In tech, we’re also used to getting free pop/soda. I haven’t worked somewhere yet that had free energy drinks in the fridge, but if I got a job that had unlimited free Red Bull I would never leave (and probably die of a heart attack).
I think you’re actually right about the term “knot’ coming from that usage, but nautical mile was definite prior to the usage of said knots to measure how many nautical mph they were going. Sailing is fucking confusing.
That’s definitely not right. “Knot” is simply short for “nautical mile”. Wikipedia explains the nautical mile was originally defined as “as one sixtieth of the distance between two parallels of latitude separated by one degree”. “Nautical” does not pertain to the fact that sailors use knots a lot, either.
Question for folks on diets: who the fuck actually likes kale? I occasionally make collard greens cooked sauteed with bacon (i think the B vitamins and bacon fat cancel each other out), and last night TJ’s only had kale so I tried that. It wasn’t awful, but it was not near as good as other greens or not eating kale.
I did sliced flatiron steak with a churrascaria marinaide, deglazed to make a butter sauce, served with garlic mashed potatoes and a some greens. And an Evil Twin Simcoe Slacker IPA tallboy.
I just kinda picked the Bordeaux region and stuck with it because it’s easier to memorize which appellations within it I enjoy and their characteristics than all of France let alone the whole world. That, and I’m don’t enjoy buying highly overrated wines with names like “Toby” from California for $50+. There’s plenty of great wine in California, but the vineyards need to stop it with the branding shit and make a name off good wine instead of starting with the name.
There’s a small but vocal group of people in my office that find things to email about after hours that almost certainly could be addressed during normal work hours. In my experience, it’s almost always better to have somebody address a problem fresh and relaxed rather than scrambling outside of normal work hours. If you’re constantly running into critical problems outside of planned work hours, that’s a symptom of a more disturbing issue than people not liking to check emails after work.
I bought a beachside couples’ massage for my girlfriend and I on vacation last week because she gets massages a lot. I’d never had one before, and I have to say it was pretty relaxing, but only slightly moreso than the discomfort of having to get naked on request in front of a rando woman who wasn’t trying to bang me. Any dudes here get massages regularly?
That reminds me of my technique to not get hassled by panhandlers walking home from work or the bars after dark. Wear my ratty winter jacket I’ve had since college, relax my body, and just kinda put off a zombie vibe. Nobody wants to fuck with that.
Topeka is just awful. Not Salina awful, but still pretty bad. “Well, I love the desolation of living in a flyover state but I still want the option to have my house broken into.”
I can tell yah getting that $60K gig or the next one or the next one after that won’t alleviate the feeling of having been dealt a bad hand. There’s always going to be somebody from high school or college who you feel is one-upping you in success despite not having (in your opinion) put in the same effort. Not that I manage it everyday, but I’m trying to stop keeping up with the Joneses and just do what makes me happy.
The rules are: 1) whoever finishes the race first wins (duh). 2) you must finish your entire beer (or G&T in our case) before completing the race. 3) you cannot drink AND drive at the same time.
My preferred method is to drive all the way to the finish line on the last lap then chug it.

I am not surprised that Creed has a purse.

Alternate? You fancy.

My bad, I know what pro bono mean I just failed at reading.
Did Steve do it as a favor? If not, did he convince the rental company to pay his fees since they instigated the whole thing?
Remember when people waited until the New Year’s Day hangover set in to bitch about New Year’s Eve?
Totally disagree about Ballers being bad. Characters all grow on you and the NFL and sportcaster cameos are great.
