I’ve always considered dinner to be a warm β€œlunch”, and supper is the last meal of the day

I wonder if any companies are trying to capture the heat the data centers must generate?

I wish it was different when my grandfather left us.
It showed me how ugly people who I thought mattered to me actually didn’t

I’m very sorry for your loss

I hated those meetings with the lawyers and the shit with the family - and I’m an only child!

This is when I do the episode of seeing how far the car can go on a tank of fuel

When an old guy says that about my daughter (or anyone’s daughter, for that matter)…
Nobody hears from that old guy again.

Obviously this didn’t happen sooner than it shoulda

Maybe tailgating in the parking lot on the east side of Burnel would be fun

Or a hot dog and coke for an extra $1.50

That’s almost my back yard.
In fact, picked up a $3.00 off bottle of Wisers Deluxe there this evening

I ask Siri to remind me when I get β€œhome”, the geofence features are great.

She can tell me stuff when I get somewhere, when I leave somewhere, lot of β€œif this, then that”.

Sorry, Taylor is a dude.
His real name.
Chloe is on Luke’s right and I’m certain that’s Mellissa McClelland on bass.

I heard on the radio that existing pipelines are nowhere near capacity yet and won’t be for another ten years.

Why not invest in things that make an immediate difference?

Oops.

The β€œok” was supposed to be a placeholder

Turns out I can’t edit posts here yet - I didn’t mean to sound dismissive

Any relation to Taylor Knox?
I’ve seen Taylor banging the drums with Luke Doucet.

I hear there’s some of the okayest restaurants around in your neck of the woods.

How about if I throw in β€œfree delivery!”?

I love meals that substitute black beans for meat. Plus, less red meat.

He’s a man on the move, and obviously you waffled rather than responding, lol.

I’d have either lost my job or had to pay about 1500 bucks to restore (or both), had the district operator not taken some liberty on how he submitted his report

I remember snagging a power-line with a gravel truck a week after starting my then-to-be 35 year career with the power utility.
I was still on probation because I was just hired on, but as an electrician and not a truck driver.
I popped the neutral and it swung over the 12 kv overhead

Door Dash doesn’t even file tax info correctly, how can those numbers even mean anything?

I won tickets to the grey cup concert series from CJOB, but they haven’t e-mailed me the link to collect them yet.
