DumbAss Witness: he was always trying to jew people down.. you know, save money whereever he could.
That's so appalling.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Feh. I just figured out what I wanted to order from the nearby sushi restaurant to pick up on my way home, and then remembered it's still monday and the place is closed.
eta: It really is, Allyson, especially since she was suing because she was allegedly discriminated against.

That's right, Tom, you went through this this morning. I'm a little worried about the boiler, but...running water! Flush! Flush!
I turn into such a whiney first world brat without running water. It's downright panic-making. Which is why I have probably 15 gallons of water stashed in jugs from the last time this happened.

I've been told most of my life that I don't look Jewish. Usually after someone makes an offensive remark about Jews and I inform them that I am one.
Once, after a one nighter, the boy i was with was making small talk about his neighborhood and said something about the "fucking niggers down the street."
I told him that I hoped he didn't have any issues with Jews since he just had his dick in one.
And that was the end of that.

Thrive to spite them
I'm the past month I've had one co worker use the term "jew down" and another describe someone's eyes as "chinky."

Now I just wonder
Stop wondering. Arm yourself with the knowlege that people can be infinitely stupid and jackassed.
And perfect the slapdown.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And that was the end of that.
No doubt!
perfect the slapdown.
Mostly I have a quizzical look that at least stops the train of discussion. Which is the most immediately important thing.
Going home now! Meeting ended on time! Whee!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
two gaskets in between the carb and the spacer, and no gasket in between the spacer and the intake manifold
That's bad enough to report to the mechanic's boss.
Using a torque wrench is always a better idea than guessing at it. Under-torquing risks things coming loose, and over-torquing risks pinching the gasket too thin to do the job.
I've known mechanics who had a good feel for their own self-calibration, but I've also known some whose idea of wrist-tight was less than 10ft-lbs., and one whose idea of finger-tight was more than 15.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have a racism question for the hivemind. At the movie (Batman, of course) this weekend, there was a bit of talkback in the audience (comments every scene, basically). Afterwards, one the the people I was with exploded about black people talking during movies. His rant was "I know this is a cultural thing in certain sectors of Black America, but why can't we have talking and non-talking theaters? Why do the rest of us have to put up with this?" I didn't have an answer, except to mention that I would MUCH rather sit in a film with an all Black teenage audience than an all senior citizen audience. His statement made me uncomfortable, and I am not sure how I should have responded.
