At the time this posts, I should be several cocktails in at a Tiki weekender, so please forgive any duplicate links.
Well, BrewDog is being parted out. Full disclosure, I own two shares.
From the “hit series”!
What could possibly go wrong?
Kentucky man one ups God.
I really enjoyed Greedfall, and was disappointed by the early feedback on Greedfall 2. I hope they can pull out of it.
You mean like deleted records, weaponizing the IRS, and the like?
Obviously Trump’s fault.
Embrace the cleansing fire.
“After a full investigation, we’ve identified that the rat was not 21 years of age.”
Next they’ll need to explain that immigrants need to follow immigration laws.
I’m sure the impact was devastating you slut.
For the cocktail this week, with the event I’m going to, there’s no decision.
Mai Tai
- 6 part (1.5 oz) white rum
- 3 part (0.75 oz) orange curacao
- 3 part (0.75 oz) lime juice
- 2 part (0.5 oz) orgeat (almond extract and simple can work if you don’t have it)
- 2 part (0.5 oz) dark rum
For this one, you’ll need some crushed ice, so keep that in mind. Fill a shaker with all of the ingredients but the dark rum, and top with ice. Shake until combined and chilled, strain into a double rocks glass filled with crushed ice. Pour the dark rum onto the top as a float, and garnish with some fresh mint and a lime wheel.
With that, I hope you all have the weekends you desire.
Gay.
That dude is gonna be turdlocked to the point of experiencing the pain of childbirth…
Your comment reminded me of a story from a few years back where they had to surgically remove the lower colon from a guy that had like thirty pounds of impacted fecal matter. I forget how long it was since he last had a bowel movement before the surgery.
“images of rat under beer tap”
Immediately thought of this Fawlty Towers Episode (Basil the Rat):

“Would you care for a rat?”
I seem to recall that Connie Booth had to make the puppet swivel in its tin.
My wife’s second favorite cocktail.
Her favorite is the margarita.
I make mine a little different:
1 oz each of a rum agricole and Appleton 12
1/2 oz each of curacou, orgeat, and simple syrup
Plus the juice of one lime, which I know can fluctuate.
It was this video that got me into cocktails.
I was expecting liberal tears to be more “enjoyable” than “tedious” but here we are.
Anyone have a favorite brand of orange curacao?
Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao.
The same company also makes one featuring yuzu instead of bitter oranges. Hard to find, but a welcome addition to your bar.
Pierre Ferrand makes my go-to cocktail cognac, so this seems a solid choice. Much appreciated!
That’s the one I use.
Let’s see…Plantation Three Stars white rum, check. Plantation O.F.T.D. overproof dark rum, check. Limes, check. Liber & Co. orgeat syrup, arriving tomorrow. Ferrand Curacao, in stock at the liquor store. All systems are go for a Saturday Mai Tai or two.
I wonder if I can procure a tiki mug by tomorrow night?
If only you lived closer. I have a small collection including some from Trader Vics.
Though perhaps not an expert on Orange Curaçao, I’ve heard that Brett L might have some experience.
That’s Blue Curacao. Completely different…
lol No I will not.
Presidential flights began in 1944 to transport Franklin D. Roosevelt and then Harry Truman, and they were designed to “reflect the stature of the Office of the President and serve as a highly visible symbol of American prestige,” according to the National Museum of the United States Air Force.
Instead of showing off the names of the current presidents, they had the words “United States of America” emblazoned along the fuselage, along with an American flag.
Interesting how they conflate Trump’s personal plane with the plane(s) that transports whomever is currently occupying the Oval Office. The paper must think their readers are ‘tards, or something.
I mean, it could have been a buddy using Trump’s plane…but hate is hate and we will make sure you hate.
We don’t know who was using it, but you should be OUTRAGED!
I don’t believe that for one second. If that was true, Hollywood would have closed up shop years ago because they would have fired 99% of the actors.
God only knows what stupid thing she did to get dropped. Had to be amazingly stupid.
You can get away with a lot in Hollywood as long as you’re bringing in the money. Susan Sarandon hasn’t been a draw in decades, so…
In an interesting parallel over the past twenty years – when a Hollywood ‘creative’ has consistently botched their job and is about to get canned, they’ll often make a hard-left swing as a sort of ideological credit check, demonstrating to the rest of Hollywood that they still have the correct views. You can see this very clearly with Secret Hideout/Starfleet Academy.
Sarandon has been on that left swing for quite a while. I recall many years ago she was outside a guy’s house protesting his plans to cut down a tree.
Somehow Two Consecutive Owners Of A Toyota Mirai Hydrogen Car Didn’t Realize It Can’t Be Refueled Anywhere Less Than 350 Miles Away
Your Japanese lesson for today “mirai” means “future” in English.
The closest place to fuel up for me is Mississauga, Ontario. So I’m only 340 miles plus Global Entry. You all can check here:
Hydrogen Fueling Station Locations
Esso Harnois Groupe Pétrolier in Qubec is slightly closer for me. Only 305 miles away.
It’s too bad Jethro Clampett wasn’t able to perfect his water-burning engine.
it runs on water man…
Hydrogen- the fuel of the future.
You’ll Miss Sports Journalism When It’s Gone
John Lardner died a long time ago.
No I won’t. And it will not go away, it will come back with reporters who actually love and cover sports.
That Chrysler turbine car was more practical than a hydrogen fuel cell car.
Speaking of planes, I saw Malcolm Forbes’ plane, the “Capitalist Tool” at the Colorado Springs airport long ago.
I got to see Sergey Brin’s blimp flying in San Francisco in December. I wonder if he is going to move that to Florida?
You can get away with a lot in Hollywood as long as you’re bringing in the money. Susan Sarandon hasn’t been a draw in decades, so…
Has she been in anything since Bull Durham?
I didn’t go through the whole list, but I didn’t see anything I recognized as amazing or important.

Dead Man Walking in 1995 was the last hit movie she starred in.
Video game and animated TV VO is her more noteable modern work.
Stock up on Rain-X
The big recall, which hit 604,533 vehicles, was a fairly minor issue, one that will likely be fixed without much incident. It focuses on a windshield wiper motor for the front windshield wipers, which could either fail outright or work periodically, causing intermittent response or no response at all. That in turn could increase the risk of a crash due to decreased visibility. This recall focuses on Ford Explorers, Ford Escapes, Lincoln Aviators and Lincoln Corsairs made between 2020 and 2022.
The second recall focuses on just 11,431 vehicles, but the problem is much more serious. Reports note that this is over an issue of a friction weld in the driveshaft, which could give way and cause the rear driveshaft to separate. This means a sudden loss of drive power.
No wipers? Pffft. You only need them when it’s raining. Or snowing.
With any luck, when the driveshaft fails it will come out of the tailshaft housing, dump all the ATF all over your rear tires, and cook the transmission.
But wait, there’s more
Ford (F.N), opens new tab has issued two separate recalls affecting a total of 1.74 million vehicles in which defects could cause rearview-camera images to display incorrectly when the vehicle is in reverse.
One of the recalls affects about 850,000 Ford Bronco and Ford Edge models. It is related to a computer module that may overheat and shut down, preventing the rearview camera image from displaying as intended, the regulator said in a statement.
In the second recall, the NHTSA said that about 890,000 Ford Escape and Explorer and Lincoln Corsair and Aviator models are being recalled because the image on the center display may flip or invert, resulting in an incorrectly displayed rearview image when the vehicle is placed in reverse.
That shouldn’t matter.
Ford has seen improvements in vehicle quality during the first few months of ownership, CEO Jim Farley told employees in a recent town hall, leading to higher company bonuses.
And they all laughed and laughed.
Remember when you had to turn your head to see where you were backing?
pistoffnick remembers.
I still do out of habit, regardless of what I’m driving (current car does not have a camera)
8 years ago, I took a work trip with my boss and our rental car had no camera.
He had almost no idea how to back a car without a camera, even though he was 50 years old and obviously grew up without them.
When I rent cars, I use the camera to check behind me and that is all.
Part of the problem is the pit you now sit in thanks to collision requirements.
Cars with great visibility of yesteryear have no hope of meeting them.
I use the camera to make certain I’ve pulled far enough through a pull-through parking space.
And three widgets called mirrors, and putting your right palm on the back of the passenger seat.
You barbarians don’t understand how awesome 360* cameras are.
Nope. Dad wouldn’t let me get my license until I’d perfected backing up in the rearview.
I don’t know if I could do it now. It’s been a while since I’ve driven a car that didn’t have a backup camera.
My boss carpooled me one time to the horrible temporary office in Secaucus before we got a better one on the waterfront some years ago and he spent more time staring at the built-in screen than the road. I vowed not to let that happen again.
I use the backup camera to enjoy the rage of the driver behind me as I slowly back into a parking spot.
Well my detail is done. I have been writing an article about the actual improvements we are actually getting in the FAA. New radars…600+ in a two year timeframe.

There is no way AI is NOT a bubble.
It’s not just AI and Oracle has swallowed so much, it’s hardly just a database company. Hosted applications and subscription services run on those data centers, too.
Not disagreeing that AI is a bubble.
IT head just sent out an email blast today pushing AI. Just in time for “goal setting”, hint hint. Required trainings and such are incoming.
I am *so* glad my career is winding down.
On the brink
The Iran war upended markets this week, and economist Paul Krugman thinks the effects could ultimately be much more far-reaching.
The Nobel Prize winner hasn’t been too optimistic about the US economy recently, largely due to the impacts he sees from President Donald Trump’s tariffs. Yet, as the military conflict escalates, he sees severe consequences looming for the US economy.
Krugman highlighted several pressing factors that have kept uncertainty high in a recent Substack post, but also laid out why the war may be accelerating the economy’s decline.
“There are many stresses on our economy, and this could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back — a straw that becomes heavier the longer the war goes on,” he said.
Great Depression 2.0 here we come.
Krugman effect would suggest then that the economy has decoupled from the Federal Government just enough to absorb this event and we will be fine…
“…Paul Krugman thinks…”
*SCREEEEECH*
I am off of this ride.
This.
I thought we did t have to hear from that mf again since he’s retired.
Krugman highlighted other economic concerns, such as the negative impact of tariffs and restrictive immigration policy, as major economic stress points. He argument is similar to that of fellow economist Mark Zandi, who named the same factors as having the potential to push the US into a recession.
“We’ve added a fresh level of massive uncertainty,” Krugman said. “Bear in mind that this isn’t even a war of choice; it’s a war of whim, marked by a near-total lack of planning.”
Nobody ran this by Krugabe before proceeding? How is that even possible?
Are we going back to the old understanding of what a recession is or is it the Biden era definition? Gotta know!
Biden isn’t president, so we obviously can’t use the Biden definition.
Trump is president so everything has to be spun as negatively as possible.
He is competing with Thomas Friedman to see who can keep their perfect record the longest. Sooner or later one of them will slip up and accidentally get something right.
Unlike when Obama attacked Libya at the behest of Hillary Clinton, apparently.
What is worse? A dog parade in Congress or discussing “Making maps more gay” in Congress? Im torn.
What does that mean?

Maybe we should bring back our representatives drinking hard cider and whiskey daily
We used to be a serious country.
no we weren’t
Government, what can’t it do.
Guess in 2025 the city mandated apps to pester you for tips. Now they will enforce the companies some how?
If by “well-intentioned” they mean “cynical” and “help” they mean “put out of business”.
The left has been attempting to destroy the “gig” industry for years.
Maybe we should bring back our representatives drinking hard cider and whiskey daily
Don’t forget the fighting and whoring.
“Aawon Buww!” 🥛 🥜
More Giardian outrage porn.

No explanation of why an illegal for 25 years was able to obtain a green card. Hint, bet it has to do with a anchor baby or relative. And other relatives also illegals and living in same area who didn’t enter at the same time, so once again more lies that illegal entry doesn’t encourages entire families to invade over time. Revoke and deport all of them.
Also, 1992 was well after the Guatamalan civil war ended. More lies.
That outfit lies constantly. I refuse to waste one second reading anything there.
Seriously.
Deport the whole fucking family, and then deport every illegal family.
Break #2: Put in two-weeks notice in at the Express. Most likely working here til the 21st. Contract to start April 9.
Pretty chill night, here. (Not working w Dragon Lady helps.)
Hope y’all are in for your own fun eve.
