I've never liked milk very much growing up but boy was it ever a thing we always drank. Now that I'm a real-deal adult and have found plain, unsweetened soymilk everything is great. Ingredients are these two: soybeans, water.
It's also quite difficult to find easily, usually it will be sweetened or at least vanilla flavor and goddammit I don't need that extra garbage :argh:

Real cheese is great though and far better than any alternatives.

I'm not a big fan of milk either these days. I do like creamer in my coffee though. Agree that cheese rules though. Few things as good as fresh grated parmesian.

I have vitiligo and my body attacks my melanocytes, I started to feel the burn forming on my exposed face and hands after driving with the convertible top down for 30 minutes. In February

I catch fire in the sun regardless of location, so it might as well be a beautiful location that I get burned in

I've never understood the hate.

With proper clothes and water, the heat will never hurt you. With proper clothes in cold it's still a matter of time before you die.

Then again, to me Guam had the most perfect weather in the world. 70-90 year round, 85-100% humidity, half the year it rains every day around noon, half the year it rains every 2 days at random. It's always perfect. It's like May in Florida 12 months a year.

"Oh no, the sun!" - me in Florida in July as I drink lots of water and un-sweet iced tea as I do cool yard work in the heat, maybe go to the beach and take whatever giant, wide, clear and smooth stretches of tarmac since everything around me is built for 3x the population but all the snowbirds are up north for the summer.

"what is the point of existing i wish i were dead" - me under 2 feet of snow on any January day in Muskegon where it is cold and dark when you wake up in the morning and it is the same cold and dark when you leave work and that night you get another 2 feet of snow because lol lake effect.

I'm just one dude but there is zero contest between the two are you kidding me.

I'm with you. I'll take the Texas summer heat over cold any day. I don't like the "cold" that Texas gets, even.
Not sure I could live with coastal humidity again, though. I lived with that through middle school (30 miles from the Gulf Coast in Victoria, TX for 4 years) and remember it well, and I'm old now. Dallas/Fort Worth is bad enough some days.

Looks like a pretty nice V8 Vega. No AC makes it a deal killer in my neck of the woods, for me, anyway (see above), but that may not be a concern for the goon asking. Manual brakes are probably a bit scary, too, but may not be with a car that light. Love that it's a 4-speed.

Raisin Bran is good. (I hate raisins in general: Like Alton Brown says, raisins are always optional, but for some reason it works in the cereal)

Total is pretty okay. I like it.

Cracklin' Oat Bran is loving amazing.

Crispix is my jam. Favorite go-to cereal. Kix is right next door.


This was your sponsored-by-Kellogg (are they GM or Kellogg or nabisco? I don't know I only know the boxes) post.

You have good taste.
I liked those as a kid, the ones that were available back then, and now the super--sugary stuff just makes me sick. I miss Cocoa Puffs and Corn Pops and Sugar Pops and Honey Crisp, but I just can't eat them any more (and shouldn't.) I'll still tear up some Peanut Butter Captain Crunch, though. Probably just as much sugar, but doesn't taste like it, because peanut butter.
I also like the various Chex products, and the Mini Shredded Wheats with the fruit in them.
Oh, holy gently caress the ad at the top as I type this is for Raisin Bran, I poo poo you not.

That's amazing.

Re: heat, I can stand it when it's 100 degrees in July and August, although I leave my back door open for my dogs all day and my AC is super old so my electric bill is insane, but come September it starts driving me crazy, and then October is usually hot right up until the end of the month. It is a dry heat at least, but it makes doing anything outside miserable for months of the year.

The upside is I can ride a motorcycle 12 months of the year, and most of my gear is ventilated. An adidas jacket until my bike jacket and a neck gaitor are pretty much all I need, though my hands can get cold.

That's the part with being properly clothed and seeking correct shelter (not enclosed, literally just shade) when needed, as well as moderating activity.

The cold will quite literally kill you even if you do everything right simply by being in it.

Also cold to me is anything under 70. I'm miserable all winter even in FL. I'm also the weirdo who wears jeans year round, even in the heat of summer.

Here's my hotter than hell story:

I was working in a mill as a grader so I was sitting on a platform about 8 feet off the floor and watching particle board sheets go under me on a conveyor belt. It was high summer and the temp where I was hit about 126F. Seriously. 1 loving 26. As I was sitting there in a lump of overheated misery, this girl that worked there sneaked up behind me and poured a hardhat full of cold water from the water cooler on my back. The shock was intense and felt more like fire than cold water. It literally hurt like a bad sunburn for 5 minutes or so.

I got my revenge, though. I got a five gallon bucket and filled it and kept it on the gradestand for a couple days. When the time came, she was standing below and behind me with the foreman checking paint color. I caught the foreman's eye and motioned for him to step back. He grinned and moved away while I dumped the bucket on her. She looked up and yelled "THAT WASN'T COLD!"

I yelled back "THAT WASN'T WATER!"

I'm from the Canadian chunk of the PNW so the hottest we get up here on the regular during summer is in the upper 70s to low 80s F (around 27-29 C) and the hottest irregularly is maaaaybe low 90s F (low-mid 30s C) if the local deity decides it's going to ruin us one summer. The worst heat I have ever experienced was stepping out of McCarran International Airport in late June during a heat wave and being confronted by a literal wall of 119 F (48 C) heat.

I'll pass on doing that again anytime soon.
