Huh. My yard is grass and plants. Seems yours is painted bricks

I’ll just address one of the many incorrect things you’ve said, in that this assumption that he “defected to Russia” is utter nonsense. He was trying to get to I believe Ecuador and his passport was revoked while in the Moscow airport. He effectively lived in the airport for about a month IIRC (it’s been a long time since I’ve had to debunk this BS) before Putin granted him asylum.

Bottom line, he’s not in Russia by choice. He’s effectively trapped there, unable to travel, until the US State Department overturns the ban.

How many amendments has the CM had?

Don’t give them any ideas

WITNESS ME!

When I was younger I’ve definitely made fun of friends who order “girly” drinks, and have in turn been made fun of when I do it. It’s pretty standard among males in my generation (X) and older. Usually happens when everyone else in your group is ordering “manly” drinks like beer or hard liquor.

It doesn’t even have to be something like a cosmopolitan, it could be a gin & tonic, or rum and coke. If they’re all drinking bourbon on the rocks and you order something even slightly less strong, you’re going to hear about it.

Then there’s the times where the first guy orders a beer, then the next guy has to trump him with a run and coke, then the next guy gets a whiskey on the rocks, so then it gets one upped with a whiskey neat. Next thing you know we’re smoking crack in the alley. Just kidding about that last one, but you get the idea. We thought we were being macho, but we were idiots in our early 20s, so shrug

I don’t know if I’d call the guy behind Adult Friend Finder a “tech boss”

I thought this was a posting to “Idiots of Facebook” at first. Guess I’m the idiot

That’s typically less than a beer per hour. I get a buzz if they’re IPAs or other high APV beers, but otherwise I just like the mellowing effects

Appreciate the fact you can force your pee stream further now. I don’t know when I lost the ability but I do remember when I tried to and nothing happened. It was a shocking reminder I was getting old

Whew! I drink 4 or 5 beers daily and have for years. None of those listed markers applies to me. I don’t drink to get drunk, just to relax.

Then why do Formula 1 teams spend so much money on wind tunnels?

I rarely drink either as I’m caffeine sensitive, but if I need a few sips to get me going I go for the burnt bean soup over the dirt tasting weak leaf soup

The real shame is they didn’t make it to their next stop on their trip: Ukraine.

This is why we can’t have nice things
