So, wooooooow...
I don't tend to watch a lot of the "comedy news" crowd, but I had 20 free minutes over lunch so I watched John Oliver's take on the upcoming eviction tsunami, and
(1) I'm happy as heck I'm not a landlord in that situation, since I'd 100% go the way of, "You lost your job due to COVID-19? OK. You don't have to pay any rent at all until you find a new job."
Having THAT battle with my mother and brothers would probably end up getting the house sold right out from under the poor tenant, because I wouldn't back down. Fortunately, our tenant is apparently doing perfectly fine working from home and continuing to pay the ludicrous rent on that place.

At least I have time until 9th Of July to decide to get it, or spend money from my PayPal on something else...

That's ok, it's just a mild ketchup. I am not much of a fan of hot spices.
I was too lazy to make garlic sauce. I am not sure if I even have any mayo left anyway.

I imagine that if we ever do a FaWtL-CON, everyone should wear a badge with their forum name and avatar.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 cant identify people on the forums when they change avatar. So yeah.

So in my typical Socratic method, rather than explaining something to him, I asked him the question so that he would explain it to himself. "What do you have that I don't have?" was supposed to be answered by, "A great immune system" or "Better resistance to COVID-19".
Instead I got a Dead Dad joke.
I thought it was pretty hilarious in its appalling tastelessness.

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*
Unless your dishwasher explicitly contains a garbage disposal, it cannot handle food. Suggestions to the contrary are wishful thinking.
*peers through the window*
Maybe I should give that game a try?
30 GB space?
Nope, nope, nope...
It will have to wait for some other day when I will be in mood for making some space, waiting for it to installing it, and likely be disappointed when my laptop will not be handling it particularly well :(

The problem with being a sensible old white male is... that I can learn.
I was one of the, "Rinse aids for your dishwasher are a rip-off perpetrated by the dishwasher detergent companies."
In fact, the whole, "But if your dishes are coming out of the dishwasher wet, or with food bits still stuck to them, give rinse aid a whirl," hits waaaay too close to home...

I have two dishwashers. I usually call them arms though.
Crap. Even if I (inevitably) give up and buy Bloodstained, that monster needs 10 GB to install...

I reached my limit, I told the boss I won't be going back to the brewery job, too many people piling too much b#!#!~~~ on my shoulders.
I can wear a mask, work in the sun on 90 degree days, mix mortar, chisel glue off of blocks, and deal with co-worker's b~!&+*!*. But not all at the same time.

Want a piece of hawaiian?
I am gorged... And I will still be eating it tomorrow, and maybe even on Thursday.

Wait... Isn't that an oxymoron?
That's interesting. I saw a rabbit go sprinting across the parking lot, and then 20 seconds later I saw a fox go trotting past like it was Pepe le Pew chasing the girl cat in the cartoons.
love him so much.

It's not something I'm going to concern her with. I'm not a public blow up person, I just hold it all in and then vent to the wife if I need to, or in this case tell the boss politely I'm not going back to that s!%$ hole of a town.

Ronald Reagan's name came up at the breakfast table this morning as part of a discussion about Jelly Beans, and specifically, why there are blueberry-flavored Jelly Bellys.
Teensy Valeros: REAGEN?!? That's a GIRL's name.
Me: It's only a girl's name in Shakespeare, honey.
(I neglected to mention that I actually knew a family of actors who named their eldest daughter Regan. They named their other daughter Paige, not Goneril. Cowards.)

As gonorrhea is still an issue, I can see why they would not.

We're working in Dane, a town so small they only have 3-4 bars, a gas station and one WW 2 memorial.
Is that small?

The name Goneril is overdue for a comeback.

Reminds me of a farce/parody of Greek tragedy I wrote in college: “Chlamydia, Queen of Ilium.”
The title was funnier than the play, alas.

If you can get the exotic dancers to embrace, then perhaps it will percolate back into the general population. It seems like the first 10 female Regan/Reagans I met were all dancers. A male classmate named Regan went on to work at ILM and did well.

I'm guessing the gas station has a bait cooler and a live well with minnows and crappie?
Is that small?It’s smaller than Brooklyn.
Most places are.
We need to become our own city again, dammit. We are not some lesser suburb of Manhattan. Long Island is a lesser suburb of Brooklyn!

There is only so far you can go with naming your child before every court of peers will call the kid's future actions justified homicide.

Yes, also the memorial is adjacent to the feed mill.
