So it was you, wasn’t it. Damn you!

Oh man, the previous owners of our house wallpapered around outlets, shelves, towel bars, anything else that was on the wall in the master bath. smh That had to have been more work than doing it right!

This thing spawned my favorite OEM part of all time: A Toyota badge with a GM part number

I can't be bothered to look it up,but way back, there was a Jalopnik article about how you could get a Toyota badge with a GM part number just because of the Cavalier. 

Great article, for the historical perspective.

(missed the article the 1st time around, but the history is very interesting)

feels a little paternalistic for those of us who spent years rebelling with substances and are now sober. the flavour is no doubt great, but the idea of it can be triggering. I still appreciate the thought, but it doesn’t speak to all of us in recovery.

Not sure why mocktails would be condescending. They can be quite delightful when mixed well.

I usually give a $1 when all they had to do was open a bottle of beer, I don’t have an issue doing the same for pouring a soda. 

The other major advantage to ranked choice voting is that it gives smaller parties a much better shot. As it stands, a lot of people vote strategically. They may prefer a third-party, but vote for a candidate they don’t like as well in order to keep another candidate out whom they dislike even more out of office. A…

At least we don’t have to worry about him fucking anyone’s wife.

Sure. I also expect managers not to seat more than they can realistically serve at one time, whatever their limitation might be. I’d much rather be told there is a wait than have a subpar meal. It’s not ideal but you can only control what you can control and for restaurants a lot of the time that’s how many tables…

you know why? bc Texas is not doing free govt handouts for doing nothing anymore like all the lazy blue states, who are racking up the national debt and spiraling our inflation. No handouts means people have to go back to work, which means normal levels of service. Gasp. 

It sucks that your spouse is immunocompromised. That’s shitty. I mean that sincerely, that has to be a lot for your family, and I’m sorry you have to go through it.
It’s not a lot to ask people to mask... and people generally have been for a year and some change now. But to ask people to continue accommodate the…

I have a friend who previously suffered organ failure. All the people in their social circle, and all the people in their partner’s circle, are vaccinated. Our circle is strict enough that the spouse broke up a gaming group because one of the members will not get vaccinated. And, due to work policy, my friend, their…

your article might have had some value a while ago, but face it-- the pandemic is pretty much done in the US- the numbers keep going down, down, down. its because of very effective vaccines and herd immunity. there is so little virus left to go around, there’s very little to worry about for anyone; you’re just afraid…

It wasn’t a good fluid, but was considered safer than Ammonia.

Notably absent in the Kitman tome is “where will we get the other 3999 products in daily use that derive directly from petroleum distillates...”

Talk to the folks downwind from Intermountain Coal Plant- the one LADWP owns to charge electric cars at night.

With straight run distillation, without the high temps for cracking, you get useful product.
