Polar's Strawberry Watermelon and Blackberry Mango are my non-store brand jams. I really like Safeway's Yuzu Citrus since I like grapfruity sodas and it reminds me of it and Target's Strawberry Mango.

Pain of Mind posted:I cannot think of any situation where anyone cared whether someone drank alcohol or not post-college. Cans are convenient though, they are much more recyclable than plastic containers and they are nice for quickly grabbing something. I do not even like sparkling water much but I would always drink (free) La Croix at work because it was so easy to grab a can and run into a meeting. I would not pay money for it though. I think it’s less caring about what people think of you and more “I have been used to a certain handful of rituals in this particular setting and now it feels weird”. The NA beer boom has probably supplanted a lot of that now but they got in early and created what seems to be a pretty hardcore following.

The NA beer boom has probably supplanted a lot of that now but they got in early and created what seems to be a pretty hardcore following. The problem is that NA beer costs as much as regular beer. So for me, just putting something in my hand I can crush all day while doing chores or cooking, or even just while playing video games is nice. NA scratches the itch in social situations or post-bike or -run, but it’s pointless to drink more than one or two. I mean it’s kinda pointless to drink any but the hops and the fizz complete the ritual after pouring into a decent glass and stuff. But seltzers filled a gigantic drink void for sure. I’m a thirsty man.

I’m at a point now where I’m only having one or two drinks in social situations so it doesn’t really matter to me either way. I also try to limit myself to one seltzer (Rambler supremacy, one of the few good things to come out of Texas) because I want to keep all my teefs

Polar Black Cherry's my go-to, but I'll get Waterloo or La Croix whenever they're on sale at the store. Bubly will do in a pinch, but I'm not really a fan.Intruder posted:it doesn't cost as much as regular beer Yeah, it's dumb. If flavor isn't an issue, you can get like a 24pk of cheap rear end beer for the same price as a 6pk of some NA beer

I mean I pretty exclusively drank 6-7% pales/IPAs, high grav Belgians and sours so they’re pretty much on par with a sixer of Hi-5 or Torpedo and cheaper than Trappist whatevers. But yeah, if I’d been able to just have a drink or two I wouldn’t be buying NA in the first place. As it is I’m 18mo into recovery from a long term alcohol use disorder and while I don’t crave beer the way I did the first few weeks, I do find holes in my schedule for the ritual. La Croix and Topo have been a loving godsend and I’m supremely hydrated to boot.

Far more. Sad for my Bucks, but once Giannis went out that fate was sealed. So hoping the Avs do some damage again this year. Also the Brewers looking surprisingly good early, should last until the first starter gets hurt.

So are the leafs like the Yankees of the NHL? I’ve caught their last two games. Just need to know who not to root for. I found myself rooting against the Bruins hard. I know it’s the playoffs but the action is unrelenting. I love it. We’ve got the Hurricanes in Raleigh that are relatively close by, so I could even settle into a regional fandom.

Ohhhh okay, yeah that makes sense. It's hard to step into a new sport and try to sort out like 100 years of history and failure. Just trying to get a sense of it--who's good, who's interesting, who are the villains. Outside of playing a poo poo ton of hockey on console over the years when I was younger, I haven't gotten a ton of NHL exposure.

The Leafs are basically the Chicago Cubs without 2016. They're vital to the history of the sport and yet haven't won a Stanley Cup since the league expanded from 6 teams

The Leafs sorta a cross between the Cubs and the Dallas Cowboys, the latter being that the hockey media (Particularly in Canada) loves the gently caress out of them and assumes everyone else does (They don’t), and they haven’t won a Stanley Cup since 1967, the last year of the Original Six era, or even been back since. Everyone enjoys watching them lose, and the only reason that isn’t universal at this moment/series is they’re playing Boston, and ‘gently caress Boston’ is powerful in any sport.a neat cape posted:Canada cannot be allowed to get close to a cup.  I bought a “We Want Florida” shirt last year, cause everything about it was great, and in the ensuing months, it’s been a great way to make Canadian snowbirds out themselves in random stores and poo poo. A whole lot of them have a visceral reaction to it, but at the same time, what would you expect to see at the Target literally across the street from where the Panthers play?

Definitely root for the Canes, they're the only good pro sports team in the Carolinas, but you wouldn't know it because no one around here gives a poo poo about hockey. Like, I didn't even know the Canes existed until the day after they won the Cup in '06 and someone at work mentioned it to me. My immediate reaction was "wait, there's a NHL team around here?!"

The tiktok lady who shared a couple of months ago her ridiculous car payments gave an update...quote:In a recent TikTok and in an interview with The Daily Mail, Arnold revealed that she got rid of the Tahoe. The reason? The $84,000 Tahoe’s ridiculous loan terms. It amazes me how many rubes there are that go out of their way to trust software with their lives and well being for no good reason. Anyone who has ever worked in development knows better - at least I hope. Relatedly the NHSTA's investigation into the Tesla and FSD revealed unsurprising conclusions. A system where the driver is in theory required to pay attention, but in practice allows them not to, frequently leads to highspeed crashes where the FSD has disengaged itself and the driver is not paying attention. quote:In 59 crashes examined by NHTSA, the agency found that Tesla drivers had enough time, “five or more seconds,” prior to crashing into another object in which to react. In 19 of those crashes, the hazard was visible for 10 or more seconds before the collision. Reviewing crash logs and data provided by Tesla, NHTSA found that drivers failed to brake or steer to avoid the hazard in a majority of the crashes analyzed. No poo poo.
