Thank you.  My kid has gotten super into mangoes and I’ve been slicing myself trying to hold a slippery peeled stupid mango.  This is better.

Thanks!  I’ll stop in next time I’m near Laguna Niguel, but I’m closer to San Francisco.  I’ll have to go hunting anew for a source... we had a British expat shop nearby but it shut down a few years back, sadly. I developed a serious clotted cream addiction during a study abroad term at Oxford and I’ve mostly been in…

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR CLOTTED CREAM!?!?!? signed, desperate west coaster

I’m old to enough to know this is false.

Spreadable butter forever, man.  Hashtag save our toast.

I’m not saying the car didn’t try to brake.  Maybe the human driver isn’t at fault either.  But can’t blame the self-driving car for hitting a person when the human driver also didn’t do the things that would have been necessary (whether those things were realistically possible or not) to avoid hitting that person.  

I mean, this.

The human in the car should have slammed the brake before hitting a person....

There was a human driver in the car, too - so whatever happened must have been beyond the human reaction time too.  

My grandpa once replied “I don’t give a shit” to a waitress after she asked what we’d like for a drink.. like it was some crazy question never asked before at a restaurant

.... but he didn’t bring an emergency beacon.  He has a two-year-old.  It’s sad, and maybe the beacon wouldn’t have helped, but maybe it would have, and this kid would have a dad still.  That’s pretty heartbreaking.

This!  I, too, was a student who got paid for some things I did for the university that benefitted it, and somehow I managed to not become an insanely corrupt person. Weird how that happens.

This! Kelly Clark looked phenomenal last night too, and I thought she got scored too low. Really cool seeing her shred too despite being twice Chloe Kim’s age.  American women getting it done.

Exactly! I am assuming in that timeline that Andrew Luck also has a functioning shoulder, because Leslie Knope would have seen to that.

In the Parks and Rec timeline, Leslie Knope is the governor of Indiana by now.  

as an actual lawyer, I can tell you no.

“I love a patterned sock with a more subtly patterned pant”

“My lawyer has advised me not to for liability reasons.” (doesn’t matter if it’s true or not)

Aw man! You can’t bind minors to contracts! They are unenforceable against minors! Also no way is that a verbal contract! *lawyer brain asplode* I wish I could go back in time and light this lady up on your behalf.

Those butter-soft leggings get so soft because they brush the fabric like whoa before making it. This consequently destroys the structural integrity of the fabric and they rip really easily. Speaking from experience (I got some as a gift).
