  1. My contribution. Blew my mind when it first came out. Still one of my favorite bands.
  2. "There's No Age That You Can't Be Sexy." -Gaetz
  3. It's all part of the plan
  4. He does embody just about every deadly sin
  5. They really do have the worst update rollouts I've seen since PUBG. On XBOX and it kicks me out of starts of games every 4th game, along with all the other things mentioned above.
  6. Easy. You can want/need a police system while still holding them accountable for their actions and ensuring they are providing the service that they were created for in a non-discriminatory way (you know, the whole "defund the police" thing). At the same time, understanding that some of their militarization and paranoia of the populace is due to the fear of being shot by that highly armed populace. A populace where just about anyone can buy a gun designed for military uses. So, as a left leaning lib, I would like to see the police be held accountable for their actions, scope down what they are called out for, increase funds for other resources to assist in situations that police are typically called out for and shouldn't be, and also increase regulation so that those who are not responsible enough to own a gun, can't (registrations, forced gun safety courses, etc).
  7. Loving this stuff, especially in a classic daiquiri. Wild fermented. Cannot recommend enough.
  8. Lol gin and juice comment reminds me of my first gin experience at a college party where we mixed cheap gin with boone's farm strawberry hill 🤮
  9. The whole theme the Defense was trying to build about the neighborhood being a dangerous one is kind of blown out by a picture of a 9 yr old girl laughing with her friend on the sidewalk heading to get a snack at the local grocer. If he was that scared of a neighborhood, why be a cop?
  10. I'm assuming this is the thread for this fucked up shit. Dude needs to be slowly flayed.
  11. Opted for the upgrade package. Kudos to you.
  12. My dad got me a .222 as my first hunting rifle, but then quickly got me a .243. Great hunting rifle to which my dad borrows a lot.
  13. To add: Idlewild is a big rec Rollin Street Bakery Westbound and Down Brewing in Idaho Springs Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park is only an hour away but we also like the St. Louis Creek Trail area in winter park. Sounds like we'll need to have a surly happy hour in May/June as I'll be up there too
  14. Used to hate gin but finding a love of it, especially in a negroni. The Scottish gin you may be thinking about is Pickerings. Their Navy Strength is absurdly smooth. Another Scottish gin I'm really into and more on the dry side is Botanist Otherwise, Austin Reserve is a solid local and balanced one.
  15. How many users? Budget? I'm right in the middle of evaluating solutions for my company and can probably stear you a bit if you are looking at enterprise.
  16. It has been an incredible strategy. Scream about how Government is broken and that only the GOP can help fix it. They get into power and break everything then get to go out to their constituents and say, "Hey! Look! Government is broken and only I can fix it". Rinse and repeat while only supporting bills that allow more dark money into the system along with suppressing voting to allow their minority have the view of the majority.
  17. I'm very impressed with Idlewild in general. I brought back a couple bottles of their Woodcutters and we would get food from them regularly. Fraser has some decent snack foods but doesn't compare. I'll check out the taco truck though. We were having a hard time finding places last year as everyone was still figuring out new COVID rules. Also, if you havent yet, Westbound and Down in Idaho Springs has great food and beer.
  18. I'm really close to Moose Run. Well I'll be socially distancing at Idlewild or Fraser distilling. Maybe we'll run into each other.
  19. Winter Park area. Will be up in Fraser in May & June. We rent a house up on Moose Run but starting to look at property.
  20. Watching this further confirms that reality has jumped the shark. Our species as failed and it just hasn't fully resolved itself yet.
  21. Loyal forever baby!
  22. My parents have been down there for a month, hanging with some winter Texan family. They have been staying to assist with the effort. Pictures have been heartbreaking.
