Why is the building having 14 floors relevant here?

LA Kings are worse, relatively speaking, than USC Trojan football team.

Kyle Clifford scores the only goal vs the Stars.

Very briefly, but my calculations admittedly weren't the clearest given that I was so appalled by the sheep's behavior. I mostly just wanted to get the hell out of there.

I gave incomplete information. Sorry about that. I was going to the 7th floor of 14. Sheep's floor was unknown.

All the more reason to remain in the elevator - odds are greater you are getting off first.

I'm sure someone was glad they didn't need to ride with a weirdo.

People driving my car and not up shifting enough.

"Blue wave"

Starbucks a few years ago: walk into an empty store, walk out with your drink a couple minutes later.

Starbucks now: walk into an empty store, wait 10 minutes while 20 drinks pile up for people who aren't there.

Same thing is happening to all my local casual dining places.

I get the Starbucks thing - even though I personally hate messing with yet another app - and kinda like ordering from a human. Also I have gotten a ticket in my neighborhood for texting at a stop light so I try to mess with my phone as little as possible while driving.

But the food places - by the time it sits there and your grubhub guy gets lost - it's not remotely the same thing. All the stuff that works well for delivery - like pizza and chinese food - is already being delivered. Piping hot crispy rotisserie chicken - insanely good in the restaurant - is like half as good 15 minutes later. Meh and soggy. it's like those kids blaring music out of a little mono speaker. Quality is dead.

Probably because 18-30 year olds can't cook anything besides ramen and avocado toast. I'm in the middle of writing an article for work about 3/4 millennials surviving check to check. Their number one non Cost of Living expense being Coffee/Eating out.

I find it amazing how many people just never learned to cook. I know dozens of people like this. They literally just can't do it. It's crazy.

This. It doesn't stop to amaze me how many people live without having cooking a part of their normal routine.

People wearing hoodies or light jackets at the gym at any time, but especially so when it is 75 and sunny outside.

Half the people at my work wear jackets all day long. One has a full on winter coat. It's not cold. I don't get it.

I would be shocked if the winter coat wearer was a man.

Indian dude. Not super skinny. The others are all pretty skinny so I guess if I'm comfortable they must be cold.

Indian dudes are used to it be a million degrees in the winter, they are probably cold when it's 70 out.

**** off with your valley girl speak.

Although this is the wrong thread, I'll just point out that the idiom is, 'It never ceases to amaze me.'

Don't know how people do without cooking either. Ready-meals are all right occasionally, but mainly, come the evening, you want to get chopping onions.

idioms are difficult. Tx. Really appreciate.

The misuse of gargle and gurgle.

Ripini,

What should have pissed you off is the fact that you didn't push all the buttons before jumping into the other elevator.

that our culture frowns on spending too long standing naked under a steady stream of hot water.

It really pisses me off when young people I work with complain about not having money when they ****ing buy coffee every day. Eating out, well at least you have to eat anyway. But coffee is pure extravagance.

People who think coffee is optional. Got a better cure for a bad case of the mondays, pal?

Someone at my work suggested that we all wear these pink stripe breast cancer epaulets for October, so we all spent the $20 on the things to show our support.

What an absolutely useless and self-serving thing to do. $20, of which maybe (who knows?) $10 goes to actual breast cancer research or awareness or something, and we get to parade around wearing these things to show off what great people we are. I had to join in of course, because being the only one at work not wearing them would make me an *******.

Last year I gave $1000 to the schistosomiasis control initiative, which goes out to third world countries curing parasitic diseases. It costs $1.50 to treat one case for an entire year, which makes a huge difference in the lives of Africans and others because schistosomiasis mostly affects children and causes life-long physical and mental disabilities.

Meanwhile I just gave $20 for some pink epaulets, $10 of which might go to cancer research, and if there is ever a cure, it will still cost $10s of thousands of dollars to cure one person, and the disease affects mostly rich first world people who have it pretty good anyway.

So I get to wear these self-congratulatory pink epaulets to show off my support for breast cancer research, which cost me next to nothing and will save maybe .0001 of a human life. What a stupid world!

Make coffee at home, or tea, or just harden up
