A few people I know were so panicked they paid over $4 a gallon so as to not get left out. So stupid.

You’re better off than here in Plano. No gas almost everywhere. People were filling all kinds of dumb containers the other day when I drove by. Wouldn’t have been surprised if some people were filling up trash bags.

This. Politicians don’t want to do it for fear of the hew and cry from voters, but it’s absolutely critical for the future. Too many people are too quick to whine about a $.50 bump in prices that would cost most people about $7 a week.

Also the Black Moon.

E told her that if she was truly critical to SpaceX, it should not be able to operate in her absence

I spent 20 years in prepress. Not just specialized, but now commoditized, and as a result increasingly unfriendly to anyone outside of upper management. Don’t take this the wrong way, but get out any way you can.

Once attended a wedding (single mom bride + family money groom) where the DJ actually played Kanye’s Gold Digger. Turns out the groom’s sister specifically requested it. Thank goodness it’s not on this list, else it would have been awkward.

Full disclosure: 14 years ago I drove into wet concrete here in TX.

Like so much of NYC’s infrastructure, the money that’s thrown at the MTA benefits everyone except those that have to use it. It’s a prime example a system that has grown beyond any ability to be managed (or even controlled) from within.

At the end of the fourth grade, my despicable wretch of a “teacher” sent a note to my parents stating with full confidence that I was going to have problems with drugs in high school. That wasn’t even in front of a crowd of other teachers and kids, but I didn’t understand why she said it, so I spent years convinced…

This may be a fine line, but if the children being singled out are troubled, it’s even more cruel. Those kids are troubled because they don’t have the support they need - for whatever is going on with them - and this kind of shit just pulls the threadbare rug out from under them.

I tried using ceramic (it was an older Slice model) for all of the same intended uses, at my old job a couple of years back. Like you, I liked it at first. The downside is, they’re incredibly brittle, which you’ll learn over time. Come across something hard (which only has to happen once) and they start losing…

Seriously, stop putting beaks on cars.

Unless you buy one of this year’s models, you won’t be able to anyway.

I used to work at HQ attached to the marketing group. It was an open secret that the “vote” for the 3 finalists was predetermined. It was funny hearing about the upcoming vote while the winning flavor artwork (along with “finalist”art for the others) was being approved.

You showed 4 of the Best of the Month kindle books...but didn’t include Charlie Jane Anders’ All the Birds in the Sky? How quickly we forget...

The “we don’t get paid unless you win” type of guys usually take 20% off the top

Gotta say, I worked for 15 years at the HQ of a major F500 CPM, and this lady (based on picture #1) dresses better than 90% of my co-workers did, and they had a FULLY DETAILED G**DAMNED DRESS CODE FOR “BUSINESS CASUAL.” Despite that, there were truckloads of questionable jeans, “cultural head wraps” (most of which…

My ex-MIL almost severed two of her fingers with this exact model last month. I know this because she insisted that I remove all traces of it from her house. Silver lining for me!

You’re the one doing the name calling, so the rant is all yours. However, I don’t have to read the whole discussion to know that you’re giving bad advice, and multiple times at that.
