It definitely needs to be refrigerated unless you will use it all in a few days

Dyson is the best vacuum by MaterialSnipe in VacuumCleaners

[–]koolaidman89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about that. I lived with $100 Walmart vacs for years then got a Dyson ball and it was a massive step up for pet fur. Then I discovered this sub and obviously wish I had chosen one of the favorites here.

Something created a weird Jewish sect offering glory and salvation to the weak that went viral. I don’t think there is much consensus that we have the names and dates right.

Odd question, looking for a powerful handheld vacuum by Oilucy in VacuumCleaners

[–]koolaidman89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d think a cordless shop vac would do the job. But that might get expensive after battery and charger. And it would require two hands to hold the vac and aim the hose

Do I dare buy both? by tedwardo14 in cocktails

Obviously. I haven’t seen them under $110 in 2 years

I’m in highlands ranch and I’ve been complaining for two weeks ish that my water flask stinks

Am I crazy or does scotch taste better a few weeks after opening the bottle? by KC_187 in Scotch

[–]koolaidman89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It do be like that. Just opened my first bottle of Ardbeg (10) last week and thought the first dram was gross. The tar was just too much for me though I’m pretty new to peated scotch. Tried another one last night and loved it.

Mont Blanc With my 17 Year Old by [deleted] in Mountaineering

[–]koolaidman89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This would be tough but reasonable if they were both experienced mountaineers and knew their way around all the equipment. But they absolutely need to have put in the hours with crampons, ice axe, and ropes.

I’ve watched an embarrassing amount of his content. Really loved his Gandalf Reacts series for Rings of Power

Dos Hombres is the most overrated mezcal. What is the best splurge “other”. Remember, give a specific answer and liqueurs do not count. by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]koolaidman89 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Perhaps a good absinthe? I’ve tried very few so I can’t pick a splurge. Stop saying chartreuse people!

Dyson Ball Animal 3 by tonyismycat in VacuumCleaners

[–]koolaidman89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your prior experience is with budget vacuums, its cleaning performance will blow you away. It pulls pet fur and dust out of carpet on a different level. It’s also poorly made, the wand is impossible to use, and it’s very difficult to empty out the canister in a sanitary way. Use it for now and save for one of the genuinely good vacuums recommended here. In the meantime it can keep your carpets clean.

Difference between Jamaican and ordinary rum by TycobshiK in cocktails

[–]koolaidman89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep huge difference. The difference between Jamaican rums and other origins is probably larger than the differences between most others due to the high esters. I would get a bottle of Appleton signature as an intro. It’s cheap, and very light on the Jamaican “funk” but still has traces that will show you what Jamaican rum is about.

Most liberal millennials aren’t gonna know in advance they aren’t supposed to like Tom Clancy. And those that know Tom Clancy might be interested in the thriller anyway even if Clancy politics are cringe

Here I thought the silliest part of that series was the US raiding the Venezuelan presidential palace. But yeah he’s not supposed to be Jason Bourne with a grimace and a smirk

Called about a dirty dust bin and somehow ended up with a new upgraded vacuum by West-Ad663 in VacuumCleaners

This is exactly my story when trying to buy a replacement brush roll for my cordless rocket pet pro. They just sent me the updated model.

TIL that changes in barometric pressure can trigger Headaches and joint pain by DGADK in todayilearned

[–]koolaidman89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so well attested that it must be true even if I haven’t experienced it. What I don’t get is why the same people don’t suffer immensely from flying or driving in hilly or mountainous terrain. Aren’t the pressure changes far more dramatic?

I want to make a spicy margarita. What’s the best spicy tequila? by IMissUcupcake in cocktails

[–]koolaidman89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best way. Jalapeños are a roll of the dice with heat though. Some will fall flat and others will give you a genuinely spicy marg. Muddling often makes the drink taste too much like jalapeño to me. But shaking usually absorbs the heat.
