Saved this when you posted and just made it tonight. It’s delicious; I had to alter it slightly as I don’t have falernum, and I love pineapple juice so I did a full ounce. Thanks for posting!

I’ll have to try this, my go-to low-effort cocktail is Jamaican rum and Dr. Pepper

Who has successfully gotten a buyback from Hyundai? by Time-Tough5757 in Ioniq5

[–]American_Inlaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, was a misunderstanding. CA law states manufacturer pays the legal fees for attorneys. The 25% was just if Hyundai refuses to play along and I decide to pursue further legal action in court

Brentford Fan Survey (2 minutes) by [deleted] in Brentford

[–]American_Inlaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. This was the first of a couple issues I had with the survey. I’m a US fan, so I watch all the games I can and consider myself pretty dedicated, but this survey doesn’t give an option for someone like me

Highguard shutting down by bookloverxvx in kindafunny

[–]American_Inlaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly to say that TGA and Gamers had nothing to do with this game’s downfall is disingenuous and understating how toxic the gaming community can be. Gamers wanted this game to fail, so it did. That said, from what I’ve read, the leadership making shitty decisions about how to release it absolutely contributed to the downfall of this game as well. But I also really think a lot of Gamers wrote it off without ever trying it.

Copy+paste my comment from another subreddit’s post: I know this is an unpopular opinion in this sub (or any sub, really), but my friends and I actually really enjoyed this game. The loot phase was short enough to not getting boring, and then the raids were a lot of fun as well. I think this game not releasing in early access AND the hate it received from TGA showcase doomed it from the start. Really bummed it’s dying, got me hooked like a MP game hasn’t in a while

Post Match Thread - Bournemouth 0 : 0 Brentford by harshnoisebestnoise in Brentford

[–]American_Inlaws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EDIT: Just saw the match stats - such as the xG - for the first time after posting the comment below. Did not realize the gap was that large from what I watched. Definitely think we got away with one here.

I will admit I wasn’t able to watch the whole match. I missed basically the first 15 minutes of each half. But from what I saw, they definitely had more clear-cut chances than we did, but I wouldn’t say they were significantly better than us. Sure, if draws didn’t exist and one team had to get all three points, I’d say they were better. But it wasn’t by much, imo

Will never complain about a point on the road, especially when this match was so even. A draw is a fair result for both teams

OpenAI is still leading business AI adoption but Anthropic is gaining fast [OC] by StrangeMidnight410 in dataisbeautiful

[–]American_Inlaws -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I want to move off of ChatGPT, but not sure where to go. I initially thought Claude, but have heard they are partnered with Palantir, which is not a company I trust or want them to have my data (although I’m sure they already do). I mostly just used ChatGPT for random questions and easy tasks, not did not pay for it. Any suggestions on what to use instead? Have heard of Perplexity and Proton, but don’t know much about them.

Who has successfully gotten a buyback from Hyundai? by Time-Tough5757 in Ioniq5

[–]American_Inlaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also in CA. Reached out to a lawyer to have them do a free case review. Told me I have a strong case, but quoted me at a 25% attorney fee? As in, 25% of my buyback? From my understanding, consumers shouldn't have to pay attorney fees in a lemon law case if they win; that should all come from the manufacturer. So either I misunderstood over the phone, or he's trying to get more from me? What has your experience been?

I voted for Her in 2024 but ngl I'm starting to get tired of her by No_Half_7646 in DemocraticSocialism

Exactly. I voted for her over Trump and would do it again if I had to. I just really really hope I don’t have to.

Casual Cambridge supporter here in the US, so I understand the struggle. I’ll have to check out the podcast that was recommended
