You'll get called xenophobic in some circles for that logic, but I'd love to see other how many other developed nations allow non citizens to own property in their country.

Nah just utopian places that build in redundancies and fail safes to their utilities.

Look I commend them for being able to get it back on and have water pressure when I got home from work.

What I'm just not going to pretend that I'm ok with losing water, not being able to flush, and having to take a whores bath like a third world resident given what I pay collectively in income and property tax. Especially not when I still have to pay for private school if I don't want my kids pregnant or shanked.

Bourbon: Old Fashioned, gold rush

Rye: Old Pal, think boulevardier but dry

Rum: 44 mai tai, 1/2oz orgeat, no simple, 3/4 lime juice, 1/2 dry Curacao, 2oz funky rum

Gin: negroni

Tequila: margarita

Vodka: bloody Mary, otherwise... I'm not in highschool

If you live anywhere near Cleary, or the lake, you are not in Old Metairie.

Absolutely.

Israel still gives half a shite what the boys from Geneva set up way back when. The UN has already notified them they're violating the Geneva Convention with the siege.

It's checking a box in the dirty world of war fighting, but it keeps their nose clean when they turn city blocks into glass.

History is written by the victor. And they know they'll be the victor against Palestine, regardless of what pops off in response to this. So their narrative will remain truthful when history is written as "we told you to leave, and anyone who is there when we get there will be treated as a combatant".

I don't think that's an inaccurate narrative either, but I think anyone who has been through war will tell you that civilian casualties are inevitable. Hamas will cry war crimes ironically, so that covers their arse.

I'm torn on this.

On one hand your selection is generally small. On the other hand your beers are cheap for stadium prices.

Go buy a beer from Petco Park and you'll have a better selection than most bars in Baton Rouge, but you'll pay $20+ for it

Yours may be "legit" but's it's not correct. This is the correct way...

Gotta be honest, I have to disagree with Trader Vic, there is no reason for rock candy syrup in a mai tai.

My go to is as follows:
3/4oz lime juice
1/2oz Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao
1/2oz orgeat
1oz each of two different dark rums.

2oz of the same rum is more than serviceable, but I really like trying one plainer sweet rum and something else with some funk.

For a whiskey variant, swap your rum with bourbon or rye of choice and swap lime juice for lemon. The name escapes me at this time, but with beam products it's a nutty delicious drink.

I just recently bought a lab diamond rock.

If you put it under a microscope, the patterns in the crystalization can be found which will give it away as lab. Key point to remember here, only under a microscope can this be seen and it's in the pattern itself, not the clarity.

The long and short of it has already been said. If she stipulates natural, run. It'll cost 4ish times as much for something that might wind up lower quality cut, color, and clarity. And if it stays where it should on her finger it'll never wind up under a microscope.

Her friend's mom is a former jeweler and commented that she couldn't believe I could afford a natural diamond that size when she first saw it
