I small factoid came to my attention a couple days ago I thought might be worth looking in to. Today’s date is March 6.
This is my review of Boulevard Brewing Manhattan Social Club:
When I was growing up, I recalled one week out of the year where Bill Clinton was on literally every channel with one exception: KUPT 45. That one just happened to be playing the Suns game. Why was Bill Clinton all over every channel for a week straight? No it wasn’t 1998 and he wasn’t banging interns yet. Okay, he probably was. I am talking about the State of the Union Address.
Since I am working at home, I have access to a much nicer copy of the Constitution than the pocket deal I have at my desk at work, which is handy given I am citing specifically what is required to do this. (Article 2, Section 3)
In years prior to a certain quasi-totalitarian socialist, this was simply known as an “Annual Message”. The majority of which (still) are not given in person, even though the President can convene both houses of Congress to do this.
In 2009 then President Barrack Obama gave an address to both houses of Congress on February 24. In 2017 Trump gave a similar speech to both houses of Congress which if you recall the media insisted it was NOT a State of the Union on February 27. Back to today where we are still waiting for old Joe to address the nation where it previously only took around a month before I have to ignore every channel. Perhaps not we—some people are, and “fact checks” were penned in the last week or two to address the radio silence from Joe at this point.
I am perfectly comfortable with the idea I don’t get to listen whatever falls out of Joe’s, you know…the thing. The expectation however, is some sort of address is necessary and further silence is only going to fuel more conspiracy theories of Joes slow drift into a mental ice cream soup. If I have to witness America’s decline, I at least want to be entertained by a drooling idiot that campaigned on being “competent” and returning to “normal”. So c’mon man, lets hear about the um, you know.
Boulevard Brewing is based out of Kansas City, so when I saw “Manhattan” I assumed it was some kind of play on Manhattan, KS. I am wrong. Very wrong. It is referring to the cocktail. I refuse to step on toes, so I will neither describe nor list the ingredients (*cough* Nephilium *cough*). When I say this is a Belgian Ale made to taste like a Manhattan, I give them credit for creativity but there is only one worthy reaction. Boulevard Brewing Manhattan Social Club: 1.9/5
More? I’m expecting to fly!
this is a Belgian Ale made to taste like a Manhattan
Good grief.
When will they brew a beer which tastes just like Manhattan style clam chowder?
These guys did it.
That sounds as horrible as Joe.
Jeezus that beer sounds like it’s specifically made to induce vomiting
Or bankruptcy.
If this is a 1.9, what does it take to get a 1 or lower? Mexican Sharpshooter is a fraud with an inflated scoring system.
And you are the first to comment on this.
Fraud? Like I have to explain myself to this guy. He’s not even first.
Dirty little secret. The 100 point wine scoring system starts at 50.
He sure isn’t grading on the Baltimore Public Schools curve.
As soon as my head hit the pillow last night, I was hungover. Gonna have to dial down on the fruit- based cocktails. I barely have enough Advil to get through the day.
Also, I wasn’t even close to as drunk as I would think I would have been given the severity of the headache and acid reflux. Not worth it!
So, like Boulevard brewing, you should have stuck with beer?
I should have stuck with (nearly ) straight booze, like a…Manhattan.
I’m trying to avoid hangovers as I get older; the few I’ve had have all been epic, multi-day suffer-fests that tested my will to live.
I have discovered that if you take several grams of L-Tyrosine before you go to bed after a hard evenin’ of drankin’, the immediate and medium-term symptoms of a hangover are greatly lessened (and in some cases virtually disappeared 30 to 45 minutes after I took the Tyro). This was a pleasant surprise to me.
You just need to build up your tolerance. DRINK MOAR!
Science!
Hydration is important as well. If you’re prone to hangovers, try to put a glass of water between each drink.
Waaaaaayyyyyyy ahead of you on that one, d00d. ;-)
When I was younger and used to work in a scuba shop that had 100% oxygen, after a night of hard drinking I’d put a bunch in to an empty tank breath with a regulator for about 1/2 hour.
Hangover gone.
We had a cat once that required oxygen treatments. They wanted like 500 bucks at the vet’s. My wife was all upset and the cat clearly needed it. I looked it up and figured out that my welding tanks were basically the same thing, just without a cert. I rolled them up and flowed the O2 into the little critter’s nose and it worked fine. Prolly cost about a dollar. Cat didn’t make it very much longer after that, but it felt better in the short term.
If Joe gives a SOTU speech, he won’t be able to avoid giving SNL several weeks worth of skits.
The agency I work for has had a couple of pics of Puddin Cup speechifyin’ on the web site home page, and I DMed my colleague and asked if those were the best pics they could come up with, because dude looks both maniacal & hollow. He’s got those eyes and that Joker grin. It’s creepy.
“I think what we have on our hands is a dead shark.”
He does look like a dead shark!

FED ALERT!!!!!!
I dunno… does SNL make fun of Dems anymore?
They do but lovingly (not that I watch it but I’ve seen a few clips).
I think 2008 was the last time they actually lampooned them. https://youtu.be/WMx7IicOYDA
How? They’re not allowed to make fun of anything.
My wife was asking me about Brian Sicknick’s death. I could swear that the head of the capitol police disavowed any idea that he was killed violently the day after the ” violent attempted overthrow of the government” It seems to have been completely memory holed. The closest I can get is non-specific ” conflicting reports from capitol police” The grip these people have on information is truly scary. The internet may be forever, but inconvenient facts are no longer committed to print and easily altered.
You’re correct, I posted an article link from Reuters here a couple of days after the riot where the C Police clarified that he wasn’t murdered. This has been bullshit from the get go.
Can confirm.
Bill was eaten by the watcher in the water. Poor Bill.
It turns out he survived. You can find him grazing in Eregion.
The 1.9 trillion stimulus just passed:

Money’s going to be worth more as toilet paper than as money if we aren’t careful.
Don’t matter how careful we are. It’s those people who are too stupid to realize they are fascists that need to be careful.
Pigs, troughs, etc.
I wonder how many more of these the Dems can shovel down our throats before 2022.
Of course it passed. It was destined to pass, with the only wrench being what little bit Manchin could bargain down.
Money printer go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (x1,900,000,000,000) t!
That’s a lot of zeroes…
The price of gasoline jumped more than 10% in the past couple of days.
Yay, DEMOCRACY! Joe is making the world a better place.
Well, they need something new to restrict travel to elites-only after people stop buying into the COVID shit.
I mean, it’s obvious, right? This great reset shit is about eliminating the middle class and instantiating a new feudal system. I’m not crazy, am I? I mean, I’m crazy but I’m not wrong about that, right?
They don’t want people traveling & forming bonds & intimate relationships & talking to each other in non-monitored environments. The world is the oyster of the powered class, not the common schlub.
I’ve thought I’ve been going crazy while I’ve been going crazy but the fact is I’m fucking right, I’m right and now I can go to sleep.
The thing about crazy is, crazy people never suspect that they’re crazy.
Tell me I’m crazy again, I’ll cut a bitch I’ll cut you
Now, you’re talking!
I texted an ex because I’m drunk and fuck me, I’ll text her again, I swear to god I will
I like to text her new boyfriend. That always makes for laughs!
Tell me I’m crazy again, I’ll cut a bitch I’ll cut you
Avatar checks out.
I texted an ex because I’m drunk and fuck me, I’ll text her again, I swear to god I will
Don’t.
I put this aside for a little bit.
It’s not blatant and in your face, but it is clear Schwab and Malleret want big changes to the world.
Is it still true that food and fuel increases aren’t factored into the official inflation rate? Or am I thinking of something else?
Either way, I’ve been feeling the extra costs lately.
Thank you, party of the working class…cuntes.
Yes.
Fuel and food are not counted in inflation, which is absurd.
Depends.
In Canada, last time I checked, food is factored in, but the statisticians at StatsCan play this little game called hedonic substitution, which allows them to almost continuously re-create the typical “basket of food” with cheaper ingredients (so for example, regular ground beef, if it starts to rise in price, gets replaced with lean ground pork, which is the “pleasure equivalent” of lean ground beef and is of course less expensive per kilogram). Hedonic substitution can play havoc with attempting to track price levels over time.
I believe I read recently that a country was even trying to force McDonald’s to fix the price of the Big Mac to avoid getting dinged on the Big Mac index.
People will try to game any system that’s developed.
Only 10%?
Our gas went from $1.99-$2.09 (depending on the station) to $1.69-$1.79 since the inauguration. Now that the TX mess is over, we’re back down to $1.49ish.
Of course that should read $2.69-$2.79 and $2.49ish.
Stop gloating. We pay about 4 bucks a gallon.
Piss off with that shit.
I paid 3.85 yesterday. Lookee here.
Right now premium gasoline at our stations in town, the only gas my car will take, is 4.09 a gallon. Bay Area suburbs.
2.89 for premium over here.
Right now, cheapest regular gas in Edmonton, after relevant conversions from litres to U.S. gallons and CAD to USD, is about $3.12 USD. And we’re almost the cheapest price in Canada.
If a station had 3.12 prices here, the line would go all the way to a free state where it’s a dollar cheaper anyway.
It helps that the Suncor Energy Refinery is about 18km from my house, and they refine around half-a-million barrels of oil a day into gasoline etc. Transpo costs are virtually nil.
On Christmas Eve I paid $2.239. I was out today and noticed the most common price at stations was $2.779.
Just found another receipt, for November 10: $2.079.
Its over $3 here, but I assume some of is has to do with the recent ice storm in TX. Phoenix is at the end of the pipeline and sees small shortages when hurricanes hit that area.
I’m a homer for Boulevard but sometimes they do tend to crawl up their own assholes for good whiff…Tank 7 and Sixth Glass or GTFO.
From recent reports, it sounds like Duvel (who purchased Boulevard a couple years back) is using them as the face of the canned cocktails the parent company wants to introduce.
I’m not sure that’s the best idea.
I’ve been looking for a VRBO in the Black Hills/eastern WY, and I can’t find one that is private & not in view of several neighbors that I can afford. Most are condos, or cabins at larger resorts, or guest houses on a larger property. It’s interesting, because the big selling point in rentals in the Appalachians is privacy & seclusion. Most of the ones I’m seeing in the Black Hills tout the closeness to town. Is it too much to ask for a vacation rental where I can walk around in my granny panties?
You can still walk around in your granny panties. Just learn to enjoy being an exhibitionist.
DEATH rides a Harley
Despite the coronavirus pandemic, Daytona Beach’s annual Bike Week has brought tens of thousands of motorcyclists to the city and its neighbors this weekend — and few of them are wearing masks.
The city made a bargain with its bars — 60% capacity indoors in return for the permits necessary for temporary outdoor sales and entertainment. The city is trying to avoid what happened at the Sturgis, South Dakota, motorcycle rally in August — that event led to a disputed number of infections around the country, ranging from several hundred to tens or hundreds of thousands.
“Disputed”. Pick a number.
Why not millions?
*****
At John’s Rock N Ride souvenir store, owner Johnny Sanchez was selling a lot more $3 beers than the designer masks he offered for $7. Almost no one is wearing them.
“As far as masks are concerned, they are paying little attention to that,” Sanchez said, with a shrug. “It’s just the way it is. What can you do?”
Get the bear spray ready.
The margins on a $7 “designer” mask must be YOOGE. That’s why he’s slightly disappointed they’re not selling better. LOL
And, hundreds of thousands of people got infected? These people aren’t even trying to make sense anymore. Year long riots resulted in zero infections, remember?
‘…ranging from several hundred to tens or hundreds of thousands.’
Third-hand Smoke.
“ranging from several hundred to tens or hundreds of thousands.”
Christ, talk about spitballing a number. Imma go with either thirty seven or seventy eight thousand three hundred and forty three.
And, hundreds of thousands of people got infected? These people aren’t even trying to make sense anymore.
Every one of those people went home and infected 50 people, who each then infected 50 people, who then infected 50 people…
It was an extinction level event!
The human population was wiped out!
Just like post-Net Neutrality!
I’d dispute that but of course I am dead and the internet no longer exists.
It’s just ghosts in the simulation all the way down.
Road traffic indicates otherwise.
I don’t know, I was a fan of this Manhattan strong ale.
Rye, sweet vermouth, and bitters is the recipe if anyone cares to make a Manhattan.
/looks at the morning links
That’s the one I tried and didn’t really like. Southern Tier has been very hit or miss for me; they make the only pumpkin beer I like, and their stouts are often divine but some of their stuff (despite being styles/flavors I love) just disagrees with me.
Sixpoint (based in Brooklyn, part of the Southern Tier/Victory family now) made a hopped pumpkin beer which was the only one that I ever enjoyed.
Southern Tiers’ dessert beers generally go far too sweet for my tastes, but their pale ales and IPA’s are really solid. They also have some decent spirits as well.
Too sweet… yep, that Creme Brulee is hard to finish a whole can. Sixpoint is the canned beer option at all of the beach concessionaires on both our City boardwalk and the FedGov section of boardwalk through Riis Park.
Can! Can! Luxury!
First time I had the Creme Brulee was in a bomber. I worked my way through all 22 ounces of that butterscotch diabetic coma.
Two years ago, a group of us spent several hours in the Southern Tier taphouse here in Cleveland as they had opened just a couple weeks earlier, and all of the local bands were booked. So it was quiet, fast service, and good drinks.
A well made Manhattan is the best old-timey type drink but Manhattan flavored beers do not appeal to me.
There are only a few Southern Tier available where I am. I’m not sure its one I will look for.
Do any of you degenerates watch Smoke n’ Scan on the Youtubes?
The name sounds familiar, I think Donut Operator has used clips from his feed. I checked him out and I dig on the concept, but 4 and 5 hour videos?!? That’s a tough nut to crack.
It’s good as background noise – you can pay more attention if stuff starts happening.
Anyhoo, he raised enough money to hire his own helicopter next Friday for 3 hours, with camera rig, cameraman, etc. Now they just need a police chases to happen.
80 American here, so I’m hitting the Hefe at my local. Tight Jeans seems to be off today, so I have Funny and Competent serving today. Es bueno.
Low 30’s here, girlfriend got to see sugar maples being tapped and the sap boiled down into syrup in three different styles. Then the local brewery had a cask Ohio hopped IIPA that allowed a fancy new glass (a stemless teku), and a new (to me) porter on tap.
Who will rid us of this blithering quack?
Dr. Anthony Fauci warned Friday that the US may soon be hit with a spike in COVID-19 cases — even though the country has administered more vaccine shots than any other nation.
The recent plateau in cases from record-high post-holiday rates is actually a sign that Americans should mask up and brace for another potential boom in infections, Fauci said while citing past coronavirus data trends at a White House press briefing.
He needs to be institutionalized. The monsters under his bed are making us all crazy.
Pull the other one, it’s got bells on.
Just poured a Smirnoff and Emergen-C. Listening to some greasy rock n roll on WFMU. Wife is frying up some bacon, eggs, and leftover pork chop. It’s gonna be a good day. Might take a nap.
Good deal. I made salmon croquettes with the leftover bits of salmon that wouldn’t lend to whole filets. Mix the salmon up with egg, panko, corn meal(just a bit) and fry in a pan on both sides.
Now I’m trying to take a nap and get warm. I’m freezing my tits off over here! It’s 55 degrees today and I have the house heat off.
55 is balmy.
It’s 23 here.
Put on some socks. If your feet are warm, you’re warm.
I love the booze and vitamins shot. I just swallowed my vit C tablet with a swig of Mich Ultra because I am a finely tuned athlete. Uuurp.
Well-balanced diet!
+ a whole bunch of 11.2 oz curls!
Lol. Nice Simpsons clip for the final review.
I went out last week to a brewpub; the gal with me ordered a tequila sunrise.
No, not the cocktail; a beer called Tequila Sunrise from Karl Strauss brewery.
She pronounced it good, like a hard seltzer.
I’ve been trying to resolve “good” and “seltzer” in my head since then.
A local place made a series of hard seltzers based on cocktails. My sister tried them, and couldn’t even make it through the mix pack.
Yeah, some things are better abandoned than made into a sad imitation. Like Diet Dr Pepper. My favorite sugary cola is definitely Dr Pepper, but if we’re going diet, it’s Diet Coke for me.
The lite half-Cal green Coke wasn’t bad.
*er, part-cal
Huh! I must have missed that when it came out .
Part cal green coke.
Is they still on the market in limited regions?
Nixed with the vid; sorry. Maybe you’d have better luck on the secondhand market with that than with Tab.
Inexplicable hysteria
In few instances, people with no history of mental health challenges have developed severe psychotic symptoms after being diagnosed with COVID-19.
Jennifer Price, of suburban Morris, believes her husband, Ben, contracted what’s been referred to as “post-COVID psychosis” before his death.
Ben Price, a beloved father of two and farmer, died by suicide just days after being treated and released from the hospital for COVID.
“This was another level of something that took over his brain,” Jennifer Price explained.
Jennifer Price said her husband hadn’t experienced mental health issues in the past, and as the days went on, she noticed a drastic change in his behavior.
“He was just really at a level of panic and paranoia and was scared,” she said. “He just kept saying I’m just so scared, I’m just so scared, and he couldn’t even tell you what he was scared about.”
Paranoia was induced.
Of course the cause could never have bveen the incessant drumbeat of terroristic mumbo jumbo. It must have been something he ate.
Nah. The wife killed him.
+2 fish-tank cleaner?
Wouldn’t it be nice if, instead of these endless bullshit speculations, someone had, oh, I dunno, actually performed an autopsy on the guy and tested his brain tissue for traces of the commie cough?
SCIANCE!
1-2% reduction. Its science, bitches!
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7010e3.htm
So many numbers. I’m convinced.
Corellation is not causation. The mask mandates were not a scientific randomized study with control groups where other possible causes were accounted for.
Rather, mask mandates were slapped in place in a hodge podge manner based on political considerations, generally after the peak of deaths or hospitalizations, when the rates were already declining.
Uhhm, pretty sure that is bullshit. But thanks CDC! *grabs balls* MASK THIS BITCHES!
This analysis will mostly leave out the end of the year. They only looked at the effect up to 100 days after the implementation of the mask mandates. Most of them were enacted in May-July. Add 100 days, it is still October. The large wave of cases started growing only in November. It absolutely dwarfed the case numbers in the summer and early fall.
Many mandates were were imposed after the first wave in the spring of 2020 and before the COVID tests became wildly available.
The reduction in the case and death growth rates might be statistically significant but it’s relatively small in absolute numbers. In other words, it’s at best a marginal improvement.
The paper only looked at mandates not how compliant people were. Plenty of people were wearing masks even in locations without mandates.
These are just a few points I’d make after looking at the paper.
The large wave of cases started growing only in November. It absolutely dwarfed the case numbers in the summer and early fall.
This is why I like Tom Woods’ charts.
Thanks for the reminder!
The paper didn’t look at the counties without mask mandates. What if the case growth rates fell there too? It was quite common in many parts of the country in the summer of 2020.
The summer of 2020.
Thirty years from now, 45 y/o men will be sitting around the garage, 3d printing interior parts for the chevy spark they are restoring, talking about 2020 as the year we first couldn’t hang out with people in person or go to work. SO glad I’m an old guy. They’ll probably still be wearing double masks.
Fuck.
I’ve seen double maskers in the wild.
I have taken mine off except for doctors’ offices.
And nothing else happened.
Seriously? What good is it if they didn’t compare it to counties without mask mandates?
They found what they were looking for.
On its own, it is fine. It is a good idea to have everything else constant when you evaluate the impact of an intervention. So, if you look at the same county before and after the mandate then you can argue that everything else stayed the same but the mandate. What the study does it finds that the counties with the same pattern as NYC or Hawaii in this link outweighed the So. California or Miami-Dade counties.
Daily case and death growth rates before implementation of mask mandates were not statistically different from the reference period.
So- noise? Statistically meaningless?
A giant steaming pile of bullshit?
You nailed it on the last one.
?
We’ve been locked down and had mask mandates the whole time. Literally, since March. We were worse in January than any other time. Masks and lockdowns do.not.work! At fucking all!
Granted, most people don’t wear them when outside here, but many do. Everyone wears them when publicly indoors. Everyone.

As it happens, disco is not dead.

Florida snorkeler finds floating bale with nearly 70 pounds of cocaine

Not the Reverend. That’s for sure.

To be honest I would have left the area and not tell anyone. You don’t want to be hanging around when the drug dealers come to pick up their shipment.

Mucking about with that amount of cocaine seems like a good way to commit suicide.
That’s the plot of a whole slew of crime novels, guy finds bunch of drugs/money thinks he’s hit the lotto til the ‘rightful’ owners show up

Just back from booze and grocery shopping. Spent heavy on booze and wife and I were betting on whether the grocery bill would top it – it was a tie (only counting dollars, not cents).
Picked up a 4pk of Dragon’s Milk Bourbon Barrel Stout, a 6pk of Anchor Steam Porter and a 6pk of Gunpowder Falls Pilsner (that’s a local microbrew that is faithful to the German brewing tradition). That pils is for the warmer weather we are expecting latter part of next week, I’ll be drinking the stout or porter tonight while GlibsZoomin’!

Excellent. Reminds me of some of the ones I saw when I was younger.
I will try to post at least one of these every day. Here is my childhood in one photograph. (It is of my brother, not me).
We were swimming in a crystal clear creek alternating between that and shooting a rifle.
https://postimg.cc/phJyrG4f
Reminds me of the home video the brothers made as kids in Patriot.
When my grandfather passed away I found a treasure trove of photos going back 4 generations, including a ton of shots my father took of my youth. I recently discovered that one of my cousins came down with Parkinson’s disease. So I decided to scan them all, store them on memory sticks and mail them to every family member. It was a big hit. It is the kind of thing you always plan to do later but once I found out about the Parkinson’s I figured it was time to stop fuckin’ around and do it.
I think that particular shot was from 1972. I remember that day like it was yesterday. The creek you see in the background is the Salem creek in Catahoula parish.
I’m in the midst of a similar project for both my family and OMWC’s. It’s important to share the photos.
We did some cleaning a while back and came upon a couple of boxes with a bunch of pics that I need to sit down and document for my son. My uncles, grandparents, etc as well as nearer family.
Good on you Suthen for that.
I don’t know how many of these you have posted but this is the second I’ve seen. I really dig them. I think whoever took the pictures really had an eye for it.
DON’T TELL ME I’M STILL ON THIS FECKING ISLAND
