    The weather is great, and I own a mini-grill, but I have no place to actually use said grill. Fuck you, apartment building. Fuck you, town.

    Do it on the pavement. Some bros down the road didn't have the space for their BBQ so just started to hold their party on the street. It worked pretty well.

    Window grill?

    Roof maybe?

    Some guys in my high school would grill in the back of their pickup at lunch pretty regularly. In serious advice, aren't there any public parks with grilling areas around?

    There's a park less than a block from my place with grills.

    We're not allowed to leave the building. So much envy.

    Same.
  • ninjarabbininjarabbi
    Me either, but lots of kids would go outside anyways or sneak off campus to get McDonald's and shit.
  • IkatonoIkatono
    Well yea, kids sneak off all the time.

    People really need to stop writing articles about how biomass as fuel is not a solution to climate change because OMG WHAT IF WE CUT DOWN ALL THE TREES! ... seriously guys, we know. It's called sustainable forest management. Rule 1: don't cut down trees faster than they grow or you will run out of trees.

    Trying to wade through the 50 crap articles that whargarble about problems we have already addressed to find one valid objection (like air quality problems from particulate matter after burning) is infinitely frustrating.

    The scroll wheel on my mouse is starting to malfunction. You can not imagine how irritating this is.

    Some of the mice at my school end up going down whichever way you scroll.

    Whenever you scroll down, my computer does as well, and then plays "Never Gonna Give You Up."

    I've got a pretty good idea of how irritating this is, dude.

    I find it happens a lot more with smooth scroll wheels, rather than the textured ones.

    I was pretty shocked when I found out that apple mouses don't actually make any scroll noise. They've got a little speaker in them that simulates it, because that's what scrolling should sound like.
  • OmnutiaOmnutia
    Same with the iPod, turn that shit off straight away, or lightsaber noises.

    Weird, my Imperator don't make any scroll noise, even if I get my finger behind it and give it a really hard flick. Never bothered me at all.

    I do that with the typing noises on my phone. I was typing in the new wi-fi password on my sister's phone the other day, and I'm sitting there thinking "The fuck is that noise?"

    Can't go to Pax prime due to uni commitments. Now begins the great debate as to whether to skive off or not.

    New job requires us to start working at a later shift. I already don't like it. I have a bit more traffic to deal with along with getting stuck behind a school bus on pretty much the only road that leads to my work.

    Also forgot my blueberries and cheese that I normally consume for breakfast. Boo to today already.

    Apparently American Airlines is going to have an interview with a ridiculous anti-vaccine moron as part of their in-flight magazine and in-flight video entertainment.

    My sister doesn't know the meaning of the word "admonish". Literally. And she's a creative writing minor.

    Did you...admonish her? :P

    You would honestly think less of a person who doesn't know the meaning of a randomly selected obscure word?

    I suppose this forum is one of the last places to find people with developed social skills (Ladies in attendance notwithstanding.) but.. really?

    While I may argue other points in that statement, I would hardly consider "admonish" to be a particularly obscure word.

    I'll give you that, though reprimand would be more common. It's hardly inter-mammary sulcus but it's not something you'd see often in use.

    I didn't know what admonish meant, before reading this and going to Google. Also I will probably forget the word before tomorrow.

    They have subtly different connotations. An admonishment implies a degree of urgency or immediacy, and a reprimand implies something formal or offical from a superior.

    I use and see both on a regular basis, and have for as long as I can remember. I'm earnestly surprised anyone would find "admonish" to be even remotely obscure.
