My local butcher was out of pork shoulder and instead of settling for loin, I had to walk .25 miles to the other grocer.

Just had to cancel my ski trip over Thanksgiving because the November weather is apparently too hot at Snowshoe Resort in WV for snow.......so they're not opening the mountain till December 4th and I cannot go then.
Now I will be forced to spend time with and talk to family members over Thanksgiving.

Yea I'm definitely going in Jan or Feb.
Went to Snowshoe in late February right before Covid hit this year when they had a bunch of snowfall and it was an amazing few days on the mountain for east coast skiing.

I've now gotten used to 2x and can't say how many times I go to settings to crank it up, not realizing it's already max.

Did I post about how cans with dents have to be returned recently when talking about trolling those people? Return a can to the store with dents and they have to refund you. There's a lot of science behind this.

Botulism, caused by the bacteria clostridium botulinum, occurs when a dent or damage to a can creates even a pinhole-size opening. ... Dented cans are the biggest culprit of botulism. Avoid buying cans with deep dents, especially ones that affect the top, bottom and side seams of the can.

Unfortunately, some people with strong hands can't but avoid to dent every can when picked up. It's a real tragedy... for some companies.

Any time I pick up a new potential hobby I spend countless hours trying to learn about the equipment so I don't make a stupid purchase. Normally I'm fine with that.
I decided to start drinking bourbon instead of beer, my wife who always sports my hobbies, bought me amazing glasses for it. I can't convince myself that she did enough research and here I am endlessly looking up glasses. It's insane. I should be practicing my new hobby, drinking bourbon.

Buy 5-6 glasses, pour the same bourbon inside, let them rest a few minutes then drink, note the one you enjoyed the most.
Repeat a few time with different bourbon until you find the glass you're looking for.
For my whisky I have two types of glass, the classic Glencairn and some fancy Peugeot glass that comes with a steel coaster you put in your freezer to cool the whisky a bit down (17°C or something).
They both have the same shape - it's supposed to reduce evaporation.

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 cube (unless you are making a cocktail, don't).
This is much, much more important research than what you are drinking it out of: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCElm866_W5r1eg8VjhFNARw

Whisky, scotch, bourbon - some are better at room temperature, some with a drop of water, some with a metal ice cube, and if you wanna imbibe heavily, one of those huge sphere ice cubes can last 3-4 glasses.
I like those small, tapered at the top glasses (oversized shot glass) for scotch that lights up the throat on its way down. Holds the flavor. Sweeter scotches are fine in a standard circular glass. Heavily flavored, darker barrel cast or blends do really well in large bottom, angled/tipped glasses with a slight taper.
At least, that's my preference on things.
