    No. But he's probably an annoying dipshit in every other aspect of his life. 

    But still, it's always great fun to see dumbfounded cops get put in their place. So today, I celebrate this man.

    She doesn't even have to say "vote for Biden" just to register and actually vote. They ain't voting for the rapist right wing buffoon. They'll also know which of the two is attacking her and to vote against him.

    It wasn't too long ago when BTS fans urged other fans to "sell out" Trump's rally in Oklahoma. Imagine the damage Taylor Swift can do if she mobilized her fans.

    Yeh. To make the whitefolk feel catered to. Cuz they know asian folk have their own permanent chopsticks at home. 

    We have chopsticks at home. But I prefer to eat with a folk or spoon.

    Counter-point.  I think Asian restaurants need to include chopsticks by default.  If we don't use them, we definitely save them and the kids will use them the next time we get Asian, for nothing else than pretending they're guns or swords.

    Or use them as dowels when I'm fixing cabinets. Or stakes when I'm designing my curvy flower beds. Or kindling. Or arrows when we make a mini-bow.

    Lots of uses for those cheap chopsticks. We just don't use them to eat.

    Whatever you do take the utmost caution boating around the Puerto Rican trench with precious metals, guns, & ammo. You are bound to have a boating accident every time #rip

    What kind of coins are those? Benjamin Franklins?

     

    Looking through my remaining stash, the in the order of good looks, the Libertads take the cake, followed by Fuji Takis, Maples, then Silver Eagles. The Philharmonics are ugly.

    Idiots who schedule a 08:00 meeting on Monday morning. 

    My wife works on several teams scattered across the world. She has 7AM meetings at least once a week. There have been 7PM calls, 11PM calls. Once her coworker in Singapore saw her online at 1AM, and asked if she could talk.

     

    To add to nnm, idiots who schedule 8AM meetings in LA or San Diego when I live in Orange County, about 45 and 85 miles away.

    Not killing Trump's business, but having someone else over it is in my mind the best option because IMO:

    1.) It'll make his blood boil to have someone else looking over his shoulder while he runs his eponymous company.

    2.) Likelier we see some of his illegal and shady practices exposed as they can't help themselves / it's the only thing he and the fam knows

    3.) Trying to run it on the up-and-up will cause it to fail as it's just one big scheme thereby only prolonging the misery

    4.) His martyrdom is diminished somewhat as he can't say the libs shut him down.

     

    Or sell his company to someone he hates (Soros or some tech billionaire) and have them make meeellions while he watches from his jail cell.

    Fair point, but conversely, I don't need utensils if I'm taking food back to my home or some other location that has silverware, and would prefer not to just throw it away because it was included by default. 

    Perhaps restaurants should make it a more industry-standard practice to ask people whether they want utensils. 

    Agree with this. 90% of the time I don't need plastic utensils, and they just end up in a bag (because we can't bring ourselves to toss them). I'd prefer they don't include it unless I specifically ask for it.

    Guess it got deleted. It appeared to be a drone show in Austin that at one point displayed a QR code using the drones. The QR code then Rick-rolled whoever opened it with a device. 
    Appears to be legit. Here’s the YouTube video of it. 

     

    Haha. It worked.

    im an absolute chump when it comes to giving honest feedback at restaurants.  i reflexively answer everythings fucking fine and great.

    one time i ordered "shrimp pasta" and got a bowl of noodles topped with these miniature shrimp that had to have come from a can.  the whole thing tasted like an absolute salt bomb... and one of the rare instances where the food truly was inedible. i left it uneaten and asked for the bill.

    server came by and asked in a genuine tone if everything was okay.  "oh yeah, im just not that hungry today".  goddamn sucker i was.  still never sent a dish back in my life.

    I sent back a steak one time because it was overcooked (medium instead of medium rare). The replacement was rare. At that point, I just gave up and ate the damn thing instead of complaining.

    Some places will comp you if you don't like the food. I had dinner with my then GF at NXNW (not sure if it's still around). I ordered the duck, but it didn't taste like the deliciously fatty duck I imagined it to be. I asked the server if this was the duck, who then brough the manager to see how they could resolve the problem. They didn't need to, but they comped me the entree. I turned around and gave the server a FAT tip that would have covered my entree and then some.

    But yeah, I'm usually a chump as well.

  10. Went for a ride last weekend wearing a t-shirt. Now I get why people wear jerseys. Lots of wind resistance even though the t-shirt clearly shows my father figure. I bought a jersey and will wear it if the weather cooperates.

     

    Now... a dumb novice question. When you want to turn left on the street, do you got into the left turn lane with the cars? Or should I just go to an intersection, hit the pedestrian light to cross? I've never ridden on the road, and am intimidated by the traffic and cars. Does that fear gradually subside? There's a fantastic biking trail close to my house, but I have to make a few turns to get on it and back.

    What’s wrong with Cheesecake Factory? Their miso salmon is delicious.

    I went on plenty of coffee dates in the past. Spend $8 (at the time), see how things went, then either cut bait or transition to drinks, dinner, etc.

    Or the idiot in front of us today in the members only line and clearly not a member because the gate isn't going up. He had to punch the "need assistance" button and of course we had to wait 5 minutes before someone came to help, then another 5 minutes while they took his credit card to pay for his wash. It's our first sunny day in a week so it was super crowded. JFC people are idiots. 

    Maybe the guy thought he had an in because he wore one of these?
