People who don’t eat the pizza crust have no backbone and won’t survive the zombie apocalypse. And even if they do, they won’t be let into my post apocalyptic fortress, because they have no backbone which they have proven by not eating their pizza crusts.
In every job there is pleasure and pain. If you cannot stomach some doughy stumps or find a way to interleave the crust of your slice with the center of your next slice, you and I won’t be friends.
The split between "Today" and "Tomorrow" is at midnight, not when one sleeps/wakes up.
This comes up often after midnight when my girlfriend asks me about "tomorrow". Why discuss breakfast for tomorrow when we still haven't had breakfast today??
Some computer nerd friends and I came up with a solution for this:
Computer architectures typically provide separate instructions for "logical" and "arithmetic" bit-shifts. The details as to why aren't important, but we can borrow the nomenclature.
When referring to "tomorrow" in the sense of "when I wake up from my next sleep cycle", use "logical tomorrow". When referring to "tomorrow" in the sense of "after midnight tonight", use "arithmetic tomorrow" (or "chronological tomorrow", if you really want to be pedantic).
A steel ball is not a ball bearing. A bearing is something that bears load and allows for motion, usually rotation. There are sleeve bearings which are just one material or journal bearings which have pressurized oil to separate the spinning shaft. A ball bearing is an assembly with rolling elements (balls, rather than rollers). Those steel balls are just called balls. The whole assembly is called a ball bearing. I used to work in bearing manufacturing and they were just called balls.
Chocolate soda needs to make a comeback.
It never went away for me, I just make it myself!
I'll have like 1/4 glass of milk and add chocolate syrup then as I mix that I add seltzer and if stirring correctly it won't fizz up. I know people say adding the acidity of seltzer spoils the milk, but I've never noticed it when I make it.
Spoiling milk is all about the ratio of the fat. It's why cream is used in alcoholic drinks. The higher fat content of the cream means it can take more without spoiling. Try yours with skim milk vs. whole and taste the difference.
If a company has a bad interface on their electronic item I’ll not buy it. To me it’s a big hill but I guess it’s how you want to look at it. I’ll stop buying anything from that company if they keep doing it
If i need wifi, bluetooth, or an app to use a product that shouldn’t need it (eg a toaster, toothbrush) i will not buy it. i also won’t buy a wireless device (say a bluetooth speaker) if it requires an app. I would be willing to pay $500 more to have a tv with no smart features than a ‘smart’ tv. corporations: keep your shitty malware. my phone is a temple.
