I hated sauerkraut until a waiter at a German restaurant talked me into trying their house made stuff on a bratwurst. It was amazing. Now I like certain brands, but the cheap brands are still gross

My addition to your driving comment is to make sure you have the right tires on your vehicle and if you have a rear wheel drive vehicle, get rid of it and get an AWD one. And before someone jumps in and comments about how their Mustang does just fine in the snow, let me remind you that OP has no experience driving in snow, so no, a RWD car is crap for snow/ice compared to FWD or AWD.

As for the tires, I realize studded tires have their issues, but they are still the best winter tire for both snow and ice. Blizzaks and the like are good, but on glare ice with a thin layer of water on top, they just don’t cut it the way studded tires do.

The sticking only happens due to moisture on your skin. If your skin is dry enough it won’t stick. That’s why the tongue is the go-to dare for playground kids. Lots of moisture. If your skin is clammy from sweat or snow melt and the metal is cold enough then the moisture freezes to the metal and grips your skin

Skellige is nice, but I prefer Toussaint:

When I was younger I’ve definitely made fun of friends who order “girly” drinks, and have in turn been made fun of when I do it. It’s pretty standard among males in my generation (X) and older. Usually happens when everyone else in your group is ordering “manly” drinks like beer or hard liquor.

It doesn’t even have to be something like a cosmopolitan, it could be a gin & tonic, or rum and coke. If they’re all drinking bourbon on the rocks and you order something even slightly less strong, you’re going to hear about it.

Then there’s the times where the first guy orders a beer, then the next guy has to trump him with a run and coke, then the next guy gets a whiskey on the rocks, so then it gets one upped with a whiskey neat. Next thing you know we’re smoking crack in the alley. Just kidding about that last one, but you get the idea. We thought we were being macho, but we were idiots in our early 20s, so shrug

The real issue is Daddy’s penchant for capitalizing the first letter of (almost) every word

And if my grandma had wheels she’d be a bus

Don’t worry, it made me forget all about my sneeze, so I guess it was successful.

I punch the tip of my nose and pull up a slight bit. Seems to help.

Tried your suggestion, and I misjudged my punch and broke my nose.

I often think about how amazing it is to have indoor plumbing. Not having to pump water out of the ground manually or worse, having to drop a bucket in a well is such a luxury. Not to mention being able to take a shit without having to go outside

A truly majestic bird

Yes! I came here to see if anyone had mentioned this. My favorite fantasy series when I was a teenager. I also wouldn’t mind his Incarnations of Immortality series turned into a show either, but Amber would work better due to the humor and settings

Gotta love it when simping for Israel gets you fired.

What’s green and red and goes round and round?

Tater tots

Mustard is the classier option
