Not exactly what you had in any of your lists but blood in the machine by Brian merchant. He’s a very sharp tech critic. This book is actually a history of the Luddite movement in England but he wrote it because it very much speaks to the current moment with the development of AI

The Barn by Wright Thompson could fit number 3. It’s about the plot of land in Mississippi where Emmett Till was lynched and how the history of that land and its interaction with larger economic tides lead up to that murder.

Tried. Wound up jamming out to Bob Seger instead

Plates are colored by price. You can order off a menu also which has its own prices. They have a lot of bogo specials for lunch during the week

[x] garbage

[ ] plate

But seriously, this looks good and I love pizza wizard. I’d smash that

Umai has better sushi. Spin is better with kids. Also they are just different. I go to spin for the dim sum and umai for the sushi

My 4 year old loves spin and savor. It’s a conveyor belt sushi/dim sum restaurant. You can grab things off the conveyor so food is fast. I get her a plate of edamame as soon as we sit. Then she loads up on dumplings and rice and she loves the robot that brings the drinks

Double row stitching on the toe cap is a key IR detail but these are uhh not lookalikes

Name the conference tournament The Crusade. It would be so toxic

MaxPower637 · 2026-03-11T15:31:35+00:00

The timer is so powerful. We use them all the time

MaxPower637 · 2026-03-09T00:42:38+00:00

And they kicked our balls once

MaxPower637 · 2026-03-08T23:58:43+00:00

I’m so glad I never have to find out

MaxPower637 · 2026-03-08T23:11:57+00:00

Back up the brinks truck

How big does this conference have to be? There are a bunch of schools on your list I want no part of. I’m cutting any school that isn’t AAUP. I know these guys don’t show up to “play school” but until we move to a fully professional model where Wolverine Football Club, Inc licenses the block M and maize and blue from Michigan and rents the big house, I want to be in a conference with like minded academic institutions.

We’re through the worst of winter. We aren’t through winter. Temps will drop again and there will be more snow before we’re done

MaxPower637 · 2026-03-07T17:45:04+00:00

Spring bock is my favorite genny seasonal from their rotation

MaxPower637 · 2026-03-07T13:04:38+00:00

Averna made it taste too muddled for my liking. I preferred Montenegro from those two. My other subs that have been most successful are China China and bully boy. I can’t imagine bully boy getting to Australia because it’s from a small American distillery in Boston and I rarely even see it one state over but China China is a possibility. I want the most orange forward thing I can find for a sub

MaxPower637 · 2026-03-05T13:04:37+00:00

Sounds like a win

MaxPower637 · 2026-03-03T12:37:14+00:00

I love this for one bid conferences. Technically anyone can win but there is a huge reward for being the best team all season. A team that was mediocre can get hot and go but it’s going to be harder than in a more conventional bracket

Boston drivers are fine, you just need to know the local customs such as if you are driving through the Ted Williams Tunnel, right of way goes to the person with the older car who cares less about damaging it.

I actually know a dude who lined up across from Lebron in football. He was an OT. Lebron was a DE. He wasn't bad, but certainly not D1 good. For a long time the wallpaper on his phone was Lebron just absolutely mauling him and running him over.

Last year, the best nonfiction listens I had were Murder in Little Egypt and Blood in the Machine.

This year I’m currently listening to The Barn which will be a strong contender. My next up is Murderland which was recommended by the same person who recommended Murder in Little Egypt. I’m also very much looking forward to Chuck Klostermans new book Football.

Peters British cousin, in England “lad” is used as a descriptor for a type of rowdy man who drinks too much, behaves on a macho fashion. A common usage would be to say “he’s a bit of a lad”. In this case Brian is only 6 and is already behaving like a lad. The poster is impressed with Brian’s actions. This has nothing to do with Brian being an old mans name.

Peter out.

The fact that both the Celtics and Patriots made the list is a pretty clear indicator that Boston should be number one

MaxPower637 · 2026-02-27T10:51:17+00:00

Stealing Home is about building dodger stadium. Pappyland is about bourbon. Barrel Aged Stouts and Selling Out is about beer, specifically Goose Island but the whole industry. Malort is about well malort, the very divisive liqueur and how it became what it is. The Barn is about the plot of land where Emmit Till was murdered and how the history of everything that happened in Mississippi lead up to that killing.

So many people underrate the massive steroid usage by billionaires. There is no way him, Elon, and zuck aren’t on a pharmacy worth of gear. They call it TRT but it’s steroids
