    Life hack - anytime you’re at a garage sale and they are selling gas cans - always pick one up - I’ve got like prolly 10 gas cans - that I picked up over the years - for maybe a buck a piece - and if there is ever a gas war here I’m ready baby… otherwise I’m just the weird guy with all the gas cans in his shed - nothing comes without sacrifice

    Smart. I can tell you laundry baskets DO NOT work.

    Wrap them in trash bags...life hack

    It has also just dawned on my that
    Chic-fil-la lemonade is so good

    u got to do the arnold palmer OR the frosted lemonade

    I've never had Chick-fil-A

    I feel like you'll understand me here but since we don't have Chick-fil-As where I am, I thought it was pronounced like chick-fill-ah and I didn't get the name at ALL, I was so confused and thought, "why would you name it that?" and then one day I realized I was just being an ultimate dumbass

    Ohhh, this is very bad. I've been making the same mistake as you until about 30 seconds ago.

    The only thing I knew about Chick-Fil-A was a story I read about a Florida man chasing people naked around the car park parking lot.

    The thing is, in the UK we like to think that we're good at pronouncing foreign words correctly - everybody says 'filet-minion' as 'filay'

    but for chicken, a number of people say filllet.

    Which is why the Chick-Fil-A thing is lost on some of us.

    totally opposite to here in the US nobody really learns a foreign language bc we are a bit ethnocentric and myopic and we regularly mispronounce words with abandon and no *kittens* given

    Insightful, but worth noting that just because the British like to think we're good at it, doesn't mean we actually are. My Puerto Rican-American friend nearly died laughing when I tried to pronounce 'Chipotle'

    I have plans to start Chick-Fil-B and it’s only open on Sundays and all the chicken is spicy because it comes straight from Satan’s b-hole (that’s kinda our corporate vision anyway)

    I wish. My concessions were skipping the gym, wearing jeans to work (comfy ones), & telling my boss he has to wait. I also brought a crafty/mending project to do when things are slow. I might have something delicious for a snack

    so i have made a horrible discovery this AM when i was reading the lit for returning the heart monitor i’ve had to wear for a *kitten* MONTH that i was supposed to be exercising every day which like, i thought was a *suggestion* not a full on instruction wth

    so my plan is maybe if i do major cardio every day for the next 5 days she wont make me redo the whole damn thing or keep wearing for another month

    One of the things I dislike about exercise is that you cannot do it ahead of time or do it afterwards or get all of the cardio for a year done at once. It seems wrong. Anyway, please don’t hurt yourself

    Can traffic cameras see inside cars? Like from the waist down?

    Can traffic cameras see inside cars? Like from the waist down?

    I sincerely hope so.

    Same with millimeter wave exams at the airport, how am I supposed to flirt with TSA if the software blurs all of the hard work I've put into sculpting?

    I feel like if it hit the "click" at exactly the right time, they might be able to make out the crotch area if you're not super close to the steering wheel
    😬 and how good are car park cameras do you think?

    You speak from experience?

    From having owned/designed such systems. Security cameras, even very high resolution ones, can't see much of anything in a meaningful way. They have to be deployed to capture very limited info - like positioned and zoomed in just right to capture license data on a moving car in a defined exit area, so the car must pass through the space. If you're more than 15 feet away from a general purpose camera, they can't identify even basic information like skin color reliably. No need to cover up to get freaky - they can see movement is happening, but can't identify you at all - you could be the pope in full garb and golf cart and it would look generic.

    You could even bring the Pope, apparently

    Or just the Pope's blanket, if you wanted to be less likely to wind up in the bad place
