Yeah see someone said there were still a few Dutch people bobbing about Greenland. Figure maybe one of them could do it

My uncle was told a long time ago if they went to lunch and talked about work at all to mark the hour as paid and he said he felt bad so didn’t. There is no way I’d not mark that these days.

Dudes counting thinking about work as work… Which means so many 40 hour jobs should be paid for 80 hour weeks then.

Everything you said fits what I remember. Although I remember abc being more for constants where xyz were variable. Maybe I’m remembering wrong.

This is the actual appearance of Jesus. He isn’t on a cross, he doesn’t have a beard, he isn’t white, but he’s still out their taking icicles to the head for our sins.
- Comment on Smart option 3 days ago:
That’d be nice, a number of places do, but it isn’t mandated. I also liked it when places did their prices so the totals would come to a quarter. So a total couldn’t come out to be anything other than 10.25 or something, so you never had to deal with change outside quarters.

This last season came out swinging with their wardrobe budget. The first 2 episodes I think we just kept talking about how much we liked outfits

Are you talking about Terry?
- Comment on He's camera shy 5 days ago:
This is because we have seen a lot of new tech that makes cameras water resistant/proof and technological advancements in submarines. No one’s made a backwoods proof camera yet.
- Comment on Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier says criminal “geoengineering and weather modification activities" could have played a role in recent Texas floods 1 week ago:
Na, “for the express purpose,” meaning if you have another purpose you can prove is the primary, say transportation, it’s fine.

If that were actually the result I’d be less concerned I think. I might even shoot to be in the blast radius.
Also out of curiosity… if Bruce Banner gets old and starts to have a heart attack/stroke does his fear turn him into the hulk and he just stays that way forver afraid of turning back so he lives forever?
- Comment on Yeah, I was staring at her heart 2 weeks ago:
I usually aim for that as well. Although I knew a guy years ago that would stare at someone’s ear to see how long it would take to make them wonder if he was staring at something behind them or what they were doing.
It really would to be practical for me to run away from everyone. Also at 35 my hair has thinned on top a bunch so the more I look down the more it would expose such. Something comical in thinking there will be people shorter than me who I am confident around who will think I have a full head of hair, and those I am not confident around and look down, will know I don’t, haha
- Comment on Yeah, I was staring at her heart 2 weeks ago:
Sometimes staring into someone’s eyes feels too personal. Lower your eyes, realize now you may come across as looking at their chest, keep going, looking at our feet, wow they must thing I’m uncomfortable or think I have a foot fetish yikes. Just keep turning that head down until your chest swings round and rush off in the other direction. *Scooby Doo- scram

"First time seeing this. Much more common one is “you shouldn’t give a fuck” or a version without swearing: “don’t stick your nose into other people’s business*”
Is that an accurate translation? If so… Very similar to sayings in the U.S.
- Comment on The dreaded she's typing icon 2 weeks ago:
Works if it comes from someone you respect/ look up too. If a doctor or EMT says it, it tends to have more effect. Because the people believe they are working in their best interest. Anyone who gets more upset at their partner for saying calm down either does not trust them to have their best interest at heart at that time, or does not respect them.
- Comment on Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say 2 weeks ago:
I understand you just mean the term murder has legal definitions that vary. In California it may fall under this second section.
“Sentencing for Involuntary Manslaughter: Involuntary manslaughter, under Penal Code Section 192(b), involves causing a death without intent to kill, often through reckless or negligent actions. It differs from voluntary manslaughter by focusing on the lack of malice and intent. The law penalizes those whose careless conduct results in fatal outcomes.
Involuntary manslaughter is typically classified as a felony, with potential imprisonment ranging from two to four years. The court considers the defendant’s conduct and case circumstances, including the degree of negligence and foreseeability of harm. Restitution to the victim’s family for economic losses is often required, emphasizing the broader impact of the offense. Probation may be considered for first-time offenders or cases with mitigating circumstances.”

Well the conditioning part of the air turned off when the engine turned off. The police reported the air was still going but warm when they arrived. Meaning she murdered her child and will likely get off with some kind of child neglegence charge.
She deserves worse, but honestly I can’t see a judge thinking she won’t have already received punishment by losing her child.
- Comment on My son got Nikes so he doesn't get teased. 2 weeks ago:
$300 shoes? I think the most expensive shoes I’ve ever bought were $70. I’m sure a lot of the issue with him getting picked on isn’t so much brand name but him feeling like he has no say in what he wears and feeling like he is dressed by his parents in styles he has no say in. Its been 25 years since I entered middle school like this kid, but back then I would have felt the same way if my parents were forcing me to wear something I didn’t like/want. It wasn’t about price either. Often times the shoes my parents wanted me to wear were the same or higher in price, but styles change over time and vary by region/groups. People have their own personalities and prefer to fit in if they can. If the kid doesn’t want to feel like a toddler and have more freedom in what they wear it isn’t a bad thing.
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 2 weeks ago:
Ran out of butter last week and found out when I went to make a little bit of fudge. I used the bacon fat I strain and keep in a jar in the fridge. I usually don’t care for bacon tasting desserts, but I wasn’t mad about that decision at all.

That first one is nothing and I’d call it fine. Second one is fucking horrible, third is drunk.
- Comment on Why don't Americans use electric kettles? 2 weeks ago:
Safer for kids as well. They don’t stay on and apparently people say water without something breaking the surface tension can pop in the microwave when you go to pull it out (never had it happen to me, but I have only tried a handful of times in my life… always had a teapot or electric kettle). … Or a pot. I used to just throw the teabags in a pot and pour it into a pitcher / cup after
- Comment on Why don't Americans use electric kettles? 2 weeks ago:
Use it all the time, but rarely for tea. Boiling a few eggs last night. Half the water in the electric kettle, half in the pot on high, join half way through to speed up the process. Making ramen, kettle. There is always some reason I find it useful.

- Comment on DIY 4th of July 2 weeks ago:
Oh definitely. Individual metal smooth ball, fine. 10 of them not touching fine. 9 spoons not touching, fine. But if one touches the wall of the microwave or another of the objects there will be a quick spark, and depending on how long the contact, maybe a flame+

- Comment on Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales 2 weeks ago:
It’s also worth noting it came out in 2017. In the years leading up to that namely around 2014 everyone was questioning if Sony was going to have to declare bankruptcy. Throwing a large amount of money into a product that can draw users to your console/platforms for a cheap price that your main competitor couldn’t afford to do probably sounded like a good strategy at the time, knowing they could drive costs up if they got the user base built.
Sony may have recovered though
- Comment on Babe can you refill my drink from the cloaca dispenser please? 2 weeks ago:
That’s usually because the syrup to carbonated water ratio is different. But yeah I’m sure if you never clean the lines it won’t be as good. (Or if you have some weirdness where people are swapping the soda lines. Should be rare though, as you don’t want to swap which one says coke/sprite/w.e on the other end
- Comment on Babe can you refill my drink from the cloaca dispenser please? 2 weeks ago:
I used to be happy to see these because I knew I’d have more than one option that wasn’t carbonated. Many places usually have 1, which is either fake lemonade with artificial sweetener, fruit punch (0% juice), or Orange High-C. Which I’m glad they don’t claim is juice, because it’s just delicious sugar water.
