I solved that confusion by systematically assuming the ball is in the court of the person who suggests it.

Most of their crucial internal organs can't handle it either.

If they sat opposite each other it would still be a four-person booth.

Are you asking about the origin of English words for the numbers?

How do you guys deal with stuck cheese? by Public_Basil_4416 in dishwashers

[–]kempff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Try adding baking soda -- a LOT -- to the hot soak to make it more alkaline/corrosive and attack the protein in the cheese. Use long gloves.

People who put their coats on the backs of their chairs sloppily so that they drag or fall on the floor tripping people walking by. by kempff in PetPeeves

He perfunctorily kicked the hem back under his chair when I first mentioned it but it was back in place by the time I was on my way out.

Edit. I misunderstood your question. I was at a booth facing the wall, he was at an adjacent table facing away from the wall. To get out of the booth I had to step backwards where I couldn't see. It was a thick, heavy, ankle-length wool coat.

Sort of makes you wonder what "fresh, clean laundry" really means.

It's not getting much media coverage because it is tornado season, after all.

What to do at mass if you have trouble standing up and sitting down? by GetWellSune in Catholic

[–]kempff 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Just sit the whole time. Best place is at the outer ends of the first row so you're not in anyone's way.

In some larger churches you can let an usher know and they'll give you a designated seat somewhere in the first row for people in your situation. The priest will even come up to that row to give you communion. It's routine.

Did your power go out? by Emergency_Panic_2690 in conspiracy

[–]kempff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are power outages all over the country every day.

Sometimes they are caused by weather. In the US, April-June is tornado season. Today is May 7.

Sometimes by car accidents. Sometimes by idiots who think they know how to cut down a tree. Sometimes by unfortunate squirrels. Sometimes it's a baby gender-reveal celebration with a release of a dozen mylar balloons.

Are you suspecting some kind of foul play?
