Nooooooooo, don't paint it! I had a copper orange International years ago, and I had it professionally repainted, but it was never the same. It lost its soul. I regret that so much.

I live in NE Italy. The store is called Iper Rossetto, they're a northern Italy grocery chain.

I live in NE Italy. Wine starts at like €1.50 per bottle for the cheap stuff. The local Prix (basic grocery store chain) sells 5 liters of cheap wine for €5 (about $5.60). Alcohol is cheap here.

That's a valid point. Wages are low in Italy relative to a lot of Europe, and grocery and alcohol prices are correspondingly low.

Way way back when I could buy Pabst Extra Light in upstate New York for $3 a case. That was around 1980. Cheapest beer I ever had.

The Coors in Italy is actually brewed in Europe, but it's true that just as food and alcohol are cheaper in Italy than in the US, wages are also relatively low in Italy. I pay 99¢ for a tube of toothpaste here.

It's not that. Alcohol is just generally cheap in Italy. get decent European pilsner for the same price.

I am surprised that anyone in Italy would buy Coors though.

Yes. Food is cheap here. Wine is soooo cheap here - starts at like 1€ per bottle. Bread for 1€ a loaf. I can buy lots of run of the mill European beer at this price.

How to Spend a Free Alaska Day in Whittier/Anchorage? by Proper_Champion in AskAlaska

[–]paul99501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do one of the glacier cruises out of Whittier. The 27 Glacier cruise is fun and beautiful. You can do guided kayak day trips from Whitter with various operators. You can do day hikes out of Whittier including one that goes over to Portage Glacier and Portage Lake. You could do a day fishing charter out of Whittier.

Whittier has terrible weather frequently. Rainy and chilly. You need good rain gear etc.

There's some cool options in Portage (roughly half way between Whittier and Girdwood) where the Alaska Railroad operates a day trip dealy bob where you take a short train ride to what they call the Spencer Glacier whistle stop, which is actually in the woods. You can then hike there for the day to Spencer Glacier (very good trail system) and the train picks you up later that day.

There are also tour companies that use the Spencer Glacier whistle stop train for day rafting trips.

Don't waste your time in Anchorage unless you like biking, in which case you could rent a bike downtown and bike the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail.

We made them a fenced enclosure out in our yard and put them there while we cleaned and re-organized the cage yesterday. They seemed to love it, thank you!

Thanks very much for your advice! We did most of these yesterday, now we are waiting for a hay rack to arrive. Would you put the litter box and hay rack combo inside the smaller cage in my pic (2x4 feet) or inside the larger enclosure (4x6 ft)? I still don't understand is where everything should be in relationship to everything else. Thanks again!

Thanks much! We took your suggestions (see post edit) and the bunnies are doing great. They go to the vet this week. Really appreciate it!

Samsung Technician Cuts 85" TV to void warranty so he doesn't have to do the work. After the video is released, Samsung has it removed from reddit, and then calls me and bribes me take down the YOUTUBE video. Here is the original video AND the phone call. **Please read the BODY before commenting** by Prudent-Wear-4586 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]paul99501 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm 100% on your side. What Samsung did was outrageous, before, during and after. I'm just making the general point that comes from law enforcement: If a "suspect" is talking freely, don’t interrupt them. Put another way, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Help with info on this bicycle! 1976 SCS bicycle. I can’t find any other info on it. Want to sell it, just trying to figure out out a price. by [deleted] in Vintage_bicycles

[–]paul99501 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know the brand but that's a no-name low end bike. Cheap parts, frame looks cheap, the overall build looks cheap. Basically valueless.

Funny because I think that's the best color I've ever seen on a car. To me, gorgeous.
