...unfortunately they're rife with oppressively disruptive advertising these days; just not worth reading anymore and my battery life agrees...

...every employer i've worked with endeavors to put people doing the actual work on salary as soon as possible, so they can harvest that sweet sweet unpaid overtime for maximum profitability...

...nah man, i'm here for casual conversation; nothing at all shameful about honest ignorance, only willful ignorance...

...because it's a plainly ignorant statement akin to "i don't like french music": do you just dislike music malt whisky?..that's a fair statement, but one which would apply to all malt whiskies regardless of nation of origin, as there's no unifying style distinguishing scotch in particular...

...conversely, if you don't mind other malt whiskies but dislike something specific about scotch, that's indicative of narrow experience coloring your expectation of a vast ecology of styles and expressions which have little in common other than being based on barley, water, distillation, and age...

...that page has some cut to balance the preceding fill... 🥁

...i generally prefer windows open to the world but i'll concede that it's niiiiice, though: i never sleep better than nestled underneath a blasting window-box on a hot summer night...

...'scotch' encompasses such a vast diversity of spirits that i presume anyone who blanket-dislikes it either 1) doesn't like malt whisky in general, fair enough, or 2) mis-apprehends a specific style as endemic to scotch whisky as a whole...

...where's eris?..

...if there's one thing bob and doug mckenzie taught me, it's that time stamps are very difficult to fake...

...well maybe there's just the one and she's not doing so well...

...my father-in-law still squirts, but mostly from neuropathy-associated incontinence...

...used to be folks also made adapters with FM micro-transmitters for cars without tape decks; might still do...

...duke nukem forever was in development for about fourteen years...

...squadron 42 is tracking to match that if it releases next year; star citizen stands poised to inherit the protracted-development crown in short order...

...did you read the same text i did?..that was fcking code-speak for urban black populations...

Calvin Candie: Your boss looks a little green around the gills.
Django: He just ain't used to seein' a man ripped apart by dogs is all.
Calvin Candie: But you are used to it?
Django: I'm just a little more used to Americans than he is.
