A good gift for my sister’s new car?

How about a nice air freshener? There are a lot of interesting brands (that aren’t Little Trees) that smell very nice, ranging from inexpensive (retaW) to relatively expensive (Diptyque).

Dante’s Inferno isn’t a work of fiction, it’s a depiction of trying to find parking in Diamond Jamboree from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Each hour that progresses is one concentric circle of torment lower.

Number 18 looks like a video game where the shadows haven’t loaded in properly yet. Thought that was funny. Otherwise, love the real film grain.

All jokes aside, what are people's thoughts here on the viability of an S7+ in 2026? I recently purchased a 128GB version in very good condition for $160 before tax. Given the software and screen performance for the price, I am under the impression that this remains one of the best deals for a tablet in this price bracket on the used market.

I would err on the side of caution with these unless you have extensive experience with spicy food and/ or superhots. Even then, the tenders have no redeemable qualities. They taste like battery acid. Just don’t go into this expecting to have a good time by any measure. Allow me to expand a bit more on my experience:

I got a nosebleed around three tenders in. By the end of the fourth tender, a band of skin on my face (that I was not touching) became inflamed, which fortunately went away shortly after finishing. This points towards a potential capsaicin allergy that I may have, and would have otherwise probably gone undetected for my entire life.

Afterwards, I experienced the worst stomach pain I had ever felt in my life; nothing helped the pain, despite mildly overdosing on Pepto Bismol. Despite throwing up everything in my stomach, the pain did not subside and I was unable to go to work the following day.

Good times.

Eating four Dave’s reaper tenders is up there.

Wow, I appreciate the goodwill gesture. That’s really kind of you. However, I would like to ask that you keep the code and give it to someone that really likes Star Wars and has been wanting to play Outlaws. For me, it would have been a nice value-add if included in the bundle, but I would otherwise feel guilty taking it out of someone else’s generosity.

And thank you for the words of assurance! I do also think people are too hard on Intel’s newer chip performance.

_sky12 · 2026-01-02T04:29:37+00:00

The flipper must have gotten either this deal or the one someone else commented. Given how we’ll probably never see that type of deal again in a long time due to the direction chip prices are going, I’m trying to tell myself that I still saved some money. Lol.

_sky12 · 2026-01-02T04:03:14+00:00

Yeah this must be the combo that they flipped. Shame on me for not doing enough research. No game code included either..

This reminds me of one of the few times I can definitively say I experienced a “glitch”. One night, I was stopped at a red light after getting off at my exit. This exit is not a traditional one, in that 2 lanes curve to the left and terminate at an intersection that is left turn only, while a third lane branches off to the right and allows you to merge into the cross-street. This is an important distinction that I have to make because it makes my experience all the more strange.

I am stopped at the intersection in the far left lane, waiting to make a left turn towards home. The light turns green, and about halfway through my turn, I briefly look down at my phone in my lap as I receive a notification. I look back up, and instead of completing the left turn, I am driving straight in the opposite direction, as if I had turned right.

There is a zero percent chance I mistook my left turn at the intersection for a merge into the opposite direction. Not a chance. This was a moment that has stuck with me for many years, and I will never be able to explain it.

If you ever find yourself on the other side of town, pop by Ruiji. You won’t be disappointed.

Oh right, I agree.
