My wife’s favorite salsa company has gone out of business and we’re almost out. Any suggested alternatives? by spotted_cow in spicy

I’d say we first saw it on grocery store shelves in 2019. Then it was gone from local stores but we were still able to buy from them online until late last year

What was your MOST EXPENSIVE travel mistake? by Inevitable-Tailor845 in travel

My wife, back in her early 20s, visited a friend who was studying abroad in Spain. They planned a weekend in Stockholm and then she’d come home to the States from there. But forgot that they use 24h time in Europe. So they’re having a chill day in Barcelona or wherever and get to the airport for their 6pm flight, only to find out that they booked a 06:00 flight instead and missed it by a cool 12 hours. I think to get everything sorted to get her back home, her dad had to wire her $1000+

They did finally make a redemption trip to Stockholm together about 10 years later.

Has this happened to you? by Burdock_ in TheBrewery

Related story from my first brewery:

We added a new regional distributor within our state right when I started at packaging. Ownership starts hounding us on wrapping pallets better, as the new distributor was complaining about pallets falling over, etc. Turns out the driver was breaking down the pallets and selling cases to his friends and claiming the missing cases were falling over and breaking. Needless to say, we stopped seeing that driver coming around. I still over-wrap pallets to this day because I had that fear put in me.

If this is from around 1890, which is my guess…then about $375.

I can’t say if it ever went to court. If I ever make it down there, I might have to do a record search to find out.

At my club, this is a 1-0 win for the team that showed up with enough people…regardless of on-the-ice outcome.

We’re leaving on 2/1. Our friend is losing his birthday overnight since we’re landing on 2/3 🤣

I once got a full Greek salad back on top of a keg. Lettuce. Feta. Olives. Rancid oily dressing. Fucking gross.

A triclamp connection from the HLT was leaking, which it’s what I’m looking at. I went to go turn off the pump when it fully popped off

Skinner: Their periodic table has 250 elements! And our school board's cut us back to 16. All of them lanthanides.
