I have a dutch oven but have yet to cook anything in it. Give me suggestions! Let the yums commence!

Pro-tip: always keep personal shit off the work calendar. My phone can have an arbitrary number of calendars so I have three: work, personal, household. The wife and I put anything we both need to know about on household, personal is stuff she couldn’t care about like the next spacex launch.

I guess you weren’t in the workforce during the first dot.com era? Finding out you lost your job due to the security card failing, logins not working, that was par for the course. Still happens today.

Compliance rewarded!

When Led Zeppelin sang about hobbits and shit, they didn’t run around with swords trying to reenact it. When Man’O’War sings about crushing and destroying poseur bands, they don’t actually take battle-axes and go after Poison. Johnny Cash never actually shot a man in Reno, to watch him die or otherwise. When rappers…

A top lesson I learned, painfully regarding a job but it would hold true to any conversation where you need to find facts: do not ask yes/no questions. Specifically, I was leery about taking a job at a brokerage because I am biased against the industry. I thought maybe I’m just being prejudiced and am passing up a…

Those are really good questions. Obvious in retrospect but I doubt I’d have thought of them all on the fly. That’s the best kind of advice, the stuff that’s so good you wonder why you didn’t think of it yourself.

1) that would not take a little time. 2) Ayn Rand? Really?! 3) Damn.

I am livid this fuckspat has a place on serious PBS shows.

I didn't think any modern car was getting that kind of fuel economy.

Any number of things can happen. I get crimes of passion murders more than the premeditated stuff. You have all that time for second thoughts before going through with it. Even if the guy needs to die like you’re in the resistance and he’s the top nazi in the city, the sheer nerves must be awful.

I am right in your same position. The wife and I are putting a priority on savings and every dollar is accounted for. There's not much left for frivolity at the end of the month but that's because we're socking it away. That's exactly what I was thinking, many households aren't even saving for tomorrow because they're…

Wrong. The cost of living is supposed to be lower in the south but that isn't the case. It costs down here, too.

Wrong. Proof: mexican food. Yum up that spread-out goodness.

That was prescient.

Sometimes it's the journey and not the destination that's important. But when it's one of these giant modern fantasy epics, that destination had better be goddamn impressive.

Driving solo, I can keep food and fuel breaks pretty efficient. Anyone else in the car, it invariably takes a half hour. If the stations are spaced intelligently, this should be fine. The only people who would really be affected are those who like to use multiple drivers and drive straight through and keep their…

I'll honkey up with my opinion. Words only have as much power as we invest in them. If it's a bad word, nobody should use it then. It's also a perfect distraction from addressing the real issues. Even if everyone agreed with me and we retired it tomorrow and all the raps got cleaned up, if we never went to the next…

And yet the commercials show people beating the hell out of these pretty, pretty show trucks. Shit, if I was buying a serious work truck I want something with a taxi cab interior, something I can hose out. Who needs leather in a truck meant for serious work? Who needs all the shiny? I'd want a military-grade dull coat…

Caaaaaarl!
