  1. Just the other day I was wondering how much "free" services (pickup/delivery) were helping inflate prices.  Take groceries:  I guess there is some reduction in in-store employee headcount if more people are shopping "remotely", but I'm pretty sure net employment is up, and we're paying for it in the sticker prices of food, etc.  I have no idea how that effect might compare to supply chain issues, etc.

    Wet Leg - Moisturizer

    I'm bordeline obsessed with this band.  They just have "it".  I want to see them tour with Little Simz.

    I don't care about basketball nearly so much as I care about rock 'n roll, and that right there is a master fucking class.  It's one of my go-to videos when someone asks something stupid like "what does a great frontman really mean?" or "what exactly does it mean to be a rippin' live band that isn't exactly tight as a duck's ass?".  

    How's our men's basketball team doing?

    I have a lot of dried peppers from the garden this year and plan on making some powder. A few questions for yall since google has failed me and also makes me ragey with the complete idiocy posted all over the internet about chili. 

    I have dried chipotles, anchos, and cayennes. Should I just say fuck it and blend them all together or keep them separate? 

    If I separate them, which order should I dump them in? I learned from you guys to add cumin late in the cook and that has made a positive difference. 

    I'd keep them separate just because of the radically different heat levels.  Step your way into the amount of chipotle and (especially) cayenne and take notes on the final blend.  After that, I see no reason not to make your own personal pepper blend, but those heat levels can vary from plant to plant and even pepper to pepper.

    I have never seen any rationale for staging the addition of peppers throughout the cook (like cumin as you alluded).

    Probably his most recognizable song outside of Texas:

    I loved "Texas".  I never knew "Fool" was the same guy.  VERY different sounds.  RIP, Mr. Rea.

    9. the bestiary- castle rat: fantasy/doom metal. great riifs, killer vocals, a really great sounding album. 

    My CEO is related (either niece or 1st cousin once removed) to their singer.  I went down the rabbit hole on their videos.

    Viagra Boys are great.   I didn't get super into this record.  Need to give it a few more times.

    I'll admit I wasn't blown away by the first things I heard out of them, but they treated my daughter's band with great kindness and respect on their tour together.  I'll tip my cap.  (Honestly, I was terrified.)

  8. Randalls has USDA Choice bone-in rib roasts for $8.97 per pound in Austin.  You gotta clip the coupon in the app and sign in at checkout, otherwise it's $9.99/lb.

    EDIT:  fine print says "with an additional $50 purchase", which may not be problematic, although alcohol never applies.

    It's been a good 15 years or so since we last saw him at Gruene Hall.

    I saw him there a few years before that.  A buddy of mine makes one of Charlie Sexton's guitar pedals and Charlie was reuniting with Joe for a few shows.  We got the invitation, "oh hell yes", and watched from the stage left shadows as Joe & Charlie practically ignited the place.  Joe couldn't have been a nicer guy, too.

  10. With regards to Trump shit-canning the ASL interpreter at his press conferences:  please, assemble a video montage of the double-fisted handjob, the microphone blowjob, the "bing bing bing" hand exclamations, the general tiny hand squeezebox movements, etc.
