  1. My best friend likes Rob Roy's with laphroaig, which is fucking gross. In the 15 years I've known him every single time we go out to have cocktails he has to spend 5-10 minutes telling the bartender or waiter the same fucking thing and it usually goes like this: "I want the same exact drink my friend just ordered, but exchange the rye with laphroaig." "It's literally the same fucking thing he just ordered just make it laphroaig." "Yes, I'm serious. Bring me the fucking drink." "What do you mean you don't know how to make a rob roy. He literally just told you 70% of the ingredients."
  2. Replacing PK with Muschamp is a fucking coup. I think some of you forget we have a legitimate claim to the moniker of DBU. For us to finish is 102nd in pass defense is unacceptable and not our standard. We used to fly banners over the stadium for that kind of shit. Also - sadly, 90% of bartenders will fuck up a manhattan unless you explicitly tell them how to make it. If they don't make it with rye, they put in the wrong fucking vermouth, forget the bitters, or figure out some other way to fuck up a drink that only has 3 ingredients. 4 - if you count the cherry and they usually fuck that part up as well.
  3. Baker is going to Tulane if the job is offered. He sees it as a logical next step in his career. He's a family member and has said as much.
  4. Never seen this one. Mind sharing the model no.?
  5. The title is self explanatory. I don't know shit about fuck when it comes to cruises so any tips, discount codes, strategies, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Glenn
  6. Is that the chick from the Coldplay concert?
  7. Shit, I might get one of those to keep my golf stuff in.
  8. Same here. Actually putting my thoughts about quitting into a message for a bunch of strangers on the internet to read was oddly freeing and honestly step 1. In the same breath, those strangers also helped me realize I wasn't alone. Thanks assholes!
  9. Checking In. It's officially 6 months of sobriety today. Finally starting to feel like a million bucks. I'd have a celebratory steak or something but I've run into food tolerance issues of late. On the plus side, I did a bunch of bloodwork and all my levels are normalizing and my cholesterol has dropped through the floor. It's nice to see some quantitative evidence of how sobriety helps. Glenn.
  10. About fucking time. Will be nice to finally have a true goal scorer on the squad instead of relying on every other player on the pitch that isn't Kai Havertz.
  11. Did grad school at the LSE and spent a bunch a time around that area. If you need restaurant recommendations for the area, pm me.
  12. If you've ever met him in real life, him being a cat person would make a lot more sense. Tall, gangly, unkempt hair, and an unwashed Radiohead t-shirt screams cat person.
  13. Ha! These fucking guys never learn.
  14. I figured I would post an update as part of keeping up with journaling exercises, which I've been slacking on. I've lost track of time a bit on how long it's been since my last drink but I guess that's a good thing. The cravings come and go but that's in large part to due to some of the anxiety issues I've still been dealing with. The therapist I was working with was kind enough to bring in Dr. Francisco Gonzalez-Lima (her husband) to one of our meetings to discuss what he thought might be happening. We spent an hour and half discussing how the nervous system works and how he believed I was using alcohol as a coping mechanism for a deeper seeded anxiety/panic issue I've likely been dealing with my whole life but was never diagnosed with or dealt with. Once I had the panic attack in October 2024, I started developing safety behaviors due to the cessation of alcohol, various medical ailments, and other GAD/PD symptoms that were never addressed. That was one of the most informative and helpful conversations of this whole ordeal over the past few months Dr. Gonzalez-Lima was able to get me referred to one of his partners at UT to craft a PD/GAD treatment plan that they both feel will be highly successful and their data supports it. If anyone else is dealing with anxiety/depression issues associated with sobriety, I'd encourage to look up the work by both Dr. Michael Telch and Dr. Francisco Gonzalez-Lima (both longhorns) in order to get empirical information about what you're dealing with. That's the first step they both make you do if you decide to work with them anyways. I will say that despite having some really good days and some very bad days, my will to not drink is growing and as I become more informed about what is going on with me physiologically. Now that there's a plan in place to help with the mental side of things, I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. Please see below for info about Dr. Telch and Dr. Gonzalez-Lima and make sure you are taking care of your mental health. Stopping drinking is hard enough but you wont realize the amount of pieces you have to pick up. Keep fighting the good fight.

  15. Might be the most vowels I've ever seen in a players name.
  16. You don't work out you lying fuck.
  17. So were most of the people that post on Surly.
  18. Have fun finding something else to do with your Saturdays this fall.
  19. Quick second post. Forgot about double quoting. Yes & no. That's why I did caveat my statement by stating they are proxy data sources and not raw data sources. Comms, regardless of any level, are notoriously worse at introducing truth bias (I.E. people trying to use twitter data for multiple years only to realize it was just a bunch of bots). From a data science lense, it will all boil down to the EDA, data quality, methodology, etc.
  20. I get it. Was just passing it along from a super senior data science practitioner that's also worked in fintech in the past. In fact - I was one of the people summoned to DC by the newly founded CFPB to talk about fintech underwriting & business practices. Bear in mind the CFPB intrusion was warranted by this particular business but that's a different story for a different day.
  21. That's a fools errand from you data science team. Supply chain data is laggy and non-deterministic at best. They need to be looking at market level, proxy data, looking at the correlations of the industry the business is in to the demand signals for their products, and building derived variables to supplement the credit risk modeling they're doing.
