Standards in online writing are low enough, already. No need to contribute further.

Curious, perhaps, but not objectively incorrect. Just a style choice. "Pouring" and "poring" are completely different words with completely different meanings.

*Poring. I know "language evolves" and blah blah blah, but let's, please, not let the stupid and ignorant dictate the future. There's a correct spelling of this word, even if almost nobody seems to know it any more.

When I moved to Paris, Charles de Gaulle couldn’t have been easier. I arrived after my 7-hour 1st-class flight, where I watched A Fist Full of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, while enjoying three full meals and a bottle of wine, reached the baggage claim just as my one large…

Wait, have we figured out a way to rid the city of all of these kinds of people??? If we can do it without the human damage, I’m willing to sacrifice a few more buildings to get NYC back.

There's not the remotest chance that revenge actually happened.

I sort of believed some of the popcorn story until suddenly she took a garbage bag full of popcorn into what was supposedly a packed theater, but there were two empty seats, right in front of the old lady, how convenient for the satisfying (and totally imagined) revenge.

No, you probably wouldn’t. Ever seen a basketball player throw a punch? Like the “punches” thrown during the Artest-Jackson kerfuffle several years ago? Yeah, these are not people who have ever actually been in fights.

I JUST REMEMBERED THIS ONE! I was scheduled to model for a photoshoot for a dominatrix friend, starting like 10 a.m. or something. I had gone out briefly the night before and had exactly two beers, then gotten a turkey hero at the bodega on my way home at a very reasonable hour. I woke up feeling that expulsive…

Coming off of heroin, on a fire hydrant on Delancey St., full middle of the day. I was so close to home.

I will admit to adding an ingredient to my modern old fashioned (as opposed to the Chicago-Prohibition-style) that nobody else does, but an overwhelming majority of guests tell me that it's the best old fashioned they've ever had, and it's not a corny, exotic, hip, or whatever ingredient, and it's only half an ounce.…

...bafflingly star-studded...

Haha, yeah, 2:1 is the absolute minimum.

I don't mind Overholt, and it's hard to argue with the price, but I do prefer Bulleit to it.

That doesn't address the actual point I (and the story contributor) was making - which was not about employee termination - that it is, in fact, illegal to have such sick employees handling food. Employers who demand/allow that to happen are breaking the law, just not necessarily any labor law.

They can call it a Muddled Amaretto Cherry Manhattan, then.

Bulleit Rye makes an excellent Manhattan.

Most metals are harder than gold. You can bite gold, bend it with your hands, etc. It's extremely malleable.

In food service, bruh, stomach viruses/food poisoning very much counts. It is multiple health code violations to allow a sick worker to handle food.

He's almost 100% right, except about platinum, which is pretty rare, and that is literally the only reason it is used in jewelry. It is not exceptionally pretty, and its uses lean toward the scientific. Its price is justified by its use and rarity. Diamonds? Thank DeBeers for all that bullshit.
