    Blanton's is really good, but you will not find it on any shelf. It's too popular. Elijah Craig is not in the same realm of quality. Yes, its overwhelming, sorry man. Pick a price point you are comfortable with and go to a quality liquor store and find something in that price range and ask for a...

    Did you just call a bourbon "best in slot"....Maybe a short break before TBC?

    No, JW is just bad whisky with a large marketing budget.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Drums will not be mandatory, they will be a crutch. Players know enough now to be able to get through raids just fine, as we saw in Vanilla Classic.

    Really glad to hear you liked it. There's a whole world of great whisky out there, whether American, Scotch, or Irish (or hell, even Japanese these days). Its fun to try and share with friends/family.

    Pappy

    I didn't address your second question, sorry: a light scotch is going to be sweeter and milder than a typical bourbon and should have more fruit, caramel, and cookie notes to it. Now, its a little hard to describe things like this because everyone's nose and taste buds are different. But, I'll...

    Pappy

    There are five regions for scotch production and only one of them - Islay - is heavy with peat and smoke. Highlands is maybe 50/50 on peat/smoke. The others are generally light, mild, and sweet (with some divergence, but not a lot). I'd suggest single malts rather than blends, if you'd like to...

    Pappy

    Uhhh...You do know that not all regions of Scotch has peat or smoke in it, right? There are hundreds of Scotchs that are quite mild and light. That's like saying all burgers are crap because the ones from McDonald's suck. There are some absolutely amazing Scotchs out there, but America gets only...

    I think we can all expect an accelerated release date for raids, just like vanilla.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Nearly a year to the day after Covid fucked up my work schedules, I've been able to play again. I'm thoroughly looking forward to TBC and raiding with the fam once more. Guess I'll just farm some gold in preparation?

    Pappy

    Honestly, it's not worth the cost. As a novice you won't know the difference between a Pappy and a Maker's 46 or a Woodford Double Oak, or a Willett Pot Still, or _______ or _______. What you're buying is hype and a name, but not the appreciation. Bourbon generally isn't aged like Scotch. You...

    84-87 Corolla (or at least its modded to resemble one). Would generally be sacrilege to put a Mazda motor into a Toyota when the Toyota motors are not only more reliable, but easier to make more power.

    Car hunting. Using a broker who knows large majority of the cars (by VIN) and their stories. Knows owners who aren't even selling on the open market yet. STILL can't get a car because too many people with too much money aren't spending it on travel and other things so the market has dried up...

    Glass on the left is classic and will always work. But, you could use any crystal or glass (or ceramic mug) to drink from and it'll be good. What matters much more is whether you drink it neat (as you should most times) or with a few drops of water (which wakes up some whiskey/bourbon) or an ice...

    Car ?'s

    Interesting. In Houston, all trucks from the big 3 are 15-20% if you want them (except Raptors and TRX). Better quality, design, tech than Nissan and Toyota trucks too. Although, it's a truck state and too many are made each year.

    Houston (all of TX) frozen. We have power and gas, but no running water (I'm waiting for the loud bang of a pipe). Our direct neighbors on the street do have water, but our house is much older and definitely not built for this. Some neighborhoods in our area have NO power or water and all told...

    Texas cannot handle snow and ice like the northern states can. We have no infrastructure for the one, maybe two days per year it would be needed. People should know better but, of course, they don't.

    Miniature Painting

    Its definitely a tremendous amount of work. I remember painting my big models in the past and how many dozens and dozens of hours it took. Wish I had the time (and then the group to play with). I routinely watch experts on YT paint GW and other high end models and I'm amazed at how they turn out.

    Well, that went right over everyone's heads. It was a sarcastic comment on GW model costs, not the commission work. I have zero qualms about paying for quality work.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Agree on all points. It's a good looking car. But, the initial outlay of cost, the longevity unknowns, and the limited range are all knocks against it for me. Why get this Audi when I could spend the same amount and get an RS6 Avant, which I love. The only way electric cars can make sense is if...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Looks great. Still not sold on electric vehicles. The production cost exceeds ICE and the power grids around the world are dirty as hell still, so there's no net positive environmental impact. Hydrogen makes so much more sense than electric.

    Power company doing a planned outage "some time in the next week". Umm, ok. When? We work from home now and an outage in the middle of a Zoom call with attorneys, CPAs, or clients is pretty shitty. Oh, and it's scheduled between 2am and 3pm, but they can't tell me when exactly. Does sound all...

    Between WH 1 and WH 2, I have about 400 hours in and I still suck. I just don't think these games are for me. I spent 14 years of my childhood painting and playing WH with a big group and I love the brand to death, but in those 400 hours od total war I only have one winning campaign.

    Austin, Texas

    Austin is a cute mini-California in an otherwise free, non-retarded state. I used to really enjoy the downtown but now I'm just disgusted by the politics and crime spikes and random homeless you'll see pissing on the sidewalk. If you absolutely must go there, stay well outside of the city limits.
