…nah man, i’m here for casual conversation; nothing at all shameful about honest ignorance, only willful ignorance…

…because it’s a plainly ignorant statement akin to “i don’t like french music”: do you just dislike music malt whisky?..that’s a fair statement, but one which would apply to all malt whiskies regardless of nation of origin, as there’s no unifying style distinguishing scotch in particular…

…conversely, if you don’t mind other malt whiskies but dislike something specific about scotch, that’s indicative of narrow experience coloring your expectation of a vast ecology of styles and expressions which have little in common other than being based on barley, water, distillation, and age…

…“i don’t like scotch” is a common statement from folks who’ve only sampled peated malts; your listerine comment sounds like medicinal peat notes, which are a divisive style…

…i generally prefer windows open to the world but i’ll concede that it’s niiiiice, though: i never sleep better than nestled underneath a blasting window-box on a hot summer night…

…‘scotch’ encompasses such a vast diversity of spirits that i presume anyone who blanket-dislikes it either 1) doesn’t like malt whisky in general, fair enough, or 2) mis-apprehends a specific style as endemic to scotch whisky as a whole…

…the latter folks typically dislike peated malts, often after sampling bottom-shelf blends…

…i went to school in the tropics without air conditioning, neither in the classrooms nor dormitories, and it still feels like self-indulgent opulence to me every time i come home to air conditioning, even four decades later…

…thanks to takedown bots, this is the most-complete version of the original video i can find on youtube; funny enough it still works pretty well!..

…i was going to say 16 ⅔ feet based on 1 ½ meters being about 5 feet, pretty close…

…with some clever geometry, it could be sized for metric-integer weight, length, and volume…

…those are some tiny potatoes or ginormous bananas in either case…

…recursive eisenhower method works well for me: it’s effective + simple-enough not to be bogged-down by overplanning…

(did you miss this one?)

…hot tub time machine was way better than it had any right to be…

…i begrudgingly walked into the theatre expecting rogue one to be another yet installment of phoned-in franchise slop and walked out having watched the best star wars film since 1977…

…it’s not so much that those traits are considered feminine as that they’re not considered masculine: thicker body / facial hair and a deeper voice are hallmarks of post-pubescent testosterone, and considered indicative of the transition from boyhood to manhood…

…note that those transitions aren’t the same across all ethnic groups; east asian populations, for example, generally exhibit less-pronounced post-pubescent dimorphism than west asian populations…

…it’s what he avoids: russian carrots are accompanied by russian sticks and trump’s kompromat runs decades deep, capital-punishment deep at this point…

…his only course of survival is to double-down on whatever his handlers ask of him…
