Was looking for work once when I was a teenager, and was consistently driving back-and-forth between Boone and Winston-Salem looking for work. Stopped at a gas station not too far from home, but still out in the sticks.

...sure, yeah! Yeah, that’s what totally happened!

And you believe that shoving a jade egg into your vagina every full moon eases menstrual cramping or whatever shit Gwyneth Paltrow tells you?

Eh, who cares? He’s not an athlete competing in a sport, he’s an actor. You seem to be stigmatizing the use of steroids, which is a bit derogatory. I hit a wall when bulking up when I was younger, so I used gear to break through.

No mention of San Pedro / Peruvian Torch? Cuttings are readily available at your local hardware store, and a 3' foot cutting of either should give you a pretty decent dose of mescaline.

Agreed; it’s nothing to fuck with. Had a friend in high school who got really into K and datura after his mom died in a murder-suicide. He did a fuck-ton of Jimson weed...wound up fighting off 6 deputies and having to get his stomach pumped after tripping balls for 3 days. And it’s not a fun trip like acid or…

Why have you been growing salvia? Honestly curious!

It’s hard enough to get teenagers to do dishes with a machine, spending months having to get them to do them the old fashioned way was so stressful we eventually switched to paper products.

Eh...that seems like incredible customer service? They replaced your shitty $300 unit with a $1,300 unit. Come work at Subway, you can handwash a shitload of dishes every night and still not afford that $1,300 dishwasher. lmfao

Trivection ovens are the shit! I really wanted to take the obsolete one home from work, but then quickly remembered our model needed several hours to come to temp and several hours to cool off, and I didn’t really have any reason to leave it on all day.

Check out the Ninja Foodi. Kinda expensive, but my dad bought me one for Christmas and I love it. It can either work as a toaster oven or air fryer; You’ve got two individual baskets that can be set to different temps and each can either be an oven or air fryer, set to different times. Coolest part is that if you need…

Cool idea, thanks for the tip! Just wanted to drop into The Comments and say that I’ve been enjoying your writing, keep up the good work!

I do a moderate amount of prep at work, and I gave up on the shitty scissors / shears that we constantly had to replace. So I brought in the big guns:

When our label printer goes offline, we just write directly in the container with Expo dry-erase markers. Comes right off in the sink.

No review on the new BBQ Dorito’s yet? Excellent chip, and definitely worth a  look, IMO!

Ever since I tasted a note of cinnamon, that’s all I can taste in them now.

I was pretty into Chunky for a while until they fucked-up the formula. “WE WANT BIGGER CHUNKS OF VEGGIES AND 25% OF THE MEAT!!!” - No One Ever

I’ve got a big can of Armour Vienna Bites that I bought during the height of the pandemic that’s been sitting on my desk ever since. I just looked at the expiration date and noted they’re still good until November. Thanksgiving is saved!

Ahh, I ‘member when the pandemic first hit. Late December 2019, IIRC; I was a meatpacker at Tyson when management had a sit-down with the crew. They issued everyone masks with the request that they always wear it in public, and that there was this new virus circulating in China and shit was about to hit the fan. They…

The only real harm I’ve seen in response was some dumbass shoving all the other candy out of the way / hiding it so customers would be more likely to notice the Feastables...thus, further ruining some Walmart employee’s day.
