- I've never liked "the wife," but what else are you supposed to say other than "my wife"?* - By LewisBullox July 29, 2025 at 10:45:43 AM
  - conversely, if I barely know the person and don�t know their spouse but they immediately start referring to them by name. Like WTF are you talking about?* - By apblue July 29, 2025 at 11:32:05 AM
  - Their name* - By Charlie July 29, 2025 at 10:49:28 AM
    - "my wife Jane" * - By schadenfreude July 29, 2025 at 12:40:37 PM
    - Or serial number* - By rndm July 29, 2025 at 11:07:58 AM
    - To someone that has never met her? Huh?* - By LewisBullox July 29, 2025 at 10:50:31 AM
      - ..."when they know perfectly well that I know their wife's name"* - By Charlie July 29, 2025 at 10:52:59 AM
      - Go back and read the OP. I'm only talking about contexts where the wife (and her name) are known to the person you're speaking to*** - By craig July 29, 2025 at 10:52:41 AM
        My bad missed that part* - By LewisBullox July 29, 2025 at 10:53:54 AM

- My BIL always calls his wife just "wife" no my in front. It's weird, but I never commented on it. I'm proud both kids separately told me and my wife that it's really weird* - By maizeintx July 29, 2025 at 10:43:28 AM
- Thoughts (m) - By SmilingChewbacca July 29, 2025 at 10:39:17 AM

  - and I certainly say my wife. how could that be avoided? I don't think I say The Wife * - By Nikos July 29, 2025 at 10:39:43 AM
    - I use "the wife" and "the boss" interchangeably. Always in the context of some sort of plans that I don't want to do. I gotta check with the wife (the boss) -- means I don't want to do whatever it is you are offering up. ** - By xcheck July 29, 2025 at 10:44:35 AM
      - gynaika mou * - By Nikos July 29, 2025 at 10:46:48 AM
    - By using her name, if you're speaking to a person who knows her*** - By craig July 29, 2025 at 10:41:00 AM
      - hmm maybe depends on who met her first? like a parent in the neighborhood might need it * - By Nikos July 29, 2025 at 10:43:10 AM
- It seems like a lot of things bother you�* - By cp July 29, 2025 at 10:32:08 AM
  - I think you just made the list.. * - By hurryup July 29, 2025 at 10:40:24 AM
  - Yeah, you've mentioned that once or twice*** - By craig July 29, 2025 at 10:38:06 AM
    - I�m worried you�re not enjoying life enough* - By cp July 29, 2025 at 11:17:14 AM
- On #2, I have a weird situation - By ny1995v2 July 29, 2025 at 10:25:58 AM
  - on a not quite but sort of related level, with colleagues at work I usually refer to kids as my oldest and my youngest rather than their names - By d July 29, 2025 at 10:53:13 AM
  - Yeah, I probably wouldn't think twice about someone saying "my wife" in a situation like that*** - By craig July 29, 2025 at 10:40:12 AM
Fun Fact: based on the landmarks in the movies, Rocky ran 30.6 miles before jumping up and down with a bunch of kids at the top of the stairs at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. What a fucking beast* - By uncwolverine July 29, 2025 at 09:56:45 AM
- True story: My oldest ran the "Run to the Sea" 50k in Brighton, England a couple months ago.* - By kccambo July 29, 2025 at 11:27:34 AM
- For several years there was a run called the Fat Ass Rocky Run that covered that route. It was unsupported so no roads were blocked off and no water stations. I had friends run it. About 100 ran it every year.**** - By Tait July 29, 2025 at 10:34:09 AM
  - Ha, great share* - By uncwolverine July 29, 2025 at 11:03:39 AM
- Saw a news story this weekend about a man who died "Everesting" - By ny1995v2 July 29, 2025 at 10:15:39 AM
  - Derp* - By jjwalker July 29, 2025 at 02:40:08 PM
  - Similarly when I was at the resort last week I almost did the math on how many times I'd need to run back and forth on the small beach to get in 4 miles. Glad I drank a Red Stripe instead* - By uncwolverine July 29, 2025 at 11:02:32 AM
Book recommendation: City on Fire by Don Winslow. A goodfellas type of mafia clash with good writing. Audio book narrator has a jersey/bronx accent that adds to the telling. Highly recommended* - By Pal July 29, 2025 at 09:47:19 AM
Some very trivial trivia, stated as facts not questions - By ny1995v2 July 29, 2025 at 09:47:10 AM
- Sugar Shane never threw a TD? Had no idea.* - By crumbs July 29, 2025 at 10:00:41 AM
  - Lack of lychee ginger smoothies at Schembechler Hall has consequences.* - By Cap July 29, 2025 at 10:18:52 AM
  - You didn't or he didn't?* - By ftb July 29, 2025 at 10:04:06 AM
    - shameful lol* - By ajs July 29, 2025 at 10:25:52 AM
    - Oof..* - By crumbs July 29, 2025 at 10:10:52 AM

      - hahaha* - By ameriKa July 29, 2025 at 11:25:11 AM
- That McDoom one is funny, but I guess makes sense (nm) - By danny July 29, 2025 at 09:53:55 AM
- McDoom is a blast from the past. It seems like UM has way too rich a history of... - By craig July 29, 2025 at 09:53:43 AM
A positive on immigration - US Physics team beats Chinese team in science Olympiad - By Cincywolve July 29, 2025 at 09:46:06 AM
Project Hail Mary, I'm thru 12 chapters of the audio book. Question for anyone that's read the book (m) - By uncwolverine July 29, 2025 at 09:36:53 AM
- Yes. basically that * - By Pal July 29, 2025 at 09:40:26 AM
  - Re(1): Yes. basically that, initially at least. Once Ryland figures it out he just interprets the sounds into language in the narrative* - By Pal July 29, 2025 at 09:42:36 AM
    - Yeah, that just happened and felt like it should have been played up bigger. That was a massive development* - By uncwolverine July 29, 2025 at 09:45:26 AM
Republicans across the country are pushing bills to stop government 'weather modification' - NBC - By Cincywolve July 29, 2025 at 09:36:06 AM
- Quick summary on the Republican position: It�s ridiculous to think humans have any impact on climate. However the government does change the weather. And in conclusion climate is weather.** - By xcheck July 29, 2025 at 10:05:00 AM
  - I think there's something more sinister and less crazy - By ny1995v2 July 29, 2025 at 10:29:15 AM
- These gumment science linked weather agencies are - By jhamm July 29, 2025 at 09:40:28 AM
Age/Board Appropriate, Inconsistent Bikini Countdown - By Cincywolve July 29, 2025 at 09:31:08 AM
- No titties either.* - By MasterBates July 29, 2025 at 09:42:04 AM
- Girl on the right has a busted face and no ass, come on.* - By MasterBates July 29, 2025 at 09:36:56 AM
  - Gabrielle Union* - By Cincywolve July 29, 2025 at 09:40:44 AM
    - Chris Howard disrespected in multiple threads today.* - By Cap July 29, 2025 at 09:44:51 AM
      - If that is her, she catfished us.* - By MasterBates July 29, 2025 at 09:48:10 AM
How do you handle tipping for ppl other than restaurant servers? - By craig July 29, 2025 at 09:26:55 AM
- Racheting it way back and attempting to virtually eliminate it* - By Rich July 29, 2025 at 01:03:50 PM
- I tip $1 per coffee or beer, more for cocktails that require work* - By Voltron Blue July 29, 2025 at 09:45:18 AM
  - I tip for an espresso drink but not a coffee from a carafe.* - By LewisBullox July 29, 2025 at 09:52:52 AM
- Reminds me that I went to a fairly new breakfast place the other day and AGAIN (I told a similar story recently) the tip calculations on the bottom of the bill were based on the total INCLUDING TAX instead of the subtotal. Didn't even notice the calculations were there until after I wrote in $6 ($29.95 subtotal). Ridunculous. Now it looks to the server that I left less than 20%.* - By Cap July 29, 2025 at 09:40:49 AM
- My policy and practice differ - By ny1995v2 July 29, 2025 at 09:29:37 AM
  - I'm close to this, but I have been drawing a firm line at certain types of establishments. Basically if you are nothing more than a cashier, I'm not tipping you. - By WestSideBlue July 29, 2025 at 09:53:12 AM
  - Something similar to this. * - By Pal July 29, 2025 at 09:36:29 AM
- I only tip servers and similar traditionally tipped roles* - By harbaughdyssey July 29, 2025 at 09:28:06 AM
  - Do you tip Uber drivers?* - By MasterBates July 29, 2025 at 09:29:35 AM
    - I do, but tipping taxi driver is is traditional* - By kccambo July 29, 2025 at 11:28:41 AM
    - I tip Lift drivers because I want to and to stay off their shared shit list. * - By jhamm July 29, 2025 at 09:58:20 AM
The pictures of starving children in Gaza are just heart breaking. How anyone on this board or elsewhere can defend the Isreal govt or this admin for not stopping this immediately is beyond me. What is being done is plain evil. Ppl will spend the next 2 years distancing themselves from their support for this when the magnitude of this becomes known.* - By Pal July 29, 2025 at 09:24:53 AM
- Who exactly on the board is defending it? (nm) - By danny July 29, 2025 at 09:26:51 AM
  - "What would YOU do if you were PM" is a common refrain on this board from those looking to justify what is happening.* - By Pal July 29, 2025 at 09:32:09 AM
    - I mean, there are shades of grey here - By danny July 29, 2025 at 09:44:15 AM
      - That�s where I am at and unfortunately got into it with a former neighbor on Facebook. He is part Israeli and wants total surrender from Hamas. He also harassed protestors at Northwstern on a daily basis (m) - By crumbs July 29, 2025 at 10:14:15 AM
      - Israel has a right to defend itself and its ppl. Conduct military actions. They do not have a right to deliberately starve an entire generation of ppl that are essentially captives and refugees. - By Pal July 29, 2025 at 09:58:57 AM
        Correct, and I don't think anyone here disagrees with that (nm) - By danny July 29, 2025 at 10:01:34 AM
    - But to be clear, my post wasnt specifically about pointing fingers at specific ppl here* - By Pal July 29, 2025 at 09:35:15 AM
I'm not sure there has been a more egregious scam in recent years than the rise of the $30 "charcuterie board" appetizer in restaurants - By WestSideBlue July 29, 2025 at 08:55:23 AM
- Years ago, Bertucci's had a great charcuterie board for like $12. We used to get it like once a month when running errands* - By maizeintx July 29, 2025 at 10:45:13 AM
- anything associated with Donald Trump* - By ajs July 29, 2025 at 10:28:27 AM
- Sounds like you go to the wrong place for a charcuterie board.* - By crumbs July 29, 2025 at 09:42:34 AM
  - We don't have them in our corporate breakroom every day, as I'm sure you do. Some of us have to get them out in the wild * - By WestSideBlue July 29, 2025 at 09:56:42 AM
    - Ha, we have charcuterie on a stick for afternoon snacks.* - By crumbs July 29, 2025 at 10:10:30 AM
      - We have the most bizarre, ever-changing rotation of snack selections at my office - By WestSideBlue July 29, 2025 at 10:28:34 AM
- This feels like a steal compared to the $15 Coors Light can at the Tigers' game last night.* - By Dizzo July 29, 2025 at 09:16:46 AM
- this reminds me of a dinner mrs kal (ms kal at the time) in 2017 in Faro, Portugal. we had a long day of the beach, drinking, sex, etc... that i just walked to the local market and we - By kal July 29, 2025 at 09:11:20 AM
- First JJ�s salad rant and now you and charcuterie? - By cp July 29, 2025 at 09:08:54 AM
  - JJ was 100% right with his Cobb Salad rant! I'm starting to think you are part of the problem. Do you own a restaurant we don't know about or something?? * - By WestSideBlue July 29, 2025 at 09:09:52 AM
- Is it that much different than a burger that costs 3 dollars in ingredients and maybe even less time to prep that is sold for 15 dollars?* - By harbaughdyssey July 29, 2025 at 09:08:46 AM
  - in the late 1970s the ad agency I worked for did local store marketing for Burger Chef. The most profitable moment at BC: "Would you like cheese on that?" One cent slice of processed cheese for a dime. * - By hurryup July 29, 2025 at 09:16:10 AM
    - Great job helping them out.* - By ftb July 29, 2025 at 09:36:42 AM
- To me it makes sense for a restaurant to charge not only for foods but also the time you will be at the table. Charcuterie board is a "we are going to be hanging here for a while" item* - By ChiWalker July 29, 2025 at 09:07:34 AM
  - This is probably fair, and I appreciate it on an intellectual level - By WestSideBlue July 29, 2025 at 09:12:36 AM
  - Excellent take** - By xcheck July 29, 2025 at 09:08:55 AM
- Mel Tucker NFTs (nm) - By danny July 29, 2025 at 09:05:57 AM
- Sparkling water scam. I�ll have tap water, bitch.* - By MasterBates July 29, 2025 at 09:05:13 AM
  - The worst is the places that draw an additional distinction between sparkling, still and tap - By WestSideBlue July 29, 2025 at 09:08:59 AM
- $15 bread and butter that used to be free** - By xcheck July 29, 2025 at 09:03:05 AM
