He did a bit more than call them weiners.

Trump just might be a unifying force after all.

Ah yes, it makes me feel much better to know these guys aren't carrying Nazi flags. Just another frat out on the town! This looks like a friendly protest group:

It makes me sick. I'm not alone, either, it is a huge problem with the whole concept. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/virtual-reality-has-motion-sickness-problem

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the (Obsidian) Forum
Excellent point! Thought all Catholics were trad though All 1.2 Billion of them? Hardly. I doubt Pope Francis even qualifies.

When this whole knee thing started, I thought it was dumb and Kapepernick needed to focus on becoming a decent player again. After the President's comments, I find myself completely in support of those who take the knee and am fully rooting for them. Strange how that works. edit: Because it clearly worked. He made a major impact by taking that knee.

The drinking thread
I believe a prerequisite of running an Irish pub is that you need to be ancient. Netflix had a good documentary on the subject, called The Irish Pub. But yes, Guinness is not fresh in the US. That may change soon, however: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/31/diageo-opening-guinness-brewery-in-us.html A good bar is likely to have better local options, and a bad bar won't know how to treat the lines or pour the beer.

Guinness Draught is notoriously bad in the US.

You did WHAT...?!
Today a co-worker encouraged the ladies of the staff to use the deodorizer's in the bathroom via email. I chimed in that the men should continue as they were, as the shallow gasps needed serve as a stark reminder of how wonderful life is outside of the bathroom.

Were they out of good stouts? I'm kidding, a bit. But really, there are a ton of different types of Guinness, and depending on which ones and where you are drinking it, you will get a different experience. So more should be said. https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/209/

It is always entertaining when two posters who always need the last word get into it.

Ok, I somehow forgot to post about my amazing Vanilla Oatmeal Stout: It had an ABV of 6.5% and tasted smooth and a bit sweet. I loved every drop of it. But it is gone now, and I just tapped my Orange IPA. We started with the IPA recipe, and then put it in a Carboy with orange zest and meat. It tastes great, but I wish I could compare it to my last IPA. I'll need to save some for that someday.

Fox only seems somewhat mature right now because there is a (somewhat) republican in the WH. I am sure they will get back to the culture of victimhood when that changes.

Walter Goggins caught my attention. That guy is routinely the best part of everything he is in (Except Vice Principals, and that's because Danny McBride is so gosh darned charming.) Also fun to see the guy from Shaun of the Dead. I honestly don't see how it looks anything like the Angelina Jolie films. Those looked like standard action adventures. The tone of this looks more serious with a focus on the story. It might turn out to be a bomb just the same, but it is a different approach, much like the recent games have changed the approach. I'm rooting for a good video game movie.

Obviously a very different tone for the Tomb Raider movie. Looks like a pretty solid cast.

Checked in with all my immediate family in Mexico and they are ok. Pretty tragic stuff, hard to watch the updates.
