I GOT THIS
Charlie's soap (liquid). Comes in a 5gal bucket for about $100, lasts for months.
Buy a 1-gal bottle and the pump that goes on it. One squirt per load. If you like it, buy the 5-gal, refill the 1-gal forever. Otherwise, you're only out the one time.

I have a Facebook friend who's husband/boyfriend left her 'suddenly.' When is it socially acceptable to tell her to stop posting 14 fucking 'I'm in pain,' 'I trusted and I was hurt' photos daily? It has been over a month now.
I am pretty sure he is eating up all this attention..

I hate that video where they boil the Coca Cola. People are using it as a spring board to say 'EWWW...look what it turns into! Nasty! No wonder it'll kill you! All the CHEMICALS."
...and I am sitting here like: "It is a caramelization. Get some cane sugar and toss it on heat You'll begin the same process. It's just that there dye and shit in coke so it looks worst. Coke will probably speed along the process of killing you...but not because of what's in this video."
Do people even fact check this shit or look up what is actually happening?
...though that is a lot of sugar.

The FDA doesn't, why should they?
Seriously, the FDA recently made a statement that it considered aging cheese on wooden boards to be unsafe. They backpedaled like hell when they were called out on their bullshit, but they still made the ignorant statement in the first place.
The answer is: never. I mean, annoying as it is, it's her FB page, so she can post whatever she wants. So, if you still want to be friends with her, filter her. I've had to do this with a few friends. I enjoy their company in person, but I hate their Facebook posts. So I took them off my news feed, and every couple of weeks/months, I'll click on their page to see how they're doing and not have to see that crap daily. I have a friend who divorced 3?4? years ago, and still posts stuff like that CONSTANTLY. Like, multiple times a day. But her son is adorable, so every once in a while I check on him or look for new photos.I have a Facebook friend who's husband/boyfriend left her 'suddenly.'

The dye is "caramel coloring," which is basically sugar that is burnt to use as brown food coloring.

So is Pepsi - Dyes = Crystal Pepsi... then does Coke - Dyes = Crack?
It may not be such a good idea to work on a touch screen laptop while eating fried chicken.

That's not quite accurate. First off the sugar may be derived from any of a number of carbohydrates, including wood pulp and other stuff. While this alone isn't necessarily problematic, there may be alkalies and salts added to control the process and get the right amount of decomposition to the sugars. A wide variety of compounds fall under "caramel color" and the result of this is that, depending on the process and raw ingredients, certain carcinogens can be produced, and studies suggest that these carcinogens might be present in high enough quantities to pose a health risk. The FDA says the levels are fine, but they're also the idiots who think that aging cheese on wood boards should be banned. Here's a story from Consumer Reports. Sadly, the issue has a lot of hype surrounding it, so it will likely be a while before we know for certain if there really is any health risk, but it's not as simple as it just being burnt sugar.
as an environmental scientist I'd like you to know that soda is the least of your worries for daily exposure to carcinogenic/mutagenic/teratogenic compounds. Go be worried about something else unless you drink a 24 pack a day.
Pepsi-dyes does not equal Crystal Pepsi, sadly. When they removed the coloring, they also dialed back on the cola flavor.
All *I* wanted from Crystal Pepsi was plain old Pepsi without the caramel coloring, no other changes. But noooo...
Right. I said that it was derived from "sugar," not that it was derived from "sucrose." I know that the two tend to be used interchangeably, I probably should've explained that better and headed off the confusion.[DOUBLEPOST=1402693644,1402693512][/DOUBLEPOST]
If you drink that much soda/day, you're probably gonna suffer from the excess caffeine and phosphoric acid before you suffer from the -genics.

I've seen cola without brown dye, its kind of an off yellow/tan color, really interesting stuff. actually if you are drinking from an opaque container there is no reason to add dye honestly, other than making it look the way socially we expect. My neieces and nephews drink Hi-C without dye and its the same strange color, blew my mind the first time I cut a juice box open and poured it out.
as to the why a case, thats the amount where the shit that will kill you can actually have a negative effect on your health short-term. I never said that the other stuff wouldn't do it faster. Mounting evidence is showing that heavy caffeine intake is really bad for your vascular system even short term.
I found this jawsome guy at work (Value Village) today. Had to buy him.
He was so dirty, though, I had to clean him. His teeth and mouth were riddled with dirt to the point that I actually got an old toothbrush and brushed his teeth.
Totally worth it, though, because STREET SHARKS!

Like your prom night!
Though seriously, Street Sharks were the coolest toys. Never watched the show, but those toys looked great.
GOD I loved those toys, I found a Street Shark puppet at a flea market a while ago. My favorite had to be the Hammerhead guy, he could launch his face at people like a sneak attack.
Went to my friend's house to hang out, and we decided to play a PS2 game. He said his sister's was better so we went into her room and...UGH! A horrible mix of uncleaned mouse cages and pabst blue ribbon cans. Her room looked like the hologram universe of a 10 year old and a college student.

The hardest part of getting new ukulele videos up is printing the sheet music. It takes so long to memorize, and I don't want to pay too much for it and the printer at work is just so damn slow and I don't want to be judged for printing non-work things. Although I found a Victoria's Secret receipt in there last week. Wedding season. I need a printer for my home.

I confess I almost never finish video games. They just get so friggin' repetitive after a while. On top of that they drag it out so that reviewers won't complain about short play times, which I just find annoying. I'd rather play through the plot and then have the option to continue with storyless gameplay ad nauseum if I so wish.
Well fuck, there goes my 'how to get through every day' strategy.
I've reached the point in my current project where I've fallen in love with the characters, and now I feel bad for all the horrible things that are going to happen to them.
Oh well, onward.

I never beat the final boss.
My wife used to do something like this; she'd get to just before the end of a game, and then stop playing because she didn't want it to be over.
My reasons for not beating some games all vary, sometimes I just get stuck and never beat it, sometimes I just get bored, and sometimes I just reset my game file to get a better score. The latter being every old school Sonic and Mario game.
The only time I quit a game that's too long is if it's not fun to play. I do sometimes force myself, but if a game is fun, its length doesn't bother me, which is why some games I'll play through multiple times.
If there's a game where I'm only interested in the story, and it's not a choice-driven story like The Walking Dead, there are let's plays. Better to save the money.

Same reason why I never finished Death Note, ending was spoiled to me and I lost all interest.I barely got through the first part of Mass Effect 3, heard about the ending, then was all . . .
. . . and I haven't gone back since.
