its a fake yellow. They will still taste like pinecones and be impossible to peel.

People are still using straws?

yup

Also annoying for those with celiac disease is that some paper straws have gluten in them.

I saw wheat straws at a local, upscale grocery store a few days ago. They were in the bargain bin.

Imo instead of paper straws they should just hand you a red vine.

Those also have gluten in them. :confused:

Sure, but at least when it gets soggy you can just eat it for a treat.

Sorry about the gluten :confused:
A friend of mine has that issue and it’s tricky to accommodate.

Talked myself into an afternoon workout at the corporate gym. It’s a 5 minute walk from my desk, and I wasn’t feeling it, so this was a big accomplishment.

Get there and find out I didn’t bring any workout pants with me today. So that was a bust.

I keep shoes and a towel in my locker, and I also keep a work outfit in there in case I forget anything, because I usually work out first thing in the AM so I’m coming to the office in my workout clothing and bringing my everyday clothing in my gym bag. I guess I should also keep a full workout outfit here, too…

I’m my gambling days, I used to keep a change of work clothes in my car. Often we’d be hanging out at the bar, and around 8 or 9 pm someone would say “Hey, let’s hit AC.” So off we’d go.

Get there around 10 or 11. Gamble until 2 or 3. Go up to the comped room. Sleeps for a few hours and on the road around 6-6:30.

I got a seven day Reddit ban for quoting Abbott and Costello. I think it’s a sign I need to stop hanging out there much, there are only like four subs I really like.

Oh, my city has an app where you can report things like potholes that need fixed, issues with stoplights being down, etc. I reported a pothole in front of my house, they fixed it.

Now I’m getting emails with similar issues ‘based on my interest.’ Like, no, I am not a pothole enthusiast. I really don’t care if someone reported one on the other side of town.

Around 20 years ago, Australia had two senior politicians named Abbott and Costello. Costello was the treasurer and Abbott would later become prime minister. Fun times.

I’m in the middle of a month ban on a big sub. Someone asked a question that’s wasn’t answerable, except by an internal AI system I have. So I posted and said ‘this is ai, but it’s the answer.’ and boom, banned. The mods there hate me for some reason, they’ve been vicious before.

And when I complained the said any more questions would result in a permanent ban.
