I quit drinking, but when I *did* drink on airplanes, it was always a double whiskey and coke, followed by a single whiskey and coke if the flight was longer. I think the altitude/air pressure definitely makes the effects of alcohol stronger. But I’m not driving, so what do I care?

When I traveled alone with my five…

You sound miserable.  I’m sorry this is happening to you.

The dude who held up a sign asking for beer was “canceled” and he didn’t do anything incompetent. And the reporter who dug up his old tweets was fired for his own tweets that weren’t that bad.

This isn’t about incompetence.  It is about shutting down speech and it had real ramifications in the real world.  The dragon…

What we consider “art” in the modern world is laughable compared to true art.  Duct tape and a banana.  It isn’t art - it is idiocy.

What a load of tripe. Cancel culture *does* harm people. You imply - and outright state - that these people still exist and still work. But that’s the problem: many of them lose their jobs for no real reason. It actually ruins their livelihood and harms them.

I bet if there was a campaign to get you fired for something…

I am not a troll, but that piece about medical care costs is quite slanted. I was taught to go to college so I could get a decent job with benefits. I did so, and I have medical insurance.

My (ex) wife and I had five babies, and none of them cost more than a few hundred dollars out of pocket. Sure, you can say the…

As everyone else has eloquently said, I’ll miss reading your stuff.  What kind of beer goes best with sadness from a loss like this one?  I don’t even know who will answer my question now...

This is a bad take. Nobody is bothered by people with gluten sensitivity. What *is* annoying are the people who claim to have a sensitivity and won’t eat food that has been in the same kitchen with gluten, but really it is just a fad diet for them.

And, sorry, but most of these types of people, from my experience, are…

Trump’s sharpie notes were quotes from Sondland’s testimony. He literally wrote down what Sondland said so he could quote it. At least be intellectually honest.

You sound delightful.

The company was growing very quickly. They could easily maintain their current customer base and continue making money hand-over-fist.

Would that have plateaued at some point?  Likely.  But, from my observation, their fans are rabid and would continue to visit frequently.  “Betraying” that core group (which is how they…

As seen in the other comments, “No. No it will not be enough.”

Chick-fil-A has basically caved to a group that still won’t support them, while at the same time upsetting the group that has always supported them.  It wasn’t a good business decision, from my point of view.

We tried this last night and it was underwhelming, to say the least. I won’t order it again. They should just take the garlic parmesan sauce they put on their garlic parmesan breadsticks and lather it on the outer ring of crust. That would be tasty and was more in line with my expectations.

That’s a real intelligent response.  Thanks for enlightening me.  I had no idea I had personal agency until this concise, snide comment.

THANK YOU.  I knew about using the two shoulder buttons independently, but couldn’t figure out how to use the dark light while also aiming.  You get an internet cookie.

I eat tomato soup with crackers and peanut butter in it (don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it!). I consider that a meal, and I consider the whole thing “soup” since the other ingredients are added to the liquid before I eat it.

We tried it and would not order it again.

You are correct. I spoke out of turn and will hang my head in shame.

But I wouldn’t classify 21 states - including California and New York - as “few exceptions.”  That’s millions of people who get mandated lunch breaks.

Yeah... that’s not true. In most of the U.S. a 30-minute lunch break is required for a shift lasting more than 6 hours.

Anyone who wants to make this kind of decision for everyone else in the office is a jerk. If I want a Red Bull, it’s not someone else’s place to tell me I’m too unhealthy to have one. Even if I am. If you think it is unhealthy, just don’t drink it.

One could easily make a similar study that shows bars should stop…
