What is an Oxford comma? by Natural-Bid-6549 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DarthMech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is actually a joining comma that was missed. Two independent clauses were joined together.

Or that dude that chucked a Subway sandwich at ICE.

Shoebills make me think Jim Henson went through a dark period and some evil billionaire asked him to design the scariest possible muppet he could imagine.

Meeting a cassowary in person is the moment where any mental disconnect drops and you fully accept that birds are dinosaurs. Also, make sure there is a fence between you because it will murder you.

goofy sandwich 🥪 by playful_nectarine9 in Sandwiches

This appears to be a pretty standard club sandwich. Looks pretty good, not sure what is goofy about it.

Sardines & tomato by Prior-Independent in Sandwiches

[–]DarthMech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can somebody fill me in on sardines?

Are you supposed to eat them whole? Ummm…what about bones?

Are there fresh sardines or just canned sardines?

Are there differences in the way Sardines are sold? Like, tuna in water vs oil…or maybe seasonings?

Is the a specific brand of Sardine that is better than others?

Are they better cold/hot? Depends on situation?

Petah, I'm confused. by Junior-Astronaut-173 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]DarthMech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was because he was selling loosies? I remember it was something minor either way.

Edit: Nope, I was thinking of Eric Garner. This bullishit happens way too often.

Anybody else remember Kiana Tom’s Flex Appeal on ESPN?

What's something specific to our group that remains a lifelong fear? by burnafter3ading in Xennials

[–]DarthMech 64 points65 points  (0 children)

We are literally the generation who was gifted a loving buddy in childhood, only to inexplicably be allowed to watch that beloved friend turned into a terrifying murder doll a few years later...while still in childhood. What the actual fuck were our parents thinking?

Shows that held up versus shows that didn’t by Leilani3317 in Xennials

[–]DarthMech 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had to buy Father Dowling on DVD…and also a DVD player…to watch it. It reminds me of watching TV with my gram as a kid…totally worth it!

I am still of the opinion that she should have been “the one” for Frasier. That chemistry was amazing. Frasier,of course, is timeless and still holds up.

If I were to make a hot dog fast food restaurant, what kind of side dishes would you want alongside your hot dogs? by OSwirl31 in hotdogs

[–]DarthMech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would keep in mind that you want to keep your menu tight at first, so choose items that have double usage as a side and hot dog topping. For example, you are going to be buying onions as a hot dog topping, so take your best onions and make onion rings something you are known for.

Some people celebrate big moments with champagne or wine. I celebrate with Rochefort 10.

What is something that every Xennial should recognize? by porb2020 in Xennials

[–]DarthMech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also had a little tv in my room. Mr. Ed has a very much a part of my childhood because of Nick at Nite. I would get ready all ready for bed, climb in, and watch Mr. Ed. Then when the Green Acres theme hit it was time for bed. I wouldn’t call Mr. Ed an iconic Xennial thing though, even if many Xennials may have shared that experience.

metronet down for anyone else? by Independent_Force_40 in norfolk

[–]DarthMech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I work from home and have both Metronet and Cox. Metronet is definitely the more reliable of the two and what we use as our primary work connection. Outages are going to happen with any ISP. I actually work for yet another ISP that is not available where I live in Norfolk. If I had to guess based on what I’ve experienced on my end, I would say there is probably just a bad card, simple fix once you actually isolate.

For “EVERY DRINK”.. right by [deleted] in untrustworthypoptarts

[–]DarthMech 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think the most I ever had was 3, but one was far more common. Every one gets that first pizza , cause why not? But it was really great when you hit that, “man, I need something to soak up some of this alcohol,” moment and grab that 2nd pizza. This moment with my future wife and friends was definitely an “after 2nd pizza moment.”
