I know what you mean about it taking your breath away. Took a sip of lab grade anhydrous ethanol once (200 proof), really do not recommend it. My lips and gums burned, and my tongue shriveled as the ethanol sucked up all the moisture in my mouth. Nothing good about it.
“HOA’s gonna send me a fine if I don’t put these away. Sorrrrrry!”


Team Internet Paintball from 1994. My member number was TIP#860. Still have the patch on an old set of cammos, if I didn’t accidentally get rid of them during one of the many times I’ve moved over the years.
Great skill to have, and not really difficult, just a matter of practice and getting a feel for it. I learned from a neighbor when I was just starting college, after he saw me locked out of the house. He was a tool and die maker, had a nice set of picks he made himself. Still have the small set he gave me in a toolbox somewhere, though haven’t used them in over 20 years now so terribly out of practice.
It just taint right, being shot in the crotch like that.


Flogging Molly! Took my girlfriend (now wife) to see them for the first time 23 years ago. She loved it, so I figured she was worth keeping. We’ve seen them eight times now over the years, always a great show. Thankfully Dave King made it through his head injury and coma, so the band may be back playing again this year.


And sociopathy.


Good to know Mint might be an option. I’ve used it before, could check it out again. I ran it on a Frankenstein’s monster of really old computer parts I cobbled together as a PC for my work room. Mainly just to stream music and reference videos online while doing projects.
While it came out 22 years ago, State of the Union still feels like it could have been written for now.
