5706 Well, and a good forum needs mods who are not absentees from regular board discussion. In my opinion, anyway. Drive-by moderation doesn't work in this community, imo. You really need to know the temperature of the board, the inside jokes, and of course have some background with the cast of cha...

lolol who would hack some random frigging economist's Twitter account. Just own it. Coworker. When my counterpart would leave his computer unlocked, we'd jump on and do fun searches on Google or Amazon. Things like ball hair removal kit, ladyboys, not so fresh feeling for men, hereps medicine..... ...

One of the unintended consequences of of having a commute that's only 30-minutes each way (as opposed to 90 minutes-2 hrs each way) is that my podcasting has all but ceased. That's also in large part because I've found a current event/news show on Sirius that I really like: The Michael Smerconish Pr...

The one-click option would require uploading the image directly to the forum, tho. That could get into some dollars for server storage. As it is for me, when I take a picture of something I like it goes to Facebook, Pinterest and Picasa (the links are share here are from Picasa), and then it uploads...

If you cook, it is worthy.

Cook food, take pics, share.

>>> José Andrés's Beefsteak Explodes Onto the Fast-Casual Scene <<< So there are some really high-end cheffy types getting in on the fast-casual scene. (Think Chipotle) Here in CA, Daniel Patterson (Coi Restaurant in SF, two Michelin stars) and Roy Choi (of the Kogi empire) have teamed up to form Lo...

Honest.com "all about the bass, no treble". I want to punch all of the babies.

Ever since I cut the cord and went straight Netflix/Amazon Prime I have pretty much been spared commercials....but man that Lily AT&T is awful.

Someone on the old board professed their desire for her.

Her name is Milana Vayntrub.

Went out with Mrs Tif last night to a local gastropub called Tipple & Brine. Had a cocktail called 7 Years At Sea....... Flor de Caña rum, lime, ginger, honey, bitters, Plantation overproof rum float. It was exceptional.

One of my wife's cousins became a Mormon this weekend.

I belieeeeeeeeve...... that in 1978 god changed his mind about black people........ I am a Mormon........ and a Mormon just belieeeeeeeeeeves.

Funniest piece of entertainment I've ever seen.

Two observations:

RBR switched brake suppliers for 2015, and this was the first time they ran in super hot conditions.

The children (Sainz Jr and Verstappen) have been impressive.

So Iran is backing forces fighting ISIS, while also backing forces fighting our allies in Yemen, Saudi, etc, and have the stronghold goverments in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. So it is truly a cluster. I think it was Jon Stewart who pointed out that it basically took 30+ years of meddling with affairs i...

So wait, did you guys know about that site before or after I posted it in the F1 thread 2 weeks ago? I think it's a hilarious concept. I learned of it through the el gippy F1 thread, whoever it was that posted it there. It's hysterical; the admin updated the site live during Melbourne.... Maldo was...

Has tif been to any of the Basque restaurants in Bakersfield? (Asking for a friend.) I have not. Been to several in Basque Country, tho. :fist: They have a big festival every year, seems like it would be a fun thing to check out. But it's a little far for a day trip (from Mrs Tif's perspective) and...

Can someone explain how Indiana's law differs from the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993? >>> New in National Review: “Is Indiana Protecting Discrimination?” and Responding to Criticisms <<< The main difference between RFRA and Indiana is that when RFRA was passed the country was still ten ...

I also am of the school that "money in politics" is one of those things that when compared to what Americans spend on candy at Halloween it really is not that big a deal. Considering the tub-o-lard childrens that come to my neighborhood do not have the authority to commit the United States to war o...

Has anyone PM'd DelPen? He's been around forever, like Iglooreport times.

I was just thinking about that this morning. Have you reached out?

I ve been to two top flight Thai restaurants (New York and LA), which have ruined all others for me, so I just don't go.

We have the largest population of Thais outside of Thailand. Jitlada and Lum Ka Naad are the best, imo. But the actual best Thai restaurant I've been to is Lotus Of Siam in Vegas.

I've never seen brake dust in that amount that didn't result in a blown disc.

Fiorina often appears on lists with names like 'worst executive in U.S. history'. HP lost 50% of its share value on her watch.

Highly enjoyable race. Very different from Oz. I've seen drivers less excited after winning titles. Outstanding drive by Vettel, and Raikkonen did extremely well to race up to 4th from dead last. Looks like Ferrari is for real. Was a little bummed that hasmaldonadocrashedtoday.com did not give him c...

Terrorism is violence as a mean to an end. Germanwings was an end unto itself.

‘Open the Damn Door,’ Captain Yelled to Lubitz, German Paper Reports Bild says passengers can be heard screaming in the background as Sonderheimer shouts: “For God’s sake, open the door!” The captain is then heard trying to smash through the heavily reinforced door while shouting: “Open the damn do...

I just saw Orca for the first time last week and actually enjoyed it, speaking of animal movies.

Sid grows a better beard than I do. When I was still playing I made this big anti-playoff beard fuss; I don't believe in superstition, it's bad luck. (Har har) The real reason was because I couldn't grow a beard if my life depended on it. I could not shave for two months and it would just look like...
