Keep in mind that a new mac pro to replace the trash can is rumored for june. Might make a hell of a lot more sense than the iMac Pro for most users.

Fuck the Trump "tax cut". That is all.

The movie is less than great, but nice watch!

I did the real ID a few months ago at Corte Madera. Just show up early. It won't save you entirely from the line but in a world of shitty alternatives it is one of the least shitty ways to go.

Just show up 20-30 minutes before they open. You will be the first through the door and first served.

Between Al and I we have some pretty good stuff. Perhaps a blind tasting is in order at some point? Maybe we each bring three bottles to taste or something like that.

^ It was a pleasure meeting you for lunch, my friend! Hearing about the trip was as much fun as seeing the pictures.

Oh, yay. I can now enjoy snake oil on the go!

I was on a jury on a DUI case. The defense tried to raise doubts about the veracity of the conclusions the three big pieces of evidence, the field sobriety test, the breathalyzer, and the blood tests. As far as we could tell all procedures relating to the tests were followed, the tests were backed by sound science, and the results (which all agreed with each other) were thus very likely to valid. We convicted. The guy wasn't crazy drunk or anything, so it felt a little bad convicting someone only slightly over the limit. That being said, I had no reasonable doubt that the evidence showed he was over the limit at the time of being pulled over. I think the guy got a fair shake and it did give me a more positive perspective on the criminal justice system having been a part of the process. I hope if I am ever on the line a jury discusses and the evidence as a group the way that we did.

I was in that same room just a week ago. May the law gods have mercy on you and spare you getting placed on the jury as they have spared me! Being on a jury is interesting to do once, but something I never need to do again.

Happy birthday, Nate!

Happy birthday, CS!

After wrapping up the finale last night I am happy to report that the new season is a very welcome return to form! I am such a sucker for a well done detective story and man does this show ever scratch that itch. The three leads are great, the plot is fun, and they really do a good job of laying out the bread crumbs in such a way that the reveals never feel cheap or unearned. It is not a show for everyone. It is intense, pretentious, and convoluted, but if you liked the first season I'd highly recommend this one!

Happy birthday, flyboy!

Watched Russian Doll as well and I agree with the consensus, quite enjoyable! i didn’t love the ending but I sure enjoyed the journey.

After two days of voir dire they seated a jury and I am not on it! Yaaaaaas! Jury duty... really interesting and fun to do once, after that, pass!

Happy birthday, old bear!

Happy birthday!

I’m basically doing the same thing you are, Nate, only pour-over instead of French press. While it sounds like buying one 1-lb bag at a time is best as far as flavor goes, it also sounds like doing 2 1-lb bags at a time and consuming them within a month also isn’t the end of the world. And yeah, the cost savings of doing it at home are insane. I used Quicken to look at how much I spent on Starbucks and Peet’s coffee in 2018. It was a lot. This coffee is better and, even at a fairly high cost per bag, so much cheaper. Grinding and brewing in the morning is also kind of enjoyable.

Happy birthday, sk8ter-b0i!
