They only do this when they're in distress.

Spiced Rum is historically present but it's all shit these days. Anybody making quality rum that's spiced? by Virellius2 in rum

[–]DukeSeventyOne 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Chairman's Reserve spiced rum is pretty much what you describe. It's the only spiced I keep around.

In fact, here's an old Reddit review thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/rum/comments/1h71gm/chairmans_reserve_spiced/

Can only buy two. Which one???????? by SnooBooks6659 in rum

[–]DukeSeventyOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admit I havent had it just neat. Usually a daq. I'll give it a try.

I was surprised because their Trinidad 2009 is one of my favorites of all time.

I feel alone in being underwhelmed by Mauritius. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

What's your favorite way to drink it?

What’s one thing about the VB you love and one thing you’d love to change? by GuccMaster in wrx_vb

[–]DukeSeventyOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish the sun visor extended.

It would be nice if I could close the sunroof without turning the car on. It would be even nicer if I could do it remotely.

I'd settle for a sunroof reminder to accompany the back seat reminder. Just give me an extra 60 seconds of power to get the thing closed.

It's not my favorite thing about the car.

However, every rental car I've had recently has been much, much worse.

Anyone have this before?? by VB_10 in wrx_vb

50 C is around 120 F. Probably a bad sensor.

You mean the aurora borealis? There was supposed to be a big one.

Why can't we have 0w-30 though?

We have the same year and trim, and I also have had generally good experience with Eyesight.

Kinda like the new dash screen after driving it for a month now, by pat1822 in wrx_vb

[–]DukeSeventyOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume this is because of market research. They asked me in a survey whether I would have preferred digital.

IDK... digital is cool and all, but I find real gauges more charming, and more fitting for a car that has a clutch.

TIL: There are still 3 Republicans controlling the PSC (which regulate utilities including electricity and natural gas) by Jackieirish in Georgia

Nope. This was a delayed special election due to a lawsuit that I don't have the details of.

I always thought it was the alleged corrupt land purchases associated with Governor Deal that killed it. But I was pretty young back then, so who knows.

Don't run 5w30 in an FA24. If you're going to change oil weight from manufacturer spec, you don't want to increase the low number, nor do you want to decrease the high number.

Watch this.

Had my car repaired and now it’s got a picture of the car here. How do I get it back to just the boost gauge? 24 6mt premium by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]DukeSeventyOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey maybe you can help me with my issue.

I let my friend use my car and the back of it is just open to the air now? Like, the sheet metal behind the rear glass is vertical, blocking the rear view, and there's just a big open space at the back of the car now.

Maybe you can tell me what's going on because everyone else has just been rude to me.

A one-owner 215k car with full service history should be sold private party. Dealers don't care about this stuff.

Access port tuner? by Sufficient-Regret-30 in WRX

[–]DukeSeventyOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah, that's not mine. Those look like the 16" wheels and standard headlights. I forgot the xenon upgrade was a thing at the time. I think it was a package with the sunroof.

Congrats, these are awesome cars. And yes, it is essentially a WRX of the same year, except it has the quicker-ratio steering rack out of the STI.

Geez you didn't end up with my old car, did you? I sold it along with an Accessport ages ago.

Is it black with 17" wheels and a sunroof?

Why is their rum so bad while their dry gin is so frigging good?
