      As a resident of Florida I can ASSURE you that there ARE McDonald's in Florida that will accept weed for food (well, maybe not the corporate entity McDonald's but I GUARANTEE you there's ones where the cashier will absolutely take a fat joint in exchange for a Big Mac!)

      Well, after seeing you rave about Vessi shoes so often, I got myself a pair of them. They arrived today after a bad landing at the wrong address several days ago thanks to a dim-witted FedEx driver but have somehow been rescued and delivered to me. So today I wore them to work and put 6.5 miles of asphalt and concrete airport ramp on them, in a light sprinkle most of the time and stepping in a few puddles of spilt jet fuel (no more than a couple ounces at a time so keep still all you environmental whackos). We'll see how the Vessis hold up to this but so far, so good. The soles have no noticeable wear, the exposure to a few ounces of spilt jet fuel didn't dissolve them, and my feet were dry apart from their own sweat, which is something I hope will improve as the shoes break in as this is a key marketing message of Vessi. If they last more than 450 miles in such conditions, they'll be an improvement on my currently standard footwear, so we shall see. But things are looking OK out the gate.
      And I did name you as the source of me learning of this brand. So I hope that does you well.

      Yes yes yes! Start a petition, and it would great if Simon wouldn’t see it coming. Idk how to swing that but if the writers could write a tangent trigger laden script and see how it long Simon could get the tangent timer as well as overall ep time. But if he is unaware of the tangent expectations they will be more natural. Also, have you watched live BB? ( I kno u have) BB live streak is Fact Boi at prime ADHD gamer sups cracked out and hardly ever gets more than 2 paragraphs read due to tangents and side quests! All of it absolute golden chaos. ❤❤

    When I owned a restaurant in the mountains, a lot of people would make competing offers over our used oil. They mostly used it for their oil stoves in workshops or garages, but some used it for biodiesel.

      I think the title of “Florida Man” has to be earned. Simply living there a few years doesn’t make you Florida Man.
      I feel like you need to hit certain requirements, or combinations of, to become certified Florida Man.
      I’ll start with a few examples, but please add your own ideas, I’m dying to hear what the internet comes up with here.
      1. Streak naked somewhere and make the news and/or arrested for it. Full Florida man.
      2. Own a pet alligator gets you partial credit.
      Own an alligator farm, immediate Florida man status for life.
      3. Combos. You drive a Ford Taurus, pulling a camper, that’s pulling a utility trailer with a UTV in it that has a boat trailer attached to it. Full status immediately.
      Please, surprise me with more!!!

    Dealerships insurance usually requires keys to be left in the car if it's located INSIDE the locked building. That way if fire breaks out they can be removed from the building by first responders. Either to prevent damage to the car or to the building, whichever is the case.
    It's pretty common practice.

    From The DEA's website " Marijuana is a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act, meaning that it has a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision. "
    " Some examples of Schedule I drugs are: heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), methaqualone, and peyote. "

      A common mistake people make when seasoning with bath salt is to remember that it pairs so well with pepper spray.

    I think the title of “Florida Man” has to be earned. Simply living there a few years doesn’t make you Florida Man.
    I feel like you need to hit certain requirements, or combinations of, to become certified Florida Man.
    I’ll start with a few examples, but please add your own ideas, I’m dying to hear what the internet comes up with here.
    1. Streak naked somewhere and make the news and/or arrested for it. Full Florida man.
    2. Own a pet alligator gets you partial credit.
    Own an alligator farm, immediate Florida man status for life.
    3. Combos. You drive a Ford Taurus, pulling a camper, that’s pulling a utility trailer with a UTV in it that has a boat trailer attached to it. Full status immediately.
    Please, surprise me with more!!!

    It's not just people who have to finance cars who have issues here in the US. My dad once paid in full for a vehicle at a dealership. He got a few extra things added on and when the car arrived, he checked it out but forgot ONE thing he had paid for that was extra and drove it off the lot not realizing it wasn't there. Now, this was when I was a little kid so when my dad went back to see if they'd fix it and put it in the car now and the guy who was typing away on one of those early computers was straight ignoring my dad. He refused to even acknowledge my dad being there. So, my dad shoved everything off the guy's desk, including the computer yelling about how you never get your way there and warning the other customers to check everything in detail or the dealership would screw you. The dealerships catch phrase was you always get your way at this Chevrolet or something like that. Then dad walked out before the security guy could get there because they were calling for him but he sure didn't get there fast enough. My dad has calmed down a lot. I don't think he'd do that now. The dealership never came after him for the destruction of property. Maybe because they hadn't totally honored the car deal?

    People in the US are weirdly OK with driving while high. I think part of it is that accidents caused by being high get incorrectly recorded as "distracted" or "falling asleep" or cell phone usage, all things being high makes someone more likely to do behind the wheel.
    Weed is in the same federal category as meth and cocaine, there's been pushes to give it a more accurate classification but the feds are happy to wait until either enough states legalize it to force the issue or the Democrats need a win button in a major election, whichever happens first.
