I had it once maybe 7-8 years ago. It was good but not really my style. I’ve had Pliny the Elder a few times and preferred it.

In any case it’s certainly worth trying one of the best beers in America any time you get the opportunity IMO

Random math question.

If I know that:
(x+y)/Z = B
and
x/(B-y) = A

and I know the values of A, B, and Z

am I able to figure out the values of x and y?

Trolly · February 21, 2020, 2:46pm

I think so.

MimosaDef · February 21, 2020, 2:49pm

Never mind! I just realized it doesn’t matter.

About to move into a new apartment and need to replace my shitty mattress. Anyone have any recommendations? Budget is <$1000.

I’ve got a king-sized Ghost that I love. Came in a box, no box spring needed. Others have said it’s a bit firm but I think it’s perfect.

x = AB(1-Z)/(1-A)
y = B(Z-A)/(1-A)

This one is a doozy. Son kills mother and brother, attempts to kill father. Plot thickens: the son had a black girlfriend and the family was openly racist, including the father posting the 14 Words on his Facebook (of course father now denies being racist).

I ended up getting a tufts and needle and its like, fine. mattress shopping is kinda the worst and I don’t know if there’s any good answers.

Two weeks ago listened to my first Chapo Trap House episode after hearing it mentioned on this board for a while. Now I’m a communist sympathizer and looking into grad programs on Marxism. Well done comrades.

If you’re considering a foam mattress (latex or memory), there are only a few different kinds (densities basically) made by like 2 or 3 companies world-wide. Everything else is just marketing trying to sell you a commodity at a premium with bullshit.

Why do you hate disruptive entrepeneurialship?

Consider a water bed. You might get one for ~$1000 or less and it will last longer than a typical mattress. I never want to switch back. The only downside is that they are difficult to move so if you intend to move around a lot you need to think twice about it.

Also, tons of rental leases forbid them explicitly

Tilted · February 21, 2020, 6:23pm

Yup. Just checked my lease. Outlawed.
