Pick your poison, babbys. What do you drink when you're drinking? I'm a bourbon and scotch girl myself, but do enjoy the occasional craft brew.



Tequila is da debil.

    Tequila is for people who consider the taste of paint thinner a little too subtle

    We are of the opinion that many of the troubles of the world at the present are due to imprudent borrowing and spending on the part of the public authorities. We do not desire to see a renewal of such practices. At best they mortgage the Budgets of the future, and they tend to drive up the rate of interest--a process which is surely particularly undesirable at this juncture, when the revival of the supply of capital to private industry is an admittedly urgent necessity. The depression has abundantly shown that the existence of public debt on a large scale imposes frictions and obstacles to readjustment very much greater than the frictions an dobstacles imposed by the existence of private debt.

    Hence we cannot agree with the signatories of the letter that this is a time for new municipal swimming baths, etc., merely because "people feel they want" such amenities.

    If the Government wish to help revival, the right way for them to proceed is, not to revert to their old habits of lavish expenditure, but to abolish those restrictions on trade and the free movement of capital (including restrictions on new issues) which are at present impeding even the beginning of recovery.

    Oh well, next [chat].

    The underline in "Watch_Dogs" trips the mental filters I've built to parse english uncompounding, so I read it as "Verb Subject". It sounds like a Facebook-clone of Nintendogs, and it takes me a moment to remember that it's something else.

    My Ex got really Tequila drunk once and drunk dialed me. I may have convinced her that following that up with a bag of lime fritoes was a good idea. She then got stuck with a hypothermia kid under heating lamps the next morning in the ER. I can only imagine that she achieved a maxed out hangover experience.

    @Antinumeric‌

    a bit complicated. first, only some islamic banking scholars openly endorse that interpretation. it's a neoclassical understanding of debt and interest and investment, so some agree with it and advocate other forms of islamic banking, but some disagree with it and ascribe other characteristics that Islamic banking allegedly has. If there's no common model to start with, it's hard to talk about these, so we can put them aside - but they do exist.

    second, of neoclassical understandings, it's correct that all that Islamic banking does is shuffle the labels around whilst keeping the de facto existence of interest. However, the risk is shifted. If markets are clearing, then this doesn't change anything, since all agents involved are compensated for whatever risk they are compelled to take on, and then they pursue their preferred risk-reward tradeoff in their personal portfolios elsewhere. If markets are not clearing, then there is a difference. But then that depends on what imperfection is alleged to exist. Some Islamic scholars make a considerable deal about the risk transfer - the idea that all investors should take on more risk (and possibly be paid more for doing so) - but (1) the core point about de facto payment of interest still stands, and the prohibition should really be on the trading of risk instead; and (2) the analysis implies that resolving the imperfection should remove the harms of risk trading

    it's weird that you like Scotch but not Tequila

    Real, good tequila is usually pretty smokey, similar to certain varieties of scotch

    Mezcal, too

    I've had some pretty nice tequila, and I enjoy it usually, but tequila is more likely to give me a weird harsh feeling/taste in the back of my throat than other alcohol. (I'm not sure how else to describe this, but whatever it is seems to happen more often with tequila)

    there's a whole cottage industry of these, so I didn't watch that particular video, but one of the most common ones is a confusion over why nominal interest rates are positive to begin with. this is aided by a confusion between inflation via credit creation and inflation via issuance of the money base, which is where the accounting shenanigans begin, in my experience.

    but broadly speaking inflation creates persistently positive nominal rates and not the other way around. underlying expected real rates are positive only if the risk premium is high enough to override the costs of administration, or if technological possibilities are expanding rapidly, both of which are true in a post-19th-century world

    That's really interesting, thanks!

    I'm not overly huge on smoky scotches. I tend to go for Speyside or Orcadian malts.

    Minecraft does have a new mode that feels fresh and fun. Singleplayer, World Type: Amplified, View distance: 16 chunks.

    Play it in a dark room, full screen. It's pretty hard, a little scary, but mostly desolate, lonely and vast. Like if you're feeling nervous and empty inside and you want to play a game that feeds back and amplifies this feeling, you gotta try this.

    Basically you spawn in on a ridiculous mountain top, relatively safe, few resources, no food, no way down. Then you look around and there's just this vastness stretching out in all directions and you are super helpless, fragile and alone.
