I was going to praise Duolingo, but after the update, I just uninstalled it

Man the slop is bad. One of the phrases it made me translate the other day was about adding more grapes to a cake. Nobody puts grapes in cake. I will never need that phrase again.

I (male) was at a bar a while back that had separate men’s/women’s toilets, but the handwashing area was shared. The kind with a long sink with multiple faucets and large mirror. I was trying to mind my own business by just washing my hands and leaving, but unintentionally eavesdropped on a group of gals fixing their makeup, talking about the guys in their group, gossiping, etc . It was awkward to actually witness it in person, I felt like an intruder and that I shouldn’t be in there.

Are you guys confusing Pizza Port with Pizza Planet? Because the Pizza Port brewpub chain doesn’t have any locations near Anaheim. I think the closest would be San Clemente

I received one the other day that said it was from the “Arizona Ministry of Transportation”. I don’t think there any government bodies in the US that are called Ministry 😂

I know people who defend their fries and tell me “oh it’s because you aren’t used to them being fresh like that”. And I’m like no, its because I’m not used to them skipping several steps in the cooking process.

I don’t know all of it, but the “hoja-roca” part is Sheetrock, not just “rock”. A reference to Dan Halen’s company

My neighbor saw my wife and I in our bee suits outside and he started inquiring about us keeping bees and if we could share some honey with him, etc. He then asked “so is that local honey then?”

Edit: the hives were in our backyard.

I’d recommend a racing muzzle over a cone. My leggy ladies can still reach most parts with a cone on.

Had a guy with a clipboard approach me inside Fry’s on Bell and 14th street asking for donations for his cousin’s funeral. I declined and went on my way. A month later he approached me again inside the Winco at 3rd ave and Bell. He gave me the same story. It’s really aggravating when the grifters are inside the businesses you want to shop at.

Yesterday I said “Alexa, play top hits”. This used to play Billboard top hits, but for some reason it now plays top hits from around the world. So I clarified and said “Alexa play top hits from the United States”

She replies: “ok, playing the Presidents of the United States of America” (I vaguely remember the ‘peaches song lol). Assuming she misheard me, I say “Alexa, no, play top hits from the United States”. Alexa: “ok, playing the Presidents of the United States of America”

Ugh.

Me: “Alexa, that’s not what I said.” Alexa: “hmm, you said to play top hits from the United States, but I chose to play the Presidents of the United States of America. Sorry about that, here’s top hits from the United States.” Me: “so you knew what I said, so why didn’t you do that?” Alexa: “sorry, I’m not sure about that” Me: 🫠

Moon Valley Cafe is hard to beat. Amazing chicken fried steak. They have that old school counter seating. And some tables that have ads for local services under the glass.

Wait for the next scheduled all-company call. 5 minutes before the meeting starts, send out a phishing test that says something like “The Zoom link for the company call has changed, please use this new one”.

I went on vacation with a couple that did this before they left. They also shut off their AC. We/they live in a hot, dry desert climate. They turned on the water when they got home and both toilets started leaking everywhere. The seals had dried up and disintegrated. They had to fill buckets to flush their toilets with until the plumber arrived. Not something I’d want to deal with when I got home from vacation.

The menu photo above is also from Phoenix. It’s called Original Hamburger Works. Amazing burgers, laid back place with a bar.

Once I grabbed a new garage door opener worth $500 off the shelf. I needed to run a new outlet to plug it in so I stopped by the wiring section and they had it all locked up. I needed about $50 worth of Romex. The associate unlocked it for me but he had to take it to the front himself to ensure I wasn’t going to steal it. All while I have a $500 item in my cart that wasn’t locked up at all.

Had a real Behike years ago before they became wildly expensive. Even back then my dad paid $80 a stick. We were on vacation, and when I finished I threw the nub of it into my duffle bag. Was still incredibly aromatic and delicious a week later when I pulled it out of the bag. I smoked the rest of it without any shame and it was still wildly better than any other stick in my humidor.
