Neither one of those is an acceptable thing to drink. Try ordering some whiskey, then if you get something that isn't whiskey, scream incoherently at the bartender and hurl the glass at his head. hth.

Lately I have been drinking more and more rye. Always was a bourbon fan, so it is a natural step.

I've been drinking a lot of Bourbon recently. Mostly because I can't afford a bottle of decent scotch every couple days.

Fireball is adulterated whiskey  You wouldn't buy a gallon of gasoline, piss in it, and try to sell it to me as gas, would you?Evan William's Single Barrel is absolutely the best Bourbon for the price, bar none. has the smoothness, character and flavor of a Bourbon twice its price. Although, if I could only drink one whiskey for the rest of my life, I think it'd be Woodford Reserve. MMMMMmmmmmm E: Black Barrel or 18 year would probably be my second choice, FWIW VVVVVVVVV Elviscat fucked around with this message at 05:33 on Jun 14, 2014 |

Evan Williams is still one of my personal favorites. It's cheap but not at all bad. Of course, I also enjoy Wild Turkey 101 straight so there may possibly be something wrong with me

I liked jameson 18 slightly more than macallan 18 when I had them back to back, but it wasn't so much that the macallan was harsh or worse or anything, just a slightly different flavour. They are both about $45 a bottle though so you're not getting a deal with the jameson or anything. I've seen the bullett for $25 and really liked the rye and the bourbon. I'm more of a beer guy though. jamal fucked around with this message at 08:00 on Jun 14, 2014 |

New driver started at work last week. I've worked with him on day shifts; tonight was my first time working with him after dark. Noticed him pulling into work with his parking lights and DRLs. Asked him why he was using DRLs at night, he said those were the low beams. I asked him to show me how he turns on the high beams. Coworker: *reaches forward and turns on headlight switch* Me: .... those are your low beams Coworker: Then how do I turn on the high beams? I'm pretty sure those are the high beams.  Me: *reaches in and pulls the turn signal stalk backwards until it clicks* Coworker: ............  To be fair, it's a 95 S-10, which runs the headlights at reduced brightness whenever it's running/parking brake off (5 speed manual), and there's a separate button on the dash to turn on the headlights (it pushes the parking light switch at the same time if they're not already on), in its wonderfully 80s-90s GM interior way. And he's only owned it about 2 weeks. Still gave me a good laugh though.

Jack is excellent as a mixer, but there's so many other cheaper whiskies you can mix what's the point?

Goddamnit OnStar, stop being so bipolar. Bipolar is my job, damnit.  Gave them my new debit card #... three times in the past 2 weeks. They refunded, for some unknown reason, a full month of full retail rates to the new card. Then turned around and charged it for the same amount. Then started calling me wanting to get a new form of payment today, and swore up and down my $12.99/mo rate expired in December (they last charged me in April for $12.99 + tax). Then they say that they can't give that rate anymore; their best is $14.99, with only a tiny discount to pay by the year. They had the correct debit card on file when I talked to them today, so that's a bit of progress. I guess the lesson is don't try to change the payment method when you're on a retention plan. It took about 20 minutes on the phone to get it straightened out (... thought it was fixed, twice over), but I got a decent credit this time around. And they actually had the correct card # on file when I talked to them this time.  Nobody I've talked to (live chat, email, and phone calls) can tell me why I got an unexplained refund, it doesn't show up in any records they could find. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 10:39 on Jun 14, 2014 |

Is it an actual refund, or one of those things where they authorized the amount, then they dropped the authorization, but the timestamps were messed up so the bank showed it as a refund then a charge? I've had that happen with smaller credit unions, and USAA once. Also, do you actually use it enough to justify the 13/month? Just curious.

It was an actual refund; it's been showing for almost a week now. The charge showed up Thursday morning; you may notice it showed up as "debit card refund" in the screen shot too. There was never an authorization for that amount, and the $21.60 isn't even the plan I was supposed to be on. They swear up and down that the retention plan I was on expired on Dec 31st, but they've charged me for four months (Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr) at that rate. They never charged me for May.  USAA is really good about showing authorizations, as well as showing anticipated completed charges long before any other bank/CU I've used - to the point that if I run my card as credit at a gas pump, they show the full amount within a few minutes of leaving the gas station. My credit union takes a few days to show the complete charge (they just show the $1 preauth until then). Obviously, if I run a card as debit, the charge shows up quickly, but I've never seen a bank or CU that showed credit-based gas pump charges the same day. It gets a discount on my insurance, though since I switched to USAA for my insurance, the discount is quite a bit less than it was with Amica. I want to say it's taking about $30 per 6 months off, whereas with Amica, it was over $100/year (USAA does 6 month policies, Amica did 12 month). When I talked to OnStar today (well, yesterday now), they could see the charge, but had no record of the refund. I talked to them a few days ago about the refund, and they couldn't explain it then either. They have records of the charge though. I'm on the base OnStar plan, so it's accident reporting, car unlocking, stolen car tracking only. I've used the car unlock a couple of times (found a neat bug in the BCM that causes the car to lock the moment you close the doors in a very particular set of circumstances.. and both times I found it, the keys were sitting in the car - I keep a spare in my wallet now), I keep it 99% for the accident response, and only because I spend several hours a day in the car. Once I'm out of delivery, I'll likely drop it. tl;dr: no. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 11:41 on Jun 14, 2014 |

Yesterday I saw a Lamborghini Gallardo and managed to take some utter potato-quality photos.  Traffic was poo poo so I didn't get to gently caress around with him much but I did pull back to open up a slot, and when he opened it up the sound it made was so goddamn beautiful.

I can't loving win. I paid some computer store 80 bucks to solder a jack and now I discover why my laptop smelled faintly of electrical burning. As soon as I plug in the power adapter the light goes off so something is shorting out. Not sure if its a faulty jack on the board itself now.
