Some huge portion of dui convictions are normal people who had a beer at dinner and drove home and didn’t come to a complete stop at a stop sign. They plead down to a day in jail and huge fines. The other portion are shotgunning handles of vodka while swerving all over the place. Zero tolerance laws are a money making scheme and nothing more.

Unless you weigh like 80 pounds you're still legally allowed to drive after a single beer, if you're getting pulled over after that alcohol either affects you differently or you were a terrible driver in the first place.

So much so that we find it better to just stop at the Greek place across the street and get 8oz of fresh delicious hummus for 6.50, which is like 2 bucks more than the store, but infinitely more delicious.

Hummus is trivially easy to make if you have a food processor. I’ve made it completely drunk off several gin and tonics (not behind the wheel, settle down goons) AND even made the tahini myself. depending on your political inclinations you might not wanna be buying Sabra specifically These Days

Even if you buy from the official name brand storefront on Amazon, the genuine inventory is commingled with the counterfeit inventory unless the name brand storefront pays extra for segregated inventory. Either buy BRTHORNW Electric Toothrbrush Oral B Replacement For Men Women Children Best Teeth Cleaning for cheap and expect them to be total poo poo or pay MSRP at a real retailer to get the real ones.

I bought some "Aoremon" brand Sonicare replacement heads off of ebay for like 1/10th the price of name brand, and they're about as good.

I wonder: The rampant use and abuse of AI, based on the myth that it's good at anything at all, is going to make the world worse, and is already doing so. But: Since you can now vomit out crap like "Sense and Sensibility and Zombies" with the same effort as dialing a phone number, the market will be overwhelmingly flooded with such garbage (even more than now), effectively ruining mashup literature forever. Let's look on the bright side. The average Redditor may eventually learn to no longer shout "shut up and take my money" at the random collision of two things they like, such as "Goku" and "meets the Ghostbusters" or "Marvel versus Capcom versus Moby Dick." They'll even tire of mashing their keyboard to generate "Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Barrow-Downs" themselves. First, no one will pay for such garbage, and later, no one will even bother to make it. Sure, literature will die, along with all art*, but look at what will be taken with it! *not really, good things will still exist, they'll just be even harder to find, or more effectively located in the past. Like they always are.

Canine Blues Arooo posted:My hot take is that maybe drunk driving should be treated more harshly by the courts. Having a 4th time offender show up in court and get a 6th month probation is not the way. Serious. I went to high school with a kid who totaled, no poo poo, 5 SUVs in 3 years while driving drunk, but having a rich daddy meant the consequences were basically nonexistent.

If you're anywhere near competent in the kitchen, it's probably worthwhile to make your own. My wife makes some amazing hummus. We haven't bought any in years. Hell, you don't even have to be that good if you can find a good recipe to follow. I'm a terrible cook, but when I taught kindergarten, my class of 5- and 6-year-olds and I made some for an international theme month and everyone, including the office staff, raved about how good it was. Honestly, between rising prices and shrinkflation, we've started making a lot more stuff that we used to just buy, and doing so has been a part of our lives that has significantly improved over the past few years. Ever have homemade pasta sauce? Bacon? Pizza? Condiments? Tofu? They're really good!

deep dish peat moss posted:I looked this up because I was curious and according to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK217463/ as usual, half right  I remember learning that tidbit because I took some online drinking quiz (when I did drink) and although I didn't drink every night, I averaged like 4 drinks a night from weekend benders. At the time I socialized exclusively with salespeople and bartenders, so it seemed bizarre that not everyone was drinking their face off on the weekend. heh a drinking related enshittification - I grew up in Sonoma County California, which was emphatically not  Wine Country when I was growing up. The change happened and vineyards replaced cow pastures, but it didnt click until I went back to visit maybe ten years ago  and there were shiiiiiiiiiiiiitloads of drunk people everywhere In the grocery store, at any restaurant, driving around, everywhere. Like trying to live in a very low key frat party. Hammered boomers in a rented RV parked at CVS at 4 in the afternoon. Everyone trying to live their best Sideways life in a retail mall. Also ofc wine is sold literally everywhere, although its a bit of a   that you can randomly find Iron Horse sparkling wine (because its not from France ) or Korbel for like six bucks at an Arco.

When I was dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and some really tumultuous times with my family, I was getting blasted a minimum of 5 nights a week for years. I don't drink anymore, but I strongly suspect that a significant portion of those heavy drinkers are self-medicating. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying alcoholism is excusable as long as it's because you're sad, but I'm willing to bet a lot of these 4+ alcoholic beverages/night people aren't getting wasted at parties or out with friends or even enjoying themselves. e: Atopian posted:As I have produced adequate but underwhelming hummus in the past: please share your / her recipe. She's asleep now, but I'll ask in the morning. In the meantime, let me see if I can find the Omani hummus recipe we used in my kindergarten class. I think I still have it on an old phone.

My parents, grandparents, friends, friends parents - everyone got hosed up on the weekends. In retrospect I was massively self-selecting for people who loved to drink. re: self medication - it worked for me until it didn't. Even booze got enshittified
