Why would the NA beer industry standardize on a bottle shape that's grotesquely inconvenient, topples with minimal force, and doubles the required volume to ship?
I want to be able to crush an apple with one hand
I was just remembering the time my grandfather's girlfriend tried to give me 5 gigantic paintings
I made braised pork tacos with fresh corn tortillas, homemade slaw and pico de gallo
I made a Hassleback potato. Visually appealing but it wasn't worth the effort.
What is something that was explained to you wrong such that you could never understand it, and you received a clarifying explanation that finally made sense?
Tech workers - what did your IT Security team do that made your life hell and had no practical benefit?
Occasionally I will say "how much more to get some product" followed immediately by "how much ya got". If they show change in their palm or otherwise engage honestly, I'll usually top them up. Have your beer dude, if your life is so crummy this is what you need to feel OK go ahead. Never ever ever ever ever ever ever give to somebody that claims they are hungry because that is a bald-faced lie.
But generally the way I give is to check on the addicts in the bus shelter during extreme winter nights, bring them hot/cold water, supplies to plug wind holes and otherwise keep it warmer, plus whatever I salvage in my travels. In summer I maintain the community "ice water" zone which is just at the stump of a tree, but now that all the people in the hood know it's there, it's raided continually. I honestly can't keep up as I just have a tiny freezer but it's replenished as often as reasonable for me. The community chips in now as well... they've started to bring lidded takeout cups and plastic bottles and leave them there so I don't have to constantly scout containers.
