I think someone posted it in the thread about Marc Crawford. Definitely lame that the article is behind the pay wall. Stuff like that should be excluded.

You'd think it would make people want to read more stuff from The Athletic if they can get easy/free access to a well written article about something so important

@d rake @GaryU
It wasn’t you this time, d rake. I wasn’t even logged though. Just browsing and all of a sudden I see this:

It looks like Covid19 is on verge of becoming pandemic



Major outbreaks in South Korea , Italy , Iran and Japan

At this point its reasonable to question if the 2020 Olympics may need to be cancelled though still far to early for such a drastic measure among other things that may be affected

Saw a pretty bad street fight last night when I was out and about. Haven’t been involved in that type of stuff for a few years now so I forgot how bad they look when you actually see them. This drunk dude got hit in the face as hard as I’ve ever seen someone get hit, immediately knocked out, and fell to the ground.

I’m not a young single guy anymore so I tend to avoid the types of place where that stuff can easily happen, but if any of you guys are younger and still in situations where a bunch of people are out drunk, do your best to avoid the fight. Always. It doesn’t make you a p***y. Say what you need to say and stand up for yourself, but always try and avoid it.

I’ve lost fights and won fights and it’s not fun either way. The guy that got knocked out, best case he has a concussion. Looked like he fell on the side of his head and not the front or back, but I hear stories all the time about how dudes end up having to do serious jail time because they hit a guy and he falls headfirst into the street or a curb and they die. Even if we’re not talking extremes...pretty easy to break your hand if you don’t know what you’re doing. Pretty easy for some guy’s friend you don’t see to sucker punch you from the side and break your jaw, knock your teeth out, etc...

i will go even further...... the cost of going to jail trumps everything.... esp if you get into a rough jail cell.

now comes the $$$$ you will have to pay of hospital bills and lawyers and in today's society..... pay civil law suits.

i have been sued twice for being in these altercations.

@x Tame Impala juiced about 30 grapefruits yesterday to make Palomas last night with some Don Julio Reserva. Made sure to make them strong enough to not take too much away from the tequila.

Not that it’s the best tequila ever or anything, but a pretty decent bottle. I think $50-60 ish.

I didn't even know here was a Reserva. You're not talking about the 70, right? How fun was it juicing all those grapefruits :laugh:

It's a problem i haven't figured out how i want to deal with yet at home. I love having fresh lemon and lime juice but it takes a while to get all that juice

Non issue juicing grapefruits by hand. Medium ones are the easiest and usually best bang for you buck in terms of price per pound and amount of juice you can get out of them. Juicing limes and lemons sucks.

This bottle.

Ohhhhh that’s just the Anejo. It’s delicious. We just polished off a bottle of it a few weeks ago. How’d the Paloma’s turn out? What was your recipe?

Didn’t realize that link was the Anejo, we had the Reposado. Bottle looks identical and same price point.

1/3 cup tequila
1/4 cup soda
1/4 cup grapefruit juice
half a lime squeezed
dash of a really thin and light honey
sprig of rosemary

This is like that South Park episode.

You can say "shit" on HFBoards? You can't say "shit" on HFBoards!

And hopefully it doesn't need to be said, but using curse words to actually insult others still isn't allowed, nor are slurs.

Yeah, there was some controversy around this series the other day. Read an article about it. There was a scene that Holocaust organizations did not like being included due to it not being historically accurate.

I haven't watched it yet, but I'm definitely interested, as I'm a huge history buff, and especially military history. It's on my short list of things to watch soon.

Did you see “Jo Jo Rabbit”? Not historical but I’ve seen all of the best picture nominated films this year (expect Ford v Ferrari) and it was my favorite of the bunch.

as i mention, in Hunter they mention some new facts with ref to historical events that i never even heard of. that blew me out of the water and i study everything i can on history.

I haven't yet.

Movies have taken a back seat for me since so many TV shows started to come back for the second half of their seasons, recently.
