burritodilla

I went to Chipotle and a group of four people ordered those, individually, during a rush. Something like 8 people ordered, paid, and were seated by the time the last of that group got their stupid loving calorie bomb, meanwhile the line behind was growing out the door.

I felt second-hand irritation because for all the loving effort, they didn't even TRY to finish more than half of each of their abominations. They effectively slowed down the entire restaurant just to take no less than 15 food/selfies and eat one-and-a-half goddamn "burritos" between them.

Have you never worked in an office?

Because I can assure that that is super minor poo poo. We had a guy who automated 90% of his job with a couple Excel macros, then basically spent the rest of the week on Yahoo Finance. For two years straight.

He was the most productive guy in his department too, and management was really annoyed when he quit out of boredom.

Actually, there's been a lot of discussion and debate about that over the years. A number of studies suggest that there are two main reasons soldiers don't generally poo poo on the battlefield:

1. They trade food items from the MRES, throwing the nutritional value out of balance and constipating themselves.
2. (And this is what most studies found to be the most likely case) They don't poop because they're spooked about poopin' on a battlefield.

When I'm faced with a double tap sink I usually wash my hands really fast under the hot so I finish before it starts burning. It is, however, the worst if I have to wash my face in one and there's no plug.

I hate public hand dryers that blow super hot air really slowly: your hands get burnt and remain wet! Dyson Airblades only thanks.

Yeah let me dry my hands by carefully maneuvering my hands in a venturi tunnel lined with everyone else's snot and piss water.

Juice box hacks reminds me of my childhood when the kids in school started to put the straw in the bottom of Capri Suns. Back then, the pouches were completely foil and had no easy to stab straw hole, so for a third grader with little coordination of muscular strength, this was an actual issue, and a potential fix was welcomed.

I tried it and felt retarded immediately afterward, because it became very clear that I could not set the pouch down to eat my lunch. Still, I kept doing it for months, because I was desperate for social acceptance.

I transferred schools the next year; I could open Capri Suns normally, for a short blissful period, before the habit caught on at that school.

So it began all over again.

So I did some more research and found this thread which has some pretty well-explained reasons.

quote:

The norm was for the cold water tap in the kitchen to be connected to the mains water as it is 'potable' i.e. for drinking.

The cold water tank would normally be used to re-fill the hot water tank in a conventional central heating system. As these systems are ventillated and not pressurised they cannot be connected directly to mains water pressure, hence the need for a tank. (the only pressure in thses systems is generated by the tank being higher than the taps)

The cold water tank would also be used to supply bathroom and toilet water. (I have no idea why!)

Modern combi-boilers are fed directly from the mains thus do not require a cold water tank.

Having a cold water tank gives a reserve supply should the water supply be disrupted and also helps even out demand on the mains water during peak demand.

In the water regs I also believe a water tank is required if more than one toilet is fitted in a house.

The downside of a tank is the risk of a frozen/burst pipe especially now lofts are far better insulated. Also as previously mentioned, just look in the bottem of the tank and see the amount of gunge that collects, especially if it is an old galvanised tank. Yuk.

If the cold water tank is not actually required (i.e a combi boiler is fitted or no central heating) it is quite easy to bypass and then remove the tank. The toilet cistern valve may need to be replaced due to the higher pressure and some washing machines come with a restricter to be fitted if it is on mains water .

Seems like modern constructions can have more modern hot water heaters (they call them combi-boilers) but the code is stuck in the 1940's because it requires cold water tanks.

Then I saw this loving gem:

That depends what the brown sludge is.
The only brown residue in our tank is peat and there is nothing wrong with drinking that.

Goddamn Britain get your poo poo together.
