  1. good doggy
  2. Check out Athletic Brewery.
  3. you say that like it's a bad thing
  4. Yeah. There are some damn fine non-alcoholic beers nowadays, and there have always been great NA wines (aka high end grape juice), but everything I read about NA liquor is... they just seem gross.
  5. The last time I ordered a drink stronger than beer or wine at a bar, Will Muschamp had just been hired as Florida's head football coach, and people were excited about the idea.
  6. Yeah it'd be like saying "Gin martini." Or "Kahlua White Russian." Or "butter pound cake." Or "good hire" when your HFC hires Will Muschamp as DC. Just... redundant.
  7. I really don't give a shit. I'm just sayin' calling it a "rye manhattan" is redundant. I personally prefer bourbon manhattans as well. Never heard anyone call a manhattan made with rye anything other than a manhattan, so it just sounded weird to see someone write "rye manhattan."
  8. aren't all proper manhattans made with rye anyway?
  9. wait, is cd baby enshittified now too? bummer...
  10. it's Ian Boyd. He's the guy Helobius models his schtick after. It's safe to assume that if Ian Boyd predicts a sunny day, you need to bring an umbrella.
  11. whereas the actual numbers are declining
  12. oh fuck we're doomed
  13. Naw. Akina was a fine DB coach, if you run mostly man coverages. He's not a modern disguised-zone guy. He's only bad in that he wasn't able to adapt to the new thing very well.
  14. you forgot the BOOM. there's always a boom. BOOM!
  15. You know how, in political debates, candidates will talk about their talking point that is vaguely related to the question asked, rather than answering the question that's asked? That's kinda what chainsaw is doing; trying to bring a favorite talking point into a topic where it doesn't belong with some kind of vague linking. Incarceration rates and birth rates aren't (yet) related.
  16. but I'm not giving you my Google login, nope nope nope if you show me how to set up the stream I could give it a whirl I'm marginally technically inclined... 😉
  17. See, the rate HAS been declining, but it was made up for by the overall population being higher. What's new here is that in the past few years the absolute number of births is so low. And it's not like Gen Z is small or anything...
  18. They're leaving because they can't fill their rosters. I can tell you in my neighborhood, there's some really top tier preschools that are struggling to get enough enrollment, to the point where they're concerned.
  19. For reasons unrelated to anything, I was in a discussion today and learned that locally, preschools are struggling to get full enrollment. Which reminded me that I'm Gen X and that this can be a problem if kids aren't born. So I looked it up. Kids aren't being born. It's not as bad as that extreme low point, the nadir of Gen X when Nicole and I managed to scream our way out of our mothers' guts, but it's low.Note that this is the absolute number of births, not even the birth rate. Which is as you'd expect. Anyway. Pretty dang interesting to me that the actual number of births is so low. This will have some pretty severe economic implications a quarter of a century from now. But we're already seeing it affect preschools.
  20. This isn't the celebrity death that hit me the hardest, but it sucks in the way Phil Hartman's did.
  21. Kevin Smith talks about how he eventually had to do this for Jason Mewes. Reverse was the issue... he kept on enabling Jay, and eventually had to just... not let him back in.
