I'm sure if you were watching me from a distance I look like some kind of...freak but what I do is constantly talk to them in a low voice...That way...there's no surprises, because surprises is mostly what leads to bad behaviours...I will tell you this, when you have a little experience and things go odd your brain can process an awful lot of shit at max priority

Parts of this sound an awful lot like dealing with a kid who has got the autism. I guess Temple Grandin knows her stuff.

Ash, I am constantly in awe of your animal husbandry skills. Seriously, you just rock the equine world so fuck*ng hard.

And I don't think my mom lurks this board, at least I really, really hope she doesn't, on account of all the f-bombs I drop here.

the part of my mind that stopped maturing after 6th grade always snickers at the term [animal] husbandry.

Maybe I oughtta let off trying to prove something to myself.

So long as you keep posting in the mean time I ain't complaining.

today, I feel like I hacked the sandwich menu at my store.
I realized that the prices are for a "half"/"whole" sandwich relative to the size of the bread. So a "whole" roast beef sub is like a normal sub size for 6$, but a half Cubano is way more meat/cheese/bread for 4$. This is because the bread they use for the Cubano is this giant roll, almost the size of an entire loaf of standard bread.

also sometimes people will say "can I get the roast beef and pepperjack, but on the french bread?" and get crazy huge sandwiches for low prices.

nuts.

So the story here is that inev realized the bill of materials for a sandwich is built into the price of a sandwich. The process by which he arrived at this conclusion is "hacking". Some of us would just call it intuition or common sense. I love you inev, but sometimes man...

[theinevitable]

no, no, that is the opposite of what I am saying.

the price is the same for a "half" sandwich whether the bread used is this big or this big.
half a cuban sandwich is the size of a whole roast beef sandwich, but they are the same price. the price reflects only whether it is half a roll/bread-unit or a whole one, not how large the sandwich actually is/how much filling there is.

fuck it, I'm taking pictures with my phone next time I'm on my lunch break.

omijee let's don't let this turn into a thing let's just have a happy thanksgiving come on

[greenkoolayd]

thanksgiving is over.  happy first day of buck season to everyone!

[Arachno-capitalist]

Yeah thanksgiving is over, I'm done being thankful (/s). Now its time to kill deer and spend exorbitant amounts of money on gifts for other people.

in trying to find a place to take my brother and sister out to lunch, I am remembering how much I didn't like Charlotte when I was in high school.

even the places that aren't chains feel like chains. What gives?

I wish my family liked fried chicken. Price's Chicken Coop is like the one exception.

also my bum siblings won't get out of bed to go to lunch with their big brother.

...wake up to find a thousand hits to my blog since last night, and be disappointed to find they all came from a link to a photo posted on a website in Hungary which, the Google tells me, is the European country with the lowest percentage of English speakers. So much for that influx of new readers, I guess.

I'm part Hungarian. My family made their money investing in making Hungary a viable economic entity. They're second world, but they're up and coming.

And as such I am sure they will have better things to do with their money than buy my book.
