Benny and June 2017: Hero Value's quest for another bracelet (POG PUB/LC/NSFW) - Page 15

I had a flash of inspiration and I used a knife to saw off the tip of the thing sticking up inside of the cap, which resulted in a lot of little pieces of plastic breaking free and possibly falling inside. There was no other seal inside so apparently that was the proper way to open this thing despite there being no instructions to that effect.

Stupidest ****ing packaging I've ever seen in my life.

It's semi standard for diy sealants and the like in the uk. I pretty much always take 5 minutes of futile squeezing a sealed tube before I remember.

The family and I are headed to Denver, and I need to rent a car. Do you guys get the Rental Insurance (the Loss Damage Waiver thing)?

No. Most insurance covers most of It, and a large # of credit cards cover much of it too.

Granted: In my opinion insurance in general is a -EV game, so for small dollar amounts I don't do it ever. Obv things like a house are exceptions because RoR and all that.

I'm a fan of Bold flavored chex-mix. What's your homemade recipe?

I have never found the bagged stuff all that great, it just doesn't duplicate what I remember from growing up. It's just bland and way too heavy on pretzels and breadsticks.

Basic recipe is 3C Wheat Chex, 2C Rice Chex, 2C pretzel sticks, 1 1/2 to 2C peanuts, a stick of butter, 2T worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, garlic salt, onion powder.

If I ever remember to do it I keep meaning to attempt a spicy version. Also think I'll try tossing in some Cheerios, can't remember if mom put those in or not.

I also leave out the wheat chex now and just go with corn and rice. It's so much better than the store stuff.

It's much better without the pretzels and with mixed nuts instead of just peanuts.

edit: you need all 3 Chex in there too, don't sleep on the corn. Missouri senator John Danforth was the heir to the Ralston-Purina fortune btw, old St. Louis money.
