There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.

Congrats! One you get into the water habit, soda and everything else just becomes repulsive.

To complement your cold water, I highly highly recommend trying out some True Lime packets (or the True Lemon, which is excellent as well). It's cold crystallized lime wedges, put into a packet, no artificial sweeteners or coloring or anything, just a convenient wedge of citrus in a packet. Phenomenal stuff--I buy the 500 count and it lasts me ages and ages

Thanks dude, I'll give it a shot! *chugs bud light*

Can you provide a link to this? I cannot tell the model number or anything from your picture. I am looking for a new blender but do not want to spend $500 on one. I need something decent that can handle ice and frozen fruit mostly (smoothies) but also might use it for other things. I don't need to be able to blend 3 iPhones at once.

It was/is the cheapest way to do a super small run of an album. Plus hipster cred. I actually wouldn't be surprised if it has gotten more expensive since it got cool and is no longer the cheapest way.

It's the Oster Versa 1400 watt. This is the "tall jar" or whatever version, I'd recommend getting the compact jar if they are the same price since it's pretty tall when put together (the motor on those high powered blenders are huge). But hey for 100$ instead of the usual 240 which was the previous lowest I had seen it in Canada I'm ok with the tall version!

The thing is powerful as f... Having a blast making ice cream and frozen yogurt. Obviously ideal for smoothies. Seriously I can't recommend it enough! The only thing I can't know is how long it will last, but it has a 7 years warranty and even cheap blender seem to be impossible to kill so I'm hopeful.

But wait there's more! the thing clean itself! You just half-fill it with hot water and a few drops of soap and then let it run on high for 30 seconds and it will come out clean even if you just made peanut butter in it. This is an awesome feature since cleaning blender sucks

Seriously never thought I'd be excited about a blender

Nope, it's just crystallized lime wedges. No flavoring.

they never went anywhere, it's cheaper for a small artist to do tapes than vinyl runs. plus the good thing is they don't actually sound any different than cds and don't damage as easily.

Cassettes are coming back because it's cheap, nostalgic, and fun to hunt around for them in thrift stores and such. Who cares?

Guarantee in like 5-10 years, people will get super nostalgic for CDs, along with emo music, Paris Hilton, and everything else we forgot about from the 00s.

Is it a powder or is it shaped like a lime wedge? If it's a powder it's basically natural lime flavour right? Like they dry limes and powder them basically? Still cool, but I can see how people expected like an actual lime wedge upon first reading "crystallized lime wedges" and not natural flavour packets

From the description, it's cold-pressed citrus juice and oil which has been crystallized, with each packet being equivalent to a wedge.
