Fuck the haters. Buy what you like.

I’m getting ready to umpire a ballgame when I’m like 20. Come out of the room five minutes before game time, and both teams have gone sprinting to the dugouts because this massive swarm of wasps (bees? Maybe bees… it was over 20 years ago) came buzzing right over the field the game was supposed to be on. Heading southeast. Partner and I nope back into the room for a while.

Anyways. The insects continue on doing whatever wasp- (or bee-) like activities they were doing and we play the game.

Game goes well. I get changed and go home. Home is somewhere between 5-10 km southeast of the ballpark.

As I park and get out I notice that the family is freaking out. Swarm of wasps (or bees) had just buzzed their way over from the northwest and taken up residence in one of the walls of our carport.

Well?? Did it help??

I also enjoy the follow-up, “but the day is not yet over.” (This is a Star Trek reference, but “today is a good day to die” was written into Klingon culture by one of the writers who was a student of Native American history.)

Bidet attachments are like $50–100 on amazon, installable with very little know-how, and your family is under no obligation to use it.

If it’s straight nights it might not be too bad. I worked 2 days/2 nights/4 off for about 13 years and I would not go back now that I’m in a 9-5.

Unless you’re getting decent compensation for it, I would try and find something else. Humans just aren’t nocturnal.

I don’t think our points are mutually exclusive. Small sites can be shitty while the trend remains that sites get shittier as they get bigger.

People breed toxicity, especially if you disagree with them. The more people a site has, the shittier it is. People suck.

Interesting. Any sauce? Just curious why this is no longer a problem.

Just to add to this, being selective about which card(s) you use and maximizing bonus points can lead to some pretty significant travel benefits.

Was this a technological change, or did gas stations just not want people loitering on their phones?

I actually like nice catch, as long as it’s not an egregious error. There are often going to be mistakes in a document, even when prepared by someone completely competent. This acknowledges someone as being part of a process instead of focusing on an error.
