You Know What Really Grinds My Gears? Now with 3x more gears...

^^ has anyone in the history of time written it as “kmh”?

So, I know KD is #### now. Whatever it is that they changed in the flavour packet made it taste and smell of ass. Still, I can occasionally sneak a box of KD onto the lunch menu at home if enough time has gone by and the kids have forgotten why they hated it. BUT has anyone else noticed that the pasta noodle has changed as well? It isn't as sturdy/robust as it was years ago. When I boil it (not over boil, 7 minutes), it shreds and comes apart in the water. The texture is gnarly. FU Kraft, you make it harder to be a parent nowadays. How they can sell it for over $1 a box is beyond me.

I’ve never seen it until now.

Oh and kph, kmh…. Cos it’s really km/h.

Not sure it that GMGs more, or those who blow past you in a construction zone but then maintain that speed one through the zone and end up holding everyone up that they just passed a few seconds ago because they are now doing less than the limit.

Yeah for me it is just Annie's mac & cheese. It is pricy so I only get it on sale but it is lightyears ahead.

It's obviously kilometers per hour. No idea how you could get any other conclusion.

[topfiverecords]

Short for kilometer is km. Per is /. Hour is h.

Gosh, that must have cost you what, 12 seconds of travel time?

Edit: probably way less than that, but too lazy to do the math.

Cancer is certainly more than a gear grinder. But how people around your family react is a mega gear grinder. I can’t believe the amount of people (friends of my parents) who emotionally dump on me, worried about my parents (one is starting chemo), worried about what will happen, mentioning how scary it must be because I’ve had other close family member succumb to cancer… etc. people are ####ing insane. Just ask me if I need anything and leave me the #### alone.

It always comes across so goddamn fake too. Definitely a gear grinder

everything you've said is true.

We either buy Annie's, or Cheetos brand.

Holy #### going through the same thing right now.

I'm worried about you Sliver. It must be so scary. I will pray for you. Maybe send you an emotional support dog (rescued from Nose Hill Park).

I don't know man, maybe the post about the family member with cancer isn't the one for that?

Ie - there were no "fotze's mom" jokes on the thread about her having MAiD, for good reason.

Stop making excuses for strugglers. The rules around school playground zones are stupid enough as it is.

I appreciate that, bizaro, but no harm done.

Certainly no disrespect intended.

Yes, when there’s virtually zero chance of anyone being out such as -30 during a snowstorm.

My original Comment was merely an extension of a recent series of comments about driving under the posted speed limits on major roads such as Deerfoot. Does the same angst exist for also driving below the posted speed limits in Playgrounds?

Personally, no

KD hasn’t changed at all and seems exactly as good (or bad) as it has always been. I always chalk KD criticism up to user error.

Cheetos mac & cheese is a crime against humanity, though. The absolute worst. You cannot cook those noodles into an acceptable texture and the Flamin Hot version is just tastelessly hot.
