  1. Followed by him making it worse, declaring success and his supporters emphatically agreeing.
  2. I don’t understand. There’s not a single flag, insignia or emblem on those Ukrainians. How are we supposed to know they’re patriots? Can someone link me to their Facebook accounts or Twitter feeds to verify patriotism?
  3. I’ve got round Jacob Bromwell. Love it. Like you I’ll usually finish in a day or two. Frankly if I’m using a flask I’m also not going to the top shelf and most likely have tossed it in my golf bag on a cool day. Back to the flask, it’s solid copper and develops a nice patina and unique character. A few years ago they switched from made in the USA to an outsourced manufacturer. I say that to say the current listed prices are often steeply discounted (say 70+ %). If you’re interested and willing to keep an eye on it I’ve waited for those sales and then loaded up so I can pass them out as gifts because they’re great at $50 - 70 even if $300 is crazy https://www.jacobbromwell.com/collections/prestige-copper-flasks
  4. Has to be some kind of record right? Wordle 243 X/6 🟩⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩
  5. The distinction I see (and I’m very much for more gun regulation) is the ability for a manufacturer to infer whether criminal activity is occurring. People collect guns. They don’t collect opioids. There were supply chain indicators that should (actually did) indicate opioids were being prescribed beyond their clinically appropriate levels. Not sure how that gets established when collecting guns (and using either for hunting or at a range) is a legitimate hobby.
  6. Nm. Can’t spoiler. Lewdle is very surly today.
  7. Well fuck. It’s useless now. Guess you didn’t get a good deal just the factory seconds price.
  8. Today’s update. A bit darker still and maybe a bit more definition of the marbling. Biggest change though is that the liquid that was drawn out and pooled on day 1 has either absorbed or been evaporated. The steak also feels a bit firmer. This is the second side (last shot above) so it’s essentially shows the brining progress over about 30 hours whereas yesterday’s post was over about 3 or 4. Just breaking free from work so I won’t be cooking tonight. They’re vacuum sealed and ready to go or freeze.
  9. He didn’t declare winning the war on Christmas until last December so….
  10. Then about 3 hours later I flipped and did the same brine on the other side. Surprising change in a short time. Noticeably darker and the marbling is more pronounced. Below is the second side which is pretty close to the original above. Also if you’re concerned that there are only 4 steaks despite having 7 free days, don’t worry I picked up a couple wagyu picanha as well.
  11. This morning Mrs. Brown Water left for a week long girls trip. My first act as a temporary bachelor was to stop by HEB to stock up for the next week. They had some good prime t bones and ribeye on sale so I picked them up and got the dry brine started. I’ll be working from home most of the week so I should have a chance to document progress. I’m a big proponent of salting well ahead of cooking and thought it might be interesting to show how a steak changes over a couple days. Below is around 10am. Brine is a combination of fine (which I think acts like a primer) and course (but more like kosher than the usual size) Himalayan pink salt.
  12. Feeling pretty good after a guess 1 shutout Wordle 213 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  13. Not north but Hal Martins in Galleria area
  14. Thinking black people are getting preferential treatment may be the best way to get them to demand a vaccine now. I’m sure that isn’t his intention though.
  15. Side by side with either of the above GO is on the next level
  16. Totally agree. Found the Tonda GT when looking for an integrated bracelet sport watch. Despite its history the GP Laureato just feels too derivative. Landed on the Tonda GT as a Nautilus alternative and, neg away, the RO hasn’t ever really done it for me. Also I’ve got a bit of a contrarian side that steers away from the mainstream choices. Only complaint is that on the sports dress continuum it skews toward the dressier side. Separately I really don’t like the new Tonda PF which is virtually identical other than the minimalist dial. YMMV.
  17. Interesting. I’ve always had mixed feelings on GP. My first really nice watch was the WWTC chronograph which I bought in 2010. The complications are pretty amazing, quality is great and first look it’s aesthetically pleasing. The problem is it’s so busy than it’s hard to, you know, read the time. Anyway like my other high end watches it’s a marker for a career milestone so I’ll probably keep holding on to it. Essentially this but on a steel bracelet.
  18. Hang on. If purple means not in word what does gray mean? I’m having what color is this dress flashbacks Anyway… Wordle 209 3/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  19. In related news he’s engaged the law firm of Samberg, Timberlake and Gaga who will likely invoke the “It’s Ok” defense
