@gatorgar Well that cinches it: anonymous sources are at least as reliable as “persons familiar with the matter”, so it must be true. Hope you enjoyed that sandwich; the money could’ve been used to fund healthcare.

BREAKING: Pam Bondi may have been directed to facilitate making me a sandwich, according to an anonymous source.

@ShannonMFHill 😃😃🌵🤠

@Commonconcrete I had to look it up 😂

Good morning from Northern Nevada! And good evening to my friends in Japan. ❤️

@badbake_offgrid en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical…

@Commonconcrete Yeah, that's on the list of things that need re-doing lol Now that I will have full running water year round it's bumped up the list fast

Tiny homes means tiny spaces. Means doing things... Unique like *Itty bitty living space* 😆

@badbake_offgrid Ah. I call that “contraptioneering”, sometimes necessary. One hopes it’s temporary... 😉

@Commonconcrete Ignore the drainage, none of that is proper. It was slapping together whatever I had on hand to make it work and it does lol

@ShadesOfRani I would consider funding them if they adopted a more truthful name, such as “Nations United in Spiteful Disdain of the United States”.

WHY should the United States fund/support an organizations who's sole purpose is to attack us?

@Toneskeee 😃😃😃

@Commonconcrete You would lol

Pick a color.

@Corbienest I don’t know you, so my guess, 5, is probably wrong.

Which button am I?

@ImNoBetterThanU @Toneskeee Hmm. Interesting philosophical debate. So what color do I see in a sealed pitch dark room at the bottom of a coal shaft at midnight? I would say: none, because the eye perceives nothing about the room. You would say “black” because perceiving nothing is indeed a perception?

@Commonconcrete @Toneskeee Black is a color, it is the absence of light.

@tunatweets I think Zechariah is an awesome name, nickname Zeke! (It means “God remembers”, but that has nothing to do with how cool it sounds). 😃

@Commonconcrete I mean, maybe it’s because you don’t hear it anymore, but if my name was Zechariah, I wouldn’t name my kid after myself, either 😂

And *this* is why we’re not telling people the name until our daughter is born. We don’t want input. The name was chosen over a decade ago.

@SbKeller85972 @PMurany @May_Roma LOLZ. Just to be clear, do you think the shot of the little girl chugging from the carton was a legit recommendation for people to emulate, or a comical device like the neighbor’s arms falling off, employed to make the commercial more memorable?

@PMurany @Commonconcrete @May_Roma Why are y'all pretending the CMPB didn't openly advocate for increased consumption!? The official purpose was to "increase fluid dairy consumption in general public and Hispanic communities". You wanted a vid, I gave you one. It's humorous so it didn't count now? gmab

アメリカでアメリカ人はいつも牛乳を飲んでいた。学食で男子は一リットルぐらい飲んでいた。スーパーに行くと牛乳はガロンという単位で灯油のタンクみたいだった。重くてもてなかった。謎だった。なぜそんなに牛乳が好きなのか。

@CountKylt @tanomuzeA I used to follow this—it’s basically correct. But I’ve prospered in my career and have more money so I now give 20% for service that isn’t blatantly terrible. Also take into account whether the dining room is understaffed; waiters can’t help that.

@tanomuzeA Tipping is a reflection of service. 10% is respectable, 15% if the service was professional. 20% if they went above and beyond during the meal. 20%+ is reserved for unforgettable service. It is rare for that to happen, but when it does I make sure they are well compensated.

🇺🇸アメリカのチップ文化には色んな 意見があると思いますが、 あなたはどう思いますか？

@PMurany @SbKeller85972 @May_Roma Yup. If there was such an ad, somebody should post the YouTube link. The ads only showed people drinking milk from a glass, maybe having a milk mustache, and they’d follow with the slogan: “Milk: It does a body good”. That’s it. I was there, and I remember.

@SbKeller85972 @Commonconcrete @May_Roma No it wasn't....there were no ads or anything else advocating drinking liters of milk per day

@SbKeller85972 @May_Roma Questions: What food IS good to overuse? Doesn’t “overuse” imply not good?

@May_Roma Actually, there was a huge ad campaign in the 90's by the Dairy industry to get people to drink more milk. They equated drinking milk with growing strong. It was very successful. Looking back, it's now criticized because milk is high in cholesterol and it's not good to overuse.

@KatelynTweeter Yep. If it saves a life, I’m in; and not for 9 months. For the long haul.

If you are pro-life would you ever be willing to adopt an unwanted baby? Trying to prove a point.

@sujayko @Trouts4trouts @caryatis It would be so much better if you could switch the L and the M. 😃

That’s it, I’m coming out in favor of boob jobs. Think about it: you do ONE THING in your youth and you can dramatically increase your attractiveness for the rest of your life. It’s ~5-10k, cheap and safe for plastic surgery. And, while every other beauty thing we do requires ongoing effort—I work out every day, I do shit to my hair and skin every day—this is one and done and never worry about it again. It’s like the IUD of beauty. (Also, you can get away with being fatter if you have breasts: your waist will look slimmer by comparison.) If you're young and slim, congratulations, you're probably already attractive, but there's obvious low-hanging fruit you're not picking

@tunatweets There’s a fine line between courage and stupidity. Consider Cristobal Colombo halfway through the first Atlantic crossing. No hope of rescue, mutinous muttering in the crew.

The drop in my gut when really processing how far away this is has me pretty well-convinced that it’s probably a good thing I passed out on that roller coaster. I am pretty convinced that I don’t have “the right stuff” after all 😓

@tunatweets Meh. Dopey. But it really isn’t new. In Luke 1:13 God’s angel tells Zechariah to name his unborn son John (later the baptist). When the baby comes (Luke 1:58), the relatives complain to mom Elizabeth that they should name him after his dad. Zech straightens ‘em out. 😃 ⚡️

@Commonconcrete Millennial in that it happens to Millennials? Yes. There are close family members of ours whose own parents groused about the names they chose. Some people do choose weird names, but even traditional ones get pushback for being “frumpy” or “old-fashioned.”
