    They make 6XL clothes now?

    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!"

    4 Problems with Earth Like Exoplanets

    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.

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

    Rank your top 5 of these HBO shows.

    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.

    Old Fashioned

    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.

    Man Gifts for Christmas

    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.

    Man Gifts for Christmas

    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?

    College student deported over thanksgiving weekend

    Sorry for the late response, but last week was hella busy. We had a big party for my wife's birthday and my 5 year cancer survival (look at meeeee!!!!!) on Saturday. Anyway, to a few of your points: - Yes, it was Saint Barack, not President Autopen. I brain farted that. My point is that we don't know why Saint Barack wanted them deported, and your article that you are so proud of doesn't really address that. - Tim Hauck pointed out your mistake about the "case closed." Clearly she was still open in the system, since it was flagged when she tried to get through airport security. - If ICE directly disobeyed/disregarded the judge's order, I disagree with that. - I'm sorry that you find me absolutely despicable, devoid of morality, and full of hate. After all, this girl is a college student and... wait, that's all we know. Well, that and here illegally. I don't know anything about her or why her family was on the deportation list, which was the point of my initial postings. You however have read all the platitudes from the MSM intended to make her sound awesome and ICE sound Hitleresque, so you have drawn the conclusions you've been guided to draw. That being said, as a general rule, I'd like to allow all young, attractive women to stay, particularly if they have a fetish for cancer survivors.
  16. As to the bolded, maybe, but he was starting to flash before he got hurt. But yeah, he'd need to supplant Shakir in my lineup, which... wouldn't be that hard to do, honestly. Shakir has been very shaky-r this season. I did hit on McMillan, and Harvey (through injury) has gotten the chance to shine, so I view my team as coming around as you say. Also for Biff: AD may have Allen, but I've got Jaxson Dart's MILF mother in the stands with perky cold nips rooting on her son. Also he plays against Washington in football, which is good.
  17. No doubt. Also, I finally got Hampton back last night, he looked pretty good. My 2/3 turn of Bowers/Hampton has been injured most of the season, Benson is still out, lost Hunter, and my can't miss #1 Jamarr Chase has been quite hit or miss, seems like he's maybe mailed in the season at this point. But as Biff said, my team is on a run, so any given Sunday... Hey @Alias Detective, wanna do a side bet? $25, 50, whatever works for you if you are interested.
  18. Pending formalities tonight, I won, Bier lost, and Shore lost (to AD). If points is the tiebreaker, that means I snuck into the playoffs.

    Another shady sentence commutation for a rich guy

    Impressive, this collection of stupid. First, I gave a specific example. Biden's kid. Doesn't matter if you didn't vote for him, you said nothing here, whereas you said Trump rewards corruption. Second, it's not whataboutism. Comparing and contrasting your behavior towards Trump vs. other presidents is exactly how one would would show TDS. If you had a history of complaining about pardons from other presidents, it wouldn't be TDS. Get it? I'm not confident. Third, I explained the "corruption". It was exactly in the words I typed. Once again I think you don't read what I post and just type whatever pap comes to your head.

    Another shady sentence commutation for a rich guy

    You do have TDS. Let me explain. Every presidential pardon falls somewhere on the "something in it for POTUS" scale. We can call that "corrupt" if you like. It's not like they are governors commuting death penalties because they don't believe in it, for instance. Biden's blanket pardon of his son for anything that we haven't even thought of is quite high on this scale. But, and pay attention here Gutter: you never said anything about it. Or any of Saint Barack's pardons. Or any other POTUS. But your first post here was: You view the same behavior by Trump as rewarding corruption, but couldn't have cared less when other presidents did it. This is why you have TDS. I hope this has been informative for you.
