re: Two people shot to death on Boone Avenue
Posted by sacredcow on 6/20/15 at 5:24 pm to LouisianaLady
That's Baton Rouge. Continuous streets change names every few blocks and broken streets do not. I've always found it odd, but not particularly troublesome.

This is a block from my house. Ugh.
Magnolia Woods is a great neighborhood, but it is very close to Gardere and all that entails. Boone is a straight shot to Staring and not far from the infamous motel.

As with the "Christian" baker debacle- both sides are being whiny little attention-ho' beeyotches.
Right or wrong, Lexington has the fairness ordinance that says a business open to the public can't discriminate. So there are 2 easy options: 1. Refuse the work citing inability to deliver the product (timing, availability of materials, whatever). 2. Accept the work, knowing full well that you're going to donate the profits to an organization that supports your views (NOM, AFA, etc.). If you refuse the work citing your belief that gays are icky, then get all butthurt when they pounce on you like a fat kid on cake, then congratulations- you have a complete lack of cause-effect reasoning skills.
If you take a GLBT printing job to a pretty clearly "Christian" company and expect them to not at LEAST give you a Chick tract, then see the italicized text above. If the company is NOT advertised as Christian, and you get a sanctimonious refusal, give them the bird and get in touch with Cafe Press or someone who doesn't give a carp what you want to print, so long as your Visa card is good. Then, for purely spiteful reasons, send the refusing company a copy of the paid invoice with the total circled and labeled, "could be in your bank account, if you weren't such an idiot."

I was a *HUGE* T&J fan when I was a kid, and I seem to recall that sometime in the 1990's (or maybe late 1980's), they began to edit out and/or stop playing the shorts with some of the objectionable elements. I definitely remember that they over-dubbed the speech of Tom's owner with a very generic-sounding midwestern voice (which was very strange to hear).
Oh well- I guess we won't see a re-release of "Song of the South" anytime soon, either. :rolleyes:

I spent a good bit of time in Seattle last summer (much of it without a vehicle), and Uber is a VAST improvement over traditional taxis that may or may not show up after repeated calls. But then again, Seattle has great public transit, too- including insane entertainers most of the time! :cool:

Would those enlightened people on this site who have no problem with the "shetaxis" also have no problem if instead of providing "shetaxis" those companies provided "hetaxis" for only men to use which had only men drivers?
No problem with that concept at all- I'm all into the idea of niche markets.
But HeTaxis would probably fail miserably because I seriously doubt there are enough men who give a crap one way or another.

Utterly failing to see how this affects anybody who isn't a woman who wants to (probably) pay more for a taxi that is guaranteed to be driven by a woman...

Then why is it being forced through by a few individuals? If that's true, keep fighting the fight, and then run it through Congress or a direct vote.
Among many reasons is the fact that very few, if any, elected law/policy makers at any level truly represent the will of their constituents anymore. They are beholden to lobbyists, special interest groups- whomever has the deepest pockets to keep them in office. I suppose that they see it as the quickest way to make something happen.

Not exactly true anymore. It's at the tipping point, give or take.
Definitely Smith Street. Most of the others are smaller, although the one on the corner of Bissonnet and Weslayan is OK.

Judge-dependent. And making up things to get excused pisses most of them off. At best, you'll be berated and you can bet that they'll hold you in the pool for as long as they can. At worst, they could possibly slap a contempt charge against you.
Not that I have a lot of respect for how they run things. True story- I was called for Jury duty a few years ago, in May. Seated on a panel, and they asked the usual questions (Name, occupation, does serving cause any hardship for you). The girl next to me claimed to be a single mom, working 2 waitress jobs to feed her kids, so if she didn't work- she didn't get paid. The judge lectured her on civic duty, it's a privilege, yadda yadda yadda. She didn't argue or say any more about it (I think she was being honest, but who knows). A few people down the line- this guy said of his occupation, "I am the head coach for a high-school football team."
"Oh, sir! We are SO sorry to have inconvenienced you! You are excused from jury duty, and I hope that this hasn't caused you too much difficulty."

re: When do you think automation of fast food stores will arrive for good?
Posted by sacredcow on 8/14/14 at 5:24 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
I loathe having to use the automated kiosk at the airport and the self-checkout line at the grocery store. Theoretically, it should be faster and more efficient. True enough, that it takes an unskilled job away from someone, but that's another debate.
The problem with these things is that no matter who is ahead of you in the line- they're a moron. And I don't mean a "oh, bless your heart" moron- I mean a "If you don't step aside and let me get the frick out of here, I'm going to stuff you into the credit card swipe slot head-first" moron.
That's my experience, anyway. Your mileage may vary.

Air is the biggest factor- anything to keep exposure to air at a minimum (sealing plastic wrap against the surface is one option), but the acidity of lemon/lime also seems to have a preservative effect. Combine the two- brush the top with a little lime juice and seal plastic wrap against the top.
That said, there's still air trapped within the guac, so it's still going to turn brown to some degree.

Pretty good discussion of the topic HERE
Like a lot of classics, it has been modified and branched out in all directions for various purposes. I make a heavily-modified version:
+1-2 sugar cubes (I use 1- some people like more)
+dash each of Regan's Orange and Peychaud Bitters
+splash of water
muddle the above in a cocktail tin until sugar is dissolved.
+shot of rye/bourbon
+splash of Benedictine (NOT B&B)
add ice and stir. strain into a chilled tumbler (or cocktail glass, if you prefer). zest a strip out of an orange over the drink, getting a nice spray of oil on the surface and insides of the glass. garnish with a Luxardo cherry and the strip of zest

If you find a Christian harping on one sin over another it may be because God has charged that person to defend that part of his teaching.
So God consistently charges known and admitted serial adulterers (pick a televangelist or god-invoking politician) with being his mouthpieces of morality?
Wow... That's a harsh statement to make about God's understanding of the concept of credibility.

The second option. Legally speaking, it's a civil union, but you can call it Marriage if you like. Or you could call it something else entirely.
