5'11, between 170-175, just measured 172.5. 32" waist. I was maybe more like 180 out of college, but I also had more muscle then. I did go through a fatter stage in my 30s and early 40s -- around 193 for years and thought that was normal, until I ballooned up over 200, which for my frame is not a good look. That was around when I thought the 34" waist pants were a little snug, time for some 36s! We just went through a bunch of old pictures for a slideshow we did at our party this past weekend, my wife was like "dood, I didn't realize how fat you were back then!"

Very interesting, thanks for posting. I hadn't heard about the red dwarf issues, that's a big limiter. Also the lack of rotation on tidal locked planets possibly (probably?) causing an insufficient magnetic field is an issue. It's like there are a near-infinite number of planets, and a near-infinite number of reasons life can't exist on them.

From It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. One of the greatest casts ever assembled. Awesome movie!

Seafoam is making a strong year-end run to maintain his worst poster of the year title.

I think he was talking about the pre-mixes from his OP.

We enjoyed Leftovers, but I wouldn't put it on a best-of list. It was kinda all over the place IMO. Of edjr's list, I've only seen GoT and Band of Brothers. We read the GoT books back when the early ones came out, so we were OG fans. Even though the ending blew chunks, I thought they did a good job relaying that massive epic tale. I just finished BoB; Ben Shapiro calls it the best show ever and it isn't close... eh, slow your roll, Ben. It's very good, but not best ever. Although the episode with the concentration camp was one of the most powerful episodes I've ever seen. I'll add Succession to the list, which we really enjoyed. Just to piss off Ed.

You're welcome! I looked at those and had the same thought, but that one wasn't on Prime delivery. Looks like it should still make it before Christmas but they should order soon.

I haven't used that syrup but it gets good reviews, so I'd say go for it. I make 3-4 old fashioneds a week, and my regular bourbons alternate between these two: Knob Creek 9 yr Small Batch Elijah Craig Small Batch These are 100 and 94 proof respectively, and $43 or $40 for 1.75 L bottles. Either is IMO the best deal for pretty good bourbon out there. I put Total Wine links, but Costco usually carries one or both at the identical price. Of course you can get smaller bottles if you want, but not at Costco. Otherwise, my sipping bourbons are mostly cask strength so not a good value for mixed drinks. For sweetener I used to make my own demerara 1:2 concentrate simple syrup, but I just bought the Skinny Syrups simple syrup, and while it's not bad for a sugar-free sweetener, it's not as tasty as the real stuff, of course. I may go back to the real stuff. It's easy enough to make: boil water, stir in bag, bring back to boil, let cool a little, dump in mason jar with lid and refrigerate. Demerara sugar For bitters, I use Angostura regular and orange. I also have a black walnut bitters from Fee Brothers I add sometimes.

I think ShorePatrol's logo won this league.

I had so many chicks I wanted to pick. Here are some: Denise Richards, Wild Things Rachel Weisz, the Mummy Sloane Peterson, Mia Sara, Ferris Beuhler (she was 18 dambit!) Elizabeth Shue, Karate Kid (she was 20 dambit!) Dizzy Flores, Dina Meyer, Starship Trooper Janey Briggs, Chyler Leigh, Not Another Teen Movie Shannon Elizabeth, American Pie

That brand doesn't ring a bell, but I have used a similar carb cleaner in the past when I had a gas mower. I agree it is the first thing to try if it is sluggish starting.

That's a great idea, thanks! Well, not the being a d1ck part.

I've started a tradition in the past two years of getting my three adult kids a "dad" useful gift. Those gifts have been a tire inflator and a fire blanket. This year I'm looking at multitool pens, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09P8CQNQV/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A1G9DAZRE9Y9GW&psc=1 My son does some camping, I was thinking something like this multitool with hammer and axe: https://www.amazon.com/RoverTac-Multitool-Hatchet-Screwdrivers-Survival/dp/B0CDPSLVP2/ref=pd_lutyp_rtpb_strm_cts_d_sccl_1_3/143-4691133-0087919?pd_rd_r=488628fd-f848-48aa-ad1f-ff3fad429a3e&pd_rd_wg=vZcDx&pd_rd_w=c7TJn&pd_rd_i=B0CDPSLVP2&th=1 On the strip screw extractor, I've tried buying multiple different types and I've never had one work. Have you had success with a certain one?

Done.
