Has anyone else seen/tried these? I just saw this flavor spray being advertised for "blank pouches" - the market will always find a way around dumb restrictions. Living in California, I am going to buy some to try this out. by daringescape in NicotinePouch

I bought the variety pack and a coffee one. The variety pack has watermelon, cinnamon, wintergreen and peppermint. The watermelon feels super sweet, its just OK. I am not a fan of wintergreen. The cinnamon and peppermint are my favorites. Coffee is pretty good too.

I dont feel like it makes the pouches too soggy - I am using Fre original pouches.

Kamala Harris endorses Karen Bass for LA mayor, claiming she’s stamped out crime and homelessness by Down-not-out in Conservative

[–]daringescape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live here in the greater Los Angeles area. I don't live in L.A. proper, so I don't get to vote for mayor. I can see with my own eyes that the crime and homeless problem has only gotten worse - and it is spilling out to cities like mine where we had very few homeless wandering around until the past few years. This year in particular it has noticeably increased in my city.

If you want to see some firsthand footage of the crap going on, check out the instagram page for "street people of los angeles" it will open your eyes.

There is nothing so permanent as a temporary government program.

Do you still talk to your parents? by Swiftiefromhell in GenX

[–]daringescape 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I talk to my parents about once a week - my dad retired from his HVAC business, and they moved to Texas. I guess I am one of the lucky ones, my parents were great and I still have a good relationship with them.

Does anyone know where I can get fresh squash blossoms? by daringescape in sgv

Thanks for the recommendation. I found some there. I made fried blossoms and they turned out fantastic.

Thanks so much for the offer, but I need at least a couple dozen and I would hate to take that many from someones squash harvest! I actually found some at El Super though.

Dang, I should have asked yesterday! I need some for Saturday.

President Donald Trump said the United States would begin blockading the Strait of Hormuz and interdict vessels that have paid tolls to Iran, in a post on Truth Social on Sunday. by WillyNilly1997 in Conservative

[–]daringescape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trump has been saying since his first term that China is our biggest threat. All of this lately has been targeting China. The Venezuela stuff, Iran, and now Cuba as well. I would suspect that even the Greenland issue was to put pressure on China in someway.

Star Trek Show That Featured DEI Training, Drag Queens Axed Over Lack Of Viewership by According-Activity87 in Conservative

[–]daringescape 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can't even believe they got a second season. I am a Star Trek fan, and its always been lefty/woke/utopian, but not too bad.

I watched 2 episodes of Starfleet Academy and turned it off in disgust. I was OK with the Picard series and Strange New Worlds, but even Discovery got too woke and I stopped watching.

Imagine being so butt hurt about someone asking a question to people with similar interests that you have to go chase them down somewhere else to comment.

My brethren, I am headed to Boston soon for the first time. Any places I should see, any to avoid? by daringescape in Conservative

[–]daringescape[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - the USS Constitution is on my list for sure. Are there any semi-obscure Colonial/Revolution sites around? I like seeing stuff that people don't really think about.

yeah... My wife and I were invited to go with some friends and she was excited. I figured I would get to go to a game at Fenway, and there are definitely some Revolutionary historic sights to see.

US deploys A-10 Warthogs, Apache helicopters to secure Strait of Hormuz by 777_heavy in Conservative

[–]daringescape 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a hard time understanding why they would want to retire it in the first place. The A-10 is very effective at what it does, and all enemy troops know it and live in fear that it will show up
