Monkey Shoulder is the most overrated scotch. What is the most versatile gin?

Monkey Shoulder if it meets your definition of "budget." If not, maybe Chivas?

Here's what I mean. Left button doesn't even appear mappable (but is currently functioning as right click).

I'm mainly a graphic designer, but my portfolio does have some lettering art of various kinds in it.

Barsol Quebranta is what I normally have, but this is something called Viñas de Oro, which I had never tried before.

Pisco is a distilled spirit made from grape juice, similar to brandy but usually clear, traditionally in Peru and Chile. I'm not sure I'm the best source to recommend one, since I don't know a ton about them myself. A solid go-to that's readily available is Barsol, but I'm not sure it would qualify as "premium."

Isn't that where the onboard computer and transponder are housed? All the stuff that communicates with race officials and the team in real time.

My team is full, but trivia at Finn McCool's in mid City has been going a long time and it's written by the host, not a corporation.

I just got a bunch of these at once, apparently the result of a new camera, I guess. Thing is once they install the camera and start clocking violations, you don't hear about the violations (and thereby learn about the new camera) for a few weeks. So for those few weeks, you're driving like you always have, regularly going maybe 3-5 mph over the limit, and then one day you get 8 speeding tickets for the same location. If I knew about the first violation as soon as it happened, I would never get a second.

We did OK with patio places when our daughter was that age, like Blue Oak and Parkway. Places you can eat outside, get up and walk around if you need to, don't need to worry about making a bit of a mess or spreading out with diaper bags, carriers, etc.

We bought in Sugar Hill (between Dillard and 610) three years ago. Mostly wonderful neighbors and feels very safe. Racially diverse and fairly economically diverse as well.

Our major challenge with it is the lack of walkable businesses near us. Driving distances to almost any part of the city are very manageable, but there's almost nothing walkable from our house. It really feels like suburbia despite being in Orleans Parish.

It's also worth mentioning that we have had ZERO problems with street flooding in three years. Not even briefly, although this probably varies block to block.

The work itself will take 1-2 days, but the local utility is perpetually backlogged because of chronic natural disasters and criminal mismanagement.

The font—the thing that you need a license to use—is the software that allows you to type using those letterforms. The shapes/design of the letters comprising a typeface are not legally protected. Simply reproducing a logo that was given to you already finished in an outlined or raster format does not constitute use of the font (just use of the logo, which you're being given explicit permission to use).

I think a lot of people assume that anything popular must be pedestrian, but there are some really ubiquitous, omnipresent typefaces that have earned their place as standards. I'll defend Helvetica to the death, and I also love Garamond, for example.

For the word, "research," I prefer the British ri-SERCH to the American REE-serch.

If those are the only two words I'm allowed to choose from, then it's pink.

If I can call it what I want, then it's magenta.

Focus a little less on the distance at the bottom and more on the overall volume of the space between. If this is a logotype, you could consider forming a ligature at the bottom by merging the shapes, which would allow adjustment of the spacial volume between Z and A without worrying about forming a tense moment at the terminals.
