Maybe it's just cope, but I can't help but feel like having friends and coworkers who can vouch that you're the best is better than a low-level degree

>15 years later, I think I've just come to the realisation that the actual, honest reason why I quit taking piano lessons was because I hate the idea of a twice-yearly recital.

Is there a broad term for the group of drinks that are not juice, pop, or alcoholic, and and served cold or at room temperature? The best I can come up with is non-carbonated soft drink.

I have never wanted a 3D printer more

@sabbatical Aha now that I reread what I said, I should have worded that more clearly!

There are currently a higher *percentage* of residents of the town of Legal who speak French as their first language than the percentage of residents of Quebec.

But the town has less than 1500 occupants!

@sabbatical The town was founded ~110 years ago by immigrants from France and named after the local Catholic bishop at the time, Émile-Joseph Legal. And the local Catholic church is St Emile for the same reason. Apparently there's more French-as-first-language people here than in Quebec as a whole.

I did some back-of-the-napkin math based on $15/hr and 20 minutes per property, assuming every property in town has a sidewalk, and it came out to being under $200/winter for the average property… and that's not taking into account the efficiencies that would come with using machinery (that the town already owns) instead of manual labour!

As another Levi just said, dad life is the good life

Looks like we're doing this again… I wonder if the town did a cost analysis to see how much it would increase taxes to just do it all for us.

Stop trying to be cool and try to be weird. You'll burn a bunch of bridges but they weren't worth it anyway.

Double negatives are not never confusing

Pro tip: buy a small cheese bread or something with your XL pizza so you have small box for the lefties

I recently learned that, apparently, honey and pearls are not vegan because they take something from animals without due consent. It seems that being able to give consent in a way people can understand is not required for something to have to give consent.

So is horseback riding vegan?

@progo Well that was what I was leaning towards, so now I can blame you if I do it and someone complains

The greatest thing about learning music theory is learning how every single thing has a name for it

@progo I agree, I think that's the best way to do things.

It does bring up another question which I have never considered before… if you are quoting another document, do you change the spelling to match the version you're using?
