Although I was actually thinking of diogenes laertius
The name derives from Diogenes of Sinope, an ancient Greek philosopher, a Cynic and an ultimate minimalist, who allegedly lived in a large jar in Athens. Not only did he not hoard, but he actually sought human company by venturing daily to the Agora. Therefore, this eponym is considered to be a misnomer.
People who let their pets run loose with no collar or ID when get uppity when someone takes to a vet trying to find the owner, your pets are your responsibility
Takes to a vet?? Assuming they first checked on line and with the local Karens with no luck, then it's off to animal control. Let 'em get uppity with the local Sheriff.Quote:

She responded by dropping a bottle of Mrs. Butterworth's on the table.
WTF. He asked for maple syrup, not artificially flavored sugar sauce.
He was irritated, which I have to admit made me kinda proud.
A lot of my 70 something friends are becoming safety obsessed. One has sprinklers on their metal roof and is currently obsessed with radon. Another in Mazama who can see flames from his front door needs his own particle sensor to tell him that the air that smells like smoke, leaves ash on his car, keeps him from seeing to the end of his lot, and has an AQI over 200 on NOAA is unhealthy. Nothing wrong with that sort of thing but when people my age decide they're going to get healthy--well, the horse is out of the barn.
OTOH both my SIL and and my cousin's wife have decided to skip my kids outdoor wedding next Saturday because of the air quality (which is forecast to be better than horrible) so that's a win. As long as my brother and cousin show up. (The SIL has been safety obsessed forever--she had my brother's cholesterol below 90 when he was in his 30's. Poor guy nearly died from liver failure. Apparently your cholesterol can be too low. His liver did get better when his cholesterol went up.)
If I had a SIL and a cousin's wife, I really don't think I would give 2 fucks about them.
congrats on yer kid gettin hitched.
Drunk airbnb assholes wandering around shouting to each other at 2:15am. SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Missing my connecting flight because the cleaning crew was 2 hours late getting the plane cleaned.

Yeah - we have central air but basically don't ever use it, for the exact reasons you outlined.Quote:

Annoying as shit...
That’s exactly why we put central air in over the winter. So glad we did cause it’s been so hot in PDX this year that it’s not even cooling off enough at night to get your house liveable again.Quote:

As someone who's made his own maple syrup, I am also proud of your son. Unfortunately it could be worse:https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5997a67624.jpgQuote:

Couldn't blast the fan because she was getting dehydrated, couldn't open the windows because of smoke, so I just sat there and sweated all over my poor kid all summer. Smoke is a fucking bummer.Quote:
