Here’s a thought: manuals have been less frequently bought because they have been less available. They aren’t available because dealers aren’t ordering them. When the car market was scarce (2021), dealers were less inclined to ask for anything that wasn’t in line with the majority customer. On top of that, many…

I wonder how much of this is just down to manuals having bottomed out in popularity, and now relatively marginal changes are going to big produce swings just because the numbers are that low. Like, a new Mustang this year is probably going to single-handedly give it a decent spike.

Nice Job, Friend of Friends!

I’m still waiting on them to build toilets right into the seats so I can take a nice big shit without possibly missing any important moments. Don’t worry, I’ve brought my personal bottle of poo-pourri to spray beforehand, because I’m thoughtful and care about my fellow moviegoers.

I mean, alcohol is sold at just about every form of public entertainment these days. Movies, plays, concerts, sports, etc. It’s inevitable, ramifications be damned. *shrug*

The Marcus cinemas near me are trying to capture some of that pre-movie dining by offering fast food options (slightly elevated) and alcohol. One theatre simply has a handful of tables in the lobby, but the other has an actual dedicated dining space. While I’ve not been tempted to dine at either, I could certainly see…

I understand the need to want to capture different market segments and pursue additional revenue streams. As attendance has dwindled due to a variety of factors (prevalence of affordable home theatre setups, covid, etc), it’s understandable they would go after something like that. But prepared food has such low…

I know people who have Masters degrees but couldn’t think their way out of a wet paper bag because their degree isn’t in ‘Wet Paper Bag Escape’.  A college degree indicates that its holder was able to meet the financial and schoolwork requirements to receive the degree, nothing more.

The borg is created by filling a plastic gallon jug with a half-and-half mixture of vodka and water, plus add-ins like a caffeinated flavor enhancer and/or an electrolyte power mix and/or whatever other type of sweetener the mixologist chooses. Simple, cheap, and non-breakable.

As if everyone who gets into college is a genius. Heck, plenty of morons actually graduate. 

How is this “new”? Sure, they’re using newer powders on the market today, but otherwise this is just “vodka and kool-aid” or “everclear and kool-aid” the frats at my school were making 20 years ago. And I’m sure kids 20 years before that were doing it as well. As long as sugared Kool-aid packets existed, frat bros…

Just the idea that it being half water, half vodka is protective ignores math. That makes it 20% alcohol by volume - stronger than wine or beer.

yeah totally new phenomenon 

Part of the appeal, according to borg-heads, is to prevent hangovers by counteracting the sugar and booze with water and electrolytes.

“There’s no Everclear in here. They’re fucking us over”

It’s not a real party without a plastic garbage can FULL of Everclear based jungle juice. 

So it’s Riot Juice from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia?

Whenever there’s a potential riot, I’m getting blasted on grain alcohol.
