If you like expensive, over-hopped IPA made with mediocre ingredients and specially bred hops that are so potent they (kinda) overpower the taste of beet sugar and inferior malts, then America is a great place to pay more money for beer. Th

You know how there is a principle during debate where you should treat your opponent's argument charitably, by taking their meaning in the best possible way? You just did the exact opposite.

From your first link, "Sarcotacid" would make for a great insult. It's a parasite that "prefers attaching to the rectum" (of fish), and females grow into "huge, warty pustules." The pictures are horrific,

Virgil Cane's brother is rolling over in his grave. If I had to rank them then Stop Making Sense is number one, and it's not even that close. But the Last Waltz is definitely the second most iconic concert of all time. Although su

As effective as that might be in terms of a proper active control group, it does not seem terribly ethical to give amphetamines to patients with PTSD without any medically sound reason to do so.
