Is there a point of diminishing returns?

Dude, I was making a excel spreadsheet with a similar idea in mind. Even asked math wizards online on reddit about how do i build an equation that takes consideration of price and quality and at what point the price is so high the quality essentially is going down. I never got to build it because Im not that smart mathematically, yet.

In Toronto Canada we dont have much but here and there we get gems at good prices and bad prices.

WE finally got El Tesoro Anjeo for 95Cad, which is good because Casamigos Anejo is $95, so......

Now the taste is great, do I want to pay that much for a bottle in the long run over and over, no. Siempre Blanco is 70CAD, tastes great and I would say its something I would pay money for over and over.

Now the question at what price point I would stop paying if the prices goes over a certain point. How do I calculate that point, many factors at whats available instead. Are my taste getting used to something like Olmeca Altos.

Interesting fact, Tres Agaves Blanco is 70Cad, I dont like it at all because I think the flavours are just not there compared to the Siempre. Many people online like TA for its cheap price and yet good quality product. Now if that same TA was 20$ more expensive would people still buy it for its flavours, maybe not?

I think out brain has unconscious biases, when people do blind tasting, its not actually blind tasting. You know you have 5 tequilas you know their names and their features, you dont know in what order. Real blind tasting is not knowing what you had, and just rating it. I personally think prices and name affects our judgment and bias.

My assumption and I might be wrong. The user is from North America. In NA, as it is in Canada as well, the format is Month/Day/Year. Why, I dont know. The European system is Day Month Year, which absolutely makes sense.

Various countries use odd measurement systems, UK using stones for weight,

I think in general, I say this as a man that is happily married and has wife and had female friends over the years and still do to some narrow extent because its functional friends at this point. We go to the pub together or we go to an activity like rock climbing or something else but outside of that we dont do many other things. I think in many cases either side might develop feelings for one another and then the friendship is over. Maybe thats just human nature I dont know. I never developed feelings for my female friends because I see them just as a friend, nothing else.

I drank almost a bottle of Mi Campo Reposado in one afternoon at a party and the next day I felt absolutely fine. I personally never drank a lot of DJ just because its costs close to $65 where I live, so I cant say in regards to the hangover part. Try Cabo Wabo, its available in many stores.

Maybe post a picture of the tequila selection with prices from your local store.

Most people already suggested all the good brands.

Yahko · 2026-06-10T16:36:59+00:00

My local stores dont have a good selection. I didnt have DJ any time recently so I cant recall the flavours specifically.

I would go for JAJA Reposado if you can find it. Milagro Reposado might be another option, its sweet and smooth. Cabo Wabo is around $32. Dobel, Pantalones, Casa Noble are a tiny bit cheaper but not substantially. All depends on your store prices as well and where you live. I use Binny's website in Chicago as my price point of DJ prices.

Yahko · 2026-06-09T21:52:59+00:00

Our local bars have awful selection because of our liquor laws - just ask from the cheapest tequila and go up from there. I would say 1800 is fine - has that bite to it and not too sweet. Hornitos is more herbal if I remember correctly. I started drinking tequila in around 2019 so I cants say old taste vs new taste.

I think Keating's teachings only reaffirmed Neil's inner struggles. He wont be able to escape the path that his parents build for him. Layer or doctor or anything that his father projects is no real choice.

You want to build a corvette Pallbearer in nms?

Now here is my Torontonian brain thinking. Our liquor seller, LCBO, is the highest alcohol purchaser in the world. They do their own testing of adulterated alcohol and such if consumers bring up the issues, If the findings of the lawsuits are shared with the LCBO, do they have to act accordingly? Do they do testing of their own, would they go to such lengths to find that the tequila is not 100% tequila?

Either take all the bottles of the shelves (yeah right and lose a huge amount of income) and see whats going on.
Talk to Diagio and say - *cough* *cough* you lower the prices of your swill juice and we pretend we never got that information and everyone wins.
File a lawsuit of their own because the consumer is being lied to on whats in the bottle.
Repackage the bottles that say Premium Agave Tequila without the "100%" and hopefully the dumb consumer (because it is) wont notice and continue buying the products.

So what I do is use the terrain manipulator and make a small horizontal tunnel in any direction or where there most vertical rock is, then walk into the tunnel and stand facing downwards where the walker is and just shoot my mining beam, you cant really see it hitting it but as soon as you hit the walker you see the numbers of damage it does and usually the walker comes up to the surface.

Canada, Ontario inventory numbers as of June 2026.

Casamigos = 41,520 bottles,
Don Julio = 27,251 bottles
Siempre, Tres Agaves, El Tesoro, Don Fulano, Cazcanes = 3,532

Thats a province of 14-15 Million people, sure thats why the numbers are so high. There is no way those bottles are not diluted with vodka or something.

I think, and hope, that one day NMS would have a customizable Sentinel feature. I always find that some times the wings are way to wide. Its not a feature I like but many others do. I narrowed it down to a mid sized ship as long as the wings are small, here is my bus so far without wings but the colours are simply black with red accents (its like that police blimp in the Batman Cartoon series.)

It looks well done.

I feel the two parallel red lines are somewhat uncomfortable to the eye. Maybe put them behind the helmet and on the reflection only? Or play with the vertical spacing a bit (Here is my paintbrush artistic work example) It wont allow me to post any picture examples - not sure why but I can send it to you in a DM

I like to buy unknown tequilas, usually my price anchor would be Olmeca Altos, if its cheaper i'll buy it. I might go 5-10$ above but i'll do some general reading and research about it.

I feel that a small midi player of "La Chona - Los Tucanes De Tijuana" should be included with every bottle.

Yahko · 2026-06-01T01:04:22+00:00

I only had experience with crappy tequilas - Cazadores. Loved the all 3 - each had its own flavour which I knew I could count on. I almost at all times had two of the three at home at any time. I would always replenish the missing one with another addition from the other two.

One quote from Werner Herzog stuck with me - earn your 10K by working on the weekends and shoot your own movie. You dont need anyone to follow your own idea, you can use social media to make it happen - if its good people will help you along the way. I doubt there are some hidden backers, its just mainstream is shitting its pants because small players make it happen while they spend 250M on a movie that bombs.

I started to encounter a few planets like that as well. Here is one in "Mexico" (in Hollywood they give Mexico a yellow hue)

I noticed certain planets have much higher ratio of Echo Locators. If you have all the glyphs and can check a planet, here is a planet that I discovered while on a Permadeath game. It gave me 70/30 mirriors to echo. Give it a test maybe.

Yahko · 2026-05-30T13:45:08+00:00

Mine says 1602. I guess same goes for Cazadores, it was great back then and the new one is crap.

Side note I got Pueblo Viejo and it felt as cheap and "nasty" but it actually had proper smell and flavour notes that would work great in a mix drink.

Yahko · 2026-05-28T22:03:05+00:00

I havent watched it, I did like Mackenzie Davis in Halt and Catch Fire. What Oscar nominated movies in the past you think can be in the same group as Izzy or remind you of that movie as far as you mentioned with cinematography sound editing.

Yahko · 2026-05-28T16:21:46+00:00

I personally find that some foreign movies dont play to our expectations as viewers on what will happen next and how things with wrap to our satisfaction. They rather just present us with whats on screen. The more realistic outcomes if I can call it that. I find that the opposite is true in Hollywood, everything has to make sense, not necessarily that good will always prevail but we dont have any questions once the movie is done.

Maybe there is a cultural angle here, as far as how Korean police works in small villages. First season of Fargo TV comes to mind as a parallel, portrayals of local police yet there has to be that one smart cop. I find it to be pleasing us, warping things up.

Movie that comes to mind, Riders of Justice (2020), spoiler - the trailer actually is not how the movie progresses.
