Buddy of mine worked in health care, did urine testing. He’s got stories about people coming in way over the legal limit to drive but come across as sober

Sorry if it’s already been pointed out but they just kind of skipped over boats

Sarcastic humor aside, migratory agricultural work is a thing in the US. Some of my friends did it back in the 80’s. Live in a tent on site, earn by how much you pick, save money because no rent and no place to spend. No federal taxes. Blueberries here, apples there, travel to where the crops need picking. Clean fish in Alaska or work on the boats.

Don’t worry. Trump is making sure you can get a job picking crops. You’ll be living in a tent. No rent, not utilities. You’re welcome!

Top. Why would you abandon a mattress if it was all the way at the bottom?

Yeah any decent sci-fi before Star Wars was heady with little action. Logans Run, Silent Running. Also in my mind I saw sequels in general change from shameless cash grab to better attempts

Bite your tongue. Like a lot of things from the past, they need to be viewed in context

I put on sun screen every morning to ward off basal cell skin cancer. It sucks but it’s cheaper than going to the dermatologist to have basal cell skin cancer removed. The worst part is getting it in my eyes. On the plus side, the splotchy age spots on my temples have disappeared

Huh I’ve never seen a wall of these and I’m old enough to remember the 70’s. Glass block was something you replaced your old basement with
- Comment on Don't know shit in class 5 weeks ago:
In high school I had a very fine point tip pen for making cheat sheets. One day one of the stoners saw me making one and asked for a copy so I made him one. Later, two other stoners asked for copies so by the time I had to take the test, I had written everything four times and didn’t need the cheat sheet. This is how I learned writing things down is an effective memory tool.

I’d say pour salt into each pot but I fear the plants are the propery of a local nursery and it’s not their fault the store is managed by idiots

It’s too easy. Throw everything in the crock pot and in 8 hours you’re good to go. I like to break up the roast when it softens up to let the soup soak in better. My wife makes it. She might use golden mushroom soup instead of French onion. It’s a nice comfort food especially during the colder months

You forgot cream of mushroom soup
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 5 weeks ago:
Show him YouTube videos of the fox making the same noise? Hopefully you can convince him

I’m a connoisseur myself and travel with my own stash. The stuff they have in most public restrooms is so cheap it’s like wiping your ass with a CVS receipt.
- Comment on Bruh, chill 1 month ago:
I have a strategy for this when I get tailgated in the slow lane and it’s not brake checking because that’s what they expect. I’ll lock the cruise control to my desired speed. They get right up on my ass and don’t back off, I speed up putting space between me and them. At this point they’ll speed up and I’ll take my foot off the gas and let the car slow down back down to cruise control speed. The trick is to never touch the brakes. The driver behind me is alternating between speeding up and hitting the brakes. Eventually they’ll get tired of it and either pass or back off

I am on team Will Smith with this one. Never give a woman of color a hard time about her hair. I’d rather diffuse a bomb while in shark infested waters. I’ve been punk rock for 40+ years, had a mowhawk and other hairstyles outside of the norm (people used to want to fight you over this) and no demographic of human being has been more supportive when it comes to taking chances with fashion than black women. This is a hill I will die on

No money, not friends? Maybe that a signal it’s time to take a break from the screen

- Comment on Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York 2 months ago:
I can’t speak for NY but that is the situation in Cleveland. I have a customer downtown on city steam. I watch hot water discharge to a drain at the rate of about 3 gallons a minute and there’s 1440 minutes in a day. When it was built I’m sure they reclaimed most of it (80% return is considered good) but over time the pipe corrodes and you have leaks.
- Comment on Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York 2 months ago:
It’s terribly inefficient. The efficiency is lost when the steam that condenses back into hot water is lost and none of it is returned to the boiler to be reheated. Rather than reheating this returning water which normally is at 120-160 degrees Fahrenheit, fresh water is used which in the winter here is around 56 degrees. Aside from this the cold water taken in contains impurities such as dissolved gasses which cause corrosion and dissolved minerals which can cause scaling that acts as an insulator raising the amount of energy needed to heat the water.

If it were that simple everyone would have done it by now. This method of heating your building is very expensive. Long story short, I’m in the HVAC business and two of my customers have made themselves independent. One was a private property management company that gutted an empty building and was successful, the other is a federal building that hired a private company to convert over and got screwed.
