Butter chicken is my kryptonite. Damn good thing my wife doesn't like Indian food or I'd eat it like daily. I make a great butter chicken of my own in my instant pot, perfected the recipe with my wife out of town. Took some to work and got rave reviews. Then made it for my wife when she got back and she took one bite and said "so, you actually eat this, right?"

I have often fantasized about having a butter chicken pipe coming to my house from local Indian restaurants. The stuff I make is good, but because I don't have a tandor, I can't really get the chicken and naan to perfection. Lamb pasanda is a fairly new discovery of mine, one place it's almost like butter chicken only with lamb, obviously, the stuff I got Tuesday has a lot of comin in it - I'm actually going to get it hotter next time, it seems like the heat won't distract from the flavor.

Anyway. Yes, I could murder a curry.

There's an urban legend Carlsberg hooked up a beer pipe to Niels Bohr's house after he won the Nobel prize. Maybe you just gotta do that.

I view this like video games. Is there a small very tiny subset of the population for whom something like sexual frustration and maybe video game images can become part of the complex and varied tapestry that leads them to commit crimes like this? Sure, I don't doubt it. But no ****ing way it represents some massive movement that will destroy society as we know it or in no way is it big enough to warrant massive changes in society to derail a mass-killer creation pipeline of some kind. I just don't buy it. You know how many sexually repressed teens there are in Utah for ****'s sake? We should be drowning in the blood of all the mass murders in the state if that's the driving factor. Hell I'd argue that probably 90% or more of boys and men between the ages of 14 and 30 would call themselves at least somewhat sexually frustrated, or have endured years of frustration before or between their sexually fulfilling relationships. No way that is a primary driver that we can in any way do anything meaningful to mitigate. And if we did they'd find something else to help them channel their mental illness and rage into violence. Just check out EWU on YouTube and it's surprising how many people commit these crimes who are in relationships or even fathers or have girlfriends. Sorry but this is not the silver bullet. It's one thread in the fabric of some of their lives that might contribute to it. For a very few I'm sure it is the primary driver. But how do you use this info to weed out the 1 from the 10 million who is actually going to act on it? Stupid. Can't be done.

If this was the case I'd be a mass murderer on the scale of Pol Pot. Is he recreating the Cambodian genocide? Nah he just needs a ********. There's pedestrian crossings in Chernobyl that have more recent use than my appendage.

You both chose poorly. Lamb Korma is the food of the gods.

I don’t disagree. But I think these thoughts are originating from interviews with people who knew the guy very well. One roommate in Hawaii mentioned it as something that was an issue, that his back issues interfered with his sex life. I would not draw a one to one relationship of no sex=kill someone, and I don’t know if there is really a connection in this instance, but looking for motivations seems to have caused this issue to develop as a theory for motivation.

And, boy, does this headline ever run with it! Geez..

How a Freak Accident Turned Luigi Mangione Into Vengeful Murder Suspect

The shocking story behind the suspect accused of shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

“It was really traumatic and difficult, you know, when you’re in your early twenties and you can’t, you know, do some basic things,” Martin added in an interview with CNN.

He said Mangione’s back injury was so painful he was unable to have sex, explaining: “He knew that dating and being physically intimate with his back condition wasn’t possible. I remember him telling me that and my heart just breaks.”

I remember being in Hong Kong drinking terrible Carlsberg beers laughing our asses off at the label on the beer that I might mistakenly remember as saying "quite possibly" instead of "probably" the best lager in the world.

We ran through a list of things that "quite possibly" might be true if the **** beer we were drinking was in fact "quite possibly" the best lager in the world.

Says right there on the box, Pilsner. Carlsberg is apparently Danish for cat piss.

Im going to pretend you didn't say that so we can remain friends.

Picture the scene; On a baking hot Australian summer day, 38 degrees in the shade, you've been out in the sun, watching other people work hard while eating your ice cream. You walk into a bar and get a delicious fruity hoppy Indian Pale Ale poured into a pint off the tap, condensation immediately forming on the glass, cutting through the crushing heat. A beer designed specifically to alleviate the oppressive nature of our oriental summer, the delicious amber goodness hits your lips and transforms your day.

I hate IPAs, which may be a reaction to the PNW IPAs, which basically compete on how bitter they can get. I want my beer dark and thick, maybe even malty. A Russian Imperial Stout is pretty much my idea of heaven. This basically leaves me out of current beer culture, but at least they still make Guiness. (The exception is on a hot day after doing yardwork, when, OK, something very light and nearly ice cold is appropriate.)

We got a pretty decent craft scene in Australia, to a point now where I think craft beer is something like 30 percent of the beer market. I like a West Coast IPA every so often and some breweries do offer them, (hard to find in a can at a bottle shop along with red ale) our IPAs tend to be more on the hoppy and fruity side however you can get some that have that harder bitter edge. A lot of tap houses will offer one or two stouts on tap, a lot will have a Russian Imperial or something similar, I'm not really sure why because outside of winter we really haven't got the climate for it.

One of the unfortunate consequences of covid and our lockdowns is that it put a lot of small breweries to the wall some of them were pretty good too.
