Another Unidentified Possibly Flying Object?
It’s obviously a spectral octopus - is your house built on a cephalopod burial ground by any chance?- David D. Davidson

What Are You Drinking? September 2023
Yessir! On paper at least - I find most bars and restaurants tend to make Caesars spicier and more sour, while leaving the tomato juice to shine a bit more in BMs - I like bold flavors, so I tend to err on the side of caution and order Caesars when both options are presented. In all honesty...- David D. Davidson

What Are You Drinking? September 2023
Having a glass of Bumbu on the rocks - a nice rum based liquor with spices and vanilla. It’s highly divisive because it’s loaded with sugar and banana syrup, but I think it’s a nice mixer and nice on ice now and then if I’m craving something sweet and not too complex. Rum snobs loathe it, but I...- David D. Davidson

Mindless Vandalism as Hadrian's Wall!
Interestingly, a second person was just arrested for this - a 60 year old local man. The plot thickens! My conspiratorial mind wonders if the 16 year old was just hired muscle, and the 60 year old some local farmer sick to death of tourists traipsing through his property or some such...- David D.

Davidoff Flake Medallion
Completely agreed - I've noticed that more with this blend than any other that comes to mind. I was a little bit underwhelmed at first, but the last third of the bowl or so I find incredibly rich and satisfying. Shame it's so fleeting! Really nice stuff, there are quite a few blends where I...- David D. Davidson

How do You Watch your Stories? Now With Recommendations!
My girlfriend loves a handful of shows that more than outstay their welcome - Grey's Anatomy, Gilmore Girls, and Seinfeld are her recurring picks, and in fairness I won't turn down an episode or two Seinfeld myself. I just read or play videogames when she's in the mood to watch those shows (I...- David D. Davidson

Too Many Drive Like You-know-what.
I’m about as far from a road rager as it gets - my philosophy is that I’ll get there when I get there, and I drive the speed limit and rarely switch lanes. I’m fortunate enough to not have to commute for work, so if I’m driving it’s usually for something that’s not too time sensitive or a...- David D. Davidson

For How Long do you Mash/Brew/Infuse your Tea?
Double posting because last time I tried to edit a comment to reply, I borked it bigtime. The cynic in me wonders if this isn’t clever marketing to sell the tea equivalent of floor sweepings - maybe the only real breakthrough was creating a fine enough mesh to keep the dust inside the tea bag...- David D.

For How Long do you Mash/Brew/Infuse your Tea?
I’m a nasty Cathy - I just leave the tea bag in while I drink. But I also almost exclusively drink herbal “teas”, which might actually be a greater offence 🤔. Now and then I’ll have a jasmine silver needle white tea, and in those rare circumstances I steep for 2-3 minutes at 80 degrees celsius.- David D. Davidson

The Most Disappointing Tobacco
A phenomenon as old as humanity itself. I guarantee during the last ice age we were daring our buddies to go smell that rotten mammoth over there. Everyone loves to talk about things that gross them out!- David D. Davidson

How Many In Your Rotation...
I’m hopelessly addicted to novelty - I’m currently at 120 tins I’ve popped into jars for easy access. I keep meaning to run through my jars before cracking new tins, but my curiosity gets the better of me time and time again. I have about 30 empty jars left, and I’m not going to buy any more for...- David D. Davidson

Spoiled for choice...
TAD and PAD are a disease, and modern medicine has yet to find the cure. But it’s a heck of a fun disease to have! I feel incredibly grateful to live in a time of plenty, where I can order everything off a restaurants menu, try an exotic fruit, buy different shampoo, etc. Genuinely, we have...- David D. Davidson

Hello Fellas; Canadian Pipe Smoker Here
Welcome from Ottawa! We’ve got quite the little Canuck enclave here. I highly recommend ordering from American webstores - even with shipping and duties, you’ll usually come out a few bucks ahead compared to ordering domestic, and as you mentioned, the difference in variety is incomparable!- David D.

Thoughts From Millennials or Younger
I honestly think it’s primarily because it’s retro, rather than being an audiophile - if it were the latter, you’d think it wouldn’t be so hard to find and download FLAC audio files for music - best combo of fidelity and convenience. Anecdotally, the few younger people I know who have a record...- David D. Davidson

Is It Hotter Where You Live Now?
I couldn't agree more. One of my degrees is in statistical analysis, and I went that route because I thought it was a noble pursuit - knowledge for knowledge's sake, free if the pettiness and politics of the business world. After all, numbers couldn't lie, right? Math is one of the purest forms...- David D. Davidson

Is It Hotter Where You Live Now?
Something like 95% of all climate related publishing scientists are in agreement that climate change is real and is primarily caused by humans. Thats pretty darn close to a consensus in my opinion.- David D. Davidson

What's Everybody Doing this Weekend?
Sounds like a great weekend! I’m of a similar mind, frog - I’m not a hunter but my father and brothers are, and and they always stress the importance of stewardship of the land, I think it’s an extremely admirable philosophy and one that I wish was more common. I’m about to head out to the...- David D. Davidson

Is It Hotter Where You Live Now?
Where I live in Ontario there’s been a degree of shift, but nothing too tangible. Crunching numbers, summers are hotter, winters are milder, and there’s more total rainfall but less rain frequency. We also get more extreme weather events - severe storms and tornado warnings etc. The shift in...- David D. Davidson

What Am I Smoking in September?
Personally I kind of like the idea of the WAYS threads, which are basically a smoke-by-smoke journal, being complimented by a broader highlights monthly thread, where people aren’t logging each individual smoke, but rather sharing highlights and a more general overview. Just my two cents, but we...- David D. Davidson
