Paper straws

Yes. Fuck them soggy fucks.
Skier and snowboarder lack of mountain etiquette. To be fair, unwritten "rules" but more common sense and human decency is the issue.

Coworker: look up the welsh company tool and see if it fits our system
Me: What welsh company, like wales, the place in the UK?
Them: Yeah, probably, maybe England, or Europe? I don't know the company name.
Me: What's the tool called?
Them: blank stare
Me: do they have an office in Canada?
Them: Probably not
Me: what the fuck are you talking about?
Them: you should know what I'm talking about.

[DonJuan]

I blank stare people all the time at work, sometimes at home too!

Wow, you don't know who the european tool company is or what their tool is called? And you call yourself a tool salesmen/engineer/art room madam?!

[ExtraSlow]

I did some additional research after that conversation and at this point I DO know what the company is called, and the tool. But fuck me that was harder than it really should have been. Head office is in Swansea, so I guess the guy had one thing correct.

If you are bored you can see if you can figure it out from these clues.

CNN is only a bit better than CBC. But not much.

The term "getting some looks" as if that describes anything to do with hockey.

My in laws have some kind of personality defect and watch it compulsively.

It’s weird.

They think they are watching the Ted Bundy mystery life or something.

[littledan]

look at the ads they play on CNN and you will understand their demographic is very specific, very old, and very sh.it

Youtube's algorithm has decided I want to see something called a haka that that New Zealand rugby team does, so I watched one. I thought it was supposed to be intimidating. It looked as fruity and choreographed as a Britney Spears video. The guys try to look tough but all you have to do is just laugh and walk away and there's fuck all they can do about it.

It bothers me more than it should that a team I don't like does a thing I've never heard of in a sport I don't watch.

That’s a super surprising take. The first time I ever watched a Haka it gave me goose bumps. I still get that way watching them.

Was this more what you were expecting?

The Haka as a challenge when entering a Maori village is quite impressive, even though it's mostly done for tourists. Still impressive. I agree that the pre-game Haka is less incredible because it's so out of context in a stadium.
I have an enduring soft spot for everything Kiwi from a trip I took there about 20 years ago before I got old and grumpy.

[SKR]

Same same.

Those are some vinegar strokes for sure
