And that’s just Midwestern humility. Depending on what size body of water you call a lake, the real number is somewhat higher than to more than double the 10,000 number.

Quiche is it's own thing.  It's lighter, more delicate, and every egg-centric.  I love me some deep-dish, but I love me some quiche, too.

A lot of places serve mac & cheese pizza, which is just crust with noodles on it and some cheese sprinkled over the top. It’s popular, despite being so dry it’s tough to choke down, IMO.

Wait until they see my 200-block of West Maple Street style pizza. You put the crust on top. Cheese first, then sauce, then crust.

Or pull the baseball bat out from under the counter and say “I’m not Baby. This *thumps bat in hand* is Baby.” 

How I Met Your Captain. Shortest spinoff ever, just 2 minutes long. Credits, then Kevin saying “We met at a party. He charmed me with his humor.” End credits.

Spader is a fine actor, but was totally wrong for the role. Ultron came off more like he wanted to buy the old ski shack where the working-class kids hang out and make it for rich snobs only rather than destroy humanity 

I never watch the Oscars, because it's always just terrible.  I do enjoy reading about the disastrous flailing that goes into it being so terrible, though, so I'm all for these articles.

I don’t hate carbonated water, but it’s not an everyday drink for me. I don’t understand what people seem to have against regular (still vs. carbonated) water. I always have a big tumbler of ice water nearby and sip on it throughout the day, but room temp is fine, too.  Some people act like they're being forced to…

They just taste wrong. I used to have a pretty bad soda habit, but any time I tried one of the diet drinks I just couldn't stomach it.

The Expanse. I tried the pilot and really didn’t like it. The sets were all so dark and cramped and ugly, and I hated everything to do with detective Miller. My brother kept raving about the show, so I got back in at the end of Season 2 and got hooked. I could even stand Miller in small doses once he left Ceres.

Ah, the Christopher Nolan order.  I can see that working.

If you put pineapple on a pizza, it’s ruined for me. I’ll find something else to eat. Same with squash, or root vegetables, or heavy cilantro in the sauce.

I’m vegetarian and people always trot out the “just pick it off” thing with me, too. I just tell them that I’m going to put dog shit on their slice and they can just pick it off, sound good? That gets the point across.

I see jalapenos as a replacement for pineapple, myself. Jalapenos are a little spicier, but still very sweet, and IMO pair much better with the cheese. Pineapple and cheese are like peanut butter and orange juice: I like both, but for god’s sake not together.

I never said those things were equivalent. I took a dumb idea and moved it to a different, exaggerated context to show how very stupid it was.

Yes, that is the reason.  That is the behavior that Tesla should not be teaching people is okay.  That was all in my original post.  Keep up. 

Go ahead and take your dog out for an adventure!  Just don't leave him alone in the car--that's not fun for him and can be dangerous.

Are you serious? Because there’s a lot of real easy answers hanging real low, here.

Bank errors can be corrected. A dead dog, not so much.
