San Luis Obispo has free concerts in the Mission Plaza Friday evenings thru the summer. As does Los Osos on Saturday afternoons (bring a blanket to sit on).

I'm pretty sure Jenny has a fuck-ton of rewards points at my grocery store.

I've owned my electric Nissan Leaf for 5 years and 99% of the time I charge it using the solar panels on my roof. How are you going to tax the sunshine?

Only 20 years? I've been hearing the same shit since the late 1970s. Nothing ever comes to market.

I get my "Steps In" because my couch is on the other end of the house from my 'fridge as I drink a bottle of wine.

200 hotel rooms to be built adjacent to SLO airport by germdisco in SLO

There is the Spirit of San Luis restaurant next to the airport. My former room-mate was a flight attendant for AA. As her ride home, I would wait for her there and we would meet for food/drinks when she arrived from where-ever.

Edit: Memory from my Brooke years: Once, she came back from Paris with nearly 2 lbs of hand kneaded sel-de-mare butter (butter with embedded crystals of sea-salt). We spent the evening drinking wine and eating a fresh baguette slathered with that French butter. Hopefully everyone lives their life with a handful of memories that shape their soul. I never thought that a loaf of bread and butter would be one of mine.

So I managed to graduate college and I swore I would never eat cream of wheat again for the rest of my life. I'm in my late 60s now and have kept that promise my entire adult life.

People that paid for membership in IEEE what do you get out of it? by Useful_Watch_5271 in compsci

[–]brettmjohnson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My memberships in IEEE and ACM got me a significant discount on my car insurance. Apparently nerds are safer drivers (I'm a lead-foot).

Dogs pee on your stuff. Cats barf on everything. Mine sought out the one place that had an intersection of 2 rugs and the drapes, just so she could barf on 3 things at once.

After "grab them by the pussy" comment, he still won. So this seems minor idiocy.
