And then they will think to themselves, “Well, so does the newspaper, and so does Facebook, and so do politicians, and none of those help me do this task or say nice things to me when I ask them questions.”

Paying tribute to the 50th Anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by also being unexpectedly grounded in Ontario. (Our flight back from Montreal last night was cancelled, they sent us to Toronto, now the flight from there is also delayed.)

Is it a good thing that a single company can take down basically the entire internet? Is that a sign of a healthy infrastructure?

The Dog Days of Summer 2025 menu with cocktail themed hot dog builds, above it is a beer can called Beer for Hot Dogs and the label has a dog making a hot dog and a mouse below the sign. The dogs are: Mai Tai - orange zest, sliced almonds, lime squeeze Martini - bleu cheese crumbles, olive tapenade Pimm’s Cup - sliced cucumber, orange marmalade Pickleback - pickle mayo, pickled onion, pickled beet, relish, sliced pickle Margarita - mayo, tajin, lime squeeze, jalapeño Bloody Mary - horseradish, curry ketchup, celery, pimento green olives, bacon bits Beer & A Shot - toasted barley, nutritional yeast, beer mustard; plus, choice of a shot: tequila or fernet

A box of 30 quite fancy & pretty jello shots. The flavors are dirty martini, mezcal Negroni, margarita, French 75, apertivo spritz, and strawberry daiquiri.

The reason for our annual trip to NY: our friends’ Dog Days of Summer hot dog party. This year’s theme was cocktails, which we 100% did not know when we decided to bring fancy jello shots 😅 Raving success once again @nathanmiller.bsky.social

Telling people in a regular train car "shh this is the quiet car" and enjoying the calm twenty minutes before they realize.

Hello. Homebrewtalk actually is a parasite on forums. They buy competitors, consolidate anything useful, and shut them down.

If you want to highlight a forum that is made of remnants of the lost sites: dailydrinkingthread.com is mostly folks orphaned by one of their conquests.
