Shamefully I only get sick and tired from beer.

Kossu tastes good though and it works and is kinda cheap so eh.

I can totally get wasted from beer so that's not a problem, but admittedly just drinking Kossu or something would probably be easier. Then again I don't get drunk that often because I'm a poor university student.

Also I end up drinking Kossu straight from the bottle in huge chugs once I'm drunk enough and that's a good way to get a really nasty hangover so maybe it's best I stick to beer. :shrug: I'm a shameful Finn, I know


Lifehack: be too poor to buy alcohol in any noticeable quantity, avoid becoming an alcoholic

Lucky bastard. My local library got all squeamish about accepting a donation of yaoi manga.

Yaoi manga is a god-given right to all young girls who want their sexuality really messed up for a while.

Life hack: actual large sturdy stackable moving crates cost about 20 cents a piece to rent for a day and will make everyone involved in the move a lot happier if you use them instead of random cardboard boxes :prepop:

I spend weeks packing before the move and weeks unpacking after the move and I sure as gently caress don't want to pay plastic box rental fees when I can get free sturdy boxes from grocery/liquor stores.

Start drinking early in the day so you've got more time to be drunk.

Those are the same landlords will attempt to withhold the deposit for no reason at all.

Lifehack: if they try to wrongly withhold your deposit and don’t give you an itemized list within thirty days, take them to court for treble damages in many states.

Milk crates motherfucker.

I've never seen them used to carry milk, I don't know where someone is supposed to get them, but drat if they weren't half of my furniture in college.

A guy in my dorm had a couch made from beer crates. Drink beer, put bottles back in, walla!

Cartons of milk are commonly shipped in crates, but not every dairy still produces milk cartons.

Technically speaking the stores and whoever were supposed to send them back but no milk company ever complained if some shipments just happened to come up one or two short. I saw them a lot in the restaurant world as we didn't buy gallon milk but got stacks of crates with huge bags of milk that went into the milk machine. You'd have a milk crate with a bag of milk in it, wrangle the bag in, then cut the tube open after you had the lever thingy set to pinch it closed. I think milk businesses also just leave piles of them out back by the dumpsters when they're too worn to use properly and don't really give a poo poo if people come take them. Depends on where you live but yeah...they're basically everywhere just because they're so drat useful.

What I don't get is no one makes a good consumer version. There's milk crate-esqe kida storage things but they're never the same. They'e weaker or square or just somehow inferior than a regular milk crate.

I suppose there's always http://www.milkcratesdirect.com
