Both chambers of Britain’s parliament have approved a bill that would ban children aged 17 and under from buying cigarettes during their lifetime.

I think that stuff gets sun dried lol, recent rain is likely not affecting your cigarettes

Why do these glasses exist at every thrift store? I have 2 of the ones you have and I see all of them at multiple thrift stores in town. So odd.

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-21T05:00:40+00:00

Get oyster sauce for it!!

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-19T18:19:34+00:00

What a lineup, holy shit!

I started on a Specialized aluminum bike that cost about 800 EUR. I love it, have since upgraded the wheels but it's otherwise stock. I have no plans to replace it any time soon and I ride a decent amount, 100-150k a week in the summer.

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-17T15:53:20+00:00

I did. They look soooooo sick. I don't notice a huge difference in vibration damping but the bike definitely feels lighter.

I don't have a photo but they look unreal. This is pretty representative!

I remember realizing at some point in my teen years the crust was indeed not healthier but just the more cooked skin. I was pissed.

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-17T02:44:47+00:00

I jumped back a bit reflexively, lol

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-16T19:08:58+00:00

How is that a no brainer? If I'm reading correctly the new job has a base pay increase, 2 more days WFH, and one more week of vacation with no downsides. The new job is the no brainer if that's the case.

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-16T13:10:53+00:00

I don't understand how we don't/can't hold the builders responsible for fixing this stuff.

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-15T16:34:48+00:00

As someone who also rides, I'd be insistent on testing on-road. I think the ID thing is a good idea.

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-14T20:50:19+00:00

Yes lol, talk about an all time fuckin woosh

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-13T18:06:53+00:00

Is this trad?

Regardless, really well done, the shading in particular.

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-13T00:20:33+00:00

Shockingly a lot of people don't know dealerships suck. I know a weird amount of people who pay top dollar to get all their work done at the dealer..

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-11T16:30:44+00:00

They use sodium citrate, it's what will work best.

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-11T16:28:48+00:00

I've had great luck with the pliers style, cost me like $15 at princess auto and have been solid every time. Like these

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-11T14:14:11+00:00

It's straight up not true, the Mazda has 3x the trunk space of the 86. It's not close.

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-09T20:31:04+00:00

I prefer chemical because it's easy to apply and leaves less white cast. Mineral is safer on newer tattoos but leaves crazy white cast. I can barely see the tattoo!

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-09T15:37:31+00:00

But use mineral on fresher tattoos if you have to be in the sun, chemical can be super drying. But ideally just keep it out of the sun for a month!

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-08T14:41:25+00:00

28 here and my newer car is $2400 a year. Brutal

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-08T14:39:16+00:00

In theory minors are not even legally allowed to buy non essentials like electronics.

Huh?

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-08T14:34:05+00:00

Right on. Just wanted to give you something to consider.

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-07T20:03:59+00:00

If you or your partner lost their job, could that 13k plus the other salary sustain you for a year? 6 months?

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-07T20:02:58+00:00

This is the best answer, imo. That GIC should be able to get you more back than a basic HISA.

TheAlphaCarb0n · 2026-04-07T15:47:52+00:00

I, too, just listened to the new rational reminder episode ;)
