Well, there's drinking and then there's Drinking.

Also, "Borderline"
I started drinking alcohol around age 18 as a freshman in college. At the time I had no idea I would go on to drink almost every day for the next 54 years, through marriage, fatherhood and my entire career as a writer and public relations specialist in New York. I also had no inkling that just before I turned 72, I would manage to quit for good, my reckoning long overdue. Right from the beginning, my drinking was a problem. As a college freshman, I once downed almost a full bottle of vodka and had a hangover so severe that I lay on the floor for an entire day, worried that lifting my head would give me a concussion. Two years later, I drove home from campus drunk, not to mention speeding, at 3 a.m. A few years after graduating, I went on a blind date with the woman who has been my wife for 46 years. I was so jittery I got plastered on red wine, then unwittingly insulted her with an off-color joke, almost blowing our relationship before it started. In the first years of our marriage, I drank every night. At first, it took me about 10 days to polish off a bottle of vodka. After a while the bottle started to last eight days, then five. I drank to feel better, whether I was in a good mood or a bad one. I drank to ease the pressure I felt as a family breadwinner, and to muffle my anxieties about my future. I knew I had become a borderline alcoholic, but I told myself it was no big deal, because I drank only at night, never during the day.

He divorced his wife and then married an "internet personality" (pick gratuitously related) for 2 years. And now he's broke.

Best version I found of this guy so far. Disappointingly, I don't think that's a mustache but his baklava we're seeing under his nose.

The very first commercial arc welding hoods were made of "vulcanized fiber", which is a very heavy duty rag paper. Just to let you know where the priorities lay. you can still buy these from huntsman.

That quick turn time is a key. A retired machinist told me that his shop went from American machines to Chinese when a machine they needed for a job was a one-year wait from the only American manufacturer, but their local Chinese machine dealer had them in stock.
Matthew Funaiole, a vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, noted that MSC, a Swiss shipping giant, placed orders for 12 large Chinese container vessels this year. Shipping companies buying from China are “going to get a quality ship at a low cost in a quick turn time,” Mr. Funaiole said. That, he added, might outweigh the costs and inconveniences created by the new penalties on Chinese vessels. MSC declined to comment.

4Chan's /pol/ board/sewer is freaking out over the latest right-wing violence.

We need to quickly establish that this had nothing to do with politics and it was a one off by an ill man. Otherwise the leftists will start calling for us to be destroyed as a cancer like we are them. Why would lefties care about a maga guy killing other maga guys? Nothing of value was lost, amirite? The normalfaggots care about wanton violence no matter who does it and it turns them against the perpetrators. The leftists will use this against us we have to get ahead of it

Made to be viewed at this angle.
It's that statue of young lincoln, but viewed from a thirstier angle, just below waist level, the focus of the image is his thumb tugging at his waistband, his finger sensuously curved with fingertips resting lightly at the edge of his bulge.

SHE has nothing to worry about
First, she talks to the LA Times‘ Meg James about her plans for “The Kelly File”: “People know that they are going to get the real me when I go out there,” she said. “If somebody comes on [the show] and is a moron, I’m going to call them out. “But my goal,” Kelly added, “is to ask a provocative question. I’m just a soulless lawyer at heart who likes to ask pointed questions of both sides to get the best answer.” The AP’s David Bauder also speaks to Kelly, who explains that while her show is in primetime, it will not be ideological: ‘‘I’ve never wanted to be an opinion host, and Roger Ailes hasn’t wanted me to be an opinion host,’’ she said. ‘‘I don’t think I’d be very successful anyway. I’m not an ideologue, and I think you have to be successful in a prime-time opinion-based show. I think I’m too moderate and reasonable.’’
