I thought you had to turn off the lights in the bathroom of a Better Business Bureau, hold a copy of The Wall Street Journal between your legs, and say his name backwards three times fast whilst flapping your arms like a chicken.

Or is that how you summon the ghost of Alan Greenspan? It all blends together after awhile.

You and me both. Last year, I bought enough Feather brand razor blades to last me the next couple of decades. I recall it cost less than $100.

I agree with you on good French toast.

The best French toast I've had was made of slices of stale, rock-hard French bread soaked to saturation in a cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom seasoned egg and milk solution, fried on a very hot griddle with a generous amount of butter, then served with maple syrup and orange marmalade. It was slightly crispy on the outside and warm and dense on the inside.

Waffles, but I have celiac so made of blue corn masa. If you haven't tried it, get some! It's amazing with blueberries, plus your house smells like popcorn as it's cooking.

If you think Americans are bad, check out Italy. Breakfast is small but it's typically a bread product or sugar laden pastry served with espresso or caffelatte. I have celiac and can't drink coffee without spazzing out for six hours, so I skip breakfast.

I did my part and sent them a "do this and I'll never buy a Haier product" email. Corporations exist to maximize profits. Communities like ours just have to learn how to make it clear to them that shutting us out will hurt their profitability.

I think we should all be really proud of ourselves. We banded together and, regardless of WHY Haier is doing this, got them to open a line of communication. This is a huge win!

Hell yes! My sister-in-law has your same year but the diesel version and that thing is a champ. It's rated at 45 mpg on the highway but she typically gets 50+, even with nearly 200k miles on it.

I had a 2004 1.8t Jetta for 12 years but I swapped it for a Prius. I love the Prius features and fuel economy but I miss how damn quick that my Jetta was, plus I loved the interior color scheme.

I'm curious, how was the severity of your first infection compared to later infections?

We had a 1x but it was too slow for the new game we bought, Phantasmagoria. Instead of buying a new drive, my father picked up this terrible software that would write portions of the data to the hard drive when the game bogged down. It kind of worked but only after you went through it once, so whoever played the game after you got a smoother experience.

I have thermal underwear, thick flannel shirts, a heated vest, and thermal coveralls. It feels like a mild spring day when I go outside.

Weighing ingredients is so much better. I can cook significantly faster when I don't have to measure volumetrically, plus recipes scale so much more easily. If I want to make 3.134 of a recipe, weight is the way to go.

I'm 50% of the way there and it sucks. Everything hurts at some point.

Yep, this guy Israeli Propagandas. Critical thinking is hard, guys!

Tell Brian thank you. I just used his and ordered one too.

Edit: I really did order one though, my current bidet needs an upgrade.

If you were playing Choplifter in elementary school, you're really not THAT old. Or you are and that makes me old too, but I'm -hypothetically- completely capable of figuring out piracy. Don't short yourself, there's always room on the high seas.

He's just upset because I called him out for being a douchebag in another post. So he proved my point by downvoting a bunch of my post history and leaving shitty comments on a few of them. It's pretty sad.

It was the former. I had a bizarre, slightly yet constantly irritating shopping trip. I thought the cart was funny. Then handicap ramp man. What I didn't post about is how people kept walking in front of me, forcing me to jerk my shopping cart to a halt, and how a major supermarket lost all of their macaroni and cheese. They recently had a remodel and three employees and I couldn't find it anywhere. It was a weird trip.

Nice deflection, bro. I figured you'd be too much of a coward to actually respond to anything but it's always worth a shot. Easiest block I've made this week.

Yep, I've done carts. I worked retail over two decades ago. You have made up...

"oh man, I have to do what I'm paid for".
~ you, probably

A comment based on no evidence so you can dunk on someone. You're just being a dick.

Goddamn people white knighting HARD.
I guarantee most of the people upset here don't even walk the extra ten feet to the corral.

It couldn't be that you say useless, inflammatory things. Nope, it's everyone else that's the problem.

You're just upset for no reason.
I've done this job. There are far worse things to get frustrated about than this. This isn't remotely mildly infuriating. You're mildly lazy at your job.

Here we have you assuming, with no evidence or indication for it, that I'm the cart guy so you can call me lazy. Again, the majority of the comment is just you being a judgemental dick.

You just seem to be one of those people who is so outraged and feels such a strong need to tell everyone how they're wrong that you generate a slew of assumptions so you can slap together meaningless judgement. I mean, seriously, what do you think you're contributing to this comment section other than making it worse?

Germany is indeed a great place to live - I'm assuming you're German because of your domain suffix, plus it makes sense. My sister-in-law lives there and I just love visiting. My favorite part is how the people I've met are just so straightforward. I wish everyone was so honest and direct!
