Fine, then either leave the lid off or put it on tightly. Don't rest it loosely atop the jar and booby trap the next person (me) who wants to give it a shake before dumping more in the bowl. It gets all over everything.Quote:

Funny thing is, people who do this really don't get why it's a bad idea. You get some really blank looks from them when you point it out.
Probably the same people who camp out in the left lane or refuse to use the turnouts. They're like "What's the problem?" Utterly oblivious to the world around them.Quote:

We get hemlock looper outbreaks every couple decades, sort of at the tail end of one now I think, but with the weather these days, who knows. Moths come out in Oct and cover everything, especially near any light source. Awful pests.
But then there is meeting this guy (I think - long antennae) at the employee entrance door this morning. Does not annoy me.

I've been going to the same mechanic since I moved to SD. He does good work and doesn't screw people over. Not cheap though. Went in recently and found he's put his rates up 50% to $175/hr. I get that prices on everything have gone up but ffs, that's a lot. I'll be doing more of my own work going forward.
$175?! That's pretty outrageous, even by today's standards. This guy a Ferrari tech or something? Anyway, welcome to the party: https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...od-Put-em-hereQuote:

Already seen two ambulances attending to downed ebikers this week on my drive home (15 minutes).
^at least they’re out doing what they love
Riding mopeds in traffic.Quote:

This is what annoys me. I swim at a pool that is still using a reservation system. They started it during Covid and now many people like it because they know the pool won't be too crowded. That part *is* nice, but you better get right in and make your reservations when they open or else they're all taken. Then you show up to the pool and it's almost never full. I'm sure lots of people just make way more reservations than they are actually going to show up for and that seems pretty selfish to those of us who then get locked out.Quote:

knocking your freshly poured beer over all over the table before you even take a sip.
People giving dirty looks when slurping the afromentioned beer.
Campgrounds around here are fully booked all summer months out but only seem to be 30% occupied.
Meanwhile Booz Allen Hamilton is raking in the dough and charging fees for managing a reservation website for our federal lands that is barely beyond the level of a high school project.
Good name for a thrash band.Quote:
