    Uber drivers that take the cheap ways. Is there an option to force them to take the fastest way including tolls? I’ll pay for the tolls. It used to ask if you wanted to save money by avoiding tolls and people would still not go through tolls. This dumb b**** instead of taking the direct route to the airport which is 15 minutes from my house she took a round about way to avoid tollways. Ruck you. I’m already paying 50 dollars for the ride before tip. Pay the 3 dollars in tolls and drive me to the airport. Now I’m stuck in 45 min of traffic. I should be fine in terms of time but I’m pissed such a quick ride took this long.


    And one lane is moving. She refused to make an attempt to change lanes. Just sticking behind the slow cars. Ughhhh

    Turns out...sour dough is a pretty forgiving thing. You can screw it up and still come out fine. Case in point, I overhydrated on my second two loaves. I knew it and still poured into the proofing baskets then overnighted final proof in fridge. They set up more but we're still runny on the tilt. So, I couldn't do pizza stone sour dough as it would just lose shape and spread out. Had to switch over to a glass bread pan so it would hold shape. But, final product turned out great anyway and inside is moist and delicious. My first two loaves ever came out great on my first attempt. The biggest key things are just making sure your starter is risen/doubled before using (usually, 4 -6 hours after a feeding) and to ensure you get the bubbles/rise/doubling on the bulk ferment. Even if under or overfermented...still very forgiving once baked imo.

    So, not so annoying and kind of fun. I'm glad I did this and will keep on making sourdough as its better than anything in the store. Make two loaves and freeze one loaf. Love how you can just stick the sourdough starter in the fridge to slow it down and only feed it weekly. Then, take it out and use again in a few days after fed a few times and getting the rise/doubling. Chicken salad loves sourdough bread.

    Those fockers at Panda Express forgot my egg roll again. I should have known when I saw the guy I didn't recognize working the window. It's funny cause I asked for some sweet and sour sauce. Why would I ask for that without an egg roll? And, he gave me like 15 packets...for what an absent egg roll? But, the AI experience did improve. I noticed that. The AI ordering was fine. The human was the problem. Dude just flat out forgot my egg roll and my egg roll money vanished. But, I probably didn't need it anyway. I paid to not need or get that egg roll. lol. I was still miffed, though. Nice young man it seemed but clearly not a stickler for detail when you can't follow the simple two item receipt. It's your damn checklist. Just check it off mentally as you add it. What's the f-ing problem? Maybe the strategy is to order the chicken egg roll first so it appears at the top of the receipt assuming it's sequenced in the order you order it. I'm always going to feel for that chicken egg roll in the bag when handed to me from here on out!!! Trust no one! I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but they let me down time and time again! How f-ing hard is it to make sure everything is in the bag especially when you are not busy at all because it was after the crowded dinner period? Now, imagine if I were one of those Kens who raised a real fuss. I could go back in there throwing crap around screaming curse words and such. But, I'm not that guy because those people are ridiculous. I will just curse to the wind a little for a bit. lol

    The strategy is to -always- check your order before you drive away. That way you have access to Idiot 1 to fix the issues.

    Yea...the issue is you get comfortable after a while with not checking it and it turning out fine. It's like stocks in the stock market. Then, you get hit hard one day and are like "oh fook!". I do sometimes check. It's more of a random thing.

    Yeah but it is a massive rage-inducing annoyance to get home and the order is wrong. I'd rather hold up the line for 30 seconds to check. Most people would understand.

    AI call center bots. I don't need the voice inflections and speech patterns of a Millennial asking me asinine questions. If I'm calling in, I have nuanced questions that need human inference and intuition, not an up-jumped clanker.

    If you drive a jeep, are you required to put little stuffed animals on your dashboard?

    It's plastic ducks, and yes, if you're part of the Jeep club you must display your ducks.

    IMO, Jeeps and Jeep culture is the new Harley/biker culture due to fear of riding motorcycles, people being too fat, and way less 'outlaw' because 'outlaw' has been normalized and isn't exciting.

    Yeah, plastic ducks doesn't really scream 'outlaw' to me.
