    Wet Shave

    @PaulRVA That is an impressive collection! In your opinion what at are some of the better quality safety razors vs lower quality? My dad has always used a BlueTip Super Speed like this one Also - Do you know if there is any difference between the Blue Tip and Red Tip or are they the same just...

    Matches?

    Five years ago when I bought a Stanwell DM competition pipe from the Danish pipe stop it came with two matches and a pice of wooden dowel for a tamper. Other than that I haven’t been offered matches anywhere other than at the cigar lounge I go to.

    Matches?

    I guess I’ll just check out the local mom and pop hardware stores in hopes of finding some NOS strike anywheres

    Matches?

    That’s nuts! I had no idea this was a thing. I’ll have to do some serious thinking re whether the convenience of online shopping and mild cool factor of strike anywhere matches out weigh the possibility of causing a USPS plane to crash. I mean… what are the chances? 🤞🤣🤧

    Roberto Clemente Documentary on The History Channel.

    I figured you’ have worn #21. Thanks for sharing the great story and the photos below. I was born the year he died so I didn’t grow up knowing him. But I watch or read anything about him that I come across. He was (from what I understand) that rare combination of hero and role model both on and...

    Matches?

    Thanks I bought several boxes of greenlight (on eBay) a while back. I’m just wondering if there is a known alternative.

    Matches?

    What brand of strike anywhere matches do you use? I’ve been looking on and off for years for an alternative to Diamond “greenlight”.

    @JimInks Thanks for posting. Did you wear #21 in your playing days?

    What Servant King said is spot on including the bit about Moontrance.

    Peterson Amsterdam Stamp Mystery And New Estates Lot

    @Dshift I’m no help with your question re the Amsterdam stamping - sorry. But I really like the two panel spigot billiards in your photo. Can you tell me/us more about them when you have a minute. I don’t know a lot about Pete’s but those two really caught my eye.

    Tres Tripel Comparison!

    I don’t think of Orval as a triple either. If anything it is more of a farmhouse ale but really it is its own thing and I find it to be delicious.

    Tres Tripel Comparison!

    I may have to try this myself. Orval is a favorite of mine, I haven’t had St.Bernardus in a long time and I’ve never had Tre Fontane.

    Ken Dryden RIP

    Thanks for correcting me and providing all the details! I went back and did a little reading after your post. I didn’t realize he won the cup & smythe before the Calder. That’s just crazy. I think it should also be said that by all accounts he was also a really nice guy. RIP

    Ken Dryden RIP

    One of my childhood heroes. Growing up in Canada there was none better. He only played 7 full seasons but he won 5cups and numerous individual awards. GOAT

    Ding Dong Murder

    Thanks for posting- I think I was tracking where you were coming from all along. I’m not a gun guy. I’ve shot at the range a handful of times but I don’t own a gun. TBH I’m a pretty left leaning guy but I did not take offense to your post or any of the others that I think were misconstrued as...

    Ding Dong Murder

    I may be wrong but I don’t think anyone here thinks the kid deserved to get shot. True - he would not have been shot if he stayed off of other people’s property. Also true - shooting an 11 year old in the back is pretty indefensible. Additionally - the phrase “Point of order though, asshole”...

    The Leading Edge of a Massive Future Problem

    I I don’t work in AI but I use a number of so called AI tools on a daily basis - mostly for research, writing, and formatting. I have also used them to help develop logic, critical thinking and analogy type test items. In my experience, when used correctly (with good prompts that are refined...

    The Leading Edge of a Massive Future Problem

    IMO one of the big issues with using AI is poor prompt engineering. If you ask for an example of something e.g. case law pertaining to xyz You may get a fabricated response or an example of what the thing you are looking for would/could/might look like. If you are more specific, tell it you want...
