Vitamix. It's about 500, but you'll have blender forever.
This one lasted for 2 years and 3 people were using it every day, more than once. So I'm super surprised it lasted that long. The way I make iced coffee, I use a dark roast instant coffee, add some creamer, fill the blender cup with ice, add whatever mint thing I want, and fill it to the top with water then blend it. I super do not have the patience for brewing and chilling anything and if you get a good instant coffee, it tastes just as good. But yeah, they call this a frappe where the ice is like a slushy. What you described is just an iced coffee. That was my bad, I don't call it a frappe unless I'm ordering one at starbucks lol
an impossibility.Quote:

So we're about to get a category 4 hurricane which means my friend visiting from out of town is going to have to cut her trip short so I'm pretty upset about that. Also not going to the state fair this year either. =(
The one I get tastes vaguely of chocolate and it is super delicious with french vanilla creamer.Quote:

Yup
I like Nescafe and that Japanese UCC stuff just fine.
We have had a Blendtech for 5 years. It blends ice every morning, and still works like it's brand new.
Blendtec is another good brand.

And ugh nah I'm not gonna get a $500 blender. I totally trust the recommendations (thank you!) but I'm cheap when it comes to kitchen stuff.
So sad. Tired of this type of tragedy.Quote:

The onion meme going around speaks volumes about how ignorant Americans are of world events or the problems of minorities.
People die a lot in other countries and we rarely hear of it. We have plenty of buddies on that list if nations per gun crime and per gun death but we never hear if it.
Also, the largest portion of gun related crime and gun related death is minorities. Often disinfranchised young men. But we never hear about that either.
What we do hear about is a satistically small number of white people. Excuse me, white americans.
But shit, maybe that is a better alternative. God help us if cnn spins off a second network that reports all of the horrible things that happen in a day. Old white people will stop leaving their houses.
Someone explain to me how the systematic execution of Christians is the gun's fault unless it occurs in a black church.
edit: I'm referring to the general reaction on Twitter, not anything anyone here said.

I don't know about this, but I could swear that once upon a time, the History Channel was educational instead of 100% bullshit. Also the home improvement channel was about ways to improve your home instead of some pseudo-gameshows about choosing House 1 2 or 3 and the like.
I GUESS THIS IS GROWING UP

I got really into that show for about a whole season, but now the "new" episodes are just rehashes of old shows. Predictably, it jumped the shark after the dinosaurs and aliens episode, as if anything was ever going to top that.
I've found the correct frame of reference for it is to compare all of it to religion. When you use that benchmark, it becomes fairly believable. The Mormons figured that out a long time ago and combined the two, so props to them.
edit: Imagine how high their conversion rate would be if they started advertising on TV again and replaced the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the Mormons" with "We're the Mormons, and we believe in aliens."
Exactly as Yoshi said. I also like the idea of how interpretation of the world can lead to different realities.
My left foot has been cramped up all day. Kind of like sore tenden or something. Like, that feeling you get in your calf after a charlie horse, except across what im guessing is a muscle from my middle toe to the middle left side of the foot. This has been happening off and on for the past year.
I've never had a Charlie horse, and I don't understand why people can't walk when they have 'pins and needles'. The sensation doesn't cause me pain or impairment.
That's 'cause you're on drugs, man.
and brain damaged
It could be both.
The US bombed a hospital in Afganistan, killing a bunch of children and doctors.
Fuck yeah!
This a few days after we told Russia they weren't bombing Syria correctly.
We have freedom bombs.
Guys, guys
As long as it's not white American female children, it's ok.
It's flooding here. We had to cancel a family dinner with my brother that's visiting from out of town because of it. I hope we don't have a repeat of last year which destroyed our washer and dryer.
Time to lug them to the adic. Chop chop.
Is chop chop racist?
no but adic is
attic
I'm just going to assume you're drunk because ain't no one lugging a whole washer/dryer set up into a ceiling access attic door, which also would not even fit either one through it, plus the weight of them would exceed the limit for the ladder. And two, how do you even get racist out of 'chop chop'? Am I asian? And even if I was, asians don't have the market cornered on chopping things.
TL;DR Go home, you're drunk.
I don't know. If it meant buying another 500-1000 washing set, I bet I could find a way to remove them from the wet place.
Fuck litterbugs, dude.

...what kind of dumbass goes out to sea...picks up a sea turtle...then works on it with a god damn set of pliers in swiss army knife?
Is there a proper Sea turtle Nose Obstruction Removal Tool I do not know about?
A nice pair of vice grips would have let them get that thing out in one good tug, instead of digging in the wound over and over again.
Or shit, at least a good pair of needle nose pliars.
Who the fuck gets that far out to sea without a tool box on the boat. A tackle box of leurs would have at least a pair of needle nose pliars for fixing leurs.
That poor turtle.

I'm sure it's related to how miserable things have been for you professionally, but...pls stahp. Find something that gives you joy and do it. For our sakes if not your own.
What have I done that is insufferable?

You've the conviction and stubbornness of Yoshi with none of the conciseness.
I know that in your mind, shitting up the Star Wars thread was ok because at least something was going on in it. But in reality, it's better a thread be a ghost town with the occasional on topic post than something you keep bumping with an off topic manifesto. There are places on the board for you to do what you do. Topic specific threads are not it.
I didn't realize that off topic posts bother everyone so much.
Come on, IP. You know that's not what he's talking about. He's not imagining things, either. You've been gratingly contrary in every thread you post in lately.
I think you need to burn your worksite down. Get icarusfall to help you.

I don't think Icarus is joking.

Hey Doc, are the laws different for strip clubs in the South than they are in the North? Up here, all windows and shit must be blacked out. So there's no way in hell I could say, drive by and see someone using a leaf blower on the tables inside without actually going in the place.
Protip: you'd take the tables outside.
So you're blowing glitter all over God's Green Earth? Fuck that noise.

I don't know if glitter was actually on them. I was being PG-13 for facebook.

One of the 4 P's in marketing. Some people like to pay a higher price just so they can say they did. That or they're just idiots.
I doubt anyone is bragging about spending more money on used games.
I imagine it is the used delusion. That everything used is cheaper.
What IP said.
I have some really decent games at stupid prices brand new because I got them even stupider cheap from clearance sales, but people won't even walk over to see the new stuff. So I'm now ripping them open and selling them as used at higher prices and it pisses me off.
People want to feel like they beat the system. They also like to feel like they're getting a value for their money, and they'll sink more cash into something they think is 'rare' or has some secret value. Stick a 29.99 on some Imagine Horses game and put it next to an actual good game at $5.99, I'd bet Imagine Horses is walking out the door that day. Perceived value is a weirdo funhouse mirror.
Maybe you could have your own clearance/sale section with signing to draw the cheapskates' attention. It works on me.
Same!
How does this still happen in the land of smart phones?
What do you mean?
It will always happen. It's just how some people are wired.Quote:

Most people base value off of asking prices anyway. Doesn't mean anything.
My experience in retail teaches me to not underestimate the stupidity of people in general. You, me, most of tnl would look it up, but the majority of people roaming the store are knuckle dragging mouth breathers.
the great irony is that I'm sure we all work with a town idiot that can't stay off their phone.
Hell, I have one amazing fucker at work that operates a 50 ton capacity crane that hides an ipad in his lunch bag.
I've done the trick before where two games price dropped from $39 to $19. The more popular game I just changed the price tag to reflect the new price. The far less popular game I left the $39 sticker and put a small sign underneath "Sale $19.99!" Guess which one sold far better than the other.
If I was in your store looking for a cheap game, I might not have even looked at the new games, assuming that they all were priced higher than their used counterparts. I'd only go to the New section for a game that I knew had recently been released. Moving the game to the used section probably increased it's visibility.
When I go into a specialty store, I look all over it. Guess that's just me.
maybe its game stop's fault. Plebs get accustomed to the new games always being more.
Yeah, but only like $5 more at places like Gamestop. I don't know if that's changed, but if a game is $50 new there a used copy will be $45.
