  1. My favorite litmus test. "Hey, how do those tariffs work anyway?"
  2. I'm not all that surprised it wasn't very spicy, although I don't know much about Thai peppers (I assume they're similar to arbol?). For me, cayenne is a pretty innocuous way to dial up heat at the end of a cook if need be. It rarely takes much.
  3. He doesn't have the tempo control the other greats have, but holy shit, does he have a style all his own and a super unique groove. It's about as close to apples and oranges as one could get. I couldn't possibly imagine a different guy for The Police, and that pretty much puts him on Mount Rushmore for me.
  4. Dan Quayle's political career was buried when he told a spelling bee competitor that he needed to spell "potato" with an "e" at the end. Howard Dean's candidacy was doomed by a 2-second shout. Gary Hart was a notorious womanizer and that derailed his bid for the Presidency. Donald Trump just keeps on keeping on, doing worse things every single day.
  5. You're going to have to include the phrases "smooth-brained", "clown", and "touch grass" (among others) if you really want to maximize your parody.
  6. Yeah, if I were faced with the choice of seeing Billy Strings or Chris Thile, I'd go with the latter every day of the week.
  7. I haven't been to that club level since LSU 2019, but in the main part of the stadium I've bought plenty of shitty Aggie-esque beers for what, $6?
  8. Sting probably disagrees. I'm surprised one of those two didn't kill the other.
  9. He stayed between the ditches with Journey. He showed his stuff later. That said, to your point, his effort on that clip didn't match the original, and he admitted as such. It's kind of an unfair fight, though.
  10. Who's a good boy? Buddy, that's who.
  11. That was your first chili cookoff? Newbie.
  12. Steve Smith is truly one of the greatest rock & fusion drummers of all time. "Monster" is a legit tag.
  13. $1.1M for six months of work. He could do worse. He's never going to be a consistent NFL starter. It was a smart decision.
  14. Oh, I definitely think your path is more common than mine, especially with the proliferation of STEM curricula in high school.
  15. If the bathtub is leaking while draining, that seems like there is a leak in the drain line. Your plumbers didn't think of this?
  16. Dang. Buddy Miller, too.
  17. It's only one data point, but I was set to take a national merit scholarship to study finance at a B1G school. Fall semester my senior year of HS, my dad (an engineering prof) said to me "you know, you're really good at math and you love music and hifi -- have you considered studying acoustics?" It had never occurred to me. I ended up studying mech eng undergrad and then acoustics at UT for grad school (via the mech eng department). I am so fucking glad I didn't study finance.

    Fried Chicken

    I'm not a huge fan of their dry rubs, but those sammiches are damn good.
  19. I think Dando's demons have outpaced his talents, and he's a really talented guy.
  20. I was only able to watch the first half last night. Did we really hang with them in the 2nd half or was UConn on cruise control?
  21. HEB (and even moreso Central Market for selection) kick ass on bulk spices.
  22. Not yet
  23. Gosh, it would be terrible if he were broke.
