But at that point drinking it was serving a goal. Gasp, I hardly ever drink anymore. Beer in the early days was a means to an end, like Vinny states. There are a few beers I am ok with (Guinness, Blue Moon and Shock Top), but I will not go out and buy beer for myself, only if we are giving a party....

Emails, Secret Report Show Politics Of Science Guiding Pritzker Gov. J.B. Pritzker keeps telling Illinoisans that his coronavirus mitigation efforts are guided by science. "Science twice removed" might be closer to the truth, public records show. After combing though hundreds of pages of emails and...

Didn't you go to UIUC Corto? All we drank there was Everclear in Hawaiian Punch, or beer. Although as a freshman, I do remember ordering Tequila Sunrises, Whiskey Stone Sours and Sloe Gin Fizzes in the bars. Ick. Yep. Everclear. Ahhh, yet another night, that if I did now, I would most certainly hav...

Isn't there (gasp!) sugar and other refined carbs (crust) in that? Curious if there is anyone else here but me that had zer...

Mark, this is what I picture every time you discuss your life

Namely, too few cases means it's more likely that Trump will win. Well, that's not going to happen. I am curious what people will make of Europe getting hit with a big second wave. I assume masking in general is probably much more adhered to in most countries than the US? If so, what's the reason? ...

I think part of the issue is hospital capacity. This is a legitimate concern if many recoveries are due to improving treatment options. Would Trump or Christie have lived if they hadn't had very prompt hospital treatment? That's a good question. If the case numbers climb to a point that prevents tr...

Basement sits a couple degrees cooler than the rest of the house, yes, heated, ~68-70. Perfect for growing.

Why is everyone so fixated on test numbers here then if they are so fraught with problems? Why not just look at excess death stats? Can't we compare years worth of data and compare to 2020 to give us a pretty good picture of what is happening? Yes...WHY? Why are news outlets so focused on cases? If...

Wow, fancy!!! and, looks fantastic, Cortopassi. You are hereby nominated as the hydroponics master. Sorry, I thought the growing medium was soil. Changing out the 13 gallon tank....how do you do it? It looks like this is outdoors, so I guess you just dump out the water? I have to carry containers i...

So NOW it matters again to the market. What a joke.

game is rigged against him.

He's built a lot of that rigging with his attitude and attacks, which is the main reason I did not vote for him this time.
