They get better every year, noise cancelling is best I’ve used

They really can’t be beat, never have a chemical taste no matter how weird the flavour

Was the best, now they removed the Stalingrad grain silo and added glycerol to make it smooth and thick. Fuck to latvia

It’s actually from Wisconsin the Israelis just stole the IP. Softest shooting magnum handgun, dropping the slide on it is like nothing else

Another great tree, moss and lichen rarely grow on them so they always look pristine

Always a good time, the route that passes through the Gulf Islands is beautiful, and the White Spot tastes so good in a bad way

Quality has fallen but seems to be picking back up, the mid priced racing wheels were so good 20 years ago

This place has a T Rex, and they do really cool day trips out into the badlands

They were so cool, I first saw them in the Matrix and when I found a bunch in a drawer as a kid I was so excited, but they were just old demos my dads bands had made

It was the longest suspension bridge in the world when it was built, now it’s way down the list but it’s still a great bridge. We used to smoke weed and watch the welding sparks rain down at night when they were expanding it

Really beautiful place, there’s a small mud pond with a huge front end loader mostly submerged with its shovel reaching out of the mud like a monster in a tar pit. Last time I went I came across a still steaming pile of bear shit full of berries

I like it a lot but if I don’t drink it for two days I get a headache, but a sip of instant coffee makes the headache go away so it’s not a terrible addiction or anything

Great novel, sci-fi with vampires, main character is a biologist who catalogues gene transfer between wild animals caused by the GMO version of the little old lady who swallowed a fly who swallowed a spider to eat the fly

The upturned wing tips, the high tail plane above and behind the engines, it is the perfect plane.

Great stuff, especially the clear red type. If you need something to stay stuck and don’t care much about what it looks like you can’t go wrong with duct tape.

Fits in the hand so nice, design is as simple as you can get. The starting gun in all the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games

Probably my favourite album, the guitar on Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset is the best sound I’ve ever heard.

You can get good stuff for an okay price sometimes, and it is my favourite store to just walk around and kill time. The returns/as-is section rules, you can often get free stuff like extra shelves screws and brackets if you ask the attendant.

Popularized the anime staples of swarming projectiles and acrobatic robots, his work on the original Macross and Gundam series still influences action directing today.

I think the cat I found is an American Bombay and she is the most talkative cat I have ever met, not meowing for attention in the next room but just walking around muttering and announcing herself when she comes in the room.

Great little truck, I’ve owned two 2.3L manual transmission Mazda B2300/Ford Rangers. Lots of great cars came out of the Mazda Ford partnership, and you end up with cool features like the Ranger using the same great feeling transmission from the Miata.

Almost the same price as a regular used Honda but you get an engine that’s a few years newer technology wise than the same model year Honda and a nicer interior.

Maybe my favourite fruit. If you buy them when they are a light green yellow with a smooth surface they will keep in the fridge for over a month with no change in taste or texture. Has completely replaced apples in my life.

It’s the ideal fast food burger, I used to think the single slice of cheese for two patties was a mistake but the balance is perfect.
