One time rural Miss. teacher. Went to be a lawyer then thought better of it. Now back in education in various forms. Occasional speedrunner. They/Them. Chaotic good.
And not to belabor this, but to op’s underlying point about “killing the industry” this sort of price tiering where a bar can make a killing on high end spirits is what allows them to price other drinks lower!!

Been a while since I’ve had the “I need this ported to literally any other medium asap so I can play” feeling but I’m so happy this game seems great.

I just can’t buy a steam deck just to play this. I think.

I was posting pics of trip: mostly food (ikik), one ‘going out’ pic. Katie,
who I hadn’t spoken to in a decade, liked the latter.

So, a couple of pre-show drinks in I messaged her and asked to catchup.

We met at bar, end up eating/drinking for 5 hours straight. And now it’s been 8.5 years. (2/2)

Has nyt ever stated what their issue w illegal immigration is ?

We know immigrants commit crimes at lower rate, add to economy, etc etc

If it’s just illegality, they should support these legalization measures they decry

If not, they should say what their problem is w immigrants w their chest

Have a strict rule that any interesting new beverage has to have 40-70 calories in it, too much and it’s not worth it to me (ymmv) and too low and they’re almost certainly using stevia monk fruit or some other noxious bullshit

Often hear “if it’s so rare why not just make 18 the rule to stop the anti trans talking point” and my response—

1. Given rarity, think about who would still advocate for surgery pre-18, how important it is to them

2. dangerous to override expert opinion for political reasons, same as eg vaccines

‘Making Mac and cheese is so onerous. First I must mix the water and flour into a dough, retrieve my die cut molds, allow a day to dry….”

Much easier to simply do a simple prime rib with potato gratin

Ariely of course wrote a book on how to detect fraud and later turned out to have fabricated data in his own studies, which he claims he didn’t know about.

But hey he gave a talk at the SEC I was a summer associate attorney about hat fraud book and how sec regs are not behaviorally sound so.
