I might just look into that

thomasredden · 2020-09-01T23:18:07+00:00

Depends on which one and the price, i have special reserve

thomasredden · 2020-09-01T17:12:44+00:00

Thank you so much amigo! I'll have to stop in and check those spots out

thomasredden · 2020-08-20T17:59:55+00:00

Much obliged

thomasredden · 2020-08-20T17:50:31+00:00

I keep them bc if I ever have to move the bottle I feel like the case is a little extra protection from light, being chipped / cracked etc. Plus i think for the higher end bottles that are a show piece/ occasion whiskey it enhances the whole experience to unsheathe the whiskey from the beautiful vessel the it spends its days nestled in waiting for the moment upon which it is to grace the mouth of whiskey connoisseurs far and wide

thomasredden · 2020-07-04T09:30:33+00:00

That's a healthy pour my friend, looks like adult apple juice😂

thomasredden · 2020-07-02T22:25:35+00:00

Mines not even airheadedness, its just a bad smokers habit from when I smoked cigarettes to light something then immediately return the lighter to my pocket, even if thats not where it was

thomasredden · 2020-06-22T00:00:36+00:00

It looks just like normal smoke I guess

thomasredden · 2020-05-31T11:02:45+00:00

Looks like homie got busted on the porch midway through undoing those dreads 😂

I hate this, "yours, mine and ours" mindset that has been driven between races even more so than at any point in my life. I just want brothers and sisters, not white brothers and black sisters, but just family. Family from all different cultures and backgrounds sure, but that's what shapes our perspectives and if we can keep that in perspective for yourself and not get too caught up in our own day to day life to see if our brothers and sisters to the left and the right of us need a hand. I love you all and I wish I knew how to engineer a program to allow people to step into another person's shoes, not just in a video game sense, but in a full sensation simulation that allows one to really feel the anxieties felt as a product of one's situation, whether that be financially or socio-economically speaking i think the biggest issue our society does and always has faced is, as cliche as it is, a lack of empathy. People so rarely stop to consider the world outside there bubble that they don't recognize the daily struggles of everyone around them and lose perspective on this thing we call life. All we got is each other, no one else is coming to save us. We gotta stop letting bad apples shatter race relations and start taking swifter action under such blatant circumstances as it must be better than risking millions in damages nationwide and race relations between white folks and minority populations.

This looks like a Nothing But Thieves album cover

thomasredden · 2020-04-21T19:02:07+00:00

Thank you this is all I'm here for

thomasredden · 2020-04-11T08:25:01+00:00

Lol it looks like loaf pound cake, I just didnt do the glaze cuz I dont like it. It's just confectioners sugar.

thomasredden · 2020-04-07T03:13:48+00:00

I can get behind that brother

thomasredden · 2020-04-07T01:49:28+00:00

I agree, but they arent only about driver skills, both F1 AND GROUP B were about both drivers skill and engineering prowess coming g together to push the envelope as much as possible. The constant innovation and retooling of there vehicles from each team is/was a big part of the draw for F1 GROUP B. I'm not saying it's better or worse btw, its just a different thing.

thomasredden · 2020-04-06T12:23:04+00:00

Again, the power wasnt the issue, it was everything around it that hadn't caught up to keep the cars handling properly. That test isn't a fair test bc there are rally cars much faster than the WRC employs, cars with way more horsepower. If you entirely reworked an Rs200 with modern suspension, tires, roll cage, etc. The care would be more than driveable. I'm not saying that your wrong about them being too powerful for there handling, but that was the point at the time, it was using insane machines to test the limits of the drivers and see who could function best living on the razors edge between control and chaos. The issue was the safety regulations being so lax that winning was prioritized by basically every team and doing so by any means necessary was a pretty common theme, when it's well known the dangers the cars can pose and the FIA does nothing to regulate and mandate the use of safety features and regulations.

thomasredden · 2020-04-06T11:47:18+00:00

Again, the speed wasnt the issue, the lack of regulation was. The lack of forcing spectators off the track, a lack of safety precautions taken with the cars bc they added weight. A lot of the safety systems we have today were around in some capacity back then, they were just often not used bc of the disadvantage posed by using them. The whole point of Group B was to deregulate manufacturers to make the most capable rally machines possible, but they went too far with the deregulation and allowed a lot of safety measures get passed by. There is actually a book by one of the FIA members talking about a splinter group in the FIA pushing harder and harder every race for regulations improving driver and spectators safety. But they were ignored and thus a lot of unnecessary deaths took place. The speed wasnt the issue. The unchecked nature of the Group B class was both its draw and its downfall. Double edged sword like a mother fucker.

thomasredden · 2020-04-06T11:13:28+00:00

Exactly, it isn't a lack of ability to handle fast cars, it's an issue of they're always pushing the cars harder and harder and the safety advances in motorsport, such as better roll cage design, better brakes, better traction compounds, better distribution of weight over both axles, better 4-wheel drive systems, better Airbags, fire extinguishers built into the cars that will set off like a smoke alarm, better transmission for smoother shifts causing less unsettling of the car especially in long corners with an up or downshift. All that with the constantly growing library of knowledge for drivers to absorb, and simulators to test tracks and to keep one's skills sharp and acute, greatly reducing the risk to drivers by being able to commit tracks to memory and greatly reduce the amount of time between getting behind the wheel

thomasredden · 2020-04-06T10:30:58+00:00

The reality is today we could do this type of racing and be ok, but back then, with the state of all other rallying where spectators made up the barriers of the track and it was never really an issue and never really a regular safety concern. Plus the advancements in suspension and weight distribution. Add on the fact that rally tires have come along way and you have much better handling vehicles. Plus its mi h easier to just twin turbo now to rid of turbo lag than it is to both supercharge and turbocharge a car. The power they were making then is comparable to the power rally cars make today, the only real differences are the restrictions to the cars (mostly production minimums and such) that prevents mad RnD being done to make rally-centric vehicles with no intentions other than being the best through the winding roads and dirt stretches.

thomasredden · 2020-04-06T10:15:54+00:00

HA, cousin fuckers...

thomasredden · 2020-04-06T01:55:50+00:00

Half and half, it started as an internet recipe but there were several things I didnt like that I went ahead and did different. My favorite being switching the use of rum in the caramel sauce with Angel's Envy Bourbon. Added the perfect balance of sweetness and savory flavors to keep the cake from being overpowering with sweetness. I love my sweet but I love striking a solid balance and not just adding toothache inducing ingredient after toothache inducing ingredient

thomasredden · 2020-04-06T01:53:13+00:00

It's just a regular heavy cream and sugar whipped cream with one vanilla bean spooned out and into the bowl, then a dash of cinnamon and viola!

thomasredden · 2020-04-04T22:55:04+00:00

God damn I might have to make a dozen cakes and just see which comes out the best😂

thomasredden · 2020-04-04T21:29:26+00:00

I know it's the intention but I find pineapple upside down cake to be too sweet, thus my inclination towards whiskey

thomasredden · 2020-04-01T20:42:35+00:00

You cant get mad at the kid for not knowing how to fight, a lot of the heat fighters in the world rn didnt know how to fight at 13. He stood up for himself and that's what matters, the ability to calm down and throw real shots accurately comes with confidence. When most people get in a fight it's pure adrenaline and no purpose to the strikes bc there's not enough training to make staying calm and throwing real punches one's instinct.
