So you're saying it's not good?

None of it is good, but when there's a port problem other types of fortified wines, like sherry or vermouth can make bad news more palletable

Any lawyer dentists in the house?

I had a back molar crowned 7 months ago. I specifically asked for gold since it’s not visible, and by some sources cited as the longest lasting material. Also, bling.

I was miserable when they did the work, never looked at the work they did because it sucked and took months for the sensitivity to lessen to where it doesn’t bug me. Only to finally take a close look at it yesterday to see a bright white porcelain crown.

Unsure what to do. Let it slide? Call Saul?

Well did they charge you extra for gold? If not, and if it's not visible, spend your time looking for another dentist instead of worrying about what's already done. Seems like gold would conduct heat and cold more efficiently, and thus be more sensitive, anyways. Possibly.

Gold molars may be covered by porcelain. Porcelain alone is not strong enough for a molar. So google sez.

Is Beers really plural of Beer?

I understand: "I drank 10 beers last night"

But not: "are you bringing beers?"

Clearly you are not very redneck

It depends on the form in which the beer is transported. If the beer is in a keg or kegs, "beer" is appropriate. If cans or bottles, either is appropriate, although "beers" makes it clear that the beer is not in a keg or kegs and so might be preferred as less ambiguous. If in doubt, bring drugs instead.

I'm just assuming you have a manual or something like that where a designer was involved. The printing thing doesn't apply if you're looking at Uncle Bob's manifesto

I think we've taken care of the subsequent charges but what is the next step with the attorney? Prosecutor friend said to file a Bar complaint, but I get the feeling that friend 1 would rather have the $6k back then to get "justice."

Does she reach out to the attorney, explain situation and say shes going to file a bar complaint or would like the money back? Or would the attorney just double down and prepare to fight and going straight to bar is the better option? Not looking for legal advice of course, just perspective from attorneys.

An update; wrote a letter to the attorney and outlined all of the ways that he failed to do his job, and how that cost her time, money and frustration (no threats of bar action). He wrote back saying that he disagreed…and then refunded her the money. My assumption is that no attorney in the world is going to refund money unless they know they fucked up.

Why is gas 3.05 in Bozeman and 3.99 in twin falls?

Shit, man - gas at Costco was $2.79 while a station just 3 miles away was $3.99. :confused:

Costcos that aren't in border towns sell gas at a loss.

Check out the disparity of prices here. :D

Yep. My friend's sister was a Costco exec. Their revenue from memberships alone is in the billions. They do well on groceries too - especially their private label stuff which generates huge volumes. But some lines (like gas) only exist to attract customers.

At our two local Costco locations, gas attracts WAY too many customers. Last couple times I've gone somewhere and paid more because ain't nobody got time for those lines. :D

Try living in a border town. On any given day, our Costco gas is 50% Canadians - and higher on weekends. They typically have between one and four 5 gallon gerry cans to "import" back to Canada. Pick the wrong line and you'll be there for half an hour.

Or about the time to charge with a fast charger. Get used to it.

Well, we do own an electric car as well. On the rare occasion we don't charge it at home, we can leave the car at the charger, and grab a coffee or snack or short dog walk. The local Costco gas is just 30 to 60 cars idling for 10-20 minutes.

Hey Chappelle, what’s with the emoji meltdown?

Stayed in a very kitschy hundreds-of-pumpkin-themed-item Airbnb. I mean it was fine, but there was not even space on the coffee tables, bedside tables, bathtub edges, etc. to set anything down. This was because of the pumpkin spice wax warmers, pumpkin spice lotions, pumpkin shaped dolls, pumpkin scented soaps, Halloween candy dishes, etc. etc. etc.

You missed an opportunity to have fun with it. You should have collected all that shit and piled it in a corner somewhere.

"Nice place, but I really struggled with my pumpkin spice allergy. Wound up doped up on Benadryl my whole stay"

If evil dictators like Hitler, Pol Pot, Idi Amin had never been born would it make any difference? Would there be another equally evil fuck to take their place?

Yes.

Just like it takes a huge amount of luck to become a multi billionaire even though there are plenty of people talented enough to achieve it, there are plenty of despotic people in the world, but you need to luck into the right circumstances to be able to achieve that level fuckery.

(Or no. I mean, if you took out those particular people, everything leading up to the atrocities is different. But I don’t think they were uniquely depraved and uniquely talented people who were inevitably going to achieve what they did.)

How do I see the comet in VT??? I've followed all the different conflicting instructions I can find. Last Saturday I was busy. It rained after that. I've been out the last three nights and can't find it. I see Venus and persist until well after Arcturus is visible. Supposedly it's slightly above and to the right of Venus.

https://fairbanksmuseum.org/eye-on-the-night-sky/

I'm about 500 miles to your left, but I think it's mostly timing. I find as soon as the sun has set (and for the next 15 minutes or so) it's pretty easy to spot, in my case I got lucky, just look west and have been seeing it the last few days.

It's tiny though, and easily mistaken for an air plane.
