I hope you corrected your friend—perhaps s/he survived the Bush years, but 6,831 of her fellow Americans went to Iraq and Afghanistan and did not survive. And only God will ever know how many of those countries’ citizens died thanks to Dubya.

In case you haven’t noticed, Trump’s policies relating to poor brown people aren’t that great, either.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR DAMN EMAILS. STILL.

Me, just now: “Oh man, your parents live their entire lives in standard definition? Kinda sad but also a pretty good analogy I supp... Oh. California.”

But doesn’t having a meeting waste both your time and theirs? Or if they just wander over, what about the fact that it’ll take you 25 minutes to refocus on what you were doing before they interrupted you?

I see what you’re saying, but where does rape enter into it? I mean, it’s possible that Bob’s and Jim’s wives are into it, no?

The point is, she was under the impression that her order had already been placed. “Lazy” doesn’t enter into it.

So if someone asks you for help or information, do you just ignore it under the assumption that they’ll track you down if they *really* want to?

“A loophole is an ambiguity or inadequacy in a system, such as a law or security, which can be used to circumvent or otherwise avoid the intent, implied or explicitly stated, of the system.”

That device only weighs you down if you let it, bro.

I’m a commercial property manager and I’ll occasionally ask my interior finishes contractor to order something like this from the paint store. It’s called a “drawdown.” I’m not sure if a paint store like Sherwin Williams would do that for anyone off the street, but it doesn’t hurt to ask!

Point of order: I also live in the city, and have had puh-len-ty of shitty neighbors. They’re just a different flavor of shitty is all. If I had to put a finger on it, I’d say it’s kind of a “I don’t give a fuck about you” (city) vs. “I give way, way too many fucks about every little thing you do” (‘burb) dichotomy.

Reality has a liberal bias.

When dude said “cast iron can absorb flavors” I think most people would take this to mean “cast iron pans,” since that’s the topic of discussion, and consider the pan to be a system that includes not just the iron itself but also the fats used to season it, etc. The pedantry store called, they want their...oh, never…

There are two ways to “use” a credit card: (1) make purchases and pay in full each month; (2) carry a balance month to month. #1 does indeed help your credit score; ae you sure lenders aren’t turned off by #2?

it sure beats having to give my SS# to utility provider and being told that I am required to pay a deposit

So if you have a dumbass user that enters a token number a bit late (due to correcting a typo)

In Windows 7 I used to kill the Explorer task when that would happen; it would restart on its own and fix the problem. Haven’t encountered it in 10 so I’m not sure if that’s helpful at all.
