US Elections 2016
You are really starting to sound like one of the crazy conservative radio hosts that make their money off hyperbole and shock jock antics. I don't like her politics and won't vote for her, but trying to demonize her when Trump is running across the way is hilarious. He's a much better target.

I'm loving the Story time mode in Pillars, I was able to clear out the Caed Nua dungeon in an hour instead of a week.

The drinking thread
Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb would work I thought about that, but my wife hates the stuff and I know I'll need to share. Granted she tends to drink her fireball with hard ciders. edit: Hot chocolate sounds intriguing. edit 2: Cherry pepsi works decent. I really need to learn more about mixed drinks, they are a mystery to me.

The drinking thread
Was in the mood for a mixed drink, so I picked up some fireball. Now I'm trying to decide what to mix it with. I have a cherry pepsi, I think I'll try that. Should have got rumchata to go with it.

Getting in a huff about changing terminology is just as ridiculous as getting in a huff about terminology.

Well card counting isn't illegal or anything, it is just frowned on. If I ever made it to the point of getting interest from the pitboss, I'd consider that a success. I tried a few of those online drills to see if I could keep track, it's extremely hard unless you have a good head for numbers. In addition you need a decent bankroll and all it really does is give you the edge instead of the house. You turned $3 into enough for dinner and a ride? That's a pretty big win margin. I'm pretty happy if I win enough for a dinner, but usually it's more like win $20 here, lose $20 there, slink away after 20 minutes.

I'm curious if Ballast Point will continue to be as inventive now that they are owned by Coors. I hope so. All the San Diego places seem to charge more than the usual. Some are worth it, of course.

I just read a book on Bob Stupak, it was a great read and it started with his dad running dice games in Pittsburgh. Honestly I do very little gambling. I love the idea of winning some money, but chicken out very quick. I go for the alone time with the missus, the great food and drinks, and the spas. Like Gromnir, I used to be thoroughly uninterested in Vegas and thought it was tacky and a money pit. But then I went with my wife for a hockey tourney, and I realized you can get great rooms for great deals, experience a wide selection of amazing dining options for cheaper than I get in San Francisco, and there isn't a kid in sight (for the most part.) As a person who has kids and works with kids all day long, going to a place geared completely towards adults is a huge escape.

With Disneyland out of the way, I'm focused on planning a romantic trip with the Missus to Vegas in April. I've got a flight booked, fancy room picked out, couple massage planned, and dinners reserved. I did have a brief moment of insanity and think about booking this exclusive dining experience called e by Jose Andres. http://www.yelp.com/biz/%C3%A9-by-jos%C3%A9-andr%C3%A9s-las-vegas-3 It sounds amazing, but $500 is a bit steep for one night.

I did a quick Google search for that, but didn't turn up anything - mind giving a link or quick rundown on this "story mode"? I can't stand the combat mechanics in PoE at all, so I'm curious... As explained on the update page: So it just gives you a pretty decent advantage in encounters.
