I work with a guy who won't shut up about tiny houses. He also thinks his daughter being a little chunky is the result of a gluten allergy.

my wife and i and two cats have lived in a 37 foot motorhome for 18 months.

tinyhousers are tremendous idiots.

no proper mobile/RV park is going to take tiny houses (they have strict no-DIY rules). You can't park it on the street as it sticks out too much. The one legislative loophole that they abuse ("It's on wheels so it's a trailer!") means that any city worth living in will have laws they can use to ban you from sleeping in it. Most are built using heavy and unstable 'fixed' construction practices like stud walls. they're just loving terrible in every single way . and theyre tens of thousands of dollars lol

Seems like IPA is losing popularity thank god. Not that I don't like one every now and then, but they mostly all taste the same and we don't need ten million of them.

Mass produced swill beer is good if you know you are going to a long BBQ or camping or something. Not Bud though. I'd drink budget beer over that poo poo. It always tastes like it's gone bad.

I like IPAs, even strong IPAs. However, a lot of IPAs are terrible and taste like eating hops. A good IPA should fairly complex and flavorful, not drinking pinesol. I personally find IPAs work best with spicy food (as do pilsners).
However, variety is important. I feel like IPAs are what people who don't know anything about beer order to try to look like they know about beer. They look at the beer list, see one one that says IPA and orders that.
Sours are loving awesome, but often holy poo poo expensive even on a beer snob budget.

Right now the Hipster Artisinal Chocolate movement or whatever is falling to pieces because it turns out one of the main chocolate companies used Hershey's Chocolate and Nestle and fooled a bunch of people into paying 10 dollars for a chocolate bar. Because they claimed it went directly from cocoa bean to chocolate bar and they had EXPERTS, LIKE CHOCOLATE AMAZON RAIN FOREST EXPERTS WITH DEGREES IN THE SECRETS OF CHOCOLATE.


They made a big deal about the chocolate's head spinning fragrance and all it was was Hershey Chocolate mixed with Nestle Chocolate and people thought it was TRUE 100% THE WAY CHOCOLATE IS SUPPOSED TO TASTE. And all those foodies or whatever didn't know poo poo. It didn't taste bad by any means but apparently whole foods is going to pull their products. Using stuff like Chili peppers to mask the chocolate taste was also a technique they used in order for people to believe that they were experiencing 100% true Flavortown.

Some lady was mad that she couldn't detect the taste and she even spent a few weekends at an unrelated place getting a certificate to say she's a Pro Food taster and can detect hints of subtle flavors.

From what I read it was only people who weren't already part of that whole "bean to bar" movement that were fooled. It's still hilariously stupid though since the foodie people that knew what to look for could tell they weren't really doing what they were claiming because it was too smooth and tasty to be bean to bar.

So instead it's people who are intentionally paying $10 for chocolate with gritty mouthfeel and shittier taste than normal brand chocolate.

I liked the reddit thread on a techie girl in Vancouver who did the small house thing.

Her solution cost 40k in addition the mobile home lot rental is $800 a month.

The location was great with sewage plant on side and railway on the other side of the lot.

I agree. While they looked like colossal shitheads they were actually just fooling stuckup snobs who were even bigger shitheads then they were into wasting money. Bravo.

Too bad they're probably going to end up in a lot of lawsuits at some point.

Yeah, all you have to do is put the word "artisanal" on something, bump up the price, and some douche will buy it and then talk about how fantastic it is to other douches and there ya go.
