Over the last few weeks I've become a bit obsessed with sparkling water, and now I'm looking for recommendations.

Perrier is by far my favorite so far. I love how strong and persistent the carbonation feels, the way the bubbles really "bite" in your mouth, and its dry, clean taste with a mineral profile that really suits me. The only downside is that it's a bit too expensive to be my everyday sparkling water.

Here's what I've tried so far:

- Perrier (France) – My benchmark. Strong, aggressive carbonation with bubbles that really pop and linger in your mouth. I also love its dry, clean taste and mineral profile. It's probably the closest thing to my ideal sparkling water.

- Pedras Salgadas (Portugal) – This is actually the water that got me into sparkling water in the first place. I really like its dry character, but I wish the carbonation felt a bit stronger.

- San Celestino (Italy) – My current everyday choice. I enjoy it quite a lot and it's affordable, but it doesn't quite have the same punch as Perrier.

- Fonter (Spain) – I really liked the density of the bubbles, but they felt quite small, so they didn't have the same aggressive sensation as Perrier. I also found it noticeably more mineral-tasting than Perrier, which wasn't really what I was looking for.

- Vichy Catalán (Spain) – Not really my thing. I find it too salty/mineral and, to me, surprisingly light on carbonation.

- San Pellegrino (Italy) – Too soft for my taste. Not enough carbonation.

- Spa (Belgium) – Nice, clean and refreshing, but not something I'd choose as my everyday sparkling water.

So what I'm really looking for is a sparkling water with very high carbonation—a dense, aggressive fizz that really bites in the mouth and stays lively for a long time—while still having a dry, clean taste and a mineral profile similar to Perrier, without being overly salty or heavily mineral-tasting.

It doesn't have to be Spanish—I just need to be able to buy it somewhere in Spain (ideally around Barcelona or online without crazy shipping costs).

I've heard about Gerolsteiner Sprudel, Topo Chico, Vöslauer Extra Sparkling, Rhodius, Adelholzener, Stiftsquelle, Wilkinson, etc., but I have no idea which of these are actually available in Spain.

What are the most aggressively carbonated sparkling waters you've tried, and where can I buy them in Spain?

I've recently started using CBD flower mainly because I'm looking for something that can help with my back pain and sleeping better. A secondary goal is to reduce how much THC cannabis I smoke, since a significant part of the cannabis I used to smoke was also to help with those issues.

So far, I've tried flowers from Green Break, and honestly, I've been really happy with them. The quality, taste, appearance and effects have all been great. The only downside is that their higher-quality flowers are a bit expensive for me, usually around €4–7/g.

I'd therefore like to find something with a better quality/price ratio. I'm especially interested in good-quality indoor or hydroponic flowers, ideally with a relatively high CBD content. What matters most to me is finding something that has a good overall experience — good effects, taste, aroma and appearance — while being more affordable.

I'm based in Spain, Barcelona, but I'm happy to order online.

What brands, shops or specific strains would you recommend? And if you've tried Green Break, is there anything you consider better value for money?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to remember an animated movie from my childhood for years, and there's only one scene I can clearly remember. I'm hoping someone here recognizes it.

Here's what I remember:

- It was almost certainly an animated movie, not a TV series.

- I think it was traditional 2D animation, although there is a small chance it could have been early 3D. My memory strongly leans toward 2D.

- I watched it sometime during the 2000s, but the movie itself could be older.

- The art style felt somewhat Disney-like, although I'm not sure it was actually made by Disney.

- The setting was a small, fairly modern village or town, not medieval or fantasy (at least in the scene I remember).

The scene goes something like this:

The main character is very innocent and naive. He meets an elderly man outside the old man's house (or very close to it). The old man looks exhausted.

The protagonist asks him what's wrong.

The old man replies that he has insomnia. I specifically remember him using the actual word "insomnia".

The protagonist doesn't know what insomnia means, so the old man explains that it means he wants to sleep, he's tired, but he simply can't fall asleep.

The protagonist is confused and says something along the lines of:

«"If you're tired... why don't you just sleep?"»

He genuinely cannot understand the concept, and the old man has to explain that that's exactly what insomnia is.

I don't remember anything else about the plot, unfortunately. I don't even remember whether the characters were humans or animals anymore.

Does this scene sound familiar to anyone? Even wild guesses are welcome because this has been driving me crazy for years.

Thanks in advance!

I've been checking out this model at various stores for a while now... To be honest, I'm surprised that the lowest price I've seen for the 512 GB version is the current price of 959€/$1090 on Amazon Spain. Should I buy it?

Buenas, llevo alrededor de año y medio buscando mi segundo coche para usarlo como diario.

¿Por qué tanto tiempo? Porque en España, entre la especulación, el tema de las pegatinas y la obsesión actual de los fabricantes con la tracción delantera, parece casi imposible encontrar un RWD decente a buen precio en 2026.

Después de perder muchísimo tiempo mirando modelos infladísimos de precio (E36, MX-5, IS200, CLK Kompressor, etc.), pensé: “voy a buscar algo RWD que no quiera nadie y así será más barato”. Ahí fue cuando empecé a informarme sobre el E46 Compact y todas sus versiones.

Me sorprendió ver que incluso este coche empieza a tener especuladores pidiendo más de 5k, pero sobre todo me impresionó la cantidad de motores/versiones que existen para el pequeñín.

Al principio estaba bastante convencido porque, quitando algunos iluminados con los precios, parecía de los pocos trasera relativamente accesibles. Pero cuanto más leo, más opiniones contradictorias encuentro sobre fiabilidad, mantenimiento e incluso diseño.

Busco algo con lo que divertirme un poco, sentir que realmente conduzco un BMW, notar el culo vivo en lluvia… pero sin arruinarme en averías, mantenimiento o consumo.

Si alguien tiene o ha tenido un 316ti, 318ti, 325ti, 318td o 320td, agradecería muchísimo experiencias reales y recomendaciones.
