Whats your favorite grocery store bbq sauce?

I find Stubbs is usually pretty drat good but sometimes I just want that super fake sweetness of sweet baby rays. Does kc masterpiece still use molasses or did they switch to corn syrup? Molasses is awesome.

As a creature of Costco I've always gotta have that Sweet Baby Ray's in the house. By which I mean it's hard to go through a 40 gallon tub.

I randomly chose an apologistic book about Caligula to report on that attempted to view him in a unbiased light way back when I was in school. It was alright.

Might have been this. Pretty much everyone who wrote about the dude who actually knew what went down is on the record as hating him, which is evidence that he was everything people tend to think about him. But it could also be evidence that maybe he wasn't quite all that bad and just pissed off the type of people who wrote about things back then.

I'm not actually recommending this book but it's about that other thing that's way over analyzed and not WW2 so...

You should get one of the books about the lesser known Emperors. There is one on Constanius II that is really good and loving Maximus Thrax is getting a book later in the year despite ruling for like ten minutes in one of the harder to understand eras.

Conservative policies are worthless.


Anthony Beevor has two of the most depressing books in Stalingrad and Berlin 1945, the first has horrifying accounts of germans being operated on (including amputations) without anesthesia when the encirclement got heavy.Russians having so much ammo they wasted anti-tank rifle shots in individual german soldiers,being driving in droves against machine gun nests with no weapons or clearing minefields by running through them.
Berlin 1945 is just rape.Like a solid quarter of the book is tales of sexual violence. Wages of Destruction is awesome and finally destroyed the myth of Nazi efficiency and well doing regarding economic matters for me.

I'm reading the Campaigns of Napoleon now.Pretty interesting stuff about Le petite Corporal and the destruction of multiple european armies (and nations )

The German Army did not have anywhere near the mechanization that western armies enjoyed in the war. They didn't choose horses because they were better suited to the terrain, they used them because they had no other choice, infantry pretty much walked everywhere too.

Mike Duncan's Rome podcast was so successful he got a book deal out of it.

Now he's doing revolutions with has covered the English revolution, American civil war, French Revolution (phenomemenal), Haitian revolution, and currently we're following bolivar around in South America.
