Yeah, I don’t think technique really matters much. But the quality of the beans and how they’re brewed before freeze drying does (especially as most commercial instant coffee is extracted in a way that would be considered entirely undrinkable for regular coffee so that producers can get more product from their beans) and that’s where those specialty instant coffees differentiate themselves - by being brewed well, and coming from actually good coffee beans.

I want to hear more about that $100 hot tub.

I didn’t see a $100.00 tub but they do offer this tub for $599.00
I own a version of this tub (branded differently) and I can tell you that you will not get more than three adults into it.
Thinking it might be good for storing potable water in the after times. Or Nutella.

This feels dumb until I think about credit card rewards and the 2% cashback on the executive membership.

I was about to say that the people in that tub look like they’re photoshopped in (or someone really messed up the lighting on set), but I guess that settles that question.
Edit: looking a tad closer I’m now 90% sure someone just cropped out the people and water from a different tub and scaled it to fit this one.

I could make a Photoshop fail blog out of every single inflatable-pool ad I’ve seen in the last 10 years. Also, air mattresses. One wonders whether the advertisers actually think nobody will realise that when it says “length: 180 cm”, the well-endowed bikini lady reclining on the thing in the picture should really take up more than two-thirds of that.

You can get electric ones (they are, apparently, for ‘distilling essential oils’. Suuuuure they are buddy) pretty cheap. Looks like a fancy kettle, and makes acceptably good spirits. They just burble away on the kitchen counter and drink comes out of it. My brother’s father in law has one, and brings several bottles to any party. I’ve gotten very drunk on Harry’s booze, and I’m not blind or dead, soooo.
ETA: This is the one Grampa Harry has:

Sure, but do they come with silver bullets for dispatching zombies and vampires?

Putting your money into gold bricks is not a great survival strategy for uncertain times.
Putting your money into gold teeth, jewellery and chains of various link sizes is a much better option, since you can readily access it in different amounts for purposes of barter.
I mean marginal and persecuted communities have known this forever.
But white suburban preppers always gotta reinvent the wheel.

Silver prices plummeted with the advent of digital photography and cheap color printers. Should be easy to get for your werewolf hunting needs

We actually can make gold. It’s very expensive.

Fake bars. Real gold is far denser and heavier than it appears in Goldfinger

That was the best. It would snap like Styrofoam and dissolve in your mouth. The dehydrated burger patty was the worst, but at least you could take two slices of shelf-stable bread and make a dehydrated hamburger.
Modern MREs are much nicer.
