My life as a theater fan whose girlfriend is apparently the one bisexual who hates musicals

Apple is always good, or anything with fresh grown/foraged berries in peak season (we have black raspberry bushes that grow along one of the fences at my community park's soccer field that are always the perfect tartness; my girlfriend's family has blueberry bushes that make for an excellent pie)

Fucking love Joel

I approve of your selection and will be inviting myself over for the next holiday cookout (I will bring a grill and some burgers/dogs if necessary)

My geography bee champion skills have served me mostly well in this endeavor (977 final score today, my record is 993)

In the aftermath

You go to ground in the box you've gotta be perfect, especially from behind. If there's any reason the ref believes there's contact with the player (which there is) he's gonna give it.

We also gotta exclude this datum regardless since UCL refs aren't PL refs

Came here to say this

There must be something about the grass in Madrid

I agree even if I'm a filthy snob who insists on calling it zhengshan xiaozhong

Lookman broke the trend of failed signings scoring against us!

As a craft beer guy who brews his own they're cheaper or on par with most of the beers I would buy, so I figure it's the same budget

Yeah I've never found anything non alcoholic that hits like a good IPA when I'm in the mood. But I think the hop teas are good enough to grab instead of a random lager on a random Tuesday

There's a place called hoplark that makes hopped sparkling iced teas that are my preferred substitute. Certainly not beer but fits the experience. And there's a lot of options from seltzer to fruity to soda to mostly tea to more beer like. Mostly 0 sugar 0 cal too (and the others are low sugar)

For me the main issue with NA beers is that they always seem to have a weird aftertaste to me. Not as bad as NA wine in that regard though

Darker beers and higher abv beers have more residual sugars.

Once you get above ~7.5% the alcohol can interfere with the yeast (will depend on the strain and activity/enzyme levels)

When you roast grains darker the caramelized sugars don't ferment

Alright #brewsky enjoying my 2025 edition chocolate oatmeal stout for the last time tonight. I've almost perfected my recipe, with that delightful oatmeal stout mouthfeel and rich chocolate and roasted malt finish. A few minor tweaks and the 2026 edition will be absolute fire. 7.9% abv, 40 IBU

I have a weekend off for the final day. If it comes down to the wire I could find an excuse to visit my brother who lives down your way and bring you a custom home vrew to break your duck...

*while theoretically possible this will not happen for a variety of reasons

Okay but that sentiment requires that it can't get darker and if there's one thing I've learned in 16 years following this club it's that hope is the worst thing to have as a Spurs fan

Trepanning might ease my headache in the long run

I'm getting to it I've had a long day

Whenever any business, service, application, whatever talks about "scaling," what you should hear is "make money at the expense of the user experience." That's what it means. No one has ever "scaled" anything without making the user experience worse.

My Sacrifice (Taylor's Version) was pretty good too

To be fair they set up this panel back in November (these conventions and conferences take a lot of planning) and things hadn't completely gone off the rails yet. The timing couldn't have possibly been worse for sounding tone deaf though

I had a solid case as a conscientious objector but I also had a plan for draft dodging ahead of my selective service registration. I'd highly recommend looking up the standards and planning for how he can get labeled as an F if he doesn't think a CO designation will help enough.

I'm old enough that being drafted isn't a worry but dodging has never been so easy. I could use my torso-length hair to pretend I was trans, I could act super gay and effeminate, and that's not even considering my unresolved patellar tendon injury that was my previous plan
