Back in the before times, we were vacationing and for various reasons, wanted to watch a Monday Night Football game at a sportsbar/grill type place, but didn’t want to get rip-roaring drunk. I told the server straight off that we would be ordering a couple beers each and a few plates of food slowly over the next 3 or…

Like to see them try withholding taxes from the state that dictates the regulation that got them all huffy and see what happens. Server had nothing to do with it and earned their tip even serving in the cluster the current situation is.

“Buford Horn Weasel of Elmo, Montana”

People who say things like “I’m sorry the server gets screwed on this” are not just assholes but cowards too.

They sort of did... one of the founders of the company that first produced it got one in chemistry for work that likely was used in the development. 

There is no mayo in this house, because we rightly regard it as the Devil’s semen. However, a bit of olive oil will work fine.

My thought: “LUCY! Get down!”

Flying USES the laws of God, it doesn’t defy anything

This would be a decent business-class product but I can’t imagine any airline putting in more than a few pods’ worth of this kind of seating since it takes up so much space. Not that I would want to share one of these setups with a bunch of randoms anyway — that’s too much like getting stuck in the facing seats on the…

They are more likely to cut flights than cut the number of seats on each flight.

The Dark Knight is no more responsible for crap like the Snyderverse (come at me) than Star Wars is for the glut of tiresome imitator space movies from the 1980s, or Nirvana is for the entirety of late 90s rock. Innovators are not responsible for imitators.

You probably would have had the same or similar result with any sponge.  Looks like it didn’t need the abrasive element.

I’ll never understand the modern powerless British monarchy. Their job seems to be 99% waving at cameras with tightly polite smiles. Probably takes a lot of schooling to learn to wave the “proper” way.

This reads like dumbass mad libs. Further, if she truly escaped from Poland during the Cold War and she knows what it’s like to live in an actual communist dictatorship she should be fucking embarrassed if that’s the equivalency she’s making now. Really, closing your restaurant during a fucking once-in-a-century…

I am amazed at the number of steps it took for someone, anyone, to hit the pause button on this whole thing. The places where a McDonald’s employee should have stopped and said, “Wait a minute...” include:

Still boggles my mind anyone thinks that a third party gift card is the proper payment for ANYTHING (other than some some gross fried food or whatever the hell Rutters sells (side note, I grew up with the Rutter family, very nice people)).

Sounds like your wife might need to sign up.

One slice per day is correlated with increased risk. It doesn’t increase risk, that we know of, but may be an indicator for people at risk. As this very article goes into, there are a lot of factors that also go with daily consumption of processed meats and increased risk of dementia, and the link could very well be…

I usually assume “processed” means “cured with nitrates”

Correct. In a world where the standard rule is “every empty seat is a free for all after takeoff” there will be melee near first class as people try to nab the empty seats, especially on long-haul flights, resulting in fights and inevitable delays/diversions (beacuse you know we can’t have nice things).
