Most undermount sinks are held on by silicone, little metal tabs, and the drain pipe. They sacrifice how much weight they can bear, and ease of cleaning for the aesthetic.

Also that goober was using that plunger like a goober.

Anyone who's using a plunger in a kitchen sink is an idiot in any case, just take apart the drain pipe underneath and unclog it, it'll actually solve the problem.

The short version: Rich doctor builds an addition to his house without getting it properly certified for occupancy and cuts some corners on it in general, rents it out as an AirBnB thing. The renter then refuses to leave, and cites that since the place isn't certified for occupancy, she doesn't have to pay rent, either. Local government agrees with her. Landlord tears occur, are very funny.

Two days later, Schmidt allegedly created a Word document entitled, "Important Information to Share with Chinese Government." The document, which investigators recovered from Schmidt's Apple iCloud account, was later assessed by the Army to contain classified information.

One of the alleged documents was 23 pages long and entitled "High Level Secrets." It includes the passage: "My name is Joseph Schmidt. I'm a human intelligence collector that just got out of the military. I'm trying to send some information to the Chinese government about the United States Intelligence Services."

MyCrimes.txt remains one of the consistently funniest things for information technology to have brought us, and one of my favourite kinds of freude is when law enforcement finds one of these baffling documents after someone committed some real dickhead crimes.

If you don't want to watch the whole 30 mins I'll give you the backstory and you can skip to the last 5 mins (you shouldn't it's funny).

A transphobic heckler gets owned and then hangs around waiting to beat up the comedian or whatever. He gets into a fight with someone else on the street before the cops show up, give him every chance to leave, finally arrest him for trespass or disorderly conduct, and then suddenly things become a lot worse for him.

A bit long, but the ending is great and also, really, explains everything.

If you live in a place where bike accessibility is an afterthought then I completely understand these posts. Some of us are fortunate enough to live in places where bikes are not relegated to winding multi-use paths through parks and bicycle gutters, and biking is actually a cool and fun thing to do in places that support it. Biking 90 minutes to work is no different than having a jog or light workout in the morning before you get in your suburban-class light infantry transport to both go to work and actively justify your municipality's war on bikes.

I sure as hell don't live in a place where it's nice to bike, but I used to and it's basically the biggest consideration for the next place I move. Car dependency blows dogs.

I live in one of the most bike friendly places in the world and I bike to work four days a week, but that's because the bike ride is fifteen minutes there and fifteen minutes back again in a worst case scenario. If it was over an hour of biking I'd find some faster way to get there, not because I can't bike for that long, but because that's an unacceptable loss of my free time.

EDIT: Content, sorry, hadn't seen the derail had been told to stop.

It gets a bit less comical when it turns out he was actually admitted to the bar, just lacking the specific certification that allowed him to show up in courtrooms. Though I have every faith that when they drag him to court he'll defend himself and win for the 27th time.

Actually I've had nightmares about driving cars since I was ten years old. So I figured, "hey, one way to beat this will be to get my driver's license, and then I'll see it's no big deal, and it'll get better." But no, it turned out the terror just passed into the real world and I'm terrified of driving cars there, too. And the nightmares continue.

A woman who threw a hot burrito bowl in a Chipotle worker's face because she didn't like the way it was prepared may soon learn what it's like to be on the other side of the counter.

An Ohio judge sentenced 39-year-old Rosemary Hayne to three months in jail for assault, but offered to shorten her sentence by 60 days — if she agreed to work at a fast food restaurant.

...

"You didn't get your burrito bowl the way you like it and this is how you respond?" Parma Municipal Court Judge Timothy Gilligan said to her. "You went in there looking for a fight."

"I did not," Hayne responded. "If I showed you how my food looked, and how my food looked a week later from that same restaurant, it's disgusting looking."

"I bet you won't be happy with the food you are going to get in the jail," the judge retorted.
