It's not that hard to believe that someone in congress making $173k (or so) a year could save up enough money to buy a $600k house without being a sell-out.

I agree. The question is, can Gionta explain how he does that?

The question would be does Gionta wall into the "superstar" category that has a tough time explaining how what he's doing with his shot or can he teach? I'd tend to think a guy that once scored 50 goals (right?) falls into the "I just shoot the puck at the place where the goalie isn't going to be; easy!" camp.

I have a Victory mix pack in the fridge, which I'll forever call the Victory Summer Half Smell Hates pack: Summer Love, Vital IPA, Frisse Wiesse, and Cage Radler. (if you hate Gose, you'll probably hate Frisse Wiesse too!) http://www.victorybeer.com/beers/summer-selections/

I'd call it more trendy than cliche or marketing-based (at least for the smaller operations). I'm guessing there are brewing forums and magazines that will profile some oddball beer and everyone says, "hey, I'll give that a shot, it sounds like fun". I'm always game for something new so I don't mind a bit.

Cost. Any solution other than burying it in the ground would have cost a lot more. This is why we have regulations. As a said above, when profit (or cost) come into the mix, a lot of humanity will screw over the rest if it helps them.

Sadly, I haven't seen them at our store in awhile. My wife told me, however, that the store in Downingtown is the smallest Wegmans in the company one of very few that are in the plaza where they rent space. I'll have to look for the dogs in one of the other larger ones.

You;'d think a guy that does IP subnets on a really regular basis would have caught that.

And a ^4 too! (2^4)

How about Drumpflund?

https://untappd.com/b/anderson-valley-brewing-company-salted-caramel-bourbon-aged-porter/1223753 Anderson Valley Brewing Company Salted Caramel Bourbon Aged Porter. One of those beers that sounds a lot more interesting than it is. I find this is more often the case than not; maybe living somewhat near Dogfish Head has messed with my expectations on this; they make some fine beers (the minutes, Brew, World-wide Stout), but several of their experiments are underwhelming. Interesting on the label, just kind of "eh" while drinking so I tend to think and beer with more than 4-5 words in the name is going disappoint. This beer smells a bunch like caramel and fizzed like pop when pouring (so much I thought it might be a hard root beer or something terrible). Upon drinking, you get a bit of that pop feel with the hard carbonation but otherwise it's a kind of thin porter. I get a bit of the bourbon and roasted malt, but that's it. I'd have it again if I were out, but after I tried all the other interesting beers.

Yep (as am I). I have friends on FB that are friends of his and keep tagging him in stuff. To you point, seems like an over-the-off-shoulder angle would be awesome.

I'm sure the folks over at battsplash.org don't like your examples, either. :) No one wants to be told what to do, but part of living in society is that sometimes you have to accept that you can't always have your own way. I feel that I can drive or ride well above the posted speed limit in some situations safely but that doesn't mean I get to because I'm special.

Over-regulate is a point-of-view. Democrats often regulate more than Republicans (unless it's someone's bedroom). I wish there wasn't a need for regulations, but humans have pretty much shown that if they get away with something they'll try to even if it hurts others in the process.

Or Obama in 2004?

Star Trek Beyond: eh. It's fun and loud and all, but I don't think it's a great movie. I might watch it again if it shows up on Netflix, but I won't go out of my way for it.

Most recent thing (other than technical stuff) has been Game of Thrones, first 3 books. I'm taking a break from it since I can't fall into that much time again right now. I've been getting them from the library in ebook format which means I have 2 weeks to read a book. That takes a lot of me free time for most of the two weeks, and I just can't with work. Ugh. The books are OK, but I don't think I'm getting what the massive appeal is.

I don't remember the Nixon thing (wasn't born), and I don't remember the prices of stuff. Everything else was still around in the early 80s though. A friend of mine had one in the early 90s in Marilla. No kidding.

I agree with the first; there are benefits to society that marriage provides. I'm having a very difficult time thinking of reasons that excluding people has anything to do with that benefit. Can someone help me with a reason that "this man and woman working together in love towards common goals" is superior to "these two people working together in love towards common goals"? I honestly can't get there.

To be fair, Maryland's borders are pretty gerrymandered to start with. What a strangely shaped little state; that one section in the panhandle is all of 3-4 miles thick. I think d4rk's point here is marriage is also defined as "A combination or mixture of elements" (OED) in addition to the two people sense. If I can say, "the marriage of water, hops, barley, and yeast makes a delightful elixir" then marriage doesn't have one, strictly religious meaning.

Red, White, and Blue in NYC is close enough to the Rangers that I'm going with it even if the blue isn't quite right and RWB is pretty ubiquitous. :)
