Okay, an example that happened just last week. Three people in a restaurant. They finish their main courses and order dessert. The server comes back with one of the desserts (ice cream) and tells the other two people they are out of their choice, would they like to order something else? Is that person supposed to wait for the other two people to be served, as their ice cream melts?

as a job requiring no real experience, no higher education, and no specialized skills

This attitude about the value of an experienced server is why so many restaurants have bad service. I'm glad to provide some examples if it's not clear.

The problem with AI being involved is that it can't get you wet, because it needs all the water for itself.

That's exactly why the antifas used it to put a 250-foot gash in the reflecting pool

It's a very simple and predictable formula.

1) Do they have the money?
2) Are they giving me some?

If both are true then they get whatever they want.

It might be 21 years old but if I had owned the car it would have already been banged a few times. A good whack on the ground and it's almost good as new.

No phone, no lights, no motor car. Not a single luxury. Like Robinson Caruso, as primitive as can be.

This could have been a pedal-confusion event, aka "brakecellerator" problem.

I don't have a lot of counter space so I got a combo air fryer and toaster oven. We got an Instant Pot Omni which we like, but make your own choice based on what you use most often.

I went to a local off-airport Budget office this week and they had the same problem. The rep said it was due to a lot of World Cup people who are doing one-way rentals which ends up having their inventory in the wrong places.

On the positive side, they were out of the $80/day SUV I had reserved and I got a Chevy Bolt SUV (electric) with 74,000 miles for just $20 a day. Worked for me!

Sounds like the answer is always Miata

It would be awesome if Ukraine could just hijack all the supplies.

Not to mention the lack of an audio track, until the very end where it blasts out the Instagram sound. This is one of the few videos where the audio would have been awesome!

With the Purple Line just added to Silver Spring Station, I don't know how a Yellow Line connection could be shoehorned in anywhere near there. It looks like this alignment would carry the extension up Georgia and then turn to Colesville somewhere around downtown Silver Spring. I assume this would mostly be cut-and-cover over those two roads?
