“If you don’t use your ice very often, store it in a plastic bag, because your ice will start to pick up ambient flavors from your freezer,” Castro says. “You’ll pour a little Japanese whiskey over an ice cube and go, ‘This tastes like frozen pizza.’”

"When I came back to run the plant, we were making 15,000 gallons a year. This year, we are budgeted to make 28 million gallons," said Neal, who at 80 is still the company chairman, though he sold off a majority interest in the plant in 1999.

The Ace has 700 watts of blending power, and it has 600 watts of heating power. The heating element is concealed in the blender’s base, and the hot programs are designed to combine boiling and blending, so you can make a meal in a blender.

Of course, a lot has changed in three decades. America has an African-American president; Cosby no longer is so beloved (nor lecturing rap stars on how to behave). Yet a lot has stayed the same. There’s still police brutality and race riots; Tom Cruise is developing a Top Gun sequel. But the world has changed enough, it seems, that a major Hollywood studio could decide to spend $29 million on a film about a musical group that once rapped in favor of violence against the police and wrote songs with titles like "One Less Bitch." Somewhere between the ’80s and the 2010s, N.W.A went from being public enemy No. 1 to marketable mainstream entertainment in multiplexes in every neighborhood in the country.

The tragic episode under­scores what a delicate line Universal must walk with Straight Outta Compton. The founders of N.W.A may be respectable members of society now­­adays — indeed, one earned $500 million for selling his headphone company, Beats, to Apple, another is a movie star who has shared the screen with George Clooney and Kevin Hart — but the rap group they created 30 years ago still carries echoes from its violent past.

And most of the time you look and you see that it’s a thing where someone is abusing their authority or abusing their power and they’re shitting around."

These days, ugly Christmas sweaters are nearly as traditional as tinsel and wrapping paper. Despite the name, though, they aren’t always revolting to look at, and these Star Wars sweaters are proof. This X-Wing vs. TIE fighter incarnation calls back to the original trilogy in a kitschy but not overly offensive way, and its knitted threads will keep you warm all winter long. If it’s iconic characters you’re after, consider these Darth Vader and R2D2 versions.

I’m escaping the impending weather in a nook in the city. It’s a faraway place, nowhere near my childhood. Books, once bottomless life rafts, are listless now. The void is looking at me—hello, old friend. Someone clicks their pen and asks, “Do you take cream with your coffee?” Just in time. The void was starting to look like my ex and the faithless life I lead.
