QUESTION do you prefer to squeeze limes or use sweetened lime juice (this is not a trick question)

i prefer to squeeze them tbh, then mix in sugar brine afterwards. exact ratios vary according to how limey i'm feeling

when i'm just slacking off at home i'll use rose's, though, it's much less effort and it's not actually worse imo, just a little boring after a while

V. Illych L.: how does norway/scandinavia view estonia/estonians

they're basically part of the Not-Russian Near Slav stereotype to us, which is to say we don't really distinguish between them and the other baltics+poland. in norway, they are sort of similar to how many hispanics are seen in america.

nobody cares about how northern they seem to imagine they are, even if our ancestors did murder, pillage and force their religion on theirs

afaik boxing died around 1980 with a brief resurgence in the 90s when tyson wrecked a bunch of bum-fights graduates and bit off noted not-a-bum evander holyfield's ear. with heavyweight boxing dead and money still having to be made, attention turned towards the lower weight classes and it turns out there are only two boxers who aren't total jokes - mayweather and pacquiao. they both spent 90% of their career just dodging each other and collecting meaningless titles but at 36 and 38, the money gods of boxing have decided to force them to fight each other. the fight is special because it should have happened ages ago and because there's a stupid amount of money to be made.

nah you're forgetting the de la hoya resurgence, plus more than a few of mayweather's and pacquiao's opponents were no jokes

heavyweight boxing has always ebbed and flowed imo but then again i've never really been a fan

they're probably the two best fighters of their generation and the generation immediately following (though the fact that we're far enough into that second generation to be able to say that is a knock against the timing of this fight), and yes it should have happened in 09/10. they've got a lot more wear on them than they did in their primes, but they're still the top of their sport.

they're also consummate showmen who, through a combination of savvy promotion and actually being good boxers, have become household names in a time when boxing commands less and less of the combat sport market share to say nothing of the sport market share generally.

this is the last boxing match (that we can foresee) that sells itself in america - i don't want to rule out a rallying talent like de la hoya who reinvigorates the sport by being fun to watch coming along, but there doesn't appear to be one.

lest you think this is all historical hype, no, hbo and showtime have loving broken backs to push this fight as a huge event. so it's both legitimate and meme'd i guess.

ah thanks, though personally i am far more hyped for mitt romney's boxing match in 2 weeks
