    Going out to dinner with 3 other couples tomorrow night. My wife and the other 3 were texting on where they wanted to go a few nights ago. 

    I've never wanted to shoot myself in the head after hearing my wife read back the discussion on where to go and why we can't go here or there. 

     

    So there was a 30 minute party (can't remember if it was xmas or halloween) at my son's school that several mom's were planning.  Wife was one of the moms on the email chain about what to do.  to her credit, she was the voice of reason, but one mom was planning out literally 3 hours of activities and crafts and games and wanted a chocolate fountain and lots of other nonsense for again, a 30 minute party.  This woman said that at her kids prior school, they did an 2.5 party and planned out all this stuff.  Not sure why she thought it would all work the same for a 30 party.  i'll go ahead and blame pinterest

  2. Spoiler

    walking around blind would be an epic disaster and everyone would be cut up, bruised and beaten to hell.  no one had (or made) a stick like one of those red and white blind 'feeler' sticks (not sure what they are really called).  something to test the ground in front of you would seem to be priority number two after covering your eyes.  I get that navigating via fishing line is cleaner visually for the movie, but still, everyone in the movie would be under concussion protocol with in 2 minutes of stepping outside and trying to walk around with out a feeler stick.

    Echolocation boy (had he lived) would have been king https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/blind-ben-underwood-update_us_570d729fe4b0ffa5937d6926 .  We needed to see a battle in the far future between the seeing but crazy vs the blind echolocation sane people.

    I liked it OK.  about what I expected a Netflix movie would be.

    Donald Trump is an enemy of the state. That seems like grounds for impeachment and removal from office. He's aiding and abetting our enemies. Willingly or not, he's an asset of hostile foreign intelligence services. Regardless of collusion with the Russians to corrupt the electoral process he's an existential threat to national security. That should be enough. 

    reminds of the bucky lagrange bit from family guy.  maybe not malicious but certainly inept and detrimental to the country

    I set up something like this:  http://www.mrmalty.com/chiller.php when i brew 10 gallon batches and especially lagers

    you need two pumps, but it works really well. 

    - using pump 1, you recirculate your hot wort from kettle spigot to back into the bottom of the kettle. position the hose to that it flows and makes a whirpool around the immersion chiller

    - the immersion chiller starts off using faucet water to get the wort down to around 100F.  Then switch to using pump 2 which takes in water from a cooler filled with ice/water.  Move the return/drain hose to send the water back into the cooler.

    it's does not take too long to get the temp down to 60-65F.

    In place of pump 2, you could just use a (clean) big spoon/paddle to keep the wort moving around the coils.

    "In place of pump 2 pump 1, you could just use a (clean) big spoon/paddle to keep the wort moving around the coils."  typo.  

    I got a new mash tun for xmas that I need to try out.

    I thought that was Sirois's take. (Whoever it was, they aren't entirely wrong. That division has been the worst in the NFL for nearly 20 years. That definitely helps.)

    gagree.  I know Bob had a whole segment on it last week.  and it highlighted that Brady is not that great in road playoff games, which they play few and far between because their division sucks and they can normally get homefield throughout.

    That's latin, darlin'.  Evidently Cheeseweasel and Walden are educated men. 

    How I really hate them...

    I was curious and looked it up.  Here is the translation of the whole scene from https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108358/trivia

    Here is the translation of what Doc and Johnny Ringo are saying to one another in Latin: Doc Holliday: In vino veritas. (In wine there is truth.) Johnny Ringo: Age quod agis. (Do what you do.) Doc Holliday: Credat Judaeus Apella, non ego. (Let Apella the Jew believe, not I.) Johnny Ringo: Juventus stultorum magister. (Youth is the teacher of fools.) Doc Holliday: In pace requiescat. (Rest in peace.) The line "Credat Judaeus Apella, non ego" (Let Apella the Jew believe, not I) was confusing to viewers; scholarly papers showed that Romans used the phrase to show contempt for Judaism's belief that divine power was involved in everyday life.

     

    Along with this little nugget:

    Willem Dafoe was the original choice to play Doc Holliday, but Buena Vista refused to distribute the film if he was cast, due to Dafoe's role in the controversial The Last Temptation of Christ (1988).
