Ackshually unless you accept the David Lynch movie as canon, guild navigators don’t fold space, that’s what Holtzman engines do. Navigators use their prescience to know which routes through space are safe because they’re the paths where they’re not dead in the future.

    Hey science people, would I be dead? Breathing in a full tank of this vaporized into my lungs overnight?

    Hi, professional distiller here. You won't get drunk from inhaling ethanol fumes, but it will give you a headache and smell like shit.

    This is the best post I've ever seen.

    No, seriously. I used to own a 2400 baud modem - this is peak content. It's all downhill from here...

    It’s not even a good deal. I can get a decent liter for $8 in the states

    Iirc I can get a handle (1.5L) of Svedka (so, not even rotgut) for like $12 or so. Or drop a 20 on a handle and get moderately acceptable bourbon. Like not good bourbon, but if you're 23 and broke you can enjoy it as a sipping whiskey. Unfortunately I've picked up a taste for scotch and good whiskey instead

    I fell in love with good whiskey. But that’s not a habit I can truly afford to drink on like a Saturday I’ll get hammered. If I’m going full tilt it’s svedka

    $35 U.S.

    So, $8.75/L or $6.56 for 750ml

    Walmart near me sells, their cheapest 750ml bottle for $5.96

    $5.96 USD for 750ml is wild to me and I'm only a few provinces over from Alberta. It's nearly $20 CAD for the cheapest 750ml bottle you can get here in Ontario

    edit: also being able to buy a $5 mickey of vodka from Walmart might be the most American-ass thing I've seen

    Kirkland is cheaper, is that a Nevada state logo on the bottle? Do they make potatoes? (i'm half blind) Oh, Alberta, this is Canadian dollars. Yep, it's cheaper than Kirkland.

    I don't know why my strikethrough isn't working.

    Retailers have recognized that shoppers caught on to the concept that bulk priced items are cheaper than smaller packages. They've began to flip that concept on its head. I ran into this today when i found the smaller bottle of cumin to be cheaper per ounce than the large bottle. I expect that they've done the about the same thing here where people will expect the bottom shelf stuff to be cheaper especially with the novelty of it being packaged in a flimsy milk bottle.

    That's a lot of the stuff. But I am getting pretty close to those levels. I should slow down but also why should I.
