Edit: Oh yeah, went and test drove that cheap Yaris today. The exhaust was incredibly loud and it had a CEL but the deal breaker was it being a smokers car. There was ash in every crevice and a dozen burn holes in each seat.

That's the worst. My car didn't smell too bad but there's like four burn marks by the A pillar, and then some more by the sunroof from when the window rollers stopped working.

I don't want to go down this road too far, but up in the bike thread we have people in winnipeg riding year round, so.
Minneapolis also has a huge number of year round bike commuters. Takes a dash of htfu though.

My main rationale for not biking in the winter is that I already have a car that's slowly decaying into a pile of rust, why would I want that to happen to my bike too?

Sadly, it looks like the bathroom thread has run its course. Driven into the ground by the OP's stereotypical goony and unrecognized sexism, and another goon being a goon.

It was fun while it lasted. :toot:

Yeah I'm kinda mad at that. I blame the GBS and DnD idiots for melting down at OP's sexism, instead of letting it ride and seeing how far the rabbit hole went.

I never understood why you losing weight always offends others.

Jealousy. Unhealthy people don't like seeing similar people escape.

If you get an invitation with just your name written on it and not "Person and Guest" Its extremely a dick move to take it upon yourself to add someone to your invitation.

That's not going to stop an extreme dick though, but It does seem kind of tacky to me to specify no plus ones. Its kind of a risk you have to assume.

Also if you do online RSVPs then you can set it up so they can only invite themselves.

nah dude he's been busy loving actual funding to nasa because libertarians think that space poo poo should be a private venture at this point in humanity's existence

While agree that NASA is important and way better than private spaceflight, I doubt the investors in Musk's poo poo would funnel that money to NASA regardless.

Herbal tea called "Throat Coat" (stop snickering) works wonders. Whiskey only helps me get phlegm outta my throat, but Throat Coat does a great job. It's like a licorice/anise tea, really works.

Agreed

Traditional Medicinals organic throat coat. Terrible name, hippy company, works wonders.

As an aside, I'm really thankful that I'm not addicted to meth. :ohdear:

Lagers are in fact getting big. Partially because they're delicious and partially because the hops market is totally unable to meet demand, resulting in hugely inflated prices.

Kolsch is also big these days -- in the store we've been unable to get the Kolsch yeast from one of the major yeast companies for like 2 months, until today. Presumably their commercial demand was so high there was none available for the homebrew scale.

Its pretty hosed up how the hops market developed. Nearly all of the crop for the sexy new varieties are under contract for large brewers or distributors, and a lot of the brewers that have contracts get more than they need so they then sell them to other brewers, further inflating prices. The distributors do this too.

It's a tradeoff, alcohol supposedly reduces restful sleep.

After several years of experimental trials I can say that this is absolutely true. Nothing supposed about it.

Why would it raise red flags? Its a rental property, they like weird stuff. I'm not allowed to work in the car with the garage door open either, is that a deal breaker as well?

Is it time to argue about HOAs again? Because that's unironically my favorite argument.
