I loathe going to Walmart… my humidifier in the fermentation chamber quit so it was kinda a priority to get a new one. Hd couldn’t find the 7 they have in stock so Walmart online has them isle G8.  I can run in and out. 

 I get to the self checkout and I hear a woman in the bathroom yelling “help, help me” over and over so I look at the Walmart checkout dude and I’m like there is a lady yelling help in the bathroom, do something! He looks at me like ohh is that what that is? And walks in circles not sure what to do, he comes back to me looking confused and says it’s company policy that we can’t… I interrupted him and said she is yelling
for help man someone needs to help her! Call an ambulance or something! Finally a lady behind me said she will check it out, she comes back and said someone has fallen and the stall is locked. I am halfway across town when I see an ambulance finally heading that way. 

 Wtf is wrong with people.

Can’t wait to hear the @Ybabpmuts response to this one, where he mentions a cousin tootsie that once fell headfirst into a toilet and drown in the restroom of a 7-11 while the manager just stood there and stared at the Slurpee machine.

If I’m feeling down, I go to Walmart, always makes me feel better about myself

Awe dang, JIC.  You have been infected.  You are starting to think like Stump Baby.  Hopefully you can seek treatment before it's permanent.

I’ll respond to this once I can come up with something equally unfunny and annoying to post.

We have moved into the lucky (or not) 1,000 not on the grid.  The great majority effected around here got it restored around 45 minutes ago.  However, there is a small group of houses that get the power from a different main line.  Oops-didn't take care of us.  Next guess 6:30 PM.  And so it goes. 

The only silver lining is that you’ll have no option but to run the grill for dinner. And to keep cool by sipping a cold beverage, assuming your ac is out. 😎

Ah man, that is no bueno.  Hopefully after that reactor scram you have enough juice to run the CO2 scrubbers, AC, fridges, and freezers.

@Ozzie_Isaac Not the first time we have been considered "good" and reality is otherwise.  I called the outage line and spoke with a CSR (aka messenger).  We were both looking at the same outage map (surprise) and I carefully explained the wiring lash up.  She took notes, read 'em back and said she would get them to a line crew.

Well, around 40 minutes ago, on came the juice.

I have not trained my unidentified replacement who is on the same circuit but it will happen or this little area will always face the above mistake.

I learned the hard way by talking with line crews out here.

BTW- what do you know about CO2 scrubbers??

I agree. It's difficult to proofread posts on my phone. I enter a rage with scrolling and zooming while trying to get the coursor to do my bidding. I then become the curser.

I read that first line too quickly as “Kanye Prime Steakhouse” and thought dang for once that guy has done something useful in his life.

Really nice to be able to compare them. I remember back while studying, that there was a discussion about eating an apple in one of my philosophy classes. Every time we eat an apple, we eat it and tell ourselves “this is the taste of an apple”. We are quick to put the item we are consuming into a category of things we’ve tasted before, when in reality, the taste is not the same from one to the next and each instance can actually present wildly varying flavours. 

When I eat a steak, I tell myself this is a steak, and I believe it to be good most times. 

Neat to have one after the other, as it allows you to actually appreciate the unique flavours and textures of each.

Kanye’s Prime Steakhouse has the potential to be a legendary Saturday Night Live skit or TikTok meme or something. So many ludicrous avenues. lol

@ColbyLang - great opportunity right there.  Care to offer your flavour (nod) profile assessments of the cuts?

Really sad to see Maui, specifically Lahaina burning.  Just devastating.

Our neighbors have apparently allowed AirBNB trailers.  They are all so loud and obnoxious.

I just played the Purge Announcement at full volume on my outdoor Klipsch.  They shut off their lights and put their kids away 🤣

Your point is well taken.  I will call the county because they are in violation of a county ordinance, plus they had a septic put in for RVs and I don't see a permit for that.

My short term rental fight is just about over with a favorable city council ordinance coming up for residential neighborhoods within the city limits. I’ve fought it for 4 + years. It doesn’t pass and we will be moving out of the city. We’ve already got blueprints drawn. Hate that it’s come to this. These ppl used to be our friends. Now 16 lawsuits later, resolution is within reach. As long as our moronic mayor/president doesn’t veto it.

See if you can find their listing on hipcamp or harvest host. There are other smaller sites out there, but I'll bet it's on at least one of these.

I like the way you think. They are, thankfully, at the back of my property.  It would be very easy to drop some shipping containers on that end to block the view, and then pile all the barn junk that accumulates between my containers and their camp ground.
