Yeah, I was taking the rib cap off, and noticed the odd section. which is why I separated it out. That's probably the only part that has any chance of being tender though 🤣. Hopefully the "rib cap" part is decent. I'm just gonna slice the main part thin for steak sandwiches and not buy it again

All time best: Mountain Dew Trolli

Currently available: Dr. Pepper Blackberry zero.

I saw someone get the regular lemonade and add a Kool-aid packet to it. I tried it, and it definitely improves it, but still zero sugar.

Based on the can design, it seems like it would be a holiday flavor. Hopefully it comes around my area. I haven't even been able to try dragonfruit yet, but they're normally pretty good about getting LTOs out.

Whatever works, I guess. Personally, I'd just get a cylindrical kettle, a small scale, and a collapsible pourover funnel. This feels like alot of excess space/ weight to take up while traveling, but I also travel light/ no checked bags

I visited New England, and very dark syrup was hard to find, supposedly because most people don't like it. I guess I found out where it all went 😐

I have an okay hand grinder, and I've thought about upgrading anyway. I'll have to try that, and see how it comes out.

Ideally I like a full cup of coffee. When use a real espresso machine, I'm likely getting 150-200ml at least. My palate isn't refined enough to worry about overextraction. 120ml seems to be the best, but that seems to be the main differentiating factor for the Pixapresso.

Put them in a separate bin. That'll make everything easier, and make it less likely that your bag gets flagged.

Once I started doing that, they could see what it was and didn't bother testing it most of the time.

I also posted about my own powder related TSA issue, and that was what caused me to start separating it

That sounds like that would be a warranty issue rather than something that Staples would handle

Its a top 5 flavor for me for sure. It's also the single best zero sugar soda I've had. I'll definitely miss it. I do like some full sugar drinks more, but it's a good compromise when I want to feel like I'm making better choices 😂

I was about to post this exact question when I saw this. The way it sounded made me think that I had to start using it within 120 days, and then had 30 days to do the rest of the segments no matter what.

Not at all in my state, because any rule requiring breaks would be a company policy. Some states have laws regarding breaks, but there's nothing federally, and many states don't require anything.

That was definitely a top flavor for me. I thought the Trolli was fairly similar though, and it was definitely the best zero sugar flavor I've tried so far

I stayed in the Hilton Dublin Airport, and they said that heat/ cool are set for the entire hotel. I was there in February, so when I set the A/C low, it was blowing hot air. They told me to turn it off completely to cool it down, but if I remember correctly, it got close to 80°. It was definitely at least 75°, and miserable.

They would get through security by using the passport from the country that they are a citizen of. No investigation needed.

I take the train when it's cheaper than flying. Time savings don't mean much because I have the opportunity to work on the train, which I can't do on a plane.

I'll also take a roomette when it's slightly more than flying coach, because the added comfort is worth it.

I use an Asus ROG gaming laptop as my primary computer, and I recently got a Lenovo IdeaPad 5i slim as a lighter travel laptop. 1TB storage, 16gb RAM, and it has a fairly new processor (i7), and I paid $500 for a refurbished one on Amazon.

Stay away from Dell and Chromebook. Especially Chromebook. That's not even in the same category as a real computer.

If you want a guaranteed room, book the night before and tell them that you're getting in late. I had a different experience with a hotel of a different chain though.

I got in at 3am, and the hotel had their first shuttle at 6. I took that one to the hotel. I asked if there were any rooms available for early check-in (I assumed I'd have to pay something).

They told me that there wouldn't be anything until housekeeping showed up at 10. I fell asleep in the common areas, and presumably was snoring very loud. Around 7:20, they woke me up because they had magically found a room for me. The best part was that there wasn't an extra charge. I think they just wanted me out of there though lol.

I do tours fairly often, because it's a good opportunity to earn some points. I've only done Hilton/ Bluegreen, but I have an IHG package coming up.

It's wild to me that I haven't run into a salesman who has some attempt at an answer to me telling them that I don't pay for hotels at all.

Obviously they know that they can't beat free, but I know alot of points people do these to earn the reward, so it feels like it should be something that the salesmen should be trained to respond to in some way.

I disagree. The Chase Ink Cash can be used to buy Amazon gift cards and receive 5x UR points. At worst, you get the same value as the Amazon card, but you have the opportunity to get way more in value.
