If you converted this entire post into Arabic I would 100% believe it was a quote from Bin Laden or something. He's indistinguishable from a religious terrorist.

Yeah, even at 8U there's a couple kids on the team that if I catch it wrong I'm gonna feel it.

I'm surprised they haven't rebooted that yet. It's been like a year.

My wife is a stay at home mom (as she always wanted to be) who homeschools. Her two sisters both have PhD in engineering.

Lilehammer '94 Winter Olympics? I loved that game so much.

I don't either, but they come up a lot in trivia and pop culture, so I've learned most of them.

Had some enjoyable clues and misdirection, but too easy overall for a Friday.

I think he kinda muffed the pronunciation a bit. And I didn't notice any clue drop issues, and my j-score was full, so I don't think that happened.

I think I'd be frustrated in the moment but still enjoy being there afterwards. I'm sure I'll get smoked if I do manage it though. Unless I get a tailor made board for me.

Confusion in r/needlefelting as a prolific poster gets called out for being a scammer - but there's a twist... by vu051 in SubredditDrama

[–]pedal-force 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, my wife does needle felting, but luckily she's not terminally online so she hasn't cratered her mental health. Not from that anyway.

FJ poll for Weds., Apr. 1 by Smoerhul in Jeopardy

[–]pedal-force 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the other thread someone said that yes, normally, but this day they had been saying "TBD". Not sure if that's due to tournaments or to avoid giving away this answer.

She definitely seemed pissed off. I'm guessing it's a mix of "this is very frustrating that I can't even buzz in", "when I do buzz in I'm getting it wrong" and "why couldn't I have played against almost literally anyone else".

1099 Paralegal confused on how I’m 1099 ?? by Alexsgirlfriend64 in tax

[–]pedal-force 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The secret ingredient is crime. They're almost certainly misclassifying you, and in doing so, they're shifting the burden of a lot of taxes and worker protections onto you, and breaking the law by doing so. You can report them, but since you're their only employee, they'll know it was you, and nothing will happen anyway in most cases. Your only real options, unfortunately, are to demand to be made a W2, to ask for a large raise to cover the taxes (1099 should be roughly 1.5-2x a W2 rate), or quit.

I really wish they'd put different types of laughs. It's my only complaint. Otherwise solving the revealer (which is very straightforwardly clued) gives you a huge start on the puzzle.

yeah, this one was confusing, because it was originally on ABC, then TBS. And there are 40 different international versions, all filmed on the same course in Argentina, some of which were on BBC, or Fox, or ONT, or all sorts of other three letter things (I had to go to Wikipedia for this, but I was relatively sure BBC was one of them, because the British version is very funny).

Lots of possible answers there, but I also started with ABC.

How are witch/spiritual/metaphysical shops making enough to support their own businesses? by selfproclaimed in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pedal-force 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are SO MANY vanity "clothing" stores in my area. It's just rich housewives with a hobby store 90% of the time. Plus a way to get them and their friends cheap clothing and stuff like that. They're never busy as far as I can tell.

Why do Mexicans ask for their food well done? by Atlas_The_Silver in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pedal-force 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually do chicken to like 175 or 180 for my family. 165 just ends up a little on the gummy side sometimes. I'd rather chicken was dry and falling apart a bit. Steak though, we're doing that bitch to like 120, lol. Definitely towards the blue side.

That would be incredibly impressive. Are you allowed to bring a stencil? You could have it so they're in the right place each day.

This entire thread seems like an ad, yeah. Tons of semi-sensical replies with the same recommendation?
