Flat mountain dew is more or less the basic ingredient of dew-tea* (just by way of boiling instead of simple time), so I'll say it's capable of coming out pretty alright. I'd definitely call flat mountain dew one of the more palatable of flat sodas (which, to be fair, isn't saying all that much).

*The majesty that is dew-tea is simple. You make tea, only instead of water, mountain dew. Despite initial appearances, boiling soda will (probably) not explode or fizz all over the place or whatev'. It just bubbles for a while.

... or just using one of the dozen and change other torrent sites, for that matter. Or non-torrent options, which still exist fairly prolifically. TPB itself gets banned or shut down often enough people don't really seem to care all that much -- they just chill until the next incarnation or a different portal pops up, and use that instead.

Mm... well, I'd prooobably recommend asking over in the WH40k thread as to which book(s) to hunt for first, then. The warhammer stuff in general isn't exactly the most amazingly written stuff, and while there's a fair few that are quite decent, there's also some that's... less so. Especially from a fluff point of view... there's a particular author (though I've forgotten which one it is -- they're fairly notorious, in any case) common to the black library that's well known for more or less crapping on the lore, iirc. Once you've got some titles, do the normal cheap-book thing -- scout used book stores, thrift stores, your local library, that sort of thing. Online isn't really an option if you're staying clean about it, at least insofar as official warhammer stuff goes (though, as noted, there's plenty of fanfiction/fanworks and whatnot floating around these days).

It looks rather like the black library prices their online stuff gorram ridiculously, so your best bet from a low-investment entry into the associated novels is probably going to be physical instead of online (barring the yarhar option, anyway), unless you just happen to get lucky and check BL when they're doing something charitable. Which is both fairly unlikely and may not happen for a while... plus there's no telling what they offer up -- it could very well be one of the junkier novels, or just snippets or whathaveyou.

Though if you're just looking for a good read instead of specifically WH40k stuff, there's pleeeeenty of stuff online these days -- fanfiction, original fiction, ebooks that have been released into the wild for whatever reason (there's a fair few authors out there that have first volume of trilogies and whatnot online, free, to hook potential readers), gutenberg, etc., etc. Perhaps look around and all that rot, heh.

You can buy it on amazon. ~140 USD (not counting shipping) for 5 gallons of syrup (which seems to be at a 5:1 water/syrup ratio, meaning that's at least 25 gallons worth of dew.*). Looks like it's readily available to order from other places, too, and may be available locally depending on where you are. Apparently some sam's clubs stock the stuff, just as an example.

*E: Which... doesn't look like that's a bad price at all. About four cent to the ounce, which is less than what the stores around here are running. Bit more extraneous cost to get whatever you need to properly mix the stuff, but still looks like a pretty solid deal if I'm not hilariously mangling the math involved.

... so don't? Go into it being honest about being interested in and intent on maintaining an open relationship. Let your potential partner decide if they're still interested, and all that.

Probably similar in nature to the LAM, yes. Just a wider cast of characters, and the main character having a properly english innuendo name.

But no, TD1, nothing like twilight. Torrid is fine and should be encouraged, unhealthy abuse is not and shouldn't.

E: ... huh. There's Lifts-Her-Tail cosplay. I feel like I should be surprised, but... not.

Indeed.

And discuss how best to subjugate the peasants.

... is that what kids are calling it, these days?

I guess roleplay is becoming more widely accepted...

who gives a hoot when your meals are

It's actually kinda' helpful for folks that give a shit about other people. Lets folks know when/how much other folks they care about have eaten, in a fairly concise and simple format.

Except the dictionary definition of "dinner" isn't "the third meal of the day", it's "the main meal of the day".

Dictionary can get stuffed up a fried chicken's cloaca. Dinner is third meal.

More practically, the functional use of that stuff varies by region in the culture I'm ensconced in. Sometimes it is third meal, sometimes it's evening meal, sometimes it's main meal. Depends on where you're at, and how it's used colloquially. I've taken to using a first/second/third thing, and advocating others to do so as well, for reasons mentioned above. It helps communicate in a way the traditional use doesn't.
