I can’t lie, the idea of living in an Akon themed city that only deals in Akoin is so damn funny that I really want it to be a thing now.

We do our best to just treat them like we would any other publisher. Any time I’m going to run a report like this, I’ll always ask the relevant parties for comment. Sure, Bethesda hasn’t responded in nearly five years, but that doesn’t mean we’re gonna stop asking. Let the onus be on them.

He told me on Slack he’s cooked pizzas in 90 seconds at 900 degrees.

Not sure what you count as “normal,” but I’m 6' and my knees are often crushed if I don’t notice the person in front of me reclining. I’m able to adjust and straighten my legs under their seat to avoid that, but their reclining absolutely impacts the legroom of the person behind them.

I dont trust TSA or baggage handlers as far as they can throw a suitcase. I wore my wife’s ring on my pinky, diamonds turned in toward my hand, until we were safely on our flight. Not a soul noticed, especially not my wife.

Shit, I want to star both comments but it sucks that you are right.

How about using both butter and olive oil. Don’t leave out the olive oil.

I’ll have you know I’ve spent time in Omak, working at the border crossing at Oroville. There are at least THREE people living in Omak.

Wow. Both people in omak saw it!

It doesn’t change as you get older. I’m a few decades older than 27 and still think my ten-years-younger self was an idiot.

Little known is that there are whole-house surge protectors that install right in the breaker panel. Add up all of the electronics that are now in the kitchen, HVAC, and laundry room, not just the computers and home entertainment stuff. Don't forget the value of the CFL and LED lights too. Never buy an over priced…

I water my plants with vodka. They're more fun at parties that way.

Folks who are saying you need to "understand" the request and "explain the consequences" or "redirect to another activity" have no understanding what this is about.
This is for repetitive requests for the same activity, sometimes after a explanation, many times without.
Sometimes a parent answers no simply because…

I understand that you are feeling disappointed. You prejudged parents who would use this technique and assumed that they are not very good parents. Instead, maybe you could try assuming that most parents do try to explain things to their children and do try to help their children understand their feelings. Maybe…

My daughter is six, and I've tried something very similar already. It did not work. What did work is making sure she understood that I had heard her question, understood her reasons, and the reason I'd said no. Still not 100% effective, but better than "because I said so", which really means "I can't be bothered to…

Okay, you can do your caring, emotionally sensitive answering first. If you've never seen a kid repeating "but why?" or "but why not?" or any "but..." after that, you need a different strategy.

What if you miss an appointment with your AA sponsor?

@bustedchain: I would agree that it's not a designer for sure.

@bustedchain: I think the second sign would have been just as good on a postit note. Bonus points if they just wrote on the sign which was already onthe door.

@bustedchain: I'd also argue that Arial is wank too.
