I've been pounding La Croix knockoffs in an attempt to end my diet coke addiction. They're not bad. You just have to push through the first three weeks until you forget what flavor is.

I’m wanting to make a smart Aleck comment about water on an electrical fire, Greentree, but I’m wondering if the co2 carbonation of the sparkling water comes into play?

Sorry next time I will tell the fire to pause for a second while I Uber to wegmans for some baking soda.

I’ve got a Weber original premium that’s been my daily driver for 5ish years.
I still use it for fancy things like ribs and deer meat, but that little charbroil portable is just so quick and convenient for everything else.
I need to get the adapter for a full size propane tank.
best $35 I ever spent.

So are we gonna get the full story?
were you in traffic?
Was it like backdraft when you opened the hood?
did you shake up the sparkling water first and then crack it open and spray the flames or just pour it on them?

Spindrift? For long range 6,5 Creed shooters I bet. mtmuley
It turns out it was not the courthouse, it was a building under construction next to the courthouse. It was a big fire though

Honestly, it’s on brand and not that exciting.
I was taking the three most unflappable women in the world to dinner, my mom, sister (from packraft hunt), and my wife. We were heading into the parking structure at the train station, there is a big speed bump, and I drive like Im in F&F, or as my wife says real f-in darty.
So we big jolt, the cardboard holding the battery in place popped out of place and the metal bar holding the battery in place made contact with the positive terminal.
Car stalled, and I coasted it into a parking spot:
Sister “Your cars smoking.”
Wife “ I think that’s fire
”Me “ Oh shit is that battery acid on my tire”
Mom “You do need a new car”
We all get out of the car, I pop the hood as I exit and open it up. There is not an inconsequential size flame on the battery.
Context; flip flops, shorts, loose button down.
I casually poor our the remainder of my beverage on the fire and quench the flames.
We look at each other for a second, shrug, close the hood and head for the T.
That’s tomorrow me’s problem.
We had an awesome dinner.
This morning I surveyed the damage, guy at autozone was impressed but also not… at the state of the battery I brought in; I covered it news paper and then cling wrapped it like a euro mount covered in developer.
He called everyone over to see what the dumbass brought in…
They didn’t have the OEM cables to replace the ones that burned up. The plastic housing burned. I had to cut the old ones put them in a new terminal hub, and cover them with electrical tape. That got me home, I need to buy OEM ones at some point.

LaCroix is 40 years old. It’s like the Tab of flavored sparkling water. Why anyone still drinks that poison is unfathomable. Fortunately, beverage technology has come a LONG way in 40 years. Here’s my new favorite.
No idea if it will put a car fire out though... in case of emergency better stick with the terminator juice.
