How much are new CO2 cartridges?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

How much are new CO2 cartridges?

They refill them for $20, which I think (though I'm not sure) includes shipping.

Their CO2 cartridges are a weird proprietary design, so that you can't get them refilled some other (cheaper) place -- that's the only thing that gave me reservations about buying it.

I finally decided in favor of it just because of all the plastic bottles I buy every week. Even though I recycle them (usually), it would be better if they didn't have to be made in the first place.

Trust my rage

I don't understand the brain that can't follow this:

I tried, very patiently, to explain that with 1,000 books, an extra charge of (to make it easy) ONE GODDAMN DOLLAR per book would equal $1,000. So therefore $2.50 per book would be $2,500. NOT $400.

Always Anti-fascist!

I saw the earwax video on Countdown. It's pretty embarrassing, because it doesn't look like he was doing something else...it's pretty overt.

Yeah, I can totally get swapping the numbers and getting the wrong answer. It's the sticking to it after the error has been pointed out that I don't get.

I'm leaving for the day so I won't be able to follow-up on this, but if you had something wrong with one foot that required you to wear a tennis shoe (for example), would you wear a tennis shoe on the bad foot and a regular, work-appropriate show on the good foot, or two tennis shoes?

I would wear shoes that matched, because the heel height of two different shoes may very well be different, and that'll fuck up your hip.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I agree with Dana. Although I once work with a woman who hurt her foot and wore her husband's slipper on one foot and a work appropriate shoe on the other.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I would wear matching shoes if at all possible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think you're already not work-appropriate with the one shoe (though perfectly excusably so) and before you even get into messing up your hip and spine two matching shoes will look more work-appropriate than just one, I'm thinking.
