Eh, I doubt it. He likes steak and red wine too much.

Timely post. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.

Thai restaurant with my wife. Normally we split an entree, but I was hungrier than usual one night, so I ordered solo. Without having to consider my wife’s tolerance, I told the waiter “Pad Thai, ‘Hot’. NOT ‘Thai Hot’.”

Sorry, I was just waiting for the big payoff - like you bit into a tiny beak or something.

A cover band helped pay most of my way through my first 1.5 years of college. Onstage every night was the usual litter of red Solo cups. Our lead singer, a WASP doctor’s son, was inexplicably a Copenhagen man. One night, you lose track of whose cup is who’s... and suddenly you find out what a

I do eggs and avocado all the time. Is there more to this?

So I’m clear: OBD (keep wanting to type “ODB”, much love) readers can’t pull odometer readings, right?

Can a tailor rework a shirt for a slimmer fit toward the waist, or does this fall under the “proportion” escape clause? I wrestle with “medium tall” vs. “large” shirts to try and get a slim enough fit at the waist while still having enough room for my chest and shoulders to not be straitjacketed.

This. “Soundproofing” (i.e., keeping sounds OUT of your space) requires multiple approaches depending on the offending frequencies; Tapestries/foam can handle the high-frequency stuff just fine, but below a certain point, are worthless. The longer the wavelength (i.e., bass-ier), the more mass required to defeat it.

The Rangers are just pussies, I guess?

And when you’re the second-most hit team in baseball even before this all started, perhaps reconsidering the blame is in order. Three of the most-hit players so far are Royals.

Kansas side, but that’s irrelevant. Math is still math (at least for now, “Kansas LOL”).

A Royal has been HBP in almost every game thus far this season. Like, at a statistically-unlikely rate. At a certain point, league inaction leads to frustration leads to self-defense...

Craigslist the PEX remainders. I do this every time I have home-improvement leftovers - you'll be rid of it before the sun goes down, and get some of your cash back. People scour those ads for a deal.
