I bought a Primula a few years back, and this becomes my summertime staple. I generally add grounds in the morning, let it brew until the next morning, then pull the core out (where the grounds are), give it a good mix with the attachment it came with, and then pour over one of those whiskey ice cubes. It’s frothy and…

I drink homemade coldbrew all summer - figuring out how to make it was a game-changer for me, and now I have a fancy brewer to expedite things, though you definitely do not need one. For me, iced coffee never quite turns out as well as you think it should - it’s rarely strong enough to withstand the ice.

I am Canadian of Nordic/European descent, and I have a very poor tolerance for heat. I remember driving through Omak WA when it hit 109°. A few years back I flew home from Cancun and I stepped off the plane wearing a t-shirt and it was only 3°C (37°F) and I felt so relieved.

I might have the model wrong, or my memory of the layout might be faulty. It was 25+ years ago. I remember the body total though since we counted and it was a story brought up regularly in that group for years afterwards.

It was a red boxy late 80s/early 90s Volvo sedan.

I rode in a few trunks back in the day. It was the setup for our favorite Sonic gag where the carhop brings the drink and the driver says, “Oh, that’s for the guy in the back.” So the carhop goes to the window of the guy in the backseat and he says, “No, no, it’s for the guy in the very back.” And then the driver pops…

I think you are way under estimating how cozy 20 folks going to the “Love Shack” would get in a Chrysler as a big as a whale.

Seems like it’s about to set sail.

I feel like the B-52's would mandate that this car have fins as big as a whale.

Something about Virgil Exner’s aesthetic seems perfect for the B-52's, and the the extra ventilation from no B-pillar would likely help when it’s as hot as an oven.

I’m pretty sure you’re just an ozone generator salesman, but I’m still considering buying one.

The place I work for recently started paying servers a livable wage, so we are a no-gratuity restaurant.

People are PISSED. We get angry messages and reviews pretty consistently. Cause they want to be able to tip or not tip? It’s never about the wellbeing of the staff, it’s always been about a big power trip and it’s…

I live in Ontario, and we just reopened after several lengthy and increasingly infuriating lockdowns. People are FERAL right now. They want everything right now right this second and it’s like...we’re just doing our best with the scraps the government gave us.

People are balking at rules and acting like entitled…

The way the business has shifted over the past year’s been ludicrous; used to be that you knew Sunday, Wednesday and Friday were going to be busy, with rushes from 5 - 6 PM and 7 - 8:30 PM, but that all went out the window a few months back. Now we’ll get slammed on a Tuesday or Thursday night, and wind-up getting…

I’m in an area that is very seasonal. We get a lot of college students who only want summer jobs. The tourists are coming back for vacation, but the employees are not. I think it really depends where you are. I know places that hire a lot of short term visa employees like Cape Cod, MA and Ocean City, MD and NJ are…

Great piece, but it didn’t touch on what I’ve experienced as one of the biggest reasons people are quitting in droves. In a recent poll, it was cited as the #2 reason people are quitting these jobs, though I suppose this article was meant as a plea to that very reason.

It’s the customers.

Please be nice to retail people in general. I went to my local frame shop last week to have a newspaper article framed.  I was there for 20 minutes and had a pleasant convo with the proprietors, nothing special, just shooting the breeze....I received a 25% discount for ‘being nice’. I wasn’t any nicer than I am when…

We all could use someone like Elizabeth Banks in our lives, because she is delightful.

This BK guy could have really used someone like Elizabeth Banks in the moment that resulted in all of us here talking about what a tool he is for complaining about fast food drinks not being small enough. 

If Anita and Roger know each other before they get Perdita and Pongo, then it’s contradicting 101 Dalmations. Pongo’s interest in Perdita drags Roger to meeting Anita. So they’re playing fast and loose with at least that much of the original. And if they are ignoring what is the first 20 or so minutes of the original…
