A friendly place for friends who drink

[Ridire]

Rented it on VHS and watched it after school with my friend. We returned it immediately, they actually gave us our $2 back.

Dramatic reenactment of these events.

That part (I was referencing) is like... really early on... unless there were ~400 pages describing his death, you'd have an idea that he might make it.

No worries mate. My ignorance is not your fault. You haven't ruined anything for me. Just pulling your wire.

Read anything by Stephen Ambrose, if you have any interest in US Military history during WWII.
A side note, I was in a training exercise in Germany a few years back and one of my favorite memories from the experience was drinking at the beer tent with the guys from Ireland. I learned there that you can use absolutely anything to open a bottle of beer. Was very surprised to find how many females were in the Swedish armed forces...like a staggering percentage, I can't remember the exact amount though.
If you want to check out something really indepth and stagger, check out Tarawa: The Story of a Battle by Robert Sherrod. It was one of the bloodiest engagements in the entire theater and its the least talked about

I've read One Square Mile of Hell about Tarawa. It was an incredible read. I've not read Sherrod's book on Tarawa or anything by Stephen Ambrose.

Tarawa is an amazing story. It's terrible that it's such an unremembered battle. I think it was the first contested beach landing by the Marines in WW2.

That post was more for CAD, lol.

I hate all of you.
Going to go scribble on post-it notes.

Alright debating on weather to buy a replacement stainless head assembly or just the stainless wet end head assembly.

I'll probably go with the first one. You do not have to replace the parts just the head and have a back up if it breaks

I am much more scientifically ignorant than I thought. I thought I at least knew the basics behind the "theory of relativity" but I had a "no ****ing way" moment when the book revealed what it meant that the speed of light is constant, regardless of the speed of the observer. If I didn't already get that, I clearly had no idea what Einstein's theory was. That concept, when you really think about it, is nearly impossible for the human brain to really comprehend.

Tremendous.

It's just such an elegant and beautiful theory to read about.

On the crawflea. Drank a bit more than I thought last night and dragging ass. Come on coffee, do your work!

Have any of you ever been sitting there and then realize you left a beer in the freezer the night before?

I mean it was for um science, yeah science.

 

[iijakii]

I think I've only done freezer beer a couple times, and that was for like 20mins max.

I always set a phone alarm when I do freezerbier

I do it all the time, but have never left one to freeze. I usually get the new beers that land at the bottle shop moments after they are pulled from the truck. In this case it was TG Sweet tooth.

I guess I am impatient to a certain extent.

Good news is I'll have some nice Belgian dark ale ice cubes.

Chigurgh might be my favorite character in print and on screen. So completely evil.


I should read No Country again.

I think he was more completely indifferent, which is even worse if you think about it.

Also, on freezerbier topic: I sploded a bottle of stout in the beer fridge freezer and it's still all over in there. Worst thing to try and clean up ever. All of my meat has frozen stoutcicles on it.

 

[1977Brewer]

10 shippers confirmed. 80 lbs of beer mail inbound. We're only a third of the way there. This is beyond epic now. The tales of this contest will be carried on to future generations of internet brewbros. The pyramid of empties will be viewed as my attempt at touching heaven. My only regret is that I don't possess a crystal chalice from which to imbibe the delicious nectars that will await me every day.

Have you read it? He's so much worse in print. Zero regard for human life. McCarthy can spin a yarn with the best of them.


I blew up three Hopadillos in the showroom freezer in January. That was a bitch.

 

[Rhetorik]

Lunch time. Leftover chili. More coffee.

Never read it, nope.

Added to the list. Sounds great.

What appen'd to question of the day.

Were the ratings too low?

I'ven't yet read No Country, but it's on my short list. (I loved The Road and Blood Meridian). The movie version of No Country was great, but having seen it I really wish I'd read the book first.

Maybe I'll read that on my vacation instead of Time Lords 2034.

 

[1977Brewer]

Cormac McCarthy is a treasure and everyone should read every word he ever wrote. Well, everyone who likes character studies about deeply flawed people. I'm almost there. I think I'm short two novels and a screenplay. Blood Meridian will pretty much ruin the Western genre for you.

Same, or I will forget.

Does the new ss pump head come with bigger blades? I've heard replacing these can really have an impact on throughput.

I don't know how you guys brew without a pump. I used to feel like I did an ironman after brewday prior to the pump. Brewday is so much more enjoyable now with one.

Sorry for all the brewing chatter during book club meeting. Carry on.

The Road made me ugly-cry at least five times. Every Dad should read it, as terrible as it is to get through.

I've been looking at pumps and whatnot but I just don't like spending money on equipment. Maybe some day.

You haven't read Time Lords 2034 yet? What are you even doing with your life?
DO YOU EVEN READ BRO? Omg. I. Can't. Even. Right now.

I read the first couple chapters on the Amazon Look Inside! Kindle preview thingy.
