I think it's fine, but I drink more as an anti-anxiety medication or social obligation than for enjoyment. I'll drink my :scrooge: Sobieski vodka straight from the (plastic) bottle at room temperature NFG with no :gag: reaction. Like an alcoholic but a lot less frequency/volume. :thisisfine: Sobies...

Aldi had good coffee last year (or at least they did in NY) but they don't have anything good here now, which is :sad: since I would like to make up a bunch of cold brew. Aldi changes products frequently, which makes me :| because if I like something a lot, I know I won't be able to get it again. I...

Hmm, I just looked up costco and it's a 30 minute drive up into Florida Man territory, definitely not gonna happen. Aldi is 1.5 miles. Generally if I can't buy it at Aldi or Walmart (quarter mile) then I don't bother.

Winking Owl red box is my number one home drink. I get beer when I'm out because it's cheaper and I don't have kegs at home anyway. These days I try not to have more than 2 drinks though, I've been gaining weight constantly since the moving process started. Dude, I am the numero uno :scrooge: here ...

I'm up about 15 lbs now since March, all from eating/drinking out instead of cooking stuff portioned for a small person.

I will agree that the Post Covid food price explosion has me on full :wap: :disgust: "days that used to be" mode on restaurants. I can STILL get an excellent daily driver bottle of red wine at Costco for $12. ZERO VID INFLATION. So I go out and you want to charge me $20 plus for a GLASS o...

:impressive: Seems like y'all spend at least double what we spend, and I think we waste too much. My goal is to eventually have people hang out at our house vs at bars/restaurants, which is why I like living right in town. We hang out with people more at home than out, but oddly for the opposite re...

This is funny/timely - my wife was literally this morning complaining about my 'obsession' over the cost of food and trying to buy/eat inexpensive food/drink. :scrooge: :scrooge: :scrooge: :scrooge: :plaid: :scrooge: :scrooge: :scrooge: :scrooge: :impressive: Seems like y'all spend at least double ...

It's not really the food, but the drinks. Beer is pretty much $7-10 now, mixed drinks are $12-20. So yea, could just not drink and the bill would be quite a bit less. But we don't keep much variety of booze at home and we eat most meals at home, so going out is an experience I guess. We had a great...

Kathleen's bday Dinner was delish at Devon. Swapped halfsies (His Ny Strip/ My Filet) with my oldest.... had one of wife pieces crab cakes. Paid the upcharge for killer Lobster Mac and Cheese and stuck with the Yukon Gold Mashed (some of the best mashed potatoes I have had in any restaurant...... r...

That thing is set up as a "racecar" and I can't see it being fun anywhere but a track. 6-puck clutch, manual (slow) steering, and no AC?

Those are otherwise all pretty good mods AFAIK, looks like all of the stuff is from real brands and fairly well thought out.

I added fake stained glass :tints: to the yuge window in my "office" to keep it light without staring straight at the neighbor's house. This stuff is pretty :neat: I think I've used some version of this film everywhere I've lived now since 2012. Artscape is the company. https://uploads.tap...

I ended up playing my first solo gig tonight entirely unprepared. My partner got a last minute call to his other job, leaving me to play a 3 hour show by myself. I was able to connect my phone to the PA and just improvised over backing tracks from YouTube the whole time. It was nerve-wracking but a...

Since I don't have to do it every day (or even every week really), I actually kind of enjoy the insanity of FL driving. It feels a lot like driving on a track in a mixed-level group. You've got people and cars of every speed and ability level all out there together and it's just one big free-for-all...

:dedong: Yeah I'm a 43 in those. The latest interesting option I see on :crang: slist locally is something like this: https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/bop/d/tampa-drop-bars-groupset-speed-brakes/7381320251.html https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/bop/d/tampa-marin-nicasio-50cm/7387893085.html I'm :not...

I assume you're some 1%'er DFD size like 50cm? Oh for shoes? 46 (US 12). :dedong: Yeah I'm a 43 in those.

Kilkenny? You bastards!

I mean that costume could work for like all of September and October, right? Just don't forget the corset to keep the chest bigger than the waist. That's a dirndl. It's a dress with a corset built in, wife's got a few. AND they're not costumes, they came from Germany when we were there. We take Oct...

We have no friends and don't really have anywhere to go for Halloween. :ohwell: I vastly prefer donning my lederhosen and attending octoberfests. Missed those this year too :| I mean that costume could work for like all of September and October, right? Just don't forget the corset to keep the chest...

I'll have to see what he has down here. I know that there are 3 little speakers and 1 of them is acting up. No clue whether they're the actual commercial products, it's a really small indoor space. The whole bar might seat 25 people?

Anyone have Halloween plans/ideas? This is my first year living in a real city and with weather that will not be 40F and rainy. I can finally wear that sexy fill-in-the-blank costume. Our whole main street is going to be closed to cars and have events everywhere all day. The first thing that comes t...

Sora mini group https://www.ebay.com/itm/174949343870?hash=item28bbcb227e:g:ZP4AAOSwCvZhS2Hm :nice: I may pull the trigger on this, I scoured eBay and mostly was seeing $150 pairs of shifters for $150 from China (after getting bitched at all day every day about customers not getting shit from China...

What pressure? You can go lower on tubeless. Yeah, I went for 65 front 70 rear or so based on what I read, previous was ~80/85. Don't get me :wrong: , the improvement in ride quality is very noticeable, I just don't really care about that all that much I guess. I am doing a century in the mountains...
