We also cold brew various tea blends in the fridge a stock pot full at a time. Dump in loose leaf in filtered water, leave overnight, strain with filter into cups. Strong AF and zero cal. Add stevia in my case, splenda in Tala's.

You like tea! That doesn't sound like you..
Some flavors of la croix are tolerable others are not. If I need bubbles I just get some from the store.
I used to love sodastream but their pricing for gas units became obnoxious after a time.
Boss is out this week; I'm filling in for him.
My top technician is out half this week. Filling in for him, too.
If the other three days of this week go like today did, I'll end up with overtime on a shortened holiday week. Again.
Adventures in "essential" item shipping from Amazon.
A week and a half ago the General and Crookshanks ordered a swimsuit and some summer clothes, they have yet to ship.
Friday we finally gave up on finding Tiny T-Rex's 3DS charging cable and I ordered a new one. Only being ten dollars and needing to add more to quantify for free shipping I also ordered the Pathfinder 2 Bestiary pawn box. They'll arrive tomorrow.
We later found the charging cable (stashed away with the winter coats) and we haven't even started a 2nd edition campaign yet (and I already have five previous Bestiary pawn boxes from Pathfinder Classic) so it's pretty much the least essential items we've gotten to date.
I don't like Le Croix, but then again I barely drink any sort of soda anyway (once or twice a month I'll have a coke or root beer, maybe).

Pleasant surprise - when I was getting groceries, I decided to get some fish... And it ended being zrazy made out of smoked salmon, three filled with spinach, three filled with cranberries. I was skeptical at first, but decided to give it a try as they were not expensive... And it was a blast, after putting them inside buns they tasted great.

FLORIDIAN RACIAL TRAITS:FEAT AND SKILL RACIAL TRAITS
- Ability Score Modifiers: Floridian Characters gain a +2 racial bonus to Strength, Constitution, and Charisma, and a -4 racial penalty to Intelligence and Wisdom.
- Size: Floridians are Medium creatures.
- Type: Floridians are Humanoids with the Human and Chaotic subtypes.
- Base Speed: Floridians have a base speed of 30 feet.
- Languages: Floridians begin play speaking Common and do not gain extra languages known for high Intelligence. Furthermore, Floridians must spend twice as many ranks in Linguistics before they can gain a new language known.
FLORIDIAN AGE CATEGORIES
- Menacing: Floridians are unusually fierce and frightening despite their often unimpressive stature or build. A Floridian gains a +2 racial bonus to Intimidate, and always treats Intimidate as a class skill regardless of their class.
- Drugs - Probably Weird Ones: Floridians often possess unusual intoxicants, drugs, medications, or alchemical compounds on their persons that they can make use of at the drop of a hat. A Floridian gains a +2 racial bonus on Craft (Alchemy) checks and may make these checks even if untrained. Furthermore, as long as the Floridian has spent some time in the day resting, they can be assumed to have stashed a dose of a drug on their person and once per day may consume it as a swift action. This drug gives them a +10 alchemical bonus to their speed, 5 temporary hit points per level, and immunity to Fear and Charm effects for 1 minute. At the end of this duration they are fatigued for 2 minutes, as a Barbarian ending their Rage would be.

I left, so I clearly have a circumstance bonus to my Int and Wis.
...and many South Floridians speak Spanish. Being bilingual is an unofficial requirement for a lot of jobs in the Miami area. Def gonna need a South Floridian variant without the language problems, but with a crippling economic penalty due to ridiculous housing prices and s!%+ty income that does not compensate whatsoever.
A quick survey: What's your favorite genres to
a) read/watch/enjoy from outside
b) play an RPG as a player
c) play/run as a GM
d) write as non-interactive prose
?
I'm curious if these don't overlap, and if not, why, especially as the spectrum changes interactivity level.

Good to know! Altough I like captain yesterdays answer as well :)A toad-floater is rural Texas terminology for a sudden, hard thunderstorm.
WW's granddaddy used to say it a lot.They are a lot of fun!
In related news, Crookshanks rescued her first toad at work today.
Yeah! Go Crookshanks! Save those poor toads!

Can someone please explain to me how the f**k taking a knee is disrespectful to our flag, but this horses**t is not?

You could take Crookshanks and Tiny T-Rex with you and cover them with your alliases' tags as well.

No, some people like dressing the family in matching outfits or t-shirts. We're not those people.

It could be a special event. After the speech of the guest of honour (Kobold Cleaver? Napoleon? Cyndi Lauper?), we could have Yesterday's Parade of 1,000 Aliases, Complete With All The Voices.

Apparently, co-worker roped us into doing some masonry. There is a flower bed we're building a new planter box for and the customer and co-worker decided we should build it like the base of a barn (to match the rustic swiss chalet look) and since I'm the only one who can mix concrete guess who gets to do the majority of the work.
The boss says to me "I guess you guys are masons today!" So I say "I guess we're building a barn".
To be honest, it's all pretty annoying.

Because they're the one doing it, and it's not being done as a support of something they don't like or a protest against something they do.
It's that simple.

One of the Dead Kennedys' best political songs (if you can't understand Jello (a common complaint), read the lyrics), and as appropriate today as it was nearly 40 years ago.

The best thing my high school did for every reunion was make our name badges with our senior yearbook photo on them.
I think forum name/avatar would be the best way to do this. I've been to too many events where I only knew people from online and could never figure out who they were with the official first name as the predominant visual identifier.
I'm easy enough to spot, just look for the guy that looks like Stereotypical Jesus.

I've mentioned it before, but Tim Armstrong gave me my first mohawk.
My younger brother was constantly hanging around the Operation Ivy crowd, and my best friend played bass for them when they were jamming at one of the band member's houses, so I have a long social history with Rancid and Op Ivy.
Except Matt Freeman was kind of a jerk in high school.

Signs that your dishwasher is a piece of junk:
(1) Knowing full well that it can't handle dried-on food or any food particles, you get fed up and load the dishwasher with dirty dishes anyway, following the advice of all those, "Your dishwasher really can handle all that filth" columnists. So in went bits of leftover curry, clumps of rice, peanuts, dried-on sauce. Whatever.
(2) Needless to say, the food particles got past the filter and into the dishwasher mechanisms and stuff jammed up. I found an apple stem, a peanut, and a bit of chutney blocking up the intake ports, but even removing them didn't fix things. My dishwasher no longer works.
(3) As I'm taking the dishwasher apart piece-by-piece to try to find the source of the jam, I'm having to hand-wash the entire family's dishes.
(4) Hand-washing the dishes is barely any harder than all the prep work I have to do to get the dishes ready for the dishwasher anyway. Prep work: Scrape off the food, rinse off any dried on stuff, and put the "clean but non-soaped" dish into the dishwasher. Full wash: Add soap and a rinse.
*SIGH*

The person writing the pizzeria's website should get a kick to their ass. The shopping part of the website had the name written differently than the website itself, so the chrome kept blocking it. Only when I looked into blocked cookies I found they added "-" in the middle of the shop, and with a longer extension, so it didn't fit the exception for the chrome to allow the website to set cookies. Thankfully I succeeded on my Computer use check to manually add the shopping webpage to exceptions and order.
Coincidentally, the pizzeria is called "Miami"... Florida manages to mess things even here, apparently.

I'm pretty sure there isn't enough space on the human body for that many name tags.
According to wikipedia, the average surface area of a man is 1,9 m².
A fairly small name tag is 62 x 43 mm, which is rounded down 26 square cm.One square meter is 10.000 square cm.
So you could put 730 name badges on your body, if you utilize every square mm of your skin.

Anything beyond showing up is out of the question.
I'm not one of those people who dresses up or puts on a show so if that's what you're expecting you're going to be extremely disappointed.
