    Yeah, you’re going to have to point out where the founding fathers were in favors of estate taxes and high marginal tax rates (since income tax wasn’t in place). Post Spanish-American war and WW revenue acts, you can argue, but I’d like to see a period citation that they weren’t for war chests and were implemented as some greater good by FDR and Congress to redistribute income and generational wealth. That’s the history of American taxes. Up at war time then remain in place at times of peace cause the Government has to get theirs.

    William Clark Green?

    Yes. Founding fathers and the colonials loved the Revenue Stamp Act. That’s why it’s the only King George policy they left in place. What in God’s holy name are you talking about?

    I did low carb, not really trying to be in Keto for lots of 2018. Even with morning fasting you probably aren’t in Keto if your a late evening snacker and you aren’t strictly watching carbs. They obviously also contain calories too so you want be in a fasted state. Fat is dense energy so if those calories of whipping cream keep you satiated then I’ld say it’s probably beneficial. I know some triathletes who do bulletproof coffee for that reason (delay days 1st large calorie intake until as late as possible) Over the years as I try to maintain, I know I’ve found Keto snacking is better for my metabolism and daily calories than carbs. A few pieces of jerky or some sharp cheddar is

    ^ Already pretty slim guy at work is claiming 15 pounds down during 2018 with no dietary changes just started taking the stairs on 1/1/18 on any trip under 5 stories. Parking garage and interoffice. Had some crazy number of flights over the year on his watch/smartphone. We called bullshit, but: 5 calories x 25 flights x 5 days x 50 weeks is ~9 pounds.

    It’s scalable across the board. Have to look at your whole integrated project team, not just the grill man. Omelette flipper needs more. Bus boy needs more. Hostess needs more. Shift manager needs more. Dishwasher needs more. Open/close janitor needs more.

    Kind of.

    Funny that comment is mentioned for Nirvana with Coen/Anderson/Tarantino and Foo Fighters a couple posts down. After Foo locked in their sound, ~the 3rd album, they have been pretty one note. Wes Anderson. Great. Pretty one note. Tarantino. Great. Pretty one note. Coens. Great. More versatile than the others IMO, but always have a Coeny feel to shot selection and dialogue.

    Another affect of social media / selfie-culture on ecotourism. Falling deaths are increasing, vandalism is increasing, volume of visitors is increasing - destroying the things people want to enjoy.

    And millions of GOP never-trumpers or at least Non-trumpkins understood it as it pertained to “Hilla-beast”. Meanwhile Gary Johnson is biting his tongue (literally), and asking what Aleppo is, can’t remember Fox or Jung-Un... Not to go to far out on ledge Brisket, but can Mountain Dew Camacho run yet?

    How’s the pneumonic go? Lefty is anticlockwise in Australia which, wait no they’re Southern Hemisphere so Coriolis inertia will be backwards, carry the 1, car is German so that’ll be ISO threads not UTS... Womancalculatingbefuddlement.jpeg

    I want an independent that siphons votes from the other party. Can’t let the other team win. Those mouth breathers are just a cult of personality they don’t care about policy. #bothsides Kane and Kodos throw your vote away.gif

    Ah the disgruntled Gary Johnson voter. You hoping for a John McAfee type or a Vermin Supreme type?

    Mine would be all the classics on “all time” list that I have some interest in watching start to finish, but never made it through without finding something better to do or snoozing. Casablanca, Lawrence of Arabia, North by Northwest, On the Waterfront, etc.

    I’ve never noticed any discernible odor on my cords.

    I don’t always listen to Bill Burr’s Monday morning. But remembered to listen to last weeks this morning to see how he felt about the NFL CGs. Should be high comedy next Monday regardless of how the Pats play Sunday Night.

    It's like what Lenin said... you look for the person who will benefit, and, uhuh...

    Well, it looked like I was gonna be stuck here as far as I could tell I thought I might as well suck up, you know what the hell I said you, "You know that song that Charlie Daniels did About how you went down to Georgia and played fiddle against that kid" He said, "Yeah it broke my heart but you know what are you gonna do I said, "To tell you the truth I thought your solo was the better of the two" ... Some get spiritual, 'cause they see the light And some, 'cause they feel the heat -RWH

    Not to my knowledge. BaaBaa is going with the do 1 thing, but do it exceptionally well model. They closed their regular tap room hours a little while back. We live off of 359 and drive through Brookshire regularly so we were kind of sad to see that. Yesterday was the Resilience IPA (benefit for CA wildfires) launch, only had 1 of the brews, But wouldn’t have known it wasn’t Sierra Nevada. It was pretty busy. I got there early chatted with a buddy while I drank 1 bought my cans and left. They don’t have anything else on their website calendar or Facebook, but I think that model will work for them for a long time. Brew great beer. Keep it supplied around town. Get some canning runs supplied in inventory. Pre-sale. Sell out. Repeat. (That is unless the hazy fad just complete dies in Houston) I know they partnered up for larger runs (their setup is only 3-5 bbls) on benefit beers and special brews, but I’m not knowledgeable enough on that to comment.

    Germans probably have a word for that sensation. Prepared anticipatory excitement of an unknown-known. Fucking Nazis.
