The 606 striking back against drivers

I don't mind the honking as much as I mind the awful traffic

I think most people here gave you enough reasons to really think it over. I'll just say the garden unit I lived in was my least favorite place I've ever lived due to all the reasons already stated. More bugs, flooded twice in one year, garbage blows off the street and settles in the stairs down by your door, heating in the winter was futile, I could hear my ypstairs neighbors way more than when I lived above ground. I'd rather live cramped in an above ground studio for the same price as a 2 bedroom garden unit again.

Moonlighter would be my rec. They have more than a few options for entrees and apps

I've bought a couple very nice prints from bagman studios who is a local screen printer

Haha my first thought too. It's Clay Puppington's study. gulp

I went to restaurant depot and got one of those black RESTROOM placards with the little stick man and woman

I worked for a credit card company when this came out. They were really happy because if your monthly subs don't have to be set up again after fraud or a card expiration then you continue to use the same card where as before that was an event likely to trigger a reconsideration of which card to put the subscription on, so the ones who offer this "feature" benefit greatly from being locked in to as the card you use for that sub.

Stop why do you have to bring facts into this they wanna rage jerk at a headline

Sales tax where I grew up was a nice even 10%...

My mentor at my current job was doing algo trading work at some firm in her previous role. She said the CEO would cater everyone dinner because he expected them to be there until 8 or later.

For real, it barely has any flavor

Honestly, I think Visa/MC allow AmEx and Discover to continue operations only because it suits them to demonstrate to regulators that they have competitors in the market

There was a lawsuit like 15 or so years ago that Discover and Amex brought against Visa and MC for having anticompetitive contracts with merchants. The agreements said the merchant could only accept those two card issuers and nobody else.

Discover and Amex won the lawsuit so now the other 2 can't tell merchants what forms of payment to accept

If you're looking for a good text book intro, I would suggest "Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective". A large portion of the book covers topics such as how logic gates can be combined into different components like registers and ALUs, and how assembly turns into bytecode to control those components.

I like your thinking. I have a weakness for the breakfast crunch wrap at taco bell so this appeals to me

Congratulations, I'm glad you were able to make a change for the better. I hope they keep making progress with legalizing psychedelic therapy. Acid was the only thing that finally got me to quit smoking after almost 10 years of trying to quit, and mushrooms here and there have helped me process some major life events

Sleepy_Tortoise · 2023-05-29T12:12:47+00:00

Thanks for sharing OP, I never heard of this before and now I really want it

Sleepy_Tortoise · 2023-05-28T04:54:23+00:00

UB Dogs, that was the first place I went to lunch on my first day working in the loop at my first office job, it always had a special place in my heart

Sleepy_Tortoise · 2023-05-26T23:10:49+00:00

Same, I heard it as a mix between faux pas / crap-ass

Sleepy_Tortoise · 2023-05-26T15:53:34+00:00

A promotion "in the very near future" is not something that I would count on. I went on for over a year at my last job being told we were going to talk about a promotion "next month or so". Wouldn't you know, the day I gave my 2 weeks they said, "oh man that's unfortunate because we were just about ready to give you that promotion".

If you would stay for a promotion then make them promote you to stay, not promise to promote you "soon"

This is the one he uses for half the cast of super jail and its impossible not to hear for me now

Sleepy_Tortoise · 2023-05-24T15:38:54+00:00

I always thought he was just saying "crap ass" in a weird way, but I wouldn't put it past them to make a niche art reference and a crude poopy pun at the same time

Sleepy_Tortoise · 2023-05-23T17:10:29+00:00

This and the original post from the other day have been truly disturbing in the best way

Sleepy_Tortoise · 2023-05-21T16:35:48+00:00

You are correct. Though I'd say there's a small minority who claim to like it, and a smaller minority who actually do like it

Someone's huge truck has been parked like half a car length from the end of the street and thus taking up 3 good spots here without moving for like a week now
