“I’ll save you a seat at the bar”

OK, we get it. These fuckers are fast. Still not buying until refuel is as convenient as gas. Please make that happen and I’m in.

High grade, top shelf artisinal porn, the kind of porn you consume with an upturned pinky finger, the kind of porn which uses only the most elegant and sumptuous vulgarities, mais oui.

Trivia: In the US you can drive to 14,000 feet without leaving pavement, if you drive up Mt. Evans. Expect heart-stoppingly high unguarded dropoffs, hypoxia symptoms, and staredowns with mountain goats standing resolutely in the middle of the road.

Does John Barrowman have a portrait of himself hidden in his attic? Is he a vampire? He looks as young now as he did 3 Doctors ago.

Quiet enough that I can hear the server tell me the specials. Loud enough that people two tables over can't hear my wife tell me that everything I do is wrong.

I don’t like an overly loud restaurant, but usually when it does reach the level of me noticing the noise it’s because of the stupid “industrial” design ethos of all hard surfaces and open ceilings amplifying the sound. Would a few soft surfaces to help absorb some sound kill these people?

I have way, WAY less if an issue with ambient restaurant noise, like plates and people talking, and far more of an issue with restaurants that blast music at a volume where it’s hard to hear someone sitting across from you. 

If I do die alone, and if I am lucky enough to be the person to a cat or cats at that time, I hope they consume me, ’cause I won’t be putting their kibble/canned food out and I don’t want them starving.

As long as someone isn’t trying to pull into the spot on the other side it is totally fine.

I’m no right-winger, but I think this is a much more complex issue than has been perpetuated. Conservatives aren’t the only ones protesting this issue, though their (underlying, prejudicial) reasoning is certainly unique.

Somebody should make a list of everybody Ethan Hunt disguised himself as and how many of those actors are at least say, 6'2".

No wonder they work so well for the IMF.

Wait another 28 days...

Short term gain for long term disaster. It’s easy to enjoy a massive spike in profits if you start cutting corners so that your P/L statement looks great. But if the corners you’re cutting get you a reputation for making dangerous crap that kills people, well, that’s not a sustainably profitable scenario.

I can’t help but think the goof with Starliner’s maiden flight was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

If that wasn’t a code brown, I don’t want to know what a code brown would be.

Honestly, none of this surprises me and the very first thing I thought when clicking on the article was, oh boy, this is gonna be a chemistry issue. As an organic chemist, I am interested to know what dyes they used because most dyes are innocuous, some are suspected carcinogens, some are outright mutagens, and if…

On Chrome, there’s an extension called “Smile Always” that automatically redirects all Amazon links/pages to the smile site. So then I never have to remember or think about it, and the World Wildlife Fund gets a few cents from me on the regular.

If you can afford the $250 drink, you can afford the tip. But buy the bottle instead. If a single pour costs $250, the bottle probably costs $500 - 1000 and you will get 12 large pours instead of 1 small one.
