To be fair, unlike Juul, people can’t sue White Claw because of that targeted immunity they have from all laws.


Even the watermelon one?  I mean, come on….
NO LAWS, Smackie. It’s right there in our collective social contract.

I don't know if its more embarrassing for you that as a grown ass man in 2020 you don't have a subscription to the Economist or that you are foiled by an "impenetrable" online paywall.
Look man. I've got data - I've got charts! I can't waste time with information that is not immediately accessible. Do you have the PDF? Share the wealth, man. Share the wealth. The only way we'll survive is if we take care of each other. United we stand. We're in this together.

Mr. Smax
can you confirm that racism is solved in CA?

Peter Navarro, WH Trade Advisor: "I'm a Californian. We don't see race out there. So, you know it's like I live my life in a race-blind world, and it troubles me that we have so much of this discussion when in fact we have got real problems in this country."

Putting A Pickle In Cheap Light Beer Makes It Taste Better

Simply put, it works. While I still didn’t love it, because I’m simply not a beer fan, it definitely changed the flavor for the better. It made the beer less bitter after just a few minutes and pretty much took away the aftertaste. Right away, you’ll notice that the concoction smells more like a pickle than a beer, which is also pleasant to me since I don’t even like the smell of beer but love pickles.

Except Smackie is left handed. 

Oh, and thank you O's fans for Dylan Bundy!  I don't even remember who the Angels gave you for Bundy, but it was worth it!

Not in need of a solution - I like the taste of lighter beer.  Have had so much Kolsh this summer that I am keeping my local brewpub open…

Peter Navarro does not see his place of privilege and is doing a disservice to the plight of people of color by intentionally not recognizing them as people of color.
Sorry, I used to get notifications when something was posted in this thread.  Let me look into my staff, who assure me they're working harder than ever during Covid….

Right this.

The FCC dropped all efforts to regulate cable boxes and eliminated rules dating back to 1998 that required cable services to provide CableCards for DVRS like Tivo and HDHomeRun.


Tivo - I forgot you were standing there.  You may go….
Also, I really could have put this in any of the 2020 Threads, but then one would feel left out:

How 2020 is like a Colonoscopy
Smax…how's the sky looking in your hood

Friend of mine sent some pics and it looks like he lives on mars
Yesterday and today it looks like we're living in a snow storm, only it's 70 degrees outside.  Ash everywhere….

Wednesday, 100% it looked like we were living on Mars, only we could breath.  I was telling Godshoeshine that the air created a blanket of smoke high in the atmosphere that the sun couldn't penetrate (we literally could not see the sun or any outline of it), but the Air Quality Index (AQI) was mostly green (0-50) and healthy.  It just looked crazy intense with that smoke dome lit up bright orange.

But, as soon as that air flow that sucked all the smoke into the atmosphere stopped, the entire smoke blanket dropped on us and it's bright again, even though it looks like it's quite foggy, but it's not.  It's smoke and the AQI is above 200 which is terribly unhealthy for everybody.  And it's only going to get worse through the weekend.

As odd as it is to say, I'll take Wednesday's apocalyptic look of crazy over today's brighter regular look with AQI's above 150 any day…
