It can be annoying at times, but honestly it’s not too tough. It can be a little trickier getting out of the city, but I like to frame it that as long as I don’t rent a car more than 3 times a month, it’s still cheaper for me than even paying for a parking space at my apartment. And that’s ignoring maintenance, car insurance, car payment, and what have you.
I guess not everyone’s excited for a life that begins and ends with going to the same Tex Mex restaurant every Friday because there’s nothing better to do.
Starving yourself for 2 days and you only lost a pound? With a BMR of ~1800 calories/day, that tells me that you’re not really working as hard as you think you are the rest of the week. And that’s ignoring water weight, etc.
Why don’t you just do like every other dude in their late 20’s and switch to “hard liquor of your choice + soda” for a few weeks to lose weight? You’re going from 150-200 calories a drink to barely 100.
Right? After it’s officially a relationship, who doesn’t make an off-hand remark to get that birthday info, then excuse themselves to the restroom to quickly and discretely add that to a calendar with a two week notification?
Actually, I like that other dudes don’t do that, because it means I can put in the bare minimum and look like a goddamn catch.
Not sure where you’re getting your intel, but just about every single bar around Duval Street in Key West will pour you a to-go cup if you ask them. Hell, even if you don’t ask them.
I dunno, I find it hard to stay friends with someone who seems trapped in a lame “game” from 2010. The fireball is quick and less likely to give me a sugar-induced hangover the next day compared to Smirnoff Ice.
Eh, it’s really more the fact that it’s effectively an elevator conversation: you’re trapped having it no matter what. And it’s not as if cabbies are often interested in talking to you, so I don’t see the point in changing that mindset just because it’s an Uber.
I believe you meant the two other states who already don’t observe DST besides Florida are “Hawaii and Arizona,” not “Hawaii and Florida.”
But Daylight Savings Time is a stupid concept to begin with. It originated from a satirical article from Benjamin Franklin about how Parisians were lazy and the only way they’d wake up before lunch was to literally change the clocks back. It was then popularized by an amateur entomologist who wanted more sunlight to catch bugs after work. That’s it. That’s literally the basis of it all. There’s no science that supports it, it doesn’t conserve energy: it’s literally because of a Founding Father cracking jokes and a guy who likes bugs.
The whole thing is just a PITA and I’m perfectly fine with slowly but surely getting rid of it, even if it’s got to be piecemeal.
How can someone write off an entire CATEGORY of literature? Like “fiction” is a gigantic umbrella. That would be like saying you don’t like comedic movies.
Good infrastructure?
Bahahhahahhahahahahahaha

I don’t know about you, but I love every time the NYT writes an article about spending a weekend in DC as if it’s some small provincial town.
Ah yes, I forgot how early twentysomething bros who work on the Hill represent an entire city of 700,000.

Yeah, a lot of this was just a generic “I’m not used to cities” ramble.
“Just looking for the Creed Bratton to my Creed Bratton.”
I think I’ve seen that Shameless episode.

Yeah, BMI is really something that’s meant more for measuring a population rather than an individual.

Those damn millennials!

I think I like having the extra money in my pocket each month I don’t pay for cable instead, though.
Take shiny photos of their apartments that are partially subsidized by the First National Bank of Mom and Dad?
You need to figure in the coaching stipend. Without it, he’d be making 56k, which sounds about right if he’s in a higher COL area.
