Experiment with adding a few ice chips to your coffee until you reach the desired speed of consumption.

A customer gave me an RTIC tumbler, think YETI but cheaper w/the same performance. Not spill proof and the lid is not insulated, but even then the coffee stays hot for hours.

Yup, I got a Yeti and an ARTIC from my last job. I've found that if I keep the lid off, the top of the coffee is sippable within a reasonable amount of time, and it basically keeps the whole thing drink-ably hot for hours. If you put the lid on, it's mouth scorch city all day long.

Just remove the lid for a few minutes to let it cool quicker. I have a couple of those things too...careful with pressing the drink button the first couple of times after filling it up (unless you actually like steam in the face, then carry on...)

Put flask in freezer for five minutes, or pour coffee/tea from height. They're good flasks, just too good.

Saw recently a poll found 51% of GOP members polled agreed with Trump that the press was an enemy of the people. *sigh*

So I have to decide on my new ride by the end of next week. Got it narrowed down to the Kia Niro or the Hyundai Tucson. I really like both of them a lot so it's going to be a tough choice. Tucson has the AWD, is slightly bigger, more cargo space - which I need - panoramic sunroof and more power - I'll be getting the turbo model if I do.

The Niro on the other hand has a nicer interior, only has regular sunroof, but just crushes everything else - in the Xover/Suv vehicles - in fuel efficiency, even a lot of the plugin hybrids. Official line is 50mpg I believe but there are guys on Youtube showing they're averaging 60+ MPG - 66 MPG is the best I've seen. So while it doesn't have the AWD or other sexiness I'm only filling up the tank once for every three times I would be in the Tucson. That's substantial over the long haul.

Yesterday I spent the day driving a few of the Tucsons of various trim levels, and the day before I took a Niro out for a 2 hour drive. Ugh, it may come down to flipping a coin as the price on both will be the same - likely about 30k on the nose for their respective trim levels. Anyway, pretty excited as it's been a decade since I've bought a new ride.

Then I'll be breaking it in with a road trip to the US second or third week of Sept. Me and the broshack are deciding either to head up to Lambeau and see the Pack and check out Milwaukee and Chi-town over 3 or 4 days, or go Detroit-Cleveland-Buffalo and back home. In which case we'll catch a Lions game or one in the Dog Pound. Anyone care to chime on where it would be more fun to see a game - Detroit? Cleveland? Buffalo? Chicago? Green Bay? Gotta' do a bunch of house and clothes shopping along the way too.

Love my Contigo mugs. My first one lost the vacuum seal after I dropped it 20 feet onto concrete. Closing the lid at the right temperature is key.

That's 20K more than all the deaths for the entirety of the Vietnam war.

Still rockin' my ancient Thermos that keeps a drink cold in 100+ heat while sitting in the sun for hours.

I did some quick research on fentanyl and it's inbred cousin carfentanil aka elephant tranquilizer, both of which have entered the drug chain. For reference: fentanyl is 100 times more powerful than heroin and carfentanil is 100 times more powerful than fentanyl.
You hear the term grain being used, as in "1 grain of fentanyl is deadly".
So what is a grain. In the example above, the grain being referred to is an unscientific measurement; a grain of sand, salt or sugar.
In the measurement world a grain weighs ~65 milligrams (0.065 grams). Here is a picture of what 1 grain of gold looks like.
Reference that with time release fentanyl patch that deliver anywhere from 12 (0.000012 grams) to 100 micrograms/hour.

War, huh, yeah
What is it good for?

I'm sure that Jared Kushner, who Trump put in charge of solving the opioid crisis, will have this fixed very soon.

No, that's 14K more than all of the US soldier deaths in Vietnam. More than 280,000 allied soldiers died, more than 425,000 NVA/VC soldiers died, and over 625,000 North and South Vietnamese civilians were killed by both sides.

You're right, I was referring only to US military deaths, from memory at that. Still, 14K more puts the number into perspective.

Will he do this from his jail cell or does he qualify for work release?
