  1. I was shocked at first when I saw this. But then I thought of all of the restaurants, hotels, resorts, cruise ships, airports, etc. that are shutdown and it made sense. MORE THAN HALF A MILLION JOBS IN US BEER INDUSTRY ‘WILL BE LOST’ BY 2021 A report commissioned by John Dunham Associates claims that 651,000 jobs in brewing, distributing and retail “will be lost by the end of the year”, while overall beer sales could fall by as much as US$22 billion by the end of 2020. Brewing roles are expected to be the hardest hit, with the report warning 3,600 brewers could lose their jobs by year end. “The beer industry has seen a dramatic decline both in sales and jobs that rely on our nation’s most popular alcohol beverage,” said Jim McGreevy, president and CEO of the Beer Institute. https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2020/09/more-than-half-a-million-jobs-in-brewing-will-be-lost-by-2021/
  2. No, leave Haskins in the game. Let him finish. Let's see what he's made of.
  3. Already made dinner reservations for Halloween at a local steak joint that offers 2 for 1 on holidays.
  4. Too much candy: Man dies from eating bags of black licorice A Massachusetts construction worker’s love of black licorice wound up costing him his life. Eating a bag and a half every day for a few weeks threw his nutrients out of whack and caused the 54-year-old man’s heart to stop, doctors reported Wednesday. “Even a small amount of licorice you eat can increase your blood pressure a little bit,” said Dr. Neel Butala, a cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital who described the case in the New England Journal of Medicine. https://www.yahoo.com/news/too-much-candy-man-dies-210228886.html
  5. Rod is a very large POS. I still remember his glazed eyes staring forward while Barr lied to the US citizens about the Mueller report. Another spineless prick who's name will be forever etched in corruption by historians. **** him.
  6. Wow! Hadn't considered that. Definitely going to start staying inside more & more starting November 15...
  7. Soooo...my wife's cousin's daughter's boyfriend (yeah I know....attends Liberty University) tested positive today AFTER a family gathering Sunday (which did not include us). Aunt & Uncle - quarantine 14 days Cousin's Daughter & boyfriend: quarantine 14 days Cousin & Wife: 'Not sure what they're going to do." **** them...I told my wife - seriously, **** THEM.
  8. Had date/movie night on the patio tonight. Menu: crockpot Orzo & chicken & peas & spinach, brie & apple flatbread & cinnamon bun popcorn. Here's the flatbread
  9. Miami +7 Miami +260 Chargers -2.5
  10. ^^Washington Examiner article in tweet above. What a bunch of horse****. Again, GOP spewing outright lies. Let's get the White House Occupant to "raise his right hand and tell the truth." ****er said it with a straight face, too. Trump has "encouraged not only declassification, but full transparency. He has nothing to hide," Meadows said. "I can tell you, it’s real easy for Peter Strzok to go on 60 Minutes when he doesn’t have to raise his right hand and tell the truth. In all of this interview, I can tell you this. It’s not backed up by the facts. It’s not backed up by documents that I’ve seen. And ultimately, his house of cards will come falling down." https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/mark-meadows-additional-documents-spell-trouble-for-ex-officials-in-durham-investigation
  11. CIO's are becoming lest optimistic about a quick recovery. The tech market should brace for a worsening economy that extends into 2021 As if the pandemic hasn't wreaked enough havoc, a new report from Forrester finds US CIOs and their business partners will be dealing with a steadily worsening recession in 2020--with the potential for even more problems in 2021. Overall, US tech budgets will be down by 6% or so from 2019, but budget cuts will be more like 9% to 12% given planned 2020 tech budget increases of 3% to 4%, according to the US Tech Market Outlook for 2020 to 2021 report. This is Scenario B of three that the Forrester report presents. Scenario A: A sharp, but short drop in tech spending in the US in 2020, followed by a strong recovery starting in the fourth quarter and continuing into 2021 should be "put to bed,'' the report said. The Scenario C forecast predicts a 9% fall in US tech budgets in 2020 and a 5% drop in 2021. The report calls this "a small but real possibility." "Scenario B, in which the US economic recession is deeper and lasts longer in 2021, is now the most likely prospect for the US tech market with a 70% probability,'' Forrester said. "But the failure of the US to bring the pandemic under control means that Scenario C with a recession that lasts into 2022 now looms as a 20% possibility." ... Another finding is that pressure on CIOs to cut tech budgets will increase the longer and deeper the recession is. Yet, cutting too much, too soon has its own risks, the report said. "CIOs will need to have a flexible plan for expanding or reversing their tech budget cuts depending on how the economy performs and the impacts on their firm." The report is predicting that all tech categories will suffer in the US tech downturn and that CIOs and their business partners will be cutting spending across all segments of their budgets. Computers and communications equipment will be the area that is cut the heaviest, the report predicts. Spending on tech consulting and systems integration services will also be slashed. "In the CIO playbook for cutting tech budgets in a downturn, the second step after cutting hardware spending is trimming the new project portfolio. Those actions inevitably reduce demand for consultants and contractors." https://www.techrepublic.com/article/the-tech-market-should-brace-for-a-worsening-economy-that-extends-into-2021/
  12. Uhhh....this could get ugly in GA, NC, VA.
  13. I'm just hoping if you take the vaccine it means you won't get COVID. If people make the choice to not get it & they get sick & die, then thoughts & prayers.
  14. No, tossing is not necessary. If you can, use 00 Flour for the dough. It has less gluten & will shrink less when you try to stretch the dough out.
  15. Mack & Manco used to be in Ocean City, NJ. The name was changed to Manco & Manco without any explanation in 2011. The original Mack also owns Mack's Pizza in Wildwood.
  16. Don't try to peel it off...it will rip your skin off. Fingernail polish or paint remover to get it off...
  17. I think you'll be fine without glue. Just tap in the plug that should hold it. You may need to caulk any gap. If you don't ever plan to move the cable forget the plug & use spray foam to keep it in place.
  18. Drill the hole the size of the cable. Then slit it to fit it around the cable & put the plug in the hole. No need to run the plug through it. Or get something like GG11 just posted.
  19. There's both: Solid plug or a cap like this one. I'd go for the solid plug, drill out the center to the size of the cable, slice it to the drilled area, fit it around the cable & put in in the hole. If there's any gap fill it with caulk. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-15-16-in-x-11-16-in-Black-Rubber-Hole-Plug-808238/204273789 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-in-Nylon-Locking-Hole-Plug-808168/204225716
