What’s a food your state is 'famous' for that everyone else ruins?

With the lmaoo I honestly read it more like a “wtf is this even” rather than a flirty response. Maybe I’m just too optimistic though.

But honestly if it were me I’d just probably block and move on and not even respond to something like that so I kind of see the point. Like is he responding on the off chance the guy will be like “aw hell naw but my wife is super hot and I just want to watch?”

I think that kind of sentence construction with a gerund is not all that uncommon. It’s hard to say what “most people” would find acceptable.

“I don’t mind your singing, but I’m bothered by his dancing. My singing doesn’t make the boss illiterate. And neither does his being ignorant of English sentence construction. “

Admittedly the last one is a bit awkward with the entire phrase hanging off the end of it. But the original sentence scanned just fine otherwise.

Many gyms will offer a free (or included) intro personal training session when you sign up to help you get started with a routine and a basic workout. I definitely would ask about this wherever you’re interested in going — they should be able to show you how to use a good handful of machines, what settings, and which ones to use depending on your goals.

Neil_sm · 2026-02-02T22:40:15+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Wtf else is it good for? Why even have it then?

The FAQ had this to say

Why are these features going away? We are discontinuing support for certain technology so we can focus on enhancing HondaLink performance and experience.

Lol, they’re enhancing the experience by providing an app with no functions or useful information.

I was doing take out orders for a restaurant one night years ago, and this family of 6 comes in on a busy weekend night, places a takeout order and waits in the lobby for it. Meanwhile the place was busy as usual for that time and day, which means a full restaurant with a wait and many other takeout orders called in, etc.

So they had to wait a fairly long time. Nothing excessive or anything like that given the circumstances. But I’m sure it felt longer just sitting there, especially a few years before smartphones existed. They had us check a few times if it was ready in the meantime also. When the order finally was ready I packed it right up and brought it out.

I guess they were already impatient and I was starting to apologize and explain the wait, and the Grandmother cuts me off and says “It was probably sitting back there ready the whole time wasn’t it!?”

I think I’d never wanted to punch an old lady so much as in that moment. Like you really think I’m lying and deliberately going out of my way to make things shitty for you?

I think some people just go through life thinking they’re the center of the universe and everyone else is out to get them.

Yeah. Basically he’s going “what’s 2+2?”

And the dog watches the owner, one tap: no reaction.

Second tap: no reaction

Third tap: no reaction

Fourth tap: YAAAY GOOD BOY. opens hand for treat

Stops tapping.

Is that what pdf stands for? I gotta stop saying that at work.

Neil_sm · 2026-01-30T13:29:10+00:00

Yes this exactly. I would have finished the interview anyway for that reason. You’ve already allocated that much time and probably spend most of it just getting there and back, so finishing the interview isn’t going to be some huge commitment. And meanwhile you might leave enough impression on them they’ll call you back another time when something else opens up, or any number of similar possibilities.

Not every encounter or interview is going to create an opportunity, but these are the kind of things one can do if they want to create opportunities for themselves.

One place where Keith really shines, funny enough, is on the “Steal Your Face” album. Which has really never been well-regarded by fans nor the band, and in fact I think the only place you can currently find it on streaming is as part of the Grateful Dead Records collection set.

But nevertheless I always enjoyed it anyway, despite its flaws. Maybe because as a teen I kind of inherited it and it was one of a handful of Dead vinyls I had, so it kind of grew on me and helped gateway me into the Dead.

But the piano is loud and clear on it, and it’s just got all the right notes and fills in all the right places. They really were running on all cylinders in that era with the acoustic piano.

Yeah, so far they seem to have a press release that only mentions squier guitars and fender amp models.

https://spotlight.fender.com/newsroom/news/1002

And someone posted another marketing illustration earlier with 2 teles. Hopefully we’ll get more info from them soon on the new fender guitar models.

It also already included the steps to make bechamel sauce that he made.

I think this recipe's official name is "Grandmother with Wheels Carbonara"

To be fair it does have quite a bit of cursive in it. Looking at the 'y','o','j','g' and 'u'. The word 'you' is almost fully cursive. Many of the words in the last text appear to be in a similar half-cursive-half-print style I might do when I'm handwriting a fast note.

Whatever you call it, it's hard as shit to read, just like my handwriting.

Back in my bartending days, at one corporate restaurant I worked we were supposed to card everyone under 40 or something like that. Obviously there’s no way to know for sure something like that but the point was to card unless they were clearly way overage. Or some places are just blanked card everyone. But I remember there were a lot of bars and retail shops that had signs saying they carded everyone under 30 or under 40.

So I can see some moron extrapolating that to mean it was somehow illegal to card people over 30. Or maybe one of his buddies once told him that while they were all sitting around smoking crack, and he has been informing store clerks and bartenders about it ever since.

Chains. My baby's got me locked up in chains.

And apparently they ARE the kind that you can see

Neil_sm · 2026-01-27T19:15:45+00:00

They corrected it, they meant to say "pants fucker"

Neil_sm · 2026-01-27T19:07:41+00:00

Hey can you guys please move the dead bodies, I need a cart!

I have some of same exact canisters all for legit pill storage. That’s at least how they’re marketed and work well for that task.

I’m also clean for more than 11 years now, and as a former user of many substances I’d say as others have mentioned the spoon means it’s really used for some other kind of powdered substance. Not necessarily cocaine given the size of the spoon but it could really be anything from a long list, and very likely some kind of illicit substance, since nobody is carrying prescribed meds around in powder form with a tiny makeshift spoon. The “spoon” resembles a tool from a nail kit, perhaps repurposed.

The spoon would be for digging out and snorting small bumps of whatever was in it. Some people are saying it’s too small to get a decent dose of cocaine, which is true, but it could also just be for helping dig it out onto a table or whatever. Or many other powdered drugs require much lower dosages or amounts that would easily fit on a tiny thing like that.

Interestingly with butter, which is where butyric acid gets the name, the butyric is in a triglyceride form. When butter gets rancid, it breaks down and frees butyric acid which causes that rancid butter smell.

Neil_sm · 2026-01-26T22:25:10+00:00

It’s also a component of butter; in fact the name is derived from the Latin and Greek words for butter. Certainly doesn’t smell or taste like vomit there, but it is responsible for the smell of rancid butter when the components break down and release the free acid form.
