If you’re in the sand box, does it count as a blumpkin? Or is it toilet specific.

That’s awesome. You could probably run a proper kiln in place of your oven if you felt like it.

Michelle Carter was convicted of manslaughter for encouraging her boyfriend to commit suicide by text

I agree, it would be great if we had more varied and tailored options.

If someone has been involuntarily committed it means they’ve already shown an intention to harm themselves or others. So the goal is not to stop them from feeling bad but to physically prevent them from doing harm.

If I had my way, regulations would require a physical connection for all door handles, and not just that a secondary physical release be available. I don’t know how you would go about finding injuries associated with each design as a layperson, but I bet there’s a death or two associated with each novel design.

An old man roasted in his Cadillac XLR because the battery was dead and he didn’t know where the secondary release was. I think it’s under the seat on that car. I don’t care how cool that electronic door release was, or if the old man was negligent in not knowing his exits; it wasn’t worth his life.

I thought we were all looking at the same 10 posts here!

They might be, food photography is weird

That’s how I like to see us too, but I’ve definitely met some Z hating millennials.

I met a fellow “old millennial” recently who said “we’re the last generation to be raised right”. I disagree, but hearing it from a guy my age really cemented me in old man status.

Then he told me he had 3 kids. Who’s responsible for raising that generation!? Lol.

Haha, fair enough. I seem to have lost track of the years somewhere in there.

The creamers and syrups are very weird. Some people here are passionate about them too. It’s always a mixed bag when someone says they’re picky about their coffee.

My go-to is a big pour over, maybe 15g of coffee and 500mL of water. Of course, being American, I measure everything with plastic spoons from McDonalds instead of a scale. I like espresso too, but I’m not big on lattes. Generally no cream, sugar, or anything added.

On the other end of the spectrum is diner coffee. Usually strong but stale. It’s not my favorite but it has a special place in my heart.

If you ever do meet an American coffee snob ask them what they like. We have a whole variety of them.

It’s a good reminder of how influenced we are by our surroundings, even when we try to be aware of the effect. Or maybe especially when we try to be aware.

I was staying strong until I saw they were already sundowning windows 10. 10! They just came out with that shit. I have no intention of upgrading to the latest advertising package.

This is the first time I’ve thought about Tucker in months. In a way I’m glad, because it reminded me that he’s not often in my life anymore, but if we could all just stop mentioning him until he fades completely that would be great.

Wouldn’t you know it, I’ve been all over Europe and they don’t make it quite like I do at home either.

So what’s this Australian secret coffee? If you don’t tell me I know another Australian I can press.

We do have different types of coffee, but you might have to go to a specialty shop to get it like you do at home. If you’re talking about regular restaurants it’s probably good advice.

God damn crab people!

I’m going to go out of my way to make my solutions more crab-like now. Maybe they’ll get better.

I agree! And I like to think that, as he looked over his several bottles worth of dressing in a beverage cup, he did learn to consider his words more carefully.

But I didn’t mind the whole experience. It’s not my dressing and it made for a pretty funny story.

It certainly creates an incentive to act in ways that please the customer at the expense of the business. But the restaurant controls your access to the customer, so it’s best to tread lightly.

It’s been a long time, but I used to work at a corporate dining place that did a lot of take out business. I once had a man ask for “as much thousand island dressing as possible”.

I was going to just give him two portions, but my coworker convinced me to fill a large soda cup instead. Why not? We worked for tips after all.

The customer was pretty bewildered. He clearly didn’t really want that much dressing.

I had Neatos for years. They worked great until they didn’t; I always had to do a lot of troubleshooting. Now I have a Wyze vacuum, which I think is a rebrand of a larger Chinese brand. It doesn’t clean as well as the Neatos, but it’s had no problems so far, and it was much cheaper.

There’s plenty of reviews out there if you want to get into it, and it does seem like some of the more expensive ones out there have some really nice features. But if you’ve been on the fence for a while my advice is to pick a well reviewed affordable one and go for it.

Once you have something cleaning your floors you’ll have more time to research which one is the ultimate vacuum.
