Got poo poo-canned from work last month with 3 months severance and have been living the dream since. Wake up when I want with a bong rip to meet the day, beer with breakfast, shower after a run with the dog, video games/Netflix/HBOGO until my eyes bleed, dinner of some sort (maybe I'll make a nice steak meal; alternatively, I'll just eat an entire tub of hummus), start up till 3 reading the internet. Pretty awesome. Only downside is knowing I will eventually need to look for a job to avoid starvation (but that's many months away with how much I saved up from the last 18 months work). Oh well, time for another drink.

bulletsponge13 posted:Bulb blew out on my big rear end DLP tv. Ordered a new one from amazon that should be here tuesday. Bought. Tiny rear end tv at walmart to use for the weekend that I will return after the bulb comes in. Not sure if bachelor, white trash, or both. Rental "purchases" are very bachelor. I do this with tools all the time; other than cable guys, who the gently caress needs a CAT-5 crimper for more than a weekend?

Gorilla Salad posted:When I'm cooking a casserole or savoury mince and I need to thicken it, I just mix a little flour and water in a cup and slowly stir it it. It doesn't take much at all to thicken even a big pot to a nice consistency. Use cornstarch instead (or arrowroot if you have it); it imparts less flavor than flour.

Negromancer posted:Squirt is a caffeine-free, citrus-flavored, carbonated soft drink, created in 1938 in Phoenix, Arizona. When I was younger, my friends and I would bit the ends off of twizzlers and use them as straws to drink squirt. That poo poo was delicious, but your teeth kind of hurt afterwards.

Went to a party last night at a friend's house. Brought a bottle of Eagle Rare 10yr and a handle of Stoli (I'm usually a mooch at these friends' house, so figured I'd return the favor). Eagle Rare was all but untouched, Stoli was drat near assassinated. Took the Eagle Rare home with me this morning out of disgust.

I like Buffalo Trace, and a 750ml is usually about 17-20 bucks near me (Georgia). I prefer it over similarly priced items such as Makers or Four Roses.

I eventually got the remaining tooth removed a few years later. Jesus Christ, that is loving hardcore. Were you poor or just inhumanly lazy?

ToxicSlurpee posted:There's some truth to this, actually. One of the funnier stories I heard was when a bunch of wine critics were tested to see if they could identify wines and they couldn't. Somebody was taking cheap rear end wine and putting it in fancy bottles and it was getting rated very high. Same wine in a cheap bottle got rated badly. Later they served these guys some white wine with red food coloring and they couldn't tell the difference between the colored white wine and the actual red stuff. Really, wine snobbery is bullshit. If you like it drink it and grab whatever kind you like. If you don't like it whatever, drink something else. It also depends what you consider "cheap wine." I get the feeling most people could tell the difference between a $4 bottle of wine and a $40 bottle of wine, but less so between a $40 bottle of wine and a $400 bottle of wine. Also, wine is rather subjective due to different palates and tastes. I don't really drink wine very much, but I do enjoy malbecs with steak. As to port, it's just too sweet for me; I feel like it's Yom Kippur and 'm drinking manschevitz. Also, that poo poo can get real expensive real quick.

Trilineatus posted:Find a good dentist in a good neighborhood that caters to decent folks. Call them up, explain your situation and your lack of insurance or whatever, and ask if they'd be willing to work with you on payment because you've heard what a phenomenal job they do and you're scared it will get hosed up again. This man speaks wisdom. My father was a dentist, who himself told me at a very young age that just like in every other profession, some doctors are good, some are bad. Some are excellent, and some are terrible. It sounds like the original poster had an absolutely terrible dentist, which makes me think of the old joke: "What do you call the guy who graduated at the bottom of his med school class?" "doctor". Also, you are usually better off self paying for dental in most cases; reimbursements for doctors are real bad, so if you are able to pay cash, most dentists will do it for 50% or less of what they would charge if you were paying via insurance. That, in combination with how rarely you really need to go to the dentist (once or maybe twice a year), makes it that you usually end up paying more in premiums, deductibles, and non covered expenses that it males an all around better financial decison to self-insure. If you want a good dentist, go to a sole proprietorship or small local partnership in a quiet part of town that has been established for 15-20 years. Chains and large pemractice groups are where hacks hide and billing divisions prey on unsuspecting patients.

They also sell 153 "Diesel", which actually makes Natty Light taste better if you pour a half a shot into it after opening.

Splizwarf posted:You have incorrectly assessed the point of this thread and the previous bachelor megathreads. There's a point? Maybe you've missed the point. Being a bachelor is about doing what you want, when you want, because you enjoy it and you don't give a drat whether other people like it. If you want to cum in a vase, go for it. If you want to drink until you pass out, more power to you. If you want to exercise and get in shape, awesome. What being a bachelor is not about is being an upright prick who thinks he knows better than another stranger on the internet who he's never met before. And yes, I see the irony in my post.

Bachelor rice: Put 1/2 cup of rice into nonstick pot. Put 1 cup of water into pot. Add salt and oil. Bring to boil. Boil until water is just above rice. Place tight fitting lid over pot, reduce to simmer. Simmer for ten minutes. Done. Secret bachelor trick: once rice is cooked via above method, add canned soup to rice and return to boil. Once bubbles form (or once whole mixture is hot to touch), you are ready to eat dinner for less than $1.50.
