Mr. Bean... and the "Reliant" Robin.

Well, we didn't actually get the "Reliant" Robin in the U.S.A. because our drunk drivers who lost their licenses usually just keep driving cars or drive 49cc mopeds.

I'm pretty sure the Reliant Robin was made for the coal miners who lost their licenses drinking and driving and the Reliant Robin has a roof and possibly heat and maybe, just maybe, even an air conditioner which isn't completely necessary in the U.K. so the British definitely figured out how to drink and drive better than the USA it would seem which only allows under 50cc mopeds (some call them scooters) last I checked.

I always thought it was funny how people though Corona and Dos Equis and the like were "authentic" mexican beers.

  Beer in Mexico
  
  History of beer in Mexico dates from the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. While Mesoamerican cultures knew of fermented alcoholic beverages, including a corn beer, long before the 16th century, European style beer brewed with barley was introduced with the Spanish invasion soon after Hernán Cortés's arrival. Production of this beer here was limited during the colonial period due to the lack of materials and severe restrictions and taxes placed on the product by Spanish authorities. After the Mexican War of Independence, these restrictions disappeared, and the industry was permitted to develop. Furthermore, the arrival of German immigrants and the short-lived empire of Austrian Maximilian I in the 19th century provided the impetus for the opening of many breweries in various parts of the country. By 1918, there were 36 brewing companies, but over the 20th century, the industry consolidated until today, only two corporations, Grupo Modelo (now owned by AB InBev) and Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma formerly known as FEMSA Cerveza (now owned by Heineken) control 90% of the Mexican beer market. This industry is one of the most prevalent in the country, with over 63% of the...

Most "mexican" beers are actually German recipes brought by those same settlers too.

That I did not know. I think Germans influenced Japanese beer too.

Same here, I want to say the only "mexican" beer I liked was Dos Equis dark or whatever it is called.

When I looked it up to see what type it was so I could try more of that style is when I discovered that most mexican beers were German recipes and that's when I realized that I mostly liked German beer, especially "bock" type beer.

I don't drink anymore but if I were to drink a beer I'd probably drink a Shiner Blonde or Chimay blue.

I've noticed that many mexicans in the us drink budweiser or sometimes bud light.

I guess it is cheaper than the "mexican" beers?

I think it was Dos Equis Amber but its been more than ten years so I can't say for sure haha.

This is from the Dos Equis wikipedia page:

"Dos Equis (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈdos ekis]) is a lager that was originally brewed by a German-born Mexican brewer."

That's what shocked me about how they drink beer in the U.K.

I heard about someone who moved to the USA from the UK and would keep cases of beer in the garage and drink them at room temp.

@Dan_Hulson do people still drink room temp beer in the UK pretty often or was that an old timer British thing?

I can't drink warm beer but I also don't like it to be near freezing either like some people do.

A room temp beer probably feels even more like "food" than a drink than cold beer does.

Good point. The fella I'm referring to lived in the southern U.S. though so room temp but still drinkable would probably be around 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit or 21.1-29.4 Celsius.

Same, I think I could maybe drink a beer that was below 70 degrees Fahrenheit or 21.1 Celsius but not much above that.

So what kind of food do they serve then? Mostly sandwiches I'd guess?

Speaking of British food, I think I'm about to make some battered fish filets with malt liquor sauce and some french fries, or "fish and chips" to you, right?

One of these days I'm going to take a trip to the UK, Germany, and maybe France and some other European countries and if/when I do I'm going to stop in some pubs and see what it is like.

Also, some of the HK G3 replicas and FAL replicas aren't too bad either.

They're pretty reliable and almost as accurate as an AR-10 style rifle. Some get 1-2moa with good ammo (sometimes less but it is rare) and 2-3 moa with bulk ammo.

If you can catch the match grade .308 on sale you can get it for ~$1.25 a round while the bulk brass stuff is between $0.75 and $1.00 per round which makes it a no brainer to go ahead and get match grade .308.

If 6.5cm ever comes down to .308 prices then I think I'd rather have that, ignoring parts commonality and ammo popularity in a SHTF situation that is.

They're not too bad but I'd recommend looking into Aero Precision or slowly building one yourself using LMT parts.

With an AR-10 you're better off getting something pre built and of good quality since they can be finicky. I'd probably get a Daniel Defense/LMT/Knight's Armament if I were going gas impingement or get a HK MR-762 and be done with it and not have to worry about much ever again.

You could also get a Smith & Wesson M&P 10 for not much more than the PSA and it is a better rifle out of the box, especially if you get the "Performance Center" package or whatever it is called.

Swap out the barrel for a stainless steel Criterion barrel and put a Geissele SSA-E trigger in it plus a good optic ($1,500+ and something like a 3-15x for a .308/6.5cm) and you'd have a nice mid range setup.

They've gotten a lot better but I think they're still around $750-$1000 and for a little more you can get a better rifle.

If I were going to but an AR-10 and only had that much to spend I'd just get the Smith & Wesson M&P 10.

This one is a good deal. You get a better lower & upper receiver, better bolt carrier group, and better barrel than the PSA plus you can upgrade to a free float rail from someone like Centurion Arms for ~$200 and get a barrel from Criterion for ~$300 and have a great rifle for around $1500 once everything is done.

Ignore the "out of stock, no backorder" message because they get them in pretty frequently.

Glad you're off of it friend. Xanax and alcohol withdrawals can actually kill you (they can cause seizures) while opiate withdrawals only make you wish you were dead.

Someone I was friends with killed themselves because they couldn't kick opiates.

If anyone who ever reads this has an issue with these kind of things, please don't be afraid to ask for help if you can't kick the habit on your own. There are ways to kick it and it's better to have some help getting off of them than to just give up because you can't do it on your own.

He's right, using fresh ground salt, and other spices too, like that makes a big difference.

Cooking for yourself is so much better than buying fast food type garbage and it takes about the same amount of time to cook "good" food as it does to cook bad food.

True, I just like to have coarse ground himalayan sea salt. The fresh ground kosher stuff is alright too. You're right about salt not losing anything though.

There is a good Gordon Ramsay video that shows the basics to invest in to start cooking good food and it isn't as expensive as you think. It's still one of those "buy once, cry once" things though.

German (or siwss) knives, French pans, etc.

Yeah, most store bought food is over salted and not the good kind either.

I'm hoping that you know what I mean by fresh ground though. I just grind it to get it to a different size depending on what I'm making and like I said before, I don't think most people would notice the difference to buy anything fancier than sea salt or the himalayan stuff.

The main reason I like grinding my own salt instead of buying the iodized stuff or super coarse stuff is for salting meats.
