    when pot is legal I wonder if it will be legal to brew beer with pot in it

    probably be a giant hassle to get cleared for that

    i hear that hops and marijuana are really closely related tho

    yeah I think they're in the same family

    I was thinking of it like the old absinthe that had hallucinogens or whatever

    i think it turned out that absinthe being hallucinogenic was like 99% myth

    like, thujone is mostly just toxic and not used in the needed concentrations in absinthe to trigger those sorts of effects anyhow

    iirc, absinthe became faddish and available at about the same time that distilled liquor became low-cost enough that the general population could afford it

    so parisians who were used to drinking wine and beer instead were sucking down absinthe (100-140 proof and sometimes up) in immoderate quantities and getting really really fucked up

    oh, interesting

    It was also a time when all kinds of drugs were freely available and heavily used. Someone could well have been tripping balls because of something else they took and blamed it on the Absinthe.
    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    American absinthe is basically licorice liqueur as wormwood is the main ingredient in real absinthe.

    Charcoal is only a hassle if you consider lighting stuff on fire a hassle.

    And last I checked everyone's favorite child hood toy was fire.

    Really, the problem with charcoal is morons using too much lighter fluid.

    So you taste lighter fluid instead.

    But errybody knows wood chips are best grill fuel anyway.

    and people never read the directions on the bag. You have to let the charcoal heat up for quite a while after lighting. Even if you use too much lighter fluid if you let the coals heat properly it would have burned off by then.

    Like, Luanne was pregnant for something like three seasons.

    I think the fetus just calcified or some shit.

    how DOES a fetus calcify?

    I'm just wondering, I'm not going to do anything terrible with the information.

    <.< >.> <.<

    It's a rare medical condition that arises in certain women when a miscarriage occurs, if I remember correctly, because the fetus doesn't attach correctly to the womb and is slightly off location so to speak.

    I like that CT has a Women's Basketball coach as the highest paid.

    What a joke m i rite ??

    More like a bit of pride.

    Oh.

    I thought this conversation was going in a much more casually misogynist direction. My bad.

    Understandable. But I grew up in Connecticut. Men's basketball was a powerhouse in the 90's when I was a student at UConn but the Women's team was one of the two dominant teams in Women's basketball.

    Edit: Holy shit, I fucking hate the Chrome spellchecker.

    I mean, this article from the aforementioned blog isn't bad per se -- it more just states the obvious, ostensibly for the benefit of Clueless White People -- but I do wish anyone gave this much benefit-of-the-doubt and acknowledgement of group disparity to basically any group that isn't in the U.S. Turks are Turks; Arabs are Arabs; etc. On the international stage, groups we like are Groups We Like and Trust; groups we don't like or trust are Groups We Don't Like or Trust. There isn't room for differentiation or nuance.

    Except if your banging back Ouzo then you're likely in the company of some very excitable Greeks. So you know it's gonna be a good time. With Absinthe you can expect moody writers. So...not so much fun.

    Friend of mine used to drink Absinthe straight out of his hip flask.

    Yes, I had acquaintances in high school who owned and wore on their person a hip flask at all times.

    yeah

    it tastes like getting kicked in the mouth by the fennel gang

    and left bleeding beside the street

    really i kind of like it, but it is super licoricey/ anisey.

    fun fact about absinthe:

    when you add water, it turns cloudy.

    why?

    because the high-proof alcohol is supersaturated with fennel oil. it literally cannot hold any more.

    when you add water, this changes the saturation tolerance of the absinthe and the fennel oil leaches out into the solution, making it cloudy

    I went to an absinthe bar in Dallas once.

    Fun experience. Nice ambiance and the ritual of making the drink was fun.

    Horrible drink though.
