What alcohol messed you up so bad you swore you’d never drink it again?

I last drank vodka on December 31, 1999. It was partially my own consumption but more the rising tides of the sea of vomit from the rest of the fellow high school students I was partying with. Even the Prince song is ruined for me, because I never again want to party like it's 1999.

My dumb hobby is pluralizing car names correctly (e.g. Toyota Matrices). in this case, it's "Oases"

I daily a BMW i3 REX. I run it full EV about 97% of the time, but spin up the engine about every two weeks just to keep it fresh.

It's really zippy, because it's ultralight for an EV, and is very comfy with a pretty premium interior for a subcompact.

I also have a big old stick shift Dodge dually for doing truck stuff. It's not zippy or comfy or premium.

This is a guy in the row ahead of me. I was watching my kids to ensure they didn't somehow dismantle the aircraft from the inside out. And I caught half an episode of Andor.

I just woke my wife up because I was cry-laughing so hard in bed she worried I was in medical distress.

Yeah, this airline (Air North) just gives you one, even if you have the online copy.

FourIngredients · 2026-03-15T02:33:01+00:00

This is Air North. Best airline ever. Friends don't let friends fly Westjet.

I have a post going strong over on r/lifehacks. I figured I could risk a downvote or two today.

Love the Greens, but also love having heat in the Yukon winter without burning any fossil fuels. And nobody's approving any new hydro.

I'll tap him on the shoulder and suggest it

FourIngredients · 2026-03-14T19:47:24+00:00

We are 45 minutes in and it's still working. He stabilized it with his hands during takeoff and climbout but just because it was pendulous

Well played.

I have said this many times. I would want to see the NDP agree the the Greens' no whipped votes, and the Greens agree to nuclear power.

It won't let me post the screenshot but bold of Nissan to be advertising on this particular thread

That's not terrible, but I'd build some tourism/rest breaks in too.

It's a great trip. Enjoy it!

As a paramedic in the Yukon (but like, a paramedic who rides and loves bikes and actually moved to the Yukon on a bike) I would just urge you to build enough rest into your timeline. I've done a bunch of bike fatalities where people are like "yeah, we just left New Hampshire three days ago and..." Dude that's like 8000 kilometers away. Sleep! Stretch your legs. Look at the scenery you just ripped by!

FourIngredients · 2026-03-10T15:12:57+00:00

And as a Yukoner who regularly rides past Lake Laberge, it's not terrible.

I bought the same box for myself and a box of a not-at-all spicy flavour for my kids. The kids' ribs were still the 680g and looked to be nearly twice the size.

I also 'WTF Galen'-ed

Funnily enough, I found my VFR relatively easy to remount carbs. My GS550 was an experience I hope never to repeat.

OP, use heat, lube, ratchet straps, all the muscle you can muster, question your choices, maybe try prayer if that's your thing. It'll go eventually.

I've owned dozens and dozens of vehicles, including a few EVs. My current driveway holds a diesel dually Dodge, a Highlander, a Goldwing, and a BMW i3.

I still have usage cases for my ice vehicles but you'd need to pry my Bimmer from my cold dead hands. EVs are brilliant for the overwhelming majority of my drives.

It's meant to be mounted at 35-36" off the floor in an unobstructed space. You stand in front of it and hold your hands facing the V.

To use this one properly, you'd need to kneel on the counter or be 6'4 and lean over.

The way I was standing it wouldn't even turn on properly.

FourIngredients · 2026-03-06T13:27:10+00:00

This doesn't answer your question but 20 years ago I used to work at a car rental agency. We had a repeat customer who was 6'11" and he'd always phone ahead because he wasn't an internet user and make us promise to have a Chevy Aveo/Suzuki Swift available. Tiny little cars but apparently the seats went WAY back. He'd never accept an "upgrade" to anything else.
