  1. A lot is wrong with Oklahoma right now. It wasn't this bad when I was a kid and my hometown was actually a great place to grow up. Or maybe I was just naive.


    You grew up. I thought my hometown in south Texas was fantastic. Then I went to college and realized it was an utter shithole.

    I am also not sure why they basically had to have a monarchy be their system of government and trial by combat being the way leadership was selected.  It seemed very odd for an advanced civilization to have such a shitty form of government. 

    It could’ve been clearer but it was just a tradition they continued to do but one that was understood to just be ceremonial even though it may have still been technically the law. No one was really supposed to challenge the heir...until someone did.  His sister alluded to it being pointless by asking why they couldn’t skip it and move on with the coronation. 

  3. Green Flash West Coast IPA was kind of the early standard bearer for that style. In the end, it ended up being a footnote after everyone else got into IPAs. I've had a few of their beers but never thought anything was exceptional or worth even revisiting.

    3. The repercussions for losing cases or letting people walk are much more severe than putting the wrong guy in jail. A prosecutor will catch way more heat from their bosses or from political opponents if they lose cases. So might as well put someone in jail for the crime, and if they get out in 10 years because they are innocent who cares, it's never going to blow back on the prosecutors. 

    Our system seems to be set up for retribution instead of justice.  I don't know how we get to the point where both sides seek justice or maybe there shouldn't be sides. I don't know shit.

  5. Did 2 boneless legs on the BGE. Cut them each into 3 pieces along the natural separation spots. Smoked for 30 minutes at 250-300 and then seared until 120.

     

    They marinated overnight in lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, oregano, parsley mixture.

     

    Totally forgot to take a money shot afterwards.

  6. I created a homescreen hyperlink on my iphone directly to Surly so it appears as an app.  The format is superior to Tapa. Try it out.  Open surly in Safari. Click on that box with the up arrow at the bottom, scroll to the right and select "Add to Home Screen".  

  7. It's not my place to judge what they are passionate about but to give them the tools to decide the right way to demonstrate that passion. Sometimes it may be walking out, sometimes it may be staying put.  As long as they are standing up for what they personally believe and not just for appearances to peers/parents/etc, I would be okay with it.

    Just got back from the Drafthouse Village. DeLorean with Ghostbusters decal was parked out front. I presume Mr. Cline was in the building for a private screening (pretty sure he wasn't in the theater I was in).
     

    I was there seeing Black Panther. Took a pic of the DeLorean and didn't make the connection of it being there for RPO.

  9. Has anybody done the Whitefish Bike Park in Montana?  I've never done downhill before and will be headed to Glacier in August and am thinking of giving it a go. I'm looking for intermediate trail at the most since I'll have my 11 year old in tow.  Looking at the trails, it's difficult to get a feel for it.  From the maps, it looks like a lot of the easy and intermediate trails feed directly into the technical trails which seems like a bizarre design. If anyone has experience there, please share.

  10. I like how no media questions this high tech weather balloon technology that can fly horizontally and vertically at hundreds of miles an hour and then vanish from sight.
