I haven't had this happen yet, but this is a top-level gear grinder. It would drive me nuts.

Depends on whether it is a Yeti or a Stanley

It tends to be folks who are on diets and want to feel full all the time.

In the specific case I'm thinking of, it wasn't.

Maybe a health or dietary issue and its more than just water in there?

Does it look like Tang? Or whatever that stuff pharmacists give people a shot of?

Home renovation shows where these stupid dildos are smashing things with sledgehammers and making a big production of it.

If you're actually doing your own work you're more careful so you don't damage anything else that will cost you more time and effort to repair later. You use a prybar and certainly do not scream or laugh. Hate these dummies.

If you don't have to be careful to not damage anything else, hooooooo boy does smashing something with a sledgehammer feel good though. So, so cathartic.

If you’re not using a sledgehammer at every opportunity are you even living?

Cool Story Bro...

It wasn't a sledgehammer, but merely a regular hammer. But when I was a kid I was at my friend's father's funeral and my goddamned car would not start.

So I'm just swinging away at my battery with a hammer...because its the only tool I have and the only one in the vicinity until the bastard started.

We're at the graveyard. I got her started. Eventually. Just needed to harden the connection.

I remember at the reception afterwards people telling me that watching me going to town hammering on my battery made a whole bunch of otherwise very sad people laugh at a very sad moment.

So it wasnt all bad.

Edo was my favorite fast food joint for years until I gave Tuk Tuk Thai a try. Somehow a fast foot joint has figured out how to make Thai food that's more authentic than any of the expensive sit down restaurants I've tried in town. I ignored Tuk Tuk when I first saw them as I thought they'd just be a Thai Express clone, but I wad dead wrong. If I need some quick takeout and want to stay on the healthier side of things that's my new go-to place now

It knew the score.

Weird. Well then the gear grinder is the notification not coming through then, because Uber, skip, basically every delivery app relies on notifying you through the app, not ringing doorbells.

I started using tallow and lard a lot more recently. Always more than enough trimmings to make a nice batch after buying a brisket or a pork loin.

This is a good one. My wife and many of her friends carry water bottles around all the time. I dont get it.

I've been meaning to keep track of how many times she askes "Where is my water bottle?", or how many minutes she wastes a day looking for it. Instead of walking around the house looking for it, just grab a cup and go to the friggin tap. Its easier and closer. Its comical and WEIRD.

I do recognize the benefits of hydration, but do you really get that parched shopping at Costco? Or driving across the city?

We live in a 1st world country. Water is readily available pretty much everywhere.

I have noticed its also almost exclusively females who carry these emotional support water bottles. Its never guys.
