One of my fave SA stories was where a girl's blind date was going well and she ended up back at the dude's place. He's got a pizza in the oven and they're making out, but when the timer goes off he pulls away and gets this look of terror on his face, and says "This is my least favorite part "

He opens the oven and immediately grabs the pan barehanded, screaming like a maniac.

There was no second date

Is Nueva York the normal way of saying that? That's like saying Port Vallarta.

Pardon my stupid semantics question.

it is. Geographical names don’t really follow rules across languages, they evolve in the same inconsistent way the rest of language does. it’s probably because the letter W is not native to Spanish. On the other hand a lot of American cities have Spanish names so you’re used to it.

English isn’t exactly consistent about this stuff either, you say Puerto Vallarta, but not Ciudad Mexico.

I mean people will say "nu yor" sometimes. The W in 'new' isnt really pronounced in english either.

Also I was tickled pink when I drive thru Ohio and heard how they pronounce "Lima, Ohio" I hope they all get sick and suffer. I can only imagine how Valparaiso, Indiana is pronounced

I don’t know why it bothers me to think of making rice in a microwave but it does. Maybe because I didn’t get a microwave until I was in my late 20s and I’d already learned how to do everything without one. Hard to imagine using a microwave for anything other than making hot food and drinks a little hotter. This marvel of technology is completely wasted on me.

It bothers me because the microwave doesn't sing an awesome song to me when the rice is ready like my rice cooker does.

Microwave eggs (in an egg cooker) is extremely easy. I don't make egg on the stove anymore.

OTHO, I have moved most of my regular microwave duties to my air fryer.

Hidden behind all the recent "opening up with apprehension and caution" headlines is that there is a huge unavoidable catastrophic problem with not picking a single strategy: nothing will work unless we do it united. This is one specific instance where individualism cannot be tolerated if the end goal is to make things better. Clearly there is a political dispute about what to do right now, but "have people deny that there is a virus or threat and continue as normal" is completely incompatible with "people stay home because there is a threat and going out will endanger them while worsening the problem." If you try to split the middle then you get either a ruined economy AND maybe a deadly spreading virus too and that's it. There is no way that the middle appeasement route ends up with a good situation for anyone, you have to pick one and get everyone to do it and, if your theory of the crisis was correct, you get a good outcome. Our current strategy has no possible way of being positive at all and will be both a massive economic catastrophe as well as a horrorshow of death.

my wife's first day back to work was yesterday. their store isn't open to the public yet, they're just basically catching up on 2 months of price markdowns, reorganizing the store, installing the plexiglass at the registers, and marking the aisles to be one-way. apparently at least 5 people tried to pull the sliding doors apart to get in the store despite there being huge NOT OPEN signs posted, and when management went to tell them "hey, we aren't open so you can't come in" the people started screaming and swearing.
