100%. Definitely starts promoting everyone in the meeting too once they are all high.

I appreciate that perspective. They aren't bad habits, they are different habits... and they work better in certain scenarios too. Convert those mannerisms to superpowers I say.

 

The Mango Chainsaw is better BUT I still really like the lime. It reminds me of a mojito - I love mojitos.

  • Flavor Taste 7.5
  • Flavor Intensity 5
  • Carbonation **Low, Subtle Notes of… lime, the agave, and I swear I can taste of hint of mint but I think my brain is playing tricks on me. In the end it's like a light flavoring of virgin mojito.

Definitely getting this one again.

I can't believe I didn't know about these flavors before.

The Mango Chainsaw is pretty amazing, however, this seltzer has some sugars in it. This brings about the question: at what point can you call a drink a seltzer and at what point does it become a juice / soda type drink? A debate for another day maybe.

  • Flavor Taste 8
  • Flavor Intensity 5
  • Carbonation Low, Subtle
  • Notes of... it's slightly tangy, definitely tropical, kind of has a pineapple/mango almost hint of bubble gum flavor to it (reminds me a tad of Red Bull).

Definitely will buy again and will be bringing this to group gatherings where people want you to look like the rest of the cool hipster beer drinkers.

 

It tastes like lemon pie. I don't like drinking pies. Who thought this one was a good idea?

  • Flavor Taste 3
  • Flavor Intensity 8
  • Notes of… key LEMON pie? Bizarre. I'm sure there are people who like these flavors - not for me.
 

Seriously, what should I buy in bulk and try? I have an indecision complex.

P.S. get ready for me to trash your selections in reviews.

Still trying to work out if I should bother a longer seasoning cycle to disappear those "milky spots" on the inner edge of the pan. But doesn't effect my cooking right now so I'm not worried about it.

I don't mind the USB flashlights since I am always carrying around a back-up power bank with swappable USB cables in both my car and my bag.

I'll have to check out the silicon diffusor I never thought of using one on any flashlight.. I'm sure there are some that work on any flashlight (sized to fit or not).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah I definitely think it could work if it's done the right way There are some much needed functionalities that Lemmy has yet to offer that will make it easier to stand up instances like this (easier customization, better cross-posting, better admin/mod tools, and clearer documentation). But the idea is great and it could work with some patience and hard work across various different players in the lemmy game.

Great idea! Will be checking it out soon. A few communities I am moderating on lemmy.world are:

Would be interested to see how crossover might work between instances.

Ah! But then you need a dedicated hat. 😆 Definitely an additional +1 to any kit.

Also, what's this second flashlight with a silicone diffusor? Got a model/name for it?

 

This is an attempt to figure out what caused it. It is also an example of how it's pretty difficult to figure out what actually causes a migraine from day to day.

Slept from 12 to 9:30AM. Breakfast was French Toast and Eggs. Skipped Coffee. Went swimming out in the sun for about an hour (had sunscreen on). First started feeling a headache and getting dizzy and progressed into a migraine - 11:30AM. Had pizza and root beer for lunch. Took a midday nap for about an hour at 12:30PM. Woke up with throbbing migraine. Took Aleve. Drank 1000ml of water (not that that helps really). Drank a cup of coffee. Migraine went away at about 2PM.

If I take Aleve quickly enough I can usually stop a migraine within an hour or two. If I take it too late then the Aleve does nothing and the migraine can sometimes last until the next day.

Why does this timeline matter? It matters because it's an example of how anything could have caused the migraine especially when there are so many confounding factors at play.

  1. Woke up later than usual.
  2. Didn't drink my normal coffee in the morning, withdrawal/craving?
  3. Out in the sun too long?
  4. I had sunscreen on, sensitivity to the sunscreen chemicals?
  5. Didn't eat enough for breakfast + craving more substantial food, needing to eat lunch earlier?
  6. Something else entirely not listed here?

Sometimes you just can't figure it out - you just gotta take the meds quickly and move on.

Yeah I don't know if I could handle the crash and other side-effects. I already have so many other health things I am trying to manage and understand I feel like this would be another wrench thrown into the proverbial machine.

I did get a chance to meet with the therapist and she immediately was like "you have ADHD". All it took was mentioning my unending fidgeting and constant need to rush things and she already knew where it was going. I wonder if a therapist has the ability to administer any tests even if they aren't for the purpose of medication - more as a clinical confirmation of diagnosis I guess?

Thanks for your ADHD story btw!

 

I drank 4 of these today. They hit the spot. But they are nowhere near as good as Polar's Ginger Lime Mule flavor.

  • Flavor Taste 8.5
  • Flavor Intensity 6
  • Notes of… lime. Are you surprised?

I will keep posting pictures of random seltzer I drink even if it drives everyone out of this community. 😆

I started adding an additional headlamp flashlight to my bags - in an emergency I may need my hands available. Has been the better choice when there's something I need to fix or work on at night.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I unfortunately don't have a Kroger near me. But Polar sells a flavor called Unicron Kisses that has a slight Cotton Candy flavor. I'll have to try and get my hands on the Kroger one at some point.

 

I'm not kidding around - this better become a reality.

Fully stocked with every flavor and ready to go. Plus those buy two get one free deals are killer. I usually buy 12 at a time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, dang - thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

If I could add you myself I would. I'll check back in a couple days to remind you. Every vote for seltzer counts.

Fucking yep. Used to live next to the Polar HQ in Worcester, MA. It was like a slice of heaven. There were entire aisles dedicated to just Polar seltzer flavors. Those were the days.

 

A great place to:

  • A) talk about, rate, and enjoy different seltzer flavors and brands.
  • B) help people stop drinking bad drinks like alcohol, soda, coffee, etc.
  • C) encourage each other to get hydrated but with style.

Let's not take it too seriously - it's just water with bubbles in it at the end of the day.
