What? You want our favorite liquor to drink straight? I'm not sure if I'm just stupid or that was worded in a strange way. Anyways...

I guess Woodford Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey has been hitting just right lately.

Chokers are basically a blackbelt in sex.

I wonder what kind of money I could get for a baby assassin. She'd be good at it if she could stop herself from farting every couple of minutes. The worst part is they smell identical to her mom's farts.

I miss when PotD was more about threads that got derailed because of idiot savants like Kimbo.

You're right, she has been mooching for nearly 6 months. Actually 16 if you count all that time in the oven. Plus I had gone 32 years without ever being shit on and that streak has been reset twice since she came around. Time for her to move out.

However, Viv did impress me last week when I was holding her while I peed and she puked up a huge load of mucus and managed to hit the bowl perfectly. Only had to clean up a little off my arm!

If I did that, then who would get baby Vivian her cigs? Her mom sure as hell won't. She's still pissed that Viv found out she can blow smoke into one boob and watch it come out the other.

I didn't run on Sunday because I didn't sleep more than 3 hours, but now I've got it down to 100 miles remaining.

Odie was psyched for the run on Saturday and had us cruising at a pace of 8:06/mile for 7 miles. Then he was begging for more so he went with my wife when she got out for a run too.

I'd sue the car manufacturer for making the windows large enough for coffee to be able to be thrown through them. God damn you Honda!

Yeah, the worst heat I have to deal with is maybe 80 in the early morning on our worst days of summer. I have run when it was something like -10 F, but cold is far easier to deal with than heat considering you can only take so much off to cool off, but I can always bundle up a bit more.

I could try running but most of the year is impossible to run in this state. I'd like to tell stories like that.

I did accidently take my niece's cat for a walk in early spring this year though.

Yeah, it helps that I'm in a fairly flat part of Michigan and I live in a neighborhood that if I hit absolutely every bit of road and cul-de-sacs I can eke out 6 miles without backtracking. That way I've got almost no car traffic to worry about and the only limiting factor is weather and my health.

Speaking of, my daughter is sick and has passed that along to me. I am not a fan of running in the cold with a cold, but I still think I can get it done.

113 to go.

I just stole a ring she would wear on the ring finger of her other hand and brought that with me. Amanda had already talked about what styles she liked and what type of metal too so I took that information with me and had a custom one built at a local jeweler instead of a big box one. Turned out super nice and she loved it.

The engagement itself was a debacle because she kept screwing up my plans that entire night, but I was already bound and determined to get on a knee and ask her no matter what. Worked out and now we've got a baby too.

Spoken like someone with little to no knowledge or experience with firearms. It's just a tool. A dangerous tool, but a tool nonetheless. It's all about the user. Just like a car. You can use it to drive to work, or you can ram it into a Xmas parade.
Once upon a time you could order a full-auto machine gun from a Sears catalog and have it shipped straight to your door. No paperwork, no background check, no questions asked. Guess what? Mass shootings were pretty well nonexistent at the time.
This kind of thing happens solely because of our fucked up modern society. The same vapid, narcissistic, social media driven world that everyone has embraced with a death grip. We churn out social outcasts like an assembly line, then act shocked and appalled when they lash out at the society that rejected them. We only have ourselves to blame, but no, it's clearly the guns. Much easier to lay the blame there, than to acknowledge the monsters we've created.

This argument falls apart when you leave the good old US of A. No other first world country has the amount of mass shootings we do and no other country has the access to weaponry that we do.

Actually addressing mental health would help significantly too, but the country also wants nothing to do with that apparently seeing as we don't really want anything close to affordable health care.

811 will get you Miss Dig to find out what's in the ground and mark stuff so you don't blow through a gas line while you dig.

Oxford isn't far from where I live. I've got friends that graduated from that high school and it's so sad to see families have to go through this.

My wife is freaking out about our girls getting older and the threat of gun violence in school. While we both understand it's extremely unlikely to happen, it's impossible not to worry especially when this happens so close to home.

The worst part is knowing that this will continue to happen and nothing will ever change.

Running is good.

Eating well isn't.

Oh god, I don't eat well most of the day. Just try and shove calories down my throat. Tasty, tasty calories.

One time I went to a dinner party and out of the 8 people there 4 were runners. Worst 3 hours of my life.

We are a super annoying people. Something breaks in your brain when you start running where you lose any ability to stop yourself from talking about running despite knowing no one gives a fuck. Also, most running stories involve black toenails or someone taking a shit in the middle of a run.

6.3 more done by 4 AM this morning. 119 to go for December.

I played 4 thinking that was the last in the series. Never really felt the need to play 5 or Ground Zero.

One of the mechanics I work with has rehabbed a couple of injured skunks that he let live in his house for a while. He said they were awesome. Like cats but not dicks like cats are.

Not the first time innocent civilians were dragged out of there housing. horrible.

Is this post in the right topic? I'm confused about who was dragged out of their housing and who was an innocent civilian.

Yankees say hello.

Yankees haven't won a World Series in over a decade. They suck nearly as much as their fans.

Wife and I got boosted about the same time our 9 year old was getting her second dose.

Detroit should be pretty easy to dominate.

Destination is always the same, back home. I did look to see how far away from home my radius has taken me and it looks like I am nearly to Miami, Florida from where I'm at in Michigan.

I also had my dog Odie with me for nearly all of it. He went on a bit of a hiatus when my wife was home on maternity leave and he knew he'd get a couple walks a day with her. The butthead would refuse to come down with me in the morning so I had to run alone in the dark for a couple months.

I do, but not on "Giving Tuesday." That's a stupid day.

He gave up running right?

Something feels a little weird in reaching out to her dad for her number, but you've got a better feel for if it's awkward than we do I guess. I personally wouldn't, but I also nearly didn't reach out when my sister told me there was someone she thought I'd like and I should ask her out. I said, "I'm not that desperate." Then I did reach out and now I married the woman my sister set me up with.

Do what you want I guess.

I started out the year a little slow and it does get hard to run in the winter between trying not to die on ice and having to come in early to plow the snow if it dumps enough on us. Once I started picking up the miles midway through the year I wondered if I would be able to get my monthly average up to 100 miles and I've gotten close enough I think I can do it if I push a bit during December and if the weather helps me so I don't have to come into work at 2 AM so I can get a 10k in before my normal start time at 5.

Factories are dangerous. My dad was an EMT in St. Louis back in the 80's before he was an ER doc and he had a horrific accident he had to respond to in a soap factory. In one of the vats a sheet of soap must have been caked onto the wall and went a worker stuck his head in to get a look so he could clean it out, the sheet dislodged, dropped down and sliced his head nearly in half. Shit can go wrong quick.

Then there's a number of things that have happened to people in the Lansing area in the Oldsmobile plant and other manufacturers. Mostly dismemberments that Dad had to deal with, but still awful.

Dude, I live in north Texas. There is no fucking way I can live comfortably on 35K/year and then need an extra 85K/year extra just 6 hours south. She's bullshitting because I do live comfortably on my 35K/year.

I found a ticket for one way in first class from Houston to Wisconsin for $334. What was your point again?

Mostly that you don't know her finances and who honestly gives a shit if someone gets a second job?

I make a blueberry crumble pie for the family. I'll help mom with whatever else we've got going if she'll let me.

I met up with a couple of PotDers back in the day. Must have been back around 2010.

What kind of equipment is getting a tire for that price? We talking earthmovers or something?

Giant tires on mining and construction equipment

Oh damn, that's pretty cool. Those tires are so fucking expensive it's hard to fathom sometimes. The repairs that guys like you do on them is super impressive.

Tires on our John Deere 644K were over $2,500 and I can't imagine what even bigger equipment might cost. Availability was shit 4 years ago and I can't imagine anything has gotten better now. Very cool job, but sorry you got hurt. I could definitely see it getting dangerous.

You do not hate Totino's. How else are you going to get a cardboard pizza with "pepperoni" chunks for only $1?

God I've eaten way too much Totino's pizzas in my life.

As someone who actually currently lives in Houston you're full of complete shit. I lived in a nice 1 bed 1 bath apartment (860 sq ft close to the med center) for $1500 a month and still had plenty of money to enjoy my life and invest/save when I made 60k by myself. With my significant other we make a combined $130k and are doing what we want without worrying about money much.

I don't know if this lady has significant debt or loans or what her lifestyle is like, but 80k+ is certainly enough to live in a nice place in a safe area of Houston.

It's information like this that reminds me why I love not living in a city. Instead I've got a $2,200 mortgage for a house with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and an acre of land.

Now that I'm done bragging, I will say that even with rent at $1,500 and having money left to invest, that could easily be eaten into depending on what your student loan situation looks like and maybe the car payment is modest and not above your means. It could feel like you'd want a second job if you're hoping to visit your hometown back in Wisconsin more often like she said. Plane tickets aren't cheap and that'd be a hell of a drive to make on a regular basis.

Doesn't seem that outlandish to me to think about a second job in that situation.

I wish it were easier to get out and snowboard/ski during the winter. As it stands, it's expensive to get the equipment, expensive to get lift tickets, and I have to drive at least an hour to get to the nearest ski hill or 3 hours for a more improved experience.

Worth doing a few times a year, but I'd do it so much more often if things were closer, cheaper, and easier.

That's a problem for post-vacation me.

Pretty much this. There's no one in my crew that can do what I do, so they do their best, keep track of certain things. When I get back, I deal with whatever has to be dealt with that is coming in that day and chip away at the back log of work. There's some stuff I know I can let slip for a bit so that gets lowest priority and I try and work through the more time sensitive stuff first.

Im not so familiar w the the specifics Under what Premise was the neighbor charged w the felony murder rule?

my recollection was that it was the father and son chasing the victim. To what extent was the neighbor involved?

From what I remember the neighbor was the one that caught the murder on video. The father and son were already stopped in the middle of the road waiting for Ahmaud to make the turn in the road and the neighbor was trailing behind in a car with his phone recording.

I never heard what the explanation was for the neighbor following Ahmaud while already recording, but presumably he was involved with the other two men's plans to stop and "arrest" the jogger.

I spend the cash back directly on Amazon generally. So convenient to see the cashback as an option for paying when I'm checking out at Amazon.

streamofthesky posted...

This.

They're doing 5% cash back on Amazon.com purchases currently, too.

And they give free credit scores w/ your statement.

Yeah, the 5% cash back from Amazon is every year around Christmas. Super convenient to get more back while Christmas shopping.

A comfy one.

Everyone always tells me that my room is huge, but its because Im not like most people; I dont feel the need to own a ridiculous king-sized bed, and opted for a full instead.

No need for all the space of a king if you're alone, huh?

I don't understand how there are votes that they are innocent.

I've had a Discover card for a long time. I get pretty good cash back and no annual fee. What's wrong with Discover?

That couch bed is so cool!

You're right, who knows what might happen if someone here sees an image of my daughter.

Do you understand anything about risk analysis? Because you make this sort of comment a lot.

I'll give you a hint: Personal anecdotes are meaningless in the face of actual statistical evidence.

Which goes back to my first post that pizza professionals disagree with the medical community and have the anecdotal data to back it up.

As usual, potd treats conventional knowledge as truth and ancient knowledge as false. Bunch of wrong, accusatory, jealous people.

I will promise, I'm not jealous. Just concerned about the well being of your happy baby. It scares the hell out of me thinking that negligence on my part could take these smiles away. SIDS is real, scary, and my wife saw enough working in the NICU to know how seriously we should take it.
