Strangely, on mobile, the notification link brought me straight to the discussion, but desktop made me click through. 

For me, I didn't care to add a potential source for a leak if I'm happy with a filter pitcher.

I CLICKED TEN TIMES JUST TO AGREE WITH YOU AND SKIPPED READING ANY OF IT.

Dang, your toast must be soggy and cold...

I’m in your boat.  I never even hooked up the water line to mine.

Interesting... I didn’t know biotransformation could happen in the presence of yeast absent fermentation. Heck, can a yeast population even go through the growth phase without any sugars? That’s super interesting.

OK soda and PB Max candy bars.

This may as well be a billion years ago, but when I left Seattle, it really was the most miserable place to coexist with people. Everyone stared at their shoes and nobody liked each other. It seems very on-brand for year 2000 Seattle, to be honest.

Oh, man... I’m now hoping I get fired so I can get a job closer to an Einstein Brother’s bagel shop.

And based on the product locator, this is only sold in dollar stores in my area- what are you trying to get me to eat, Allison?

My search in the hilariously incompetent Hy-Vee app suggests that it’s either in the hair color aisle or the liquor store.  I’ll have to do some digging to find this.

I still have that kind of problem with $100 bottles.  It takes a lot of telling myself there won’t be anything worth celebrating in the future to convince myself to have a nip on any given day.

The brand I buy kept pushing their grain free varieties- I had a hard time finding the original formula.  I just started rotating in different wet with the kibble to try to keep a good variety going.  I made a joke to my wife about the gluten-free thing finally hitting dog food, but shoot, I had no idea grain free…

Years ago, I took a vacation in New Mexico.  I had no clue how much I would love the place, and how good the food would be.  Green chili just makes me happy.

I’ve sold tickets at a brewery celebrating their anniversary.  The “ticket” was a $2 donation that got you into a party with bands, special release beers, guest food trucks, etc.  The number of people who said “if I don’t want to watch the bands, do I still have to pay $2" was astounding.

Thank you- I go into a crisp>crunch rant every time someone goes off talking up kettle chips on this site.

That’s him. He’s super interesting aside from the Big Mac stuff... here’s a long podcast that spends a while with the guy (he comes in around at 27 minutes in):

I’ve long been team Whopper over Big Mac.  Part of it is because of Don Gorske, the fellow from Wisconsin whose eaten more Big Macs than anyone.  He used to buy them in bulk and stash them on the dashboard of his car, to eat throughout the week.  Makes me wretch thinking about it.

Shocking news: 100% of people who eat breakfast will someday die.

Damn... if I’ve gotta go someday anyway, this seems like a decent enough way to go out.
