My friends mom has been trying the opposite- shes trying to avoid buying any plastic packaged food. Not so much out of concern for microplastics, but as a way to reduce her environmental impact.
Its also helped her eat much healthier- most candy is out, all her veggies are fresh instead of frozen, fresh meats instead of prepackaged ones, etc.
On of my friends gfs did that back in the day.
The crew was going to a local punk concert, and she was generally a bit more straight laced.
So we were all a bit surprised when she showed up in a red wig, and leather, and said her name was Jackie. We were joking about her maybe thinking we all had 'punk names… that we just all used all the time because we were always dressed a bit punk.
We all go back to the house most of them relived at to crash, and wake up in the morning to them fighting, and her accusing him of sleeping with Jackie. And him being like ‘I thought it was just a bit of role play!’
He goes into the bathroom, and she comes out to the kitchen and wete all just like, really, we all knew it was you the whole time… also your tattoo was showing…
Idk about the forensics part. Were probably talking strychnine back then, which os pretty obvious because it causes muscle spasms and people to contort up and stiffen up pretty unaturally.
Nail as is have sex with, or bust him for cheating?
Generally, when looking at a vertical representation of horizontal space, we think of the top as further away from the viewer, and the bottom as closest (think the graphics on your stove letting you know which know goes to which burner… the back burners are the top ones, and the fronts are the bottom.
The only reason to have the faucet appear as closer and ypur hands as farther away is to intentionally make it loom dirty…
…Unless this graphic is telling you to stand on the far side of the basin and wash someone else’s hands for them.
It gets hot, then it blows you- what else is there to know?
I live in a state that has a rule that essentially all ‘outdated’ laws that use gender are updated to be gender neutral.
A couple years ago, someone pointed out this caused a bit of a problem in our beachside town, as technically the town bylaw that prevented women from sunbathing/ swimming topless, now read 'All people are banned from having exposed breasts and ripples in public, with a 75$ minimum fine. (Including men)
The two women who brought this to town meaning proposed a simple update, strike the old rule, and replace without everyone can be topless around the beach, but must be covered up down town. After all, its was 2023, and the Puritans had gone extinct as a religion 280 years ago.
This sparked a hilarious 2 hours of public comments.
My favorite was one lady getting up and being apoplectic about the thought of having to explain breasts to her grandsons and appealing to everyones sense of modesty. Her friend then got up, and was just like ‘didnt I run into you on <whatever foreign vacation resort laazt winter? Not only were you topless, your bikini was so small your hoohah was falling out all over the place!’
People kept forgetting the ‘no gender words’ thing, so theyd propose a rule to sneak around the gender issue, that read something like ‘no person may expose female nipples’, and the town councilor would very dryly read that back to them as "in practice that law would read “no person my expose human nipples”. All you’ve done is shift liability if someone helps another take their shirt off.
At one point, someone got smart with, “no Non-Dormant human sexual reproductive organs may be exposed in public” (meaning men’s breasts were okay)
Town council thought about it for a minute, and just said “that sounds an awful lot like 'youre allowed to sit on a bench down town, fully naked, as long as you dont get an erection.” "More seriously though, while that law doesnt fail the test outright, it is most guaranteed to get hit lawsuit and struck down before we ever get to beach season. "
On bro got up and claimed if the town took away his right to hop into his topless jeep, shirtless, to go on a beer run, he’d ‘take the law into his own hands, every day it was sunny out.’ Madame Moderator, as she prefers to be called, countered with “well then…” and “I believe i spea k for the entire town, when say I sincerely hope you never grasp any part of the law!”
Eventually we settled with “all people may be topless on public property within <town name> except where prohibited for reasons of sanitation or saftey” boring, but a win. I still have yet to see anyone topless outside of the nude beach. Well, Besides a coue female friends who lgo skinny-dipping whenever we have a night-time beach party, but the old laws werent exactly stopping them before, either.
I’d bet theres a couple ‘allies’ that he just wants more leverage over mixed in.
Only time ive ever used a pallet doly was for moving pallets of liquor around a restaurant, so that works for me!
Sounds a bit like camping. I love camping!
When I managed in restaurants, I made it a policy to not give freebies to assholes - the more shameless they were the more of a dick id be about it, to the point of loudly comping deserts or giving diacounts to tables for “being such a pleasure to have dine with us.”
Sometimes id give a nearby table a 10% off (a discretionary ‘whenever’ discount we had programmed in, usually unde locals/ friends or similar) then ‘apologizing’ for the disruption caused to their experience.
It worked, too. Had some of the most well known ‘difficult customers’ in town trained to being over the top nice to my staff, in hopes of getting the discount. I also had a lot of the die hard assholes to the point where theyd just leave if they saw me working because they knew their crap wasnt going to play.
I still have some cds my high school gf burned for me…
She was soon after diagnosed scizophrenic. Jesus told her to burn all her rock music because it was evil. He apparently told her this thst morning while bathing in her coffee cup. After she’d done her collection st showed up at my house and started burning mine, so I wouldn’t go to hell either.
Does it take that long to move them?
I just take the back edge of a knife hold it over each of the 6 lines ill be cutting as a guide, and pull any of the pepperoni on the line one way of the other. Take like 5 seconds.
Totally plausible trump saw a photo of him, like the one here, and saw his pale skin, shaved head, and just assumed he was a fellow fascist, and called him up to recruit him, and just started blabbing.
Kinda seems more plausible that coorgan just making it up and saying it for what… clout?
Yep. For a minute I read it as him getting caught dropping bones off… as in he had a backlog of 100 skeletons to dispose of after many more killings
Only way I can get a plumber or electrician in my town to anything besides new construction / fresh install is to ask my friend who runs a 60 home caretaking / property management company for a recommendation.
For plumbers they usually threaten to walk, unless you agree to let them just do a replacement for a new fixture (one was a 5 year old hot water tank…)
The only difference is if I get their number through my friend, I get to tell them, "if you walk, ill tell < friend’s property management company> and they’ll lose your number, and tell all their buisness contacts to do the same.
As someone working a trade, I hate to have to twist their arm, but its litterally the only way to get work done.
Especially since we have a model of what that society looks like, with places like Japan and great britain, most of Europe etc. They de-escalate to knife crime picking up the majority.
Pretty sure they’ve, and other large chain stores have been doing this for a while for certain trades. Like electricians and refrigeration/ HVAC.
I know an electrician who did his J-manship under them. So he worked with the master electrician and they were the in-house team for like 4 districts, maintaining and upgrading 25 or so stores. When the electrician retired, he took over the contract, trained up another journeyman, before deciding he wanted to move to my town and start up his own company.
Our local stop and shop has the same for refrigerators- theres a team that gets dispatched whenever theres problems. They even have mechanics jerseys with a stop and shop patch on them. Although, because I live on an island, they do maintain emergency contracts with 2 local guys just in case their team can’t make it over.
Satire on public schooling, no?
I had to deal with the opposite once.
Was managing a bar where doing shots with customers was common. We also kept a bunch of leroux blackberry brandy in stock that was common for this (a tradition dating back 30 years)
One of the bartenders refilled an empty bottle with robitussin, becauae he was sick, and was shooting that instead when he did shots.
A server then snagged thay bottle and a couple of shot glasses to pour some shots tableside for a group, and then accused the bartender of dosing him on lean. (Promethazine and roxycodone)
