if you drink it regularly, my guess is you are somewhat addicted to the caffeine and will have withdrawal symptoms if you stop drinking it.

I don’t have withdrawal when I stop drinking it, and I’ve stopped for weeks and months in the past. I keep going back to it because it’s just a habit, and I do like the smell of it.

This is pretty much me. I drink it because I’m thirsty & it’s there…and doesn’t have* calories.

I mean, it’s been almost a decade at this point. I don’t get addicted to anything but food.

Update from about 1.5 hours ago on CNN.

The supply crunch appears to be much worse in some major metro areas. Here’s a look at some of the hardest-hit cities, according to GasBuddy, an app that tracks fuel demand, prices and outages.

  • Nearly three-quarters — 73% — of gas stations in Pensacola, Florida, are impacted.
  • About 72% of gas stations are reporting outages in Raleigh, North Carolina.
  • Outages are impacting 71% of the stations in metro Charlotte, North Carolina.
  • Nearly 60% of stations are impacted in Atlanta.

Um, and what “high price” did you pay?
SoCal’er here, about to ask you to hold my beer.

One of the benefits of the pandemic is that I almost never need to fill the tank. So I while it looked a bit high, I don’t recall. I’ve become completely price-insensitive re gasoline.

Laughs in canadian. Eh-eh-eh-eh.
Don’t even get me started on liquour prices. $50+ for a case of beer.
I sometimes see people buying cigarettes at the gas station. $20 a pack. A PACK. Holy cow batman. And I’m pretty sure that’s generally a low income addiction, which makes it worse.

You have to convert to USD on this forum.

Also $50+ for beer, wtf happened while I was gone?

I think the beer pipeline was disturbed.

I’m on an airplane. We have been instructed to place our roller bags in the overhead bin wheels-first and then flip it π/2 radians so that it’s taller & skinny. Dude puts his in there sideways (and broad-side-down) - so that the wheels are to the left & the handle is to the right taking up as much room as possible. :hsmack: :duh:

It’s times like these where I become more likely to support capital punishment.
