Do they bite?

They bite, burrow and breed*.

I was raised to believe in BBB, and have absolutely no trust whatsoever in reviews from Google/Yelp/etc etc. But, to be fair, that was the BBB of 50+ years ago. I have used their web site recently to try to check out contractors, and have not encountered a lemon yet, but that is far from a ringing endorsement.

I also don't have necessarily negative connotations with the BBB, but this person was a business owner who said BBB presented themselves as almost a Mafia-style protection racket - "gee, this is a nice store you've got here, it would be a shame if an organization came in and ruined your reputation."

When I ran a business for 10+ years, I didn't have a single interaction with the BBB.

I don't know that giving that voice directly to the public via online reviews is a step forward or backwards.

Wow! I hadn’t even considered the impact of climate change on mythical creatures! A whole new field of study has just opened up!

I was ok being a muggle. But the Fantastic Beast movies taught me I'm just a lousy, stinking no mag.

Nice. It taught me sooo much about calculus. Just perfect example of derivative.

Clem, you seem like the type of guy that has an arsenal of go-to post work-out protein smoothies. What's your favorite?

No protein shakes. Unless you are above 250 lbs with a size 30 waist and shoulders which touch your earlobes at rest because you are so muscular, then protein shakes are useless. For the average exercise junky (and I'm crazier than average), just eat lots of meat.

I had a Texas chili sampler in Austin today for lunch. 3 different types. The Texas red was delicious. The white bean chicken chili was very good. The best was the black bean habaňero. It was holy crap (and actually deserves the expletive) hot, but the best chili I have ever eaten. I love spicy and this was teetering on the edge of enjoyable. I would rate the spicy factor at an 8.5 for me. A 9 on my scale is spicy as a means of gratuitous violence. 9s will make you pace the floor. 9.5s make me stop eating them. Too uncomfortable. This has happened to me twice and both times with Indian food. I just quit eating. Too much pain. 10s are theoretical.
