft guy was involved in. The first production run took so long that I got out of the hobby, asked for my money back, and used it to buy an induction cooktop for the kitchen. I made the right decision.
  2. Ha, I was doing the sales pitch again. And then I read a couple of posts up. Won't someone buy my memories. See two posts up.
  3. Quite literally a Strummer.
  4. The bar side was nice. The main dining room left a bit to be desired. The food was very good.
  5. "Donald just upped his sleepy-time fart game. Checkmate libtards!"
  6. If that happens, hopefully, it comes down to this.
  7. I don't think there's any rule about this unfortunately. If there is, it's state by state.
  8. I'm going off memory here. Stanley's was a B&M since the 1950s. The Pencis family got involved around 2003 or 2004 and got the opportunity to buy out the partners around 2005. Shortly after they took over, the City of Tyler condemned their pits. Out of necessity, they purchased rotisserie cookers and figured out how to inject wood smoke to cook ribs. Around 2009, Texas Monthly awarded them "best ribs." They won it either the next year or the year after as well. Jon Shaw became the pitmaster sometime in late 2000s or early 2010s and the got their brisket game together in the years that followed along with some big offsets. During the early 2010s, things like the Mother Clucker started showing up. Shortly before that, they added the deck and eventually covered it and added the original bar. They thought about adding a location in south Tyler around this time, but, instead, extended their hours to dinner service, upped their bar game, and started booking live music. For some of those first shows, I was supplying microphones and mic stands. They really put a ton of work, blood, sweat, and tears into getting that place into the machine it is today. Right before COVID, they purchased the rest of the building on their lot, built a really nice bar, and then watched it sit for months during the pandemic. They'd opened up another restaurant called Roast a few years prior and, while it survived the pandemic off and on, it closed when the lease ended. Too bad, it was really good.
  9. What could you expect from a pig but a grunt?
  10. I sold my PedalPower 2 and went with a $30 OneSpot since I was going with Nano boards. It's been great except when I've tried to run the Topanga Reverb off of it. It will power it, but I get a pop from the switch unless I run it on its own power supply.
  11. The invited error doctrine (I'm paraphrasing): you don't have a legal basis to complain of error for which you are responsible. If they can tie back any prejudice toward Trump as being caused by Trump in the first place, he doesn't have a legal basis for that argument. The mob always was smart enough not to overtly intimidate jurors. They'd find out who they were, go up to them during their day to day life outside of court, and try to reason with them to see it the defendant's way. That juror would be afraid for his own, Mrs. Juror's and little Timmy's safety, and would hang the jury during deliberations rather than squeal about it. But Trump's "mob" isn't The Mob, so when he or one of his minions tries to intimidate people, it tends to be in a loud, blundering way, and they get caught and it gets linked to some blather on Trump's Truth social. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Plus, Trump's fixers are kind of busy testifying against him at the moment.
  12. You can run analog pedals off a One-Spot daisy chain all day long. But digital pedals are thirsty and picky.
  13. I assume the defense would move for a mistrial, arguing that Trump tried to intimidate a juror, got caught, and now the rest of the jury likely will hold that against him. The argument for the prosecution would be something like, "You don't get a mistrial for something you created (invited error). They stick an alternate in the slot and move on. That's my best guess for a Wednesday.
