Either is fine, so long as it’s not brogues

Whippets is a reference to inhaling the nitrous which causes a short temporary high (so you have to keep doing them I guess). I didn’t know what they were until I helped out a friend who GM’d a hotel. They needed a maintenance guy and I just moved there so I took it for a few months and trained their new guy or w.e. (I don’t know shit about hotels but mostly it is just standard plumbing and electrical issues). Had a leak on the first floor coming into the gym. Traced it back upstairs to the third floor. Bunch of young adults had ~500 whippets around the room, they refused to let us in, I eventually got in and found they did something to the toilet, it kept running, they were to fucked up to notice the night before and it leaked through the bathroom floor, down an inside barrier wall and made the ceiling collapse in the gym. Wouldn’t have been an issue had they just reported the leak when it happened… instead it took us hours to get them to let us into the room, and they didnt spend the time cleanjng anything, just not wanting to get up. Whatever they did, they sure as shit weren’t going to have fun explaining the damages they caused to their parents, because I don’t think the hotel/police were letting them skip out on paying for it.

That sounds nice actually, I haven’t done any holidays foods yet this year. But also the temperature here is going wacky. It’s 23 outside right now, and tomorrow the high is 2. It’s changes like that which make us understand why tornados are common. Hard to feel like Christmas at 23C

Used to have a place that did thin large slices, kind of like $1 slices in NY used to be. They would have honey available in case people wanted to put honey on the crust. Always loved it

I wondered why the PS5 didn’t have optical out when the PS3 did, then thinking back on it, I probably never owned content/speakers that were good enough to really tell the difference. I had routed the PS3 audio to a receiver with 5.1 surround, and video to a projector via HDMI. Then just played media from an external/had a dual boot to yellowdog Linux at the time. Was fun for young me, hell the projector was probably only 720p at the time

Yeah companies like BYD have investors like Berkshire and Blackrock but the key is Wang Chuanfu who is in the party, and is the CEO and largest owner apparently. So he gets a lot of say in making himself richer apparently. Sounds like what Musk would have wanted for Tesla if he could have got MAGA off the EV hate

China isn’t a communist country really. A state capitalist country would be better way to describe it, maybe. They participate in the markets and allow private ownership of companies. For instance BYD the fast coming EV manufacturer isn’t majority owned by their federal government, but is subsidized by it.

People can argue if it is or isn’t capitalism, but in the end that doesn’t say communism. I’m no expert but I’d say maybe a social programs injected into a authoritarian capitalistic state.

What other animals do we call things? Dog, fox, cow, pig, horse, hawk, elephant. There really are a few

Yikes, hopefully that isn’t true, especially since the allegation starts when she was 3 and he 12, but damn how sad is it that the damages requested is 75k. In just interest the guy makes about 500k a day.

Oh yeah, I’d love it to be sans beans… it’s just not going to be cost worthy for my budget. Good chili makes sense to not have beans, but whispers privilege, haha

As soon as someone says like don’t like beans in their chili I think that chili is going to be out of my budget. Most foods heavily rely on other things to help fill you up. Chili you can’t exactly put random carbs into to keep the cost down. Onions and peppers cook down for great flavors but minimal filling. Sure you could add more cheese and sour cream which keto diets would probably love but that isn’t getting your cost / filler down.

My stomach is likely just to big, I need to cut portions and let it shrink
