The lesson is that it’s better to never try to reach out to a marginalized group than to try and fail.

I have a feeling that this is the kind of post that will change my life.

I’ve been kinda sucked into the game recently. I finished cleaning up Eos and I’m still working on clearing Voeld and because the combat is so fluid, I’ve been very engaged. The story OK, but I don’t think I’ve explored enough to really give an overall statement about it. I will say what kills my vibe are all the dumb…

An ice cold beer in the shower after a long day of doing yard work is truly one of life’s great pleasures.

No you don’t? Just drink between steps. If you use a bottle your hand should be nowhere near the mouth of the bottle anyways and thus it is okay if you have soap on your hands.

It’s that kind of thinking that is stopping you from enjoying life to the max!

Definitely not a fad. This has been a thing for years and years. Stephanie is just new to the party.

It’s a model of efficiency. If I’m going to drink beer anyway, but need a shower, it is likely that my shower +beer is going to last approximately the same amount of time as shower -beer. However, in the +beer scenario, I’m now 1 beer in, versus the -beer scenario where I’ve yet to crack the seal. Kudos to the…

Actually a lot of very excellent craft beers come exclusively in cans. Cans protect beer from light, and therefore protect it from going bad. These are also modern lined cans that no longer impart any taste like older cans do.

Why stop at a beer? You can prep your whole dinner in the shower:

Yeah the only beverage I can see staying unsullied in my shower is a vacuum-sealed capri-sun. It’s like Seaworld when I step in there.

When i was in college, after a good traying (it’s like sledding, but, you slide down the snow covered hills on a tray that you “borrow” from the cafeteria) session, i would take a Mountain Dew (sometimes 2) into the shower with me. Nothing like a hot shower and a cold Dew.

This is a discussion about drinking beer while you shower. If you’re the type of artisotractic person who snubs beer based exclusively on the container, you should probably just sit this one out.

Agreed. Plenty of great beers come in cans now. Plus Yeti makes this...

Beer in cans all day long. Get yourself a nice well insulated can holder (eg https://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Stainless-Steel-Beverage-Insulator/dp/B0000644AF) so your beer stays nice and cold in a nice hot shower, and enjoy.

This feels really icky and exploitative regardless of his other work. Sorry. And, there is really no way to tell if it was this or something else on the application that got him accepted, and it’s many times more likely that it was something else.

“It’s the behavioral part that trips us up.”

I find that budgeting for my own lack of impulse control creates much more realistic, achievable goals. I know exactly how many days in a row (three) I can keep myself on tight rations before I start thinking things like “I would sell my mother into slavery for a big plate…

I can’t help but win this month’s challenge (job with an opt-out 401k, rather than opt-in) so I’m going to get the Mr. on board with last month’s challenge. I scrimped and saved while he blew money all over town, so I’m quite peeved at the moment.
