Inspired by recently buying a cajon, and my husband immediately buying another for additional living room seating because he loved it.

    A couple of mentions for cocaine here, but for me it was MDMA. I never understood how you could get addicted to anything until I was at the club and I really really really wanted another line of that love powder and immediately decided to never do it again. Then I did it again.

    Sports cars. It sucks knowing you are contributing to climate change AND not even having fun doing it. Family sedans, SUVs and big trucks suck shit. So I drive my little MX-5 as much as I can now. And get to smile that I’m making double the gas mileage of my jeep and having 10X more fun while doing it.

        I’ve driven everything due to work, from compact cars to SUVs and even small trucks. I can parallel park with all of them, even with a trailer added.

        I have once driven a Smart Fortwo. I could not park. I could touch the rear window from the drivers seat, but I could not park.

        No argument here. It’s by far my favorite car I’ve ever driven, and I’ve owned a couple corvettes, a GTO (second favorite), a firebird, WRX. I’ve driven cars of friends with everything from M3s to 911s and honestly everything in between. Nothing has put a smile on my face like the MX-5.

        Depends on the device, some really don’t like rechargeable ones. And for device that get changed so infrequently, like tv remote, use alkaline.

          The brand of rechargeable batteries matters a surprising amount, if your device doesn’t play nice maybe try a better brand? My Quest 1 basically only accepts Panasonic Eneloop Pros, I get quite a bit of input lag when using random offbrand rechargeable batteries

    Cocaine definitely. Downside of the stripper salt is its a fairly short lived high and the comedown always results in a headache for me so gotta keep doing it to go the night.

    Cocaine. It had absolutely no effect on me other than making me want more instantly. I tried it like three or four times before realizing that it didn’t really do anything. Granted, the third and fourth time I only got it because my dealer was exceptionally hot and he allowed me to snort the cocaine off of his abs.

    A döner in Germany. Everything about it is so good, I ended up eating every other day the next week I was there.

      My German ‘must have more’ was the sauerkraut. It is sooo much better there than in the states, and it was slightly different in each town I tried it. My staple meal was whatever the local version was of: sausage, sauerkraut, and wheat beer.

        The food in Germany is completely meh imo, EXCEPT for the restaurant sour kraut - holy shit it is sooooo much better than what we get in the states. Someone told me it’s because they cook it up in some kind of animal lard
