I used to see this guy bike past my apartment all the time. He had a speaker blasting country music and he'd scream-sing the lyrics. Not my type of music at all but his passion made me fuck with his vibe.
This is a frequent complaint I've had, living in Moncton. I wish someone ran a blog or something with all the events going on.
I basically have to go on social media and follow every venue and artist that could have events that interest me. Even then, I end up missing out on a lot of stuff because I wasn't aware it was going on.
I'll gladly take the septum-pierced ladies. I'll take the septum-pierced enbies and men, too.
I've never seen an ugly person with a septum piercing.
Which is why I said biological parent and not father.
Nothing in this comic necessarily implies that the dad isn't the kid's biological parent, though.
Pretty sure that's heronsy.
I honestly feel that's less of a diss on the Neo and more of a statement on how overpowered phones are now, especially considering the limitations placed on mobile OSes.
Apparently, buck used to be a slur in the US for a black or Native American man.
A suggested etymology for buck naked is that it refers to the the nude state of black men when they were sold at slave auctions. AFAIK it's not attested anywhere, just a hypothesis.
Fluent Reader was my stopping point when looking for a good desktop RSS reader. I'd rather a non-Electron-based app, but hey, ~~non-programmers~~ beggars can't be choosers.
Both butt-naked and buck naked are used.
Comparing them with Google Ngram does show that buck naked predates and is slightly more frequently used than butt-naked, but I'd say butt-naked has been widely accepted into the lexicon. Bonus, it doesn't have (possibly) racist origins like buck naked has.
Hey! As a vegan stoner, I resent that. I use an Arch-derivative (EndeavourOS btw).
I had to drive around 1500km this past weekend in a rented mini-van. I don't own a car, so that's probably more distance than I've covered in a motor vehicle in the past 5 years.
Today, back home and on my way to work, there was rather torrential rain, but I was still so thankful to be back on the bike.
(Happy National Acadian Day to all Acadians!)
Craquez-vous une Alpine, mettez du 1755 ou les Hay Babies, pis faites du tapage pour laisser savoir aux Anglais qu'on est still là!
Two cappuccinos I made one after the other in my café today. This couple came in and wanted large cappuccinos, so I made them in our 16oz cups. Not my cup of tea (nor coffee) but if I can make what you want, I will! Unfortunely, my muscle memory is attuned to steaming/pouring 8oz capps, and so the first one came out somewhat more phallic than I intended 😅
The only thing worse than a shitty pour is a shitty pour in the same order as a drink you nailed.
I'm just curious! I'd love to know what type of cafés anyone here is working at.
My current café is kinda old-school Italian style coffee-wise but much more laid back and add some hippy-granola vibes for good mesure. Our beans are roasted in-house, and pretty much all the food we sell is made in-house as well, down to the sauces, and anything we don't make ourselves is bought locally.
I've worked in two other cafés prior to this one. The first was a kinda upscale third-wave spot that mostly attracted yuppies, and the equipment far surpassed the training of any of the staff. We had pourovers on the menu and maybe 1 and a half employees actually knew how to brew with a V60.
The second was a hardline traditional Italian-style café, which, if you're familiar with the coffee culture in Canada (where I live) vs Italy, is a silly idea. A lot of people here only know Tim Horton's or Starbucks, especially in a mostly rural province like where I'm situated. You have to meet people where they're at; scoffing at people for wanting sweetener in their latte isn't likely to encourage them to jump into the coffee world in whichever way one deems proper. It'll only encourage them to stick to Timmies or Starbucks instead of checking out local cafés with actually good coffee.
(For some context, I live in Canada, beer labels are bilingually English & French here)
