  1. planning a trip for late october with the wife. we did playa del carmen about 12 years ago and we loved it, but more recently did isla and also loved it.

    wife wants to try playa again but i'm concerned about the possibility of seaweed whcih you don't see in playa norte. any ideas on status of playa nowadays?

    McDonald’s guy also makes at least minimum wage. In glorious Texas, waiters make 2.13

    yes, but we're not talking about a waiter. we're talking about some guy working behind a counter preparing bagels and i assume coffee. they definitely get more than $2.13

    "So if you do less than a waiter, the tip is less than 20 and if you do more or more strenuous work, the tip goes up. "

    Immediately after you say that you go to a bagel place, place an order with the guy, he takes your order, makes your food, packages everything up, serves it to you, and you only tip "a bit over 10 percent." You're a cheap bastard.

    You're at a place where you can get a cheeseburger AND WINGS for twelve fucking dollars, and you're complaining that they won't make change? You're a cheap bastard.

    how the fuck is this different than someone at mcdonald's taking your order, having it made, packaging it up, and serving it to you? you're gonna tip them too? fuck that shit

    if i'm walking up to any counter, and picking up my food, rather than sitting at a table and being WAITED on and having my food brought out and then the table cleaned up after me, you ain't getting shit for tips.

    I am about to fucking lose it.

    We went to Colorado a couple of weeks ago.  Wife told family friends that they could stay at our house.  When she asked me if that would be OK, I said, "I guess, but I really worry about them breaking the AC.  When it's over 100, you cannot have the AC blasting 24 hours a day or it's going to break.  They can't set the thermostat below 78 during the day."

    Y'all already know what happened, but we got a text this morning: "The thermostat is set on 74, but it's 81 in the house.  Is something wrong?"

    Wife confessed that she didn't tell them not to set it below 78.  I went off.  Then she pivoted to "I don't remember you telling me to tell them that."   Then she pivoted to "YOU keep the thermostat at 76!"  "Yes, *AT NIGHT*, when it's not over a hundred degrees out!"

    I have not been this mad in a long time.  

     

    78 in the day, and 76 at night? WHAT THE FUCK? Are you the city of austin or something?

    Sigh.  Without a trip booked AND your passport expiring in short order, you can't get an "emergency passport appointment."  The boy's passport expires in the spring.  But he lives overseas.  We're going to sort out how to apply for a renewal in Edinburgh as soon as he gets back to the UK next month, because otherwise....he'll have to find a way to get an emergency appointment when he's back at Christmas.

    book a refundable flight duh

    just got my renewed passport back a couple of days ago. they received it 4/19. took a shit ton of time

  6. the worst part is the tugging you feel when they grab the vas deferens and the burning flesh smell as they cauterize it. otherwise it's no biggie. don't be a pussy and take one for your lady

    Yeah. After 15 years of marriage, I’m pretty clear we have little in common other than we enjoy the occasional sexy time.

    She shows no appreciation and only points things out when I’ve screwed up.

    Her choice of words and tone or voice is a mix of exasperation, condescension, and passive aggression. She regularly makes the kids cry and pisses me off so much that I put on my earphones and block her out.

    Don’t get me wrong. She’s a good mom, and without her my kids would go barefoot and wear potato sacks. They would be latchkey kids without supervision.

    But nowadays I don’t want anything to do with her because inevitably it’ll end in an argument. 

    you need to make your way over to the divorce thread. life is too short to put up with that shit

    anyone interested in that condo will need to go in there and replace the old tile, the old carpet, and all the tile countertops. it's way overpriced

    I dunno, so I said "almost."  Where/when the shot(s) was/were fired was still a point of consternation for the witnesses and jury.  I'm honestly over-fucking-whelmed our resident ballistic/caliber experts on surly haven't chimed in on that.  Alls I know he was convicted or murder, Abbott probably won't pardon him, and I will spend thousands of dollars to make sure he has the ever living shit beat out of him in prison for the very simple reason...because I can.  And you anti-BLM folks are going to wring your hands while I laugh my fucking ass off.  

    da fuq?

    wouldnt most nazis hate Hispanics?  Yes I know Hispanics are Caucasian but I doubt nazis care. Any resident nazis want to chime in?

    there's a reason we have a term for them.... "coconuts"...

    Is my option to bumrush the shooter on foot with no weapon? That would take unreal courage to do. I’m not that badass and would very likely run away if I could. 
     

    But I’m in an already running large truck, the shooter is feet in front of me, with his back turned, oblivious? I don’t agree that it’s some insane feat of bravery to do that but I guess it depends on the person and situation.

    yeah sure bro. you're a bad ass and you would have risked your life and the life of your family to drive towards a guy with an AR15

    He could’ve been killed as he fled too if the shooter simply turned around. You floor it, you die a hero and get remembered. You run away, maybe you live but you just die some other day in obscurity like almost everyone else. 

    i have zero desire to die young a hero. i'd rather live in obscurity and get to see my kids grow up, graduate, get married, have kids. you're kidding yourself if you think you would have floored it and risk getting blown up by an AR15

    I wonder how I’d feel if I was that truck driver. Not everyday you get a chance to be a hero teed up for you like that. He didn’t take it. I’d like to think I would’ve but who knows. 

    i'll tell you right now. your balls would have shriveled up and you would have done the same thing as the driver. to think you're somehow braver than this person is idiotic.

    i have zero desire to be a hero and leave my wife a widow and my kids without a father.
