If anyone else was flirting with going bigger, I just put in $500 to bitcoin, plus the $60 I started with, and its up to $617 now. I can keep reporting on it, if anyone else is interested or wants to invest vicariously.

Where did you get $500 from?

@146 I.Q. Magical thinker got me hyped.

Saved from previous jobs, which I didn;t need to spend seeing as I'm living with my parents currently. I'm pretty frugal usually. But this is one of those occasions where an otherwise indulgent expenditure could actually crack up to be good choice. I mean, its veritable gambling on my part.

I'm pretty frugal usually.

Just made a Vichy 75 yesterday, a French 75 (champagne, gin, lemon) with a splash of jagermeister. And it actually worked well I thought.

Still haven't fine-tuned the recipe, but I was thinking about using some proportion regarding the german occupation. Not sure if all of france was occupied, or just a portion, and maybe that ratio can figure into the recipe. Or some other such proportion.

Willing to grant my demons a certain allowance, metastable, and so on. But I;m not gonna lie you have me pinned down pretty well here.

One glass of champagne in a year is hardly evidence of an obscenely debauched lifestyle is it? Even the frugal are allowed the odd nice thing once in a blue moon aren't they?

Lifesaver.

Precisely. I'd argue that high taste doesn;t require high standards, but I do get that I;m choosing to make these concessions.
