I have some very close friends, and, in the rare instance I just need to not go to yet another thing, “I can’t stop shitting.”

Mine used to register 20-30 floors climbed on short (5-10 miles) motorcycle rides across relatively flat roads.

Looks good. Just loose the frosting

I don’t have to lie to my kids about what my favorite treats taste like. I can’t pay them to eat peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. 

Usually it’s the shower head. The corrode and get stopped up really fast. The easiest ‘fix’ is to get a new one. Or dunk the one you currently use in acid (CLR) for a few minutes and try to brush out the gunk. If that doesn’t work it’s almost always the shower valve.

Speaking as the kid who, in grade school, would definitely have brought a gun to school for that purpose and would have followed through, I don’t know what I’d do if my kids ran into this situation.

Legally, if you’re in an “all party consent” state, then I’d say you are 100% legally bound to tell people about it, because even waiting for keywords may count as recording conversation**. I haven’t looked at the ToS for Google or Amazon, but I’m willing to bet that somewhere in there you’ve “given” your consent.

“Where is the gift receipt?”

Oh, was that too much to the point?

Somehow Catalina actually improved my system stability over Mojave. I was just about about to go back to High Sierra when I said “Fuck it, let’s try it”. 

If my (at the time 2 year old) saw his jacket, regardless of the weather, he would flip out until he got to wear it.  80F? “JACKEEEETTTT!!!”

A family cold forced me to keep a low impact week very recently. It didn’t hit me particularly hard at all, but with kids and all, that’s a lot of stuff that slides onto the least sick (most resilient?) plate. I want to hit it hard, but I know better.

I’m okay messing with the sugar cube and doing it ‘right’. But my favorite ‘twist’ is a 1/2oz of allspice dram. Oooohhh mama!

Yeah, um, they’re actually cutting back on a lot of the benefits and hoisting the membership fees on the platinum card, so I’m actually cancelling before my next renewal.

CPK is no good. There’s a reason it’s almost impossible to find a location. Their prices are very high, with a menu that seems robust, but really nothing unique or unusual. And the food is bad.

Counterpoint. Nuh uhhhh....

Ketchup is nasty.

Well, the name of the article is “to get stuck in” not “best airports to have to haul ass across to get to your next flight”. All the airports at which I’ve had layovers can potentially suck a LOT from that aspect. However, most airports tend to group airlines together so most of the time the multi-terminal hike is

Getting into MSP security is a massive PITA. But once inside it’s rather relaxing. It’s basically a massive mall, with lots of terminal seating, and even on crowded days you can usually find a couple spots with a bit of privacy.

The 1980's called. They want their PSA back.

We were members ages ago, and even when we were very smart about it, we still couldn't eat 2lb of spinach before it went bad.

I used to wander into the liquor/beer section in the MN Costcos all the time to get large bottles of spirits. They do not ask for your card, because in MN they can’t. You’re only saving a couple of bucks, though, so it’s only worth navigating the 800 cubic foot shopping cards and 1000's of patrons if you’re already
