  1. I was in G'ville during the murders. 0/5 stars
  2. I'll defer to others here, I haven't been on campus in a couple of years. A lot has changed. I know a couple of kids in school there now and they are loving it. Admission is very competitive. Culturally, Gainesville is/was a liberal bastion surrounded by deep deep red "old south" Florida. If they have a grandparent that lives in FL they can get instate tuition rates. Like everywhere else, a lot of the small local restaurants have been replaced with chains. Have a pizza at Satchels ... it's a 10 min drive from campus, but it's got the old G'ville vibe.
  3. You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... Fox news enjoyers
  4. The visiting team has a buffer of their fans behind their benches. IIRC Otherwise opposing teams are just assigned a section. Up in a corner in my experience.
  5. I read plenty, just not as much as I'd like. I didn't enjoy or connect with it at all. I'm glad you enjoyed it, perhaps try not being an asshole?
  6. I also read all of Clavell's books. King Rat remains the worst book I've ever read. I only finished it because I had read all the others. I hate that book.
  7. Take the metro to Abbess and take the stairs instead of the elevator... good times. Paris is the city of lights stairs

    Wine

    I present you with ... aka Cougar Crack 14.5% and way too easy drinking.
  9. Normally I'd recommend hiring a guide directly, but Context Tour of Muse D'Orsay was fantastic. 5/5 https://www.contexttravel.com/cities/paris/tours/musee-dorsay-tour-crash-course IMHO a tour at the grand museums will vastly improve your experience. Pay experts for their knowledge and passion. You will see things at the museum you would not find or know about in a lifetime of just wondering around looking at placards. In the Louvre skip the Mona Lisa Disney like line. I'd just walk by the passage to the left and take a glance as you walk by. You'll get about as close and even if you wait in line, it's not like you get to stop and take a look anyway... they keep the cattle moving. Where to stay in Paris? we loved staying on Ile Saint-Louis (and more generally you want stay closer to Notre Dame, or at least so I've been told)

    Wine

    I always just assumed it was an allergy getting triggered. French/Italian wines no problem at all, most California wines = stuffy nose and a bad headache. For me I think I'm allergic to American oak and/or it's something they're using to clear the wine.
  11. Fair enough... I saw the movie at an old fashion theatre and the marquee had it listed as 100s not Hundreds... so I guess that's on me. But google it either way and you're in business.
  12. One of things I really enjoy is just sitting down to a movie and being told a story with zero knowledge. I could tell you about the plot, the art style, and the production. But I think it's better to just get a recommendation and go with it. If you need more Google is always there.
  13. Sure, but a fairly unique small budget non MCU movie getting some love isn't the worst thing is it? Maybe just throw it in with the mass market MCU bullshit that we keep getting force fed. Watch, don't watch, I don't really care... Just a recommendation
  14. The Devil's Lettuce encouraged. #Rogue Shop Don't look it up, just go see it. You're Welcome
  15. Check out this asshole. A former State Department contracted officer responsible for diplomatic security was arrested Tuesday on charges that he breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68230079.amp
  16. This line has lived rent free in my head for 30+ years along with "put 220 on the money, honey!" I guess he's gonna meet Jesus at McDonald's at midnight
  17. Lulz, what a stupid take. Just laughably bad. Yeah they ripped off the blues. But they did it better than 98% of the folks that tried and at least they added something to it... Complex composition, nah, just iconic tunes Riders on the Storm LA Women Backdoor man Light My fire LA Women Roadhouse blues End of Night Break on Through Love Her madly Love me two times Yeah, what losers!
  18. Yeah took me a minute too, probably because we're not miserable shitty humans. Also, if you're going to insult someone, just say it clearly like a fucking man. Every accusation is a confession
  19. Usually you pay double for that kind of action, Cotton.
  20. and her BF's sponsors are Budlight and Pfizer... so I'm not seeing it.
  21. She endorsed Biden last go round... I do you think that will change?
  22. 8th gen Maxima no idea about reliability, but sportier than you think. 300hp 261tq. Should eat up highway. Should be pretty cheap CTS-V Caddy she's fast and probably loose BMW 3 Series Great little ride that's well behaved on the highway (smallish) buy a good one and depreciation is going to be pretty flat.
  23. You would have thought they could read the signs
