It would be peak French if this happened while on the way to a protest.

Warning: this will destroy medication if it’s left out. You may want to move your pills to the refrigerator first (after first checking the temperature - see article).

Actually, if you live in a hot climate and don’t use A/C, you should probably do that anyway.

i was gonna say. Properly deep/stacked pizzas, casseroles, and calzones are the way to go here.

You’re lucky. They’re well-intended, but really awful. You’re supposed to traverse the intersection in the order you arrive. All it takes is for one jackass to waive* their right of way, or run the intersection, and the other three drivers are thrown into disarray. Add multiple lanes to this and, well… good luck everyone!

* Often literally waving at you to go. Through the intersection. At the wrong time.

Well, they can take my plugins and Tampermonkey when they pry it from my cold, dead, hands.

I learned on a 1st gen Saturn. That’s before GM ruined the brand. It had a good deal of pickup to it, and was a lot of fun in the snow.

I don’t miss it though. If I lived somewhere I could joyride with zero hills, traffic or parallel parking, sure. Otherwise? It’s not worth it.

Honestly, this is why I fled suburbia for someplace more integrated and communal.

I looked around and realized that I barely knew who lived there, and nobody had my back. Likewise, if someone was in trouble, I would never hear about it. I’m not unfriendly by any means, it’s just the whole tract-housing setup with no communal space is practically engineered to divide people up. Heap work hours and commute time on top of that, and all you know is someone keeps a car in so many driveways overnight; you never see any people. Everyone there really kept to themselves, as the environment made that easy to do.

I’m happy to say that I’m in a place now that would likely band together if it came down to it.

All I know is that a simple 4-way stop, with multiple lanes in all directions, has an effort:chaos ratio that is off the charts. No need for multi-million-dollar engineering projects.

Number 8 all the way. I’m still here, just boxin’ along, but I’ve been through some things.

I’m not. ChatGPT is trained on my Reddit posting history so it sounds like me half the time…

I was going to defend why it’s like that, but then I realized that I’m woefully under-qualified to defend any aspect of modern English as something well-understood, thought-out, or otherwise consistent with the rest of the language. Either you’re at the top of this field, or a rank amateur - there is no in-between. If I’m going to get skewered on the internet today, I’d rather it be in a Trek forum or something.

TL;DR: English is a mess.

I served at a restaurant that had this. Not only was the entire dining room a de-facto smoking area, despite the zoning, but it mattered for nothing if your section was smoking or not. Between the constant smell of fry grease and cigarettes, I wanted to burn my uniform after every shift. And since I was depending on a low paying job, guess how often laundry happened? :(

PSA: Tipping culture is a problem, but so are server wages. Please help 'em out; their job is miserable.

Sure but, hear me out, imagine having most of your project sourcecode on the screen at the same time without having to line-wrap.

Maybe an AI-upscaled version of a reposted low-res (and on the way to being deep-fried) jpeg?

This isn’t ageist. This is classist.

Reddit?! Okay, that’s pretty terrible. It’s one thing to have region-locked copyright for stuff, but disallowing VPNs for a web forum? While we don’t need more evidence that they’ve turned heel, that’s an awful big red flag.

Both of those (pea and rice) are just starchy AF before processing. My best guess is that isolating pea/rice protein is a real bitch to pull off since most of it isn’t protein to begin with. Soy should be cheaper but that might be changing here real soon…

As others here have indicated: he was also courting the personification of death itself.

So he’s a “death obsessed environmental terrorist.” I think that’s worse.
