I just had that with Expedition 33. Every twist had me going “what?” And getting those perfect dodges was chef’s kiss

Salt Life

It’s big in southern US and Jeep/surfer culture. I would unironically wear a “slut life” shirt. Not so fun fact about Salt Life: The founder (54, M) shot and killed his teen girlfriend at the start of covid.

With new water heaters yes, do your maintenance. Old water heater that came with the place and hasn’t been touched in years? Yeah, the advice is to actually not flush it because you don’t know what cracks that gunk might be blocking up and it will be more likely to fail on you sooner.

Horned Demon and Marco Polo jokes aside, I say run with it. As much as millennials get crapped on for choosing weird names they’ve at least suck to it and I’d hope it would make room for more names. It has meaning to you, go for it.

Every kid will get picked on for their name at some point.

I dunno, his government tracks so far with what I remember of the film.

1. Feeling of Endless Hell
2. Waiting for it to be over
3. Everyone dying or in pain, in some cases at the hands of their own stupidity
4. Pretty much the only person who gets what they want is the one main character leading the thing
5. Swamp

Eh, not a problem at all. You can’t make it look exactly like my other three and I make sure to use the same tape measure throughout a project, really after the first couple cuts I’m not even using it I’m using the cut pieces to measure against.

I don’t care what the number actually is, just that I can mark in the same spot consistently.

I haven’t read the paper but they might mean “Generative AI”

Or maybe, just maybe, everyone communicates differently and sarcasm is hard to portray in written communication. Go eat some and chill a minute. I’ve heard plenty of people say the exact same thing you just said and did not mean it as sarcasm, which makes it even harder to tell.

If you’re being sarcastic it isn’t clear. “Just following orders” is never an excuse. The Nazis tried to use that one.

To be fair, that long ago the Internet felt like nothing but flash videos and flash games

That’s the old meaning of it. The new is “clock it”. Get with the times old man.

Or even better, libraries of functions you’ve built up over time from visiting stack overflow

Clock it 🤏🏼 (just imagine it’s the middle finger down)

Well duh, hot things are too hot to cross. That’s why they painted the Mexico fence black last week remember? If the fire heats the water too much they can’t cross it. It’s genius is hear, genius!

Google has actually released a software update to try to prevent the modem battery issue and are replacing the battery in affected models for free. Rare easy win from a megacorp

Not typically. You’ll see police along the major highways for speeders and the like but no state border patrol like that. Legally often transporting across state lines is a crime in and of itself but it’s one of those things where they look the other way unless they catch you using whatever item.

Often this is done for practical purposes, because if it’s legal in the state you started in, and might be legal in your final destination, they’d piss off more people that not of they stopped and confiscated from everyone.

It’s the salt mostly. Especially with indoor cats who often don’t get wet food and so are on the under hydrated side of things as they tend to not drink as much as they should.

Technically any without garlic or onion is safe for them to have a tiny bit as a treat but it’s so incredibly easy to overdo that it’s just safer to not give it to them.

Too much nitrates or nitrites is bad for cats yes, but they’d have to eat an excessive amount for it to be a concern and again the excess salt would be a bigger issue first.

I can (potentially) explain the double bagged paper. Growing up in the South that was the de-facto cooling rack, no wire racks or wax paper like you see today. They were cut open, laid on any flat surface, them cookies or cakes or what have you were laid on them to cool. They’d wick away moisture or grease and be easy clean up.

Free with groceries and if they were double bagged you had enough for a double batch of chocolate chip cookies while also usually guaranteeing (usually) the bag wouldn’t split from condensation or something before you got home.

They’re talking about bubble foam tea. Sure that was a thing but at least in any part of America I’ve been in, boba tea and bubble tea from the start was the tapioca pearl drink.

Some people get this purist notion that things can only ever be one thing and screech if someone uses a term differently.

The “bubbles” refers to the little edible tapioca balls at the bottom.

The name started as “bo ba”, the Chinese name for the tapioca pearls, and the west turned it into “bubble”. No idea what the original Chinese means, could just be bubble.

It’s often a sweeter milk tea (though pretty much anything goes these days)
