Sure, just need to pull out my earbud if it wasn’t already in, push my welder out of the way, make my way out of the shop and into the yard where there isn’t constant grinder or saw noise, probably find a sheltered spot because it’s fuckin wimdy, and all before the call goes to voicemail because if I answer on my way towards the door I’ll get complaints about how it’s loud and they can’t hear me over the background noise.
When my dad wants to talk, he texts me something like “Hey Stephen, give me a call when you have a chance”, and then I oblige when I have a chance. Most of the time it probably could have been an entirely text exchange, but whatever.
When my mom wants to talk, she just calls out of the blue, I don’t answer, and usually we don’t end up talking.
…I forgot where exactly I was going with this, but something about lining the call up beforehand
In that case, my favourite song is Good Soldier, but my favourite album is Fight With Tools, the whole thing is fantastic. Both by Flobots; the only song you may have heard if you aren’t already a fan is Handlebars
Okay, I walked into that one, but I was hoping you’d suggest a specific song or band :P
For reference my favourite band is Flobots; if it’s not political hip hop, it’s not good hip hop
What would you consider good modern hip hop?
Where did they say anything about Russia?
They do, just couldn’t fit it on the sign
Whether or not the shittonne of sugar in Gatorade is a problem depends on the person. A lazy Google search tells me professional athletes require between 3000 and 8000 calories, obviously depending on what sport they are engaged in. They could probably use the sugar; they’re probably pounding protein shakes too, and you can’t get all of your calories from protein long-term, you need sugar or fat or ideally both.
Then there’s alcoholics using Gatorade for hangover recovery. Alcoholism tends to reduce food intake, causing alcoholics to frequently be underweight. Sugar in the default hangover drink isn’t hurting them, they probably need it, and could probably use more calories besides. I know, this one is me.
Inactive people who eat more than they need and are overweight because of it don’t need the sugar in Gatorade, but also probably aren’t active enough to need the electrolytes in Gatorade; they should be drinking water
Plants, poorly sealed wet acid batteries, and athletes all have this one crazy thing in common; click the link to learn more
Water is best for sports hydrations.
It’s literally not, but okay
A tech startup with vague likely unrealistic hopes? What are the chances?
I think part of it is the English/French rivalry here; I’m in Alberta and I know more people who can speak Spanish than French.
Jokes are supposed to be funny :(
Cali is a common name for tricolour cats
I agree. Given that I use Gmail, Google ought to know basically everything about me, so why do I keep getting ads for diamonds, instead of GPUs?
Why are they spying on me if they aren’t going to use that information?
Shitty modern electric stove tops use infrared radiation. Good modern electric stove tops are induction
Can you take credit for “Joey B”? Because I like that one too
Maybe the cruelty is the point?
At what point does the US let them know that we’re not going to let them drag us into WW3 just because they need to steal some land
The US is going to let Israel drag them into WWIII
With the people who tend to call out of the blue, not answering tends to result in repeated calls, and then when I finally have a chance to call back, usually it should have just been a text.
If the conversation is best had via an actual call, text me and we’ll schedule a call. We’ll schedule it soon, like “call you in ten minutes” soon, but it’s just easier with a little heads up.
If you are calling me without any kind of notice during working hours, somebody better be in the hospital or morgue; if you’re calling me without any notice outside of working hours, alcohol better be involved
