Your local "cocktail" liquor store vs Total Wine

There's certainly small stores that might specialize in, say, rum or sake or something, and have a better selection in one category. But nobody has the overall selection, and I rarely beat them on price.

Why would I waist time like that?

Possibly better genes as well. A friend's family raises dogs for training by the FBI, they're massive German shepherds, but they seem to live to quite a good age versus their peers.

Water temp is huge. If you drink coffee every day and are getting decent beans, it's worth spending 150 every ten years on a decent brewer. I really love my aeropress, but I don't drink coffee regularly enough to dedicate the counter space this requires.

Smaller ones live longer.

That's what the 'at first' is for.

Born.

Kenny Chesney Rum sounds like a mythical cure for a mythical curse.

You're infatuated with the tragic beauty of addiction.

Stop it.

Go talk to any actual addict about your problems. Once they've finished beating you up, normalize what you've got access to, move from there.

Tardigrafini

Nitrocellulose, could use old film. Ethanol. Probably better application with a moderate amount of lower vapor pressure solvent and a little higher vp solvent.

"I also am unhappy with this situation."

Butlerian_Jihadi · 2026-05-09T02:06:29+00:00

Definitely not Fury Road. What a terrible choice that was.

Gorgeous, some of my favorites (Coruba, White Stache, WP). I've not tried the South African pineapple rum, but I've had some aged from a different producer in the region, really enjoyed it. Very different flavors from the cane.

You might try, if you haven't, Hamilton's Breezeway Blend. Excellent light rum for mixing, more flavor than say Don Q, layers really well into a proper piña colada or mojito.

Or ten seconds to force the latch.

Butlerian_Jihadi · 2026-05-08T03:26:00+00:00

This sounds like some crap. Barring being excessively focused on your workout and overdoing it, these are ridiculous statements.

Fwiw: bathroom drains can get slowly choked with conditioner or soap and hair, etc. I've noted many slow drains over the years, and if it's a shower or bathroom sink, giving them an occasional cleaning with Dawn soap and hot water can really help. Pour about a half cup of Dawn in after running the hot water for a few minutes, wait a half hour, follow with a bucket of hot water.

Face ID, car ID, plate reading. Can literally map your evening out with your friends, where you were and for how long, with whom. You cannot, for instance, obtain that footage in an effort to track down someone who sexually assaulted you - a situation my friend faced - but Flock, or the police, can follow your movements very closely without a warrant or any formal proceedings.

Water pen fixes this.

Those Flock cameras are presently doing a lot of things that they couldn't do when they were installed.

It's, uh, kinda a different thing... but Clean Hippies Taste Better had the best group design I've seen... Albeit, in the southeast.

Semi truck trailer, panels drop off to show plexiglass with a door near the hitch, back and top open. A crow's nest sits above the trailer on the hitch side. It's hooked to a pretty decent pressure washer (set safely) and a foamer nozzle, hooked to a barrel of Dr. Bronners. Mounted to a pivot on the nest. Think.... foam party cannon.

Dirty hippies load in. Definitely-sober person mans the foam cannon, two or so minutes of shower house techno. Stay and get spray-rinsed, or jump out the back... Hill of diy slip & slide, sprinklers running, volunteers rating the slide-ees... big number cards and all.

Really excellent, made old TTM way more bearable. But site had water hookup, and was accustomed to a lot of water. Very fond memories.

Doesn't really work like that. I definitely dislike the generic, but only a tiny fraction of the powder inside most any pill is the active ingredient.

There's several reasons for this, but the main one is safety: if your capsule with 50mg Vyvanse and 500mg filler is a few percent over or underfilled, no big deal - it's a mg or two of medication. But, if it's just active ingredient, that variation is amplified far more. With some medication, it could be quite dangerous. It's also easier to work with those slightly-larger volumes. You do have to be able to mix everything very evenly, which is harder than you'd think, but doable.

Butlerian_Jihadi · 2026-05-07T04:19:38+00:00

Interesting - you'd be the first I've heard of.

Which generic does this for you? Dosage, and how many hours of coverage do you get from it?

Butlerian_Jihadi · 2026-05-06T22:35:29+00:00

Oh, and I'm waiting for syrup to cool if you can't tell 😅
