Re: Random randomness
Amen. It's always struck me as a peculiar statement; potable water is supposed to be tasteless by design. Seems like it'd be more accurate to say, "I prefer to drink flavoured fluids, and dislike bland and flavourless water."stessier wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 3:19 pmI have never understood people who say they don't like the taste of water.

Re: Random randomness
I saw a post somewhere that stated, "The flavor of water is its temperature."
I thought that was a fair assessment as temp really does make a difference (at least to me).

Re: Random randomness
I can sort of relate to not liking plain water. I always prefered plain ice-cold water, but a little over a year ago I started doping it with lemon juice for it's purported effect in preventing kidney stones rather than for taste. Now that I'm used to the lemon flavor, I do find the flavor (or lack thereof) of plain water to be a little off-putting.
But I also agree that temperature is important to me. I'll take a tall glass of plain ice water over a glass of tepid lemon-water any day.

I cant understand why most, if not all, of the flavored water that is so popular these days has to be sparkling.

Re: Random randomness
Amen! Common ground!
Though I probably wouldn't go so far as hate. But I generally dislike carbonation. I'll occasionally make an exception. But I'm definitely not a fan. Which is why I get tired of water. It's my primary beverage.

For me, I'm affected by hearing experiences like dbt's, so my comfort level is related to how realistic it would be that a live person with direct experience would encounter such things. It's reasonable to ask why I'm not as affected by the chance of someone heavily tied to the Sons of the Revolution may encounter the same, but that has more to do with my cynicism than any particular logic.
Heck, your even asking "but where do you draw the line?" (paraphrasing) rankles that same cynicism. Certain R&P posters lean heavily into similar (implied) slipper slope argumentative tactics, and I have no time for engagement with that.

Didn't mean to rankle - I should have posted more rather than expect people to divine my point (was posting right before a meeting, so totally on me). I meant to imply with those questions that it is likely different for every person (as you point out) and someone with no experience with people of that generation (say, your typical Youtuber) is likely to have a much different perspective than you or I. Thus, I wouldn't come down too hard on them. I understand why dbt would stop following them, but I think suggesting that there is something wrong with the joking isn't fair (also, depending on the joking - I haven't seen the clip).The Meal wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 2:02 pmIt also affects how it sounds when you pour it.

Re: Random randomness
And I didn't mean to accuse! I get your point loudly and clearly, and agree more than I disagree. I also had less sympathy in my youth than I do now, so I don't "blame" the "kids" (the "damn kids" even!) for their lack of sensitivity, but I hold lots more sympathy for dbt's position (as I laid out). I think we're mostly in engineering-mind sympatico. I think we do have different opinions in the last clause of your last non-parenthetical: "I think suggesting that there is something wrong with the joking isn't fair," but we are both opining without having seen the evidence. If I overlay with some of the WWII-related out-of-touch behaviors I've experienced (North Americans visiting Berlin and giving Nazi salutes, for instance), it's easy for me to picture very fair criticism of inappropriate joking. You're right to imply that details are important, but I think dbt's experiences as a soldier will always generally outweigh the sympathy I give for folks whose experience is creating youtube videos.stessier wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 2:51 pm Didn't mean to rankle - I should have posted more rather than expect people to divine my point (was posting right before a meeting, so totally on me).

I have one very high quality fedora from New York and one official Indiana Jones fedora that was not cheap though. Its the Indy one thats dusty. Thought I had it put away but discovered I did not. My super nice one is boxed.
I do have an original fedora from the 1930s or 40s or so. Its VERY used and worn out. I love it. Its also smaller ..not in head size but overall size. Its wonderful too. Seen better days though.

Stevia jacks me up for some reason.
I bought the plain lemonade 10 pack and I have to say it's pretty good. After looking at the other products they had in the same category, it appears that my issue with these types of flavor packets may not be with Stevia, but with aspartame.
Anyway, I am going to order the unsweetened packs online. I think these will do nicely. Thanks for the recommendation.

Do you remember that jingle? In the dark ages, when there was only mass-market beer, I drank Miller, Pabst, and Stroh's. After Sam Adams changed everything I never went back. But if I were shipwrecked on a desert island with a refrigerator and some crates washed up, I'd learn to like those old favorites again, grateful that this island somehow has electricity for my fridge.stimpy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 12:07 amThe Champagne of beers!!!

Miller was only good to take fishing on a hot day in my teens.
I find myself singing the "Here’s to good friends, tonight is kinda special, the beer we’ll pour must say something more, some-how, so to-night, to-night let it be Lowenbrau"
Although in my version some of the words are hummed like Kraken's.
More like "Here’s to good friends, tonight is kinda special, the beer will pour hmmm hmm hhhmmmmm more, some-how, hm hm-hmmm, to-night let it be Lowenbrau"
Then it doesn't rhyme and I cant remember why.

Glad I could help.stimpy wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 11:48 pmSo I went to the local Jewel store and all they had were True Lemon Lemonade varieties, which list Stevia as an ingredient.stimpy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 11:11 pmI may have to try the unsweetened ones. I've tried other flavored packets and it's a hard no.Anonymous Bosch wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 11:00 pm Indeed, I've never enjoyed carbonated water, either.
In terms of healthy flavour enhancers for non-carbonated water that aren't loaded with artificial rubbish, the variety of True Citrus Products are my personal favourites.
Stevia jacks me up for some reason.
I bought the plain lemonade 10 pack and I have to say it's pretty good. After looking at the other products they had in the same category, it appears that my issue with these types of flavor packets may not be with Stevia, but with aspartame.
Anyway, I am going to order the unsweetened packs online. I think these will do nicely. Thanks for the recommendation.
As long as you're not after Daehawk-levels of sweetness absurdity, their lemonade and limeade drink mixes are surprisingly decent for stevia drink mixes (my favourites are the peach lemonade and black cherry limeade). But their unsweetened citrus wedges line are more likely to be what you're after.
I really enjoy their unsweetened True Grapefruit, and ordered a 500 count box of True Grapefruit from Amazon.

Re: Random randomness
I actually meant to get some of the unsweetened ones today but forgot it and something else. I still cant remember what the other thing I forgot was. My dog is supposed to take notes but he cant find it either.

Remember it? It's my ringtone!! LolKraken wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 12:20 amDo you remember that jingle? In the dark ages, when there was only mass-market beer, I drank Miller, Pabst, and Stroh's. After Sam Adams changed everything I never went back. But if I were shipwrecked on a desert island with a refrigerator and some crates washed up, I'd learn to like those old favorites again, grateful that this island somehow has electricity for my fridge.stimpy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 12:07 amThe Champagne of beers!!!
Still my preferred choice to this day.

It was a toss up between that and the Hamms jingle, but I never really liked Hamms all that much.
