It's been a long time, but I used to work at a corporate dining place that did a lot of take out business. I once had a man ask for "as much thousand island dressing as possible".

I was going to just give him two portions, but my coworker convinced me to fill a large soda cup instead. Why not? We worked for tips after all.

The customer was pretty bewildered. He clearly didn't really want that much dressing.

If I had my way, regulations would require a physical connection for all door handles, and not just that a secondary physical release be available. I don't know how you would go about finding injuries associated with each design as a layperson, but I bet there's a death or two associated with each novel design.

An old man roasted in his Cadillac XLR because the battery was dead and he didn't know where the secondary release was. I think it's under the seat on that car. I don't care how cool that electronic door release was, or if the old man was negligent in not knowing his exits; it wasn't worth his life.

It's a good reminder of how influenced we are by our surroundings, even when we try to be aware of the effect. Or maybe especially when we try to be aware.

I was staying strong until I saw they were already sundowning windows 10. 10! They just came out with that shit. I have no intention of upgrading to the latest advertising package.

It certainly creates an incentive to act in ways that please the customer at the expense of the business. But the restaurant controls your access to the customer, so it's best to tread lightly.

I agree! And I like to think that, as he looked over his several bottles worth of dressing in a beverage cup, he did learn to consider his words more carefully.

But I didn't mind the whole experience. It's not my dressing and it made for a pretty funny story.

If you're in the sand box, does it count as a blumpkin? Or is it toilet specific.

I had Neatos for years. They worked great until they didn't; I always had to do a lot of troubleshooting. Now I have a Wyze vacuum, which I think is a rebrand of a larger Chinese brand. It doesn't clean as well as the Neatos, but it's had no problems so far, and it was much cheaper.

There's plenty of reviews out there if you want to get into it, and it does seem like some of the more expensive ones out there have some really nice features. But if you've been on the fence for a while my advice is to pick a well reviewed affordable one and go for it.

Once you have something cleaning your floors you'll have more time to research which one is the ultimate vacuum.

Haha, fair enough. I seem to have lost track of the years somewhere in there.

If someone has been involuntarily committed it means they've already shown an intention to harm themselves or others. So the goal is not to stop them from feeling bad but to physically prevent them from doing harm.

God damn crab people!

I'm going to go out of my way to make my solutions more crab-like now. Maybe they'll get better.

I agree, it would be great if we had more varied and tailored options.

That's how I like to see us too, but I've definitely met some Z hating millennials.

I met a fellow "old millennial" recently who said "we're the last generation to be raised right". I disagree, but hearing it from a guy my age really cemented me in old man status.

Then he told me he had 3 kids. Who's responsible for raising that generation!? Lol.
