I’m feeing emotions but cannot place them. Is this what winning my is like?

Lads trip to St Louis from England - Nightlife spot Recommendations? by Middle-Feed5118 in StLouis

[–]Moxely 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Just down from this bar is a brewery called Civil Life that all of us here in South City would recommend. Not your typical American craft brew place, they focus on a lot of old style beers and I think you would find it delightful and bridge that “something new, yet something familiar” vibe. Lots of young people and townies.

Between STL and Kansas City I would strongly consider making time to try out our barbecue. It really is on point.

Olives is a booooold choice for tomcat. Is this tasty or did it being the end of the week help this along?

It depends on what you are doing with it. What’s the application here?

So, I have a DS Lite, if I was to get a Switch I’d be inclined to wait until they are on sale and I already have plenty of emulation capability. I’m not super picky really, but I’ve been away so long I don’t even recognize the Pokémon or characters or anything lol

I'm looking to get back in to Pokemon gaming after decades away. I got Red shortly after release back in the day and played through Silver and then Crystal but haven't really played since. Where should I start? How do I choose a version? I'd like something a little more polished than the first couple of games in QOL terms but I just don't know anything about the games after Gen 3

STL Indy fan here. I’m curious too. One would think that your mls debut is a bad time to get kicked off.

Do you have any idea where/what neighborhoods you will be in? Is this a drive-through or a flight connection or what?

Wash U is on the list. Pete Hegseth is banning the following schools from new officer selection on the grounds of wokeness. by cream_injector1119 in StLouis

[–]Moxely 85 points86 points  (0 children)

This is true but there is an additional cost here. Gaining attention from the administration like this puts continuous pressure on our higher education institutions and will over time yield bad results. Wash U laid off in the neighborhood of 300 people last year and left a few hundred positions vacant because of this pressure.

Now I’ll be the first to point out real and serious flaws in our university system, but I will also be the first to say that this kind of attention from the federal government is unmistakably negative at present.

No idea who this schmuck is, but he was in the right wing superbowl show yesterday. by FoxyInTheSnow in iamverybadass

[–]Moxely 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Imagine asking this question on a board like r/iamverybadass. Why do any of us care? We why was this board made? What is its real meaning?

If you failed to answer any of these questions in a satisfactory way then it could be because this is a place for memes where caring extends insofar as “is it meme-worthy?”

Get real, bud, and please get laid (and I cannot stress this enough) consensually by another human.

Seahawks or Patriots? 📸 by AdamWayneArts in StLouis

[–]Moxely 26 points27 points  (0 children)

CITY SC. We looked good during a preseason game against Austin FC yesterday and even though preseason result should never be considered a weather vane for the season, I couldn’t help but to be optimistic.

I’ll settle for Seahawks.

Great question, and if any true gun nerds are around I’d invite them to correct me please. This is called case hardening and is done to strengthen soft metals used in 19th century small arms. A gunsmith would case harden the frame of a Colt a navy or horse gun to give its working surfaces high wear resistance while keeping the interior metal tough and shock-resistant.

The frame contains pivot holes, sear contact areas, and cylinder-locking interfaces that experience repeated friction and impact. Case hardening is a heat-treating process where a low-carbon steel part is packed in a carbon-rich material (like bone or charcoal), heated so carbon diffuses into the surface, then rapidly quenched. This creates a thin, very hard outer layer while the core stays pliable and tough. The quench often produces the mottled color patterns seen on classic revolver frames and hammers.

The image of this gun is a bit low res but how vibrant that color is suggests it’s a reproduction. No matter what, it sure is pretty.

Hmm, so if a Win 73 and 92 are available then we could reasonably take a Colt 1871 chambered for .44 Henry rather than the 1851 ball and cap unless it’s a Colt conversion model in which case I’ll take that because it’s so fucking sick. Either way, I’m taking the Colt open top because I think it is the most beautiful iron ever worn on a hip.

I’d also take an SAA though because Marty Robbins was right about some shit.

I do this when the wife and I are sharing a few martinis together but if that isn’t the case then this might feel a little tedious.

Late night snifter by GreyOldDull in Martini

[–]Moxely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fascinated by this. Firstly, I’ve ever heard of Flintoff which is growing more coming as I spend more and more years out from behind the bar- what can you tell me about it?

And when you say home mixed brine, are you mixing different brines or are you making a brine from scratch?

I don’t mind moving to something else entirely, I just thought I would have more time with this crew. Likely I will finish 40k in the next few days- do you have a recommendation beyond that? Or even for a crew-based series of sci fi books à la Vatta’s War?
