  1. They say someone at my workplace has a suspected case (there are a thousand or so people at my site).  They've told people to work from home if they want to.  I have to be in the lab, so I'm still here, though.

    I'm guessing that within a few days they'll mandate that everyone work from home.

    And the DNC need to learn, they need to drown in the stench of their failure.

    That's what I thought in 2016, I thought they'd learn for sure, but they obviously haven't.

  3. I have a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering but I didn't want to work in a chemical plant so I started specializing in Rheology, which is the study of how things deform and flow.  I have a job at a personal care products / pharma company where I work with the people who make the new products such as sunscreens, lotions, body wash, soap.  I develop models to predict the stability and aesthetics (look, feel, overall consumer acceptance) of the products.  Generally work 8 - 4, M - F and really enjoy my job (at the moment).

    Just gonna drop this here, Robert Reich has grown a lot on me over the past couple of years for his ability to cut through the bullshit.  He's right about it not being a left v. right issue but a vertical one.

     

    I honestly do not know what I'm gonna do if it goes to a contested convention and Bloomberg gets the nomination because he's "bought" enough superdelegates.

    I'm fine with voting for the "lesser of two evils" if my favorite candidate doesn't get the nomination and the nominee won fair and square (as fair as it can be), but I don't yet know how I would feel if I was forced to choose between Trump and Bloomberg, the latter having secured the nomination through the shady scenario described above.

    new haven has the best pizza in the world and there is absolutely no discussion to be had. It's just the objective truth. Pepe's, Sally's, Modern, BAR, Da Legna... the list goes on

    Word.

    I lived in Hamden, CT for a year and would occasionally swing by Pepe's for a margherita or clam pie.  Damn, I miss it.

    It’s like model building with no risk though. I dunno. Just not for me. That’s cool though. Think I was feeling extra crotchety last night cause of helping my kid with her LEGO efforts lol

    There are some second-hand Lego shops around me that sell bulk bricks by weight.  I'm thinking of buying a bunch of technic / regular bricks because I'm building a Rube Goldberg contraption and just making it up on the fly as I build.

    If Biden gets the nomination, would you:

    1. Vote for him,
    2. Write-in a vote,
    3. Not vote,
    4. Vote for the Republican candidate (possibly Trump)

    i pick #3

    Isn’t that effectively handing a vote over to the republicans?

    I've thought about this a lot, and my original position was to do a write-in, but I've changed my mind and would vote for Biden if he got the nomination, but not be happy about it.

    My original position (write-in) was to give the Dems the finger because they didn't nominate who I wanted, and if enough people did that, maybe they'd change, but I realize now that that's pretty stupid.  However, I now think that it's much more important that people get out and vote in the primaries if they wanna effect change in their party.  If their candidate didn't get the nomination, they could still feel better about perhaps voting for the lesser of two evils.

    I would love to quaff many flagons of these peculiar named ales, with a fine fellow like your own good s(elf) . Java Head Stout sounds particularly fantastic!! 

    I haven't tried the Java Head stout, but I did get a stout that I knew was good in CBS (Canadian Breakfast Stout, brewed with coffee and chocolate and aged in bourbon barrels that had just aged Michigan maple syrup).  Take a gander.

  11. I have to host the in-laws and extended family for a Christmas dinner party.  Only good thing is that I get to choose the beer.  They better enjoy drinking some Troegs perpetual IPA, mad elf, java head stout; founders CBS and blushing monk, and victory sour monkey.

     

    If not, then I am still stocked for the holidays.  Win-win.
