Economics: The sword of the upper-classes. 13/04/20(Sat)06:19 No. 2287 [Reply]

What does Austrian economics have to say about a strategic food reserve dumping stocks of food when the grain would otherwise spoil if held for longer?

Citations or references to books that support your opinion or the principles are greatly appreciated so I can cite this into a larger paper I'm writing. Economics isn't my field so I don't know where to start on such a specific question. I chose Austrian economics because from what I've read on topics of economic policy Austrian economics seems to be the most rational. Any alternative systems that are well supported and can address the topic are great and I'll write on them too.

Thanks.

Evening gentlemen!
I say, when enjoying a good hunt, what arm do you have on your side? I prefer the feel of a good Winchester myself.

You would rather me be a liar than you be unable to comprehend an insult. You can hardly string a sentence together without a mistake, what is more likely? I lied to obscure your idea of a child's idea of fanciness as a rather obvious insult or that you are in fact a fucking retard.

Why the fuck do you care? It's resolved, drop the topic. Clearly you need to work on your self esteem if you are this dedicated to degrading other people for entirely moot reasons.

* Marguarita *

3/4 shot of Tequila
1/2 shot of Cointreau
1/4 shot of lime juice.

(Slightly more than serving regulations, but I presume you need not worry about that in your own home.)

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. If you want to line the glass with salt, gently rub the edge of the glass with a piece of lime, then dip the glass onto a small plate with salt, prior to mixing the drink.


* Blue Lagoon *

1/2 shot Blue Curacao
1/2 shot vodka (citrus vodka is fine)

I believe that the right vest will increase the sophistication of any wardrobe by at least 10 points.

2nd.

Stereotypical as it sounds. Women do love to talk about themselves. Ask questions about them and they'll eagerly respond as long as it's not too personal. Let them finish talking and move on to something related to what they said. Just remember to ask open questions.

Ask them how they are, then follow up with their day (either what they've been getting up to or what they have planned (the prior being preferable if it's not too early)). In the event that you do get in to small talk and hit awkward territory, don't try to keep the conversation going. Tackle the issue head, something along the lines of how you "thought small talk was meant to be easy" normally gets a laugh and breaks the ice again.

Gentlemen, for quite some time now I have been pondering the question "What makes a Man a Man?" and I have come up with no clear, single answer. Perhaps one of you fine gents can provide your opinion on the question?

The picture is only as related as you wish it to be.

matt+bock 13/03/31(Sun)23:16 No. 2195

a man is the byproduct of evolution, his environment, genetics and his own choices. It's not so much what makes a man, but what makes a person a good one, or a POS. And that is in the eye of the beholder.

Brutalis!HF.bGyUKfA 13/04/01(Mon)05:13 No. 2198

To understand the answer, one must first understand the question.

How does one define a man? The mere presence of a penis is not enough. One is legally a man when a male turns 18, but again age does not make one a man. Therefore we must look at what a man is in terms of society.

What is a man's role in ancient society? To provide. Testosterone exists so that we, as men, can hunt down mammoth and cave sloth. We lived hard and fast, bringing in the meat for our families, and dying young - mauled by a sabertooth. That is what a man is. A hunter, a killer, a provider.

Today, however, Western society has changed to such a level that gender roles play little purpose. Women are no longer destined to be housewives. Men are no longer destined to provide.

I argue that today, there are few men left in the western world. There are some, yes. Eustace Conway serves as a good example of what a man was and should be.

Call me Ishiah.
I am a humble man with a taste in the finer things in life. I have acquired nearly £100 in what can only be described as ignoble means.... and I aim to spend it on a bottle of liquor.
I generally procure bottles of whisky ("scotch" for my American friends) when I take the notion, but today I feel the urge to dip my toe into the exciting world of brandy/cognac.

Which one of you fine gentlemen would care to point me in the direction of a worthy bottle to throw my "hard earned" money at??

Which bottle would make an appropriate companion to my walnut trimmed humidor?


>>
matt+bock 13/03/31(Sun)23:14 No. 2194

the answer is simple - whatever your taste buds lead you to.
If you're never tried brandy before then you may not like it. Marks of quality are often a load of pretentious poo that marketers and distillers pay off critics for.

So drink what you like, not what's expected of you.
ps - the best cigar I ever had was a cuban reject torpedo, with cream soda.

I personally prefer Bache Gabrielsen's XO, though it is mainly exported to the Scandinavian market. De Luze has a quite nice XO too.

You could also try Calvados, apple cider brandy, though I could not recommend any specific brand there.

>>2194
>If you're never tried brandy before then you may not like it.
For the uninitiated I would also stress the importance of using a proper glass and letting the warmth from your hands bring the liquor to it's proper drinking temperature. Cold brandy or cognac just isn't nice.

Classiest cars thread?

1931 Cadillac Series 370 A Coupé

V-12 engine, they put such a beast in tanks and AFV's of the time.

Why?

Because go great or go home.
