One of the requirements for bourbon is the mash must be at least 51% corn.

I’m sure those folks that took the Louvre aint waiting on no manager to unlock deodorant at CVS.

I asked a buddy that works at Amazon about the outage and he pointed me to this article.

I know quite a few people who currently work there and pretty much all of them are trying to leave.

Hol up, DS is now old enough to be considered retro‽

Why does my back hurt so much?. Unrelated I’m sure.

A person I know (and don’t particularly like) created a start up on this idea a couple of years ago already. It’s creepy AF.

So far…

Actually yeah, that sounds rad af

The design and building of authorization policy systems. And crypto (as in cryptography as the word originally meant) but that one tends to be slightly more common.

A buddy of mine and I used to play this game where one of us tried to think of an absurd metal concept and the other tried to find a band that actually fit that description. The game ended the day that the challenge was Maori folk metal and we discovered the band Alien Weaponry. At that point we pretty much decided that there must exist a rule similar to the internet’s rule 42 along the lines of “if there’s a genre of music, there exists a metal subgenre influenced by it.”

I was openly an atheist in highschool (early 2000s). Death threats weren’t sent, they were spoken to my face

It has now been officially confirmed that he is in fact dead.

I think I had to step away for a few minutes after that

It’s pretty different from the other games listed so far, but I’ll toss it a recommendation for Oxenfree. At least for me, that game did oppressive creepy atmosphere better than just about any other I’ve played. When it first came out we were dealing with a massive heatwave and I would be shivering while playing it in a 100f+ apartment.

An older one I always really like as well was the very first F.E.A.R. game.

It’s an affair for sure.

That’s just sort of how I roll. The BBQ was what I was already doing when I answered the question so if a buddy of mine hit me up and was like “hey, what’re your doing? Mind if I come and hang?” I’d just be like “bring your appetite.”

Came out great too.

We’re BBQing! I’ve got a couple of nice tritips and some some sausages from the local butcher, freshly harvested corn from a local farm, and I’ll make some garlic bread. I’ve got a few beers from my favorite local brewery, an unopened bottle of eagle rare 10 year, and can break out a couple of nice cigars if you’re in to that.

The temperature on my back patio is a nice, comfortable 77f with low humidity and just enough of a breeze.
