@Social Distance Warrior Kf7 is not normally the move you dream of making on a king hunt.

For a smoky or peaty scotch:
- Ardbeg
- Laphroaig

For less smoke/peat
- Highland Park 12
- Oban

For a classic highland type
- Glenlivet
- Glendronach

Dalmore is really good too but they use an artificial coloring to get the amber color of their Scotch which some people are not huge fans of.

EDIT
@BAM ... MacCallan is really good too but straight up, a lot of it's price is you paying for it's name.

These guys have some good recommendations:


Talisker makes a really good whisky too that you don't see at every bar if you're trying to be unique.

Lol you actually believe that people were arrested on nonviolent weed charges and got years in jail for it? Or that this happened to thousands of people?

Maybe fact check the mud that was thrown during debates before you get your vitriol up so high.

Gabbard was misleadingly citing figures for all of California while Harris was attorney general — even though the vast majority of marijuana cases in the state are prosecuted by independently elected county district attorneys. And that includes people who had marijuana charges along with kore serious charges like burglary and assault and just happend to have weed on them at the time.

Conviction rate aside, only 45 people were sentenced to state prison for marijuana convictions during Harris’ seven years in office, compared with 135 people during Hallinan’s eight years, according to data from the state corrections department.

“Our policy was that no one with a marijuana conviction for mere possession could do any (jail time) at all,” said Paul Henderson, who led narcotics prosecutions for several years under Harris. Defendants arrested for the lowest-level possession would typically be referred to drug treatment programs instead of being charged, and weightier charges for marijuana sales would routinely be pleaded down to less serious ones, he said.

There is a skew too. If you go to prison or jail on drug charges you can get access to treatment options.

So say I commit Residential Burglary and was arrested carrying meth. Places I've worked will ask me to plead out to the full drug charge and a reduced theft type charge because then when I get to state custody I can be housed in the treatment wing and have access to drug treatment and stuff.

Scotch aged in rum casks.... interesting

It's good.

My shift drink at the bar was usually tequila and a beer. But when I was in a Scotch mood and the owner let me I went for the Balvenie in the Cask. It's good.

@BAM don't be scared to look at the Japanese whisky either. Thought not true "Scotch" in some people's eyes it's also very good:

Dude , my H1 rook has done Jack shit this entire game.

Seriously useless.

 

[HockeyBjj]

I absolutely refuse to acknowledge people who try to manipulate, too. Some women think it's attractive to play it hot and cold? Like they've seen it in a movie where you first give a guy attention and then you take it away and the guy will chase you? And I'm just here sticking to my chair all sweaty like "there's plenty of fish in the sea you toad".

Banged an Amazonian yet?

I've been reading and hearing really, really good things about Japanese Whisky.

It's gotten so popular it's actually hard to find. Some of the Suntory stuff you actually can't find in stores because they ran out of it and are now distilling more.




Suntory is the most famous of the Japanese whisky out there but there's another whisky company up north near Sapporo that is ran by a person that used to work at Suntory. I think it's called .

Trust me, it's not as interesting as tequila aged in oak whiskey barrels.

It's just lost its role since I blockaded the H pawn. There was a time when the h1 rook was finna leeroy jenkins its way into my king's abode.

Yeah. If you’re into peaty or smoky it’s neither, but it is uniquely tasty nonetheless. Smooth, maybe too mild for some hardcore scotch lovers.

I'm not a tequila fan but I't give it a try.

A couple of years ago I went to a gin distillery that had gin aged in whiskey barrels that was very nice to sip on.

**like.

I feel like JDS in his 2nd fight with Cain

 

[HockeyBjj]

Hurricanes twitter has been pretty good lately

a game went to 5 overtime’s, Canes and Bruins set to play after. Finally both teams gave up waiting and said fuck it we’ll play 9am because they’re only using one arena for the bubble.

Apparently the equivalent for how long this game went would be a 23 inning baseball game. 4th longest NHL game ever.

It's bizarre that he's bringing back a brand of racism that was on its way out in the mid-80s, and there's essentially no objection from half the country. He might have been more ambitious and gone for outright segregation, instead of flirting with this de facto shit. Non-zero chance that it would have made his support even stronger.

Did SDW go for another silly h-file attack and get shut down like a nerd before prom again?

Trump's entire worldview is shaped by his upbringing in the 50s and 60s
