People who say “tuddies” instead of TDs or touchdowns.

Awful, unacceptable.

I thought I'd seen it here and even searched for "tuddy"! makes sense why I didn't find it.

Tuddies is an outright crime against humanity rather than just a mere pet peeve.  For me anyway.

Why do I feel like it would make a great name for a strip club though?  I mean it sounds just dirty enough to pique your interest, but in reality it is just a nothing made up word.

i'm sure the guy who makes those what's goin on at augusta rap videos says tuddies

"Boneless chicken wings"

These are not wings, they are rebranded chicken nuggets with different sauces.

oh man. tell me about it. I wanted some wings last week and was being lazy and didn't want to make my own so I ordered from that newish Jeffersons place on Johnson Drive. The wings were all mostly shitty, but I got some boneless for Mrs SF. They were like the awful pizza hut ones that are just like eating a ball of mush. So gross.

May to September, returned to Iowa yesterday. Flood Aggie's bridge is nice, a testament to modern D1 college athletic department largesse.

I love chickie nuggies but boneless wings are usually pretty gross (though less gross than boned wings)

one time doordash dropped off some b-less wings from jefferson's in nkc. we did not order doordash, but there was a random name with my address. so we ate them (shame yourself thread ?) and they were super gross, but still ate them (shame yourself thread)

They provide the food for elite neighboring bar Sully's and in turn get a pass from me on anything.

I have a very specific annoyance/pet peeve. Last night we had a sub on our sand vb team.. Chick tried to take over/coach as a sub (she also sucked) and also was very cheerleady.

Man, I can't stand women like that.  Thoughts and prayers.

[michigancat]

not a pet peeve but something I get a total kick out of but a guy I used to work with "well, actually"-s every linkedin post.

Here's an example post someone shared:

As much as I dislike "School, by Zoom," I love this!

Brave Behind Bars is program that teaches computer science to the incarcerated to better prepare detainees for reentry over Zoom.

I'm beyond proud that this program was started by my former creative and caring student

And his comment:

I think this is a great idea, as long as the new CS skills are not used to advance their previous nefarious mindset into the world of hacking and extortion.

“The Japanese have a long history of incorporating elements of ‘folding and making shapes’ into several aspects of their lives and this object was inspired by their traditional culture of origami. We came up with a product that supports objects by folding sheet metal and then further took a hint from the resulting form, naming it V” - Yusuke Watanabe

The design “wow” is there. The function, almost.

An autonomous Social Riding EV designed to promote in-person interaction.

The Agora E concept envisions the future of public mobility for Hong Kong and the densely populated cities of Southern China, whilst promoting in-person socialisation with a design that invites conversations and meaningful interactions. The clean exterior silhouette maximises internal capacity (up to 10 passengers) and minimizes bulk, making it ideal for commercial use in busy urban settings. The large glass panels allow for natural light during the day and unobstructed views especially at night.

The interior design presents a continuous, circular seat where passengers face inward leaving an open space in the middle available for standing passengers, a wheelchair or luggage. Recycled and upcycled materials are used throughout the cabin, minimising the environmental impact of the product.

Designed by Ponti Design Studio.

Comment:

Cute concept. Not sure enough room has been provided for batteries of sufficient size to ensure a meaningful and useful range between charging, especially considering the likely high empty weight plus the weight of 10 people and luggage. Yikes!

I love it and could do this all day

lol (not the same guy but he liked it)

"A guy looked at my airplane the other day and said I wonder how many people could have fed for the price of that airplane...

I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families at the Dassault factory where it was built. I’m sure it fed a bunch of families that rolled the aluminum at the Alcoa factory. It surely fed a lot of people at the Honeywell factory where the experts built the turbines. It fed a whole company for a few weeks when I had them build me a new interior. It feeds the families of the linemen that fuel it.

That’s the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills.

When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.

Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.

Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for."


UPDATE - I do not own a jet. This is an old story reworked.
