I really appreciated how close the sink was to the toilet in my hotel room during my last bout.

To be fair though, he's come a long way since kindergarten.

I'm with you in not getting this. I think the concert comparison is useful. What a lot of people get out of a live show is a connection with the crowd. A bunch of people around them all expressing energy about the same thing. I think it's the same with a political rally. Personally I don't get this--I just lack the gene for getting into crowd energy or something. But a lot of people really enjoy this, and people ramp each other up. I kind of think it's a human instinct we'd be better of without.

Assuming they mean this as a joke, there's not really much point in responding at all. Bad jokes are best just ignored.

Contact Delhaize corporate. Even just from a PR standpoint that manager is an asshat for not accepting the return of a 2 euro product, and corporate might not be happy about it.

But...but...but...that's not a magic bullet with instant gratification! We expect it to work like Amazon where we just order the thing we want and get it the next day.

Anyone who doesn't like what someone does can call it robbery. Like charging a price that is too high in someone's opinion.

But robbery in a legal sense is about property. If you dig up body in a legal cemetary, which generally means owned by some organization that runs the cemetery, that is probably real persecutable grave robbery. Elsewhere, not so much.

The words have very different origins. While I think they converged for a time, they started out different.

I use "mold" for the fungus and the tool, "mould" for composted soil.

You need to add some disclaimer to this diagram like "not to scale"...

They're "differently symmetrical."
