Does Jello still use real gelatin at this point? I'd have to check the packaging, I assumed they went to agar a while ago.

88h88 posted:As someone who used to work for Halfords many moons ago, some of the Apollo range are actually fairly decent bikes. Back when I was there, the Apollo Gradient was a drat fine bike for the money, fully rigid, weirdo looking frame but the parts that hung off it were actually solid, worked well and didn't need to be adjusted every other week unlike some other bikes. I only have hate for Apollo bikes because I had one when I was 12 and within a month part of the frame just chipped off and I had to wait three months until my dad brought me another. But good post dude and the bike is actually not bad, I hadn't accounted for how hilly the route would be and it holds up well. Plus there's no better feeling than riding past all work colleges while their stuck in traffic and it's much nicer to spend half of my way home riding through the common than being annoyed by traffic.

My ENT told me that jello was fine but slightly more solid foods were better because they 'cleaned' the tissue and the chewing would help with the pain. Also don't make the same mistake I did on the first day you feel relatively okay, and try and eat a jalapeno pizza. Content, I finally bought a new phone. A second hand galaxy S6, pretty much unused for £200.

My grandpa has had eleven of them in his life and they all were apparently running great when he sold them after about 450K miles. This one runs and drives like a new car and it has 217K on it, but as long as I'm not a shithead with maintenance it should still be going a damned long time from now. Diesels are pretty tough and the thing is built like a tank... as far as BMWs, they're supposed to be some of the easiest cars for home maintenance and also said to run a good long time without a massive money sink-- the old VW Bugs are great for someone learning how to do mechanic stuff and are pretty unfuckable.

I got a new (refurb) XPS 13. Just the base i3. I traded in my old XPS and a dying old Inspiron, and got this one for free. The screen looks great, keyboard is nice, and the trackpad is an upgrade from the old XPS.

Awesome. My best friend's parents had one of these when we were growing up. The odometer died at 261k, and it was daily driven for the next 11 loving YEARS with almost no maintenance. The car ran for its last 4 years or so with no turbo...don't even know how little hp it made at that point, but if we ever came to a steep hill the passengers all had to get out and walk. I miss the poo poo out of that car.

Oh yeah, tootling past people while they're stuck in traffic is wonderful but also part of the reason why most people loving hate cyclists so be careful some vindictive bellend doesn't pull something stupid on you. colas posted:Are 80's BMW/Mercs money pits or? I mean if you're not a mechanic or DIY'er. Aside from the usual rear arch rust and general lack of maintenance from previous owners they're solid as hell. Also glacially slow (diesel especially so) but they'll definitely get you to where you need to go, just not in any sort of hurry. I think it was the model after this (190?) that Mercedes themselves admitted they'd overbuilt it and hosed themselves out of sales of new cars because the 190s were lasting so well.

The XPS line has a completely different design focus change since 2006. Probably more than one, Dell never seems to stick with a plan for the line for more than a few years. They're meant to be Windows Macbooks now, instead of bulkier high performance focus they used to have. Though like the Macbook Pros the XPS15 can have a 960M and quad core i7, so still plenty powerful for a laptop.

I stopped being a weenie and finally scheduled a procedure to get LASIK here next Thursday. Their website looks terrible but they're the best in this part of the country. I had my consultation this past Monday and was told that I was a good candidate for the surgery, and also found out that the prescription I've had for glasses and contacts is about two whole points weaker than what I really need so I've actually been seeing like poo poo for a long time and had no idea

I got fixed about 4 years ago and was recently looking through old photos and forgot that I had glasses for like 20 years. I didn't really mind wearing them for day to day use, it was just annoying with sports really, but I'm glad I spent all that money to get rid of them. What I purchased yesterday was about $8k for the remaining balance on the venue/catering for my wedding Saturday, and the $900 left for the shuttle company to get the guests there. Goodbye money, I hardly knew ye. I guess gone are the days when grooms actually received goats and poo poo for marrying a lady.

HaB posted:Ordered, but not yet actually signed the purchase paperwork: I have almost this exact same car and it's pretty alright. Ours is the base model though, so don't know if that changes too much besides interior and uglier wheels. The ride is pretty nice and it's big enough for our big ol dog. In any case, considering how gutless it is, it's a major gas hog. We struggle to average over 18 or 19 mpg in the city and can maaaaaybe top out around 27mpg on the highway. I'm told the automatic gets drastically better fuel economy, like 8-10mpg better, but the girlfriend really really wanted to keep driving a manual. I think she feels it's less of a grocery getter if she can bang gears on her way to work.
