I'd eat that, because it's so different to what I normally eat...
(plus I'm not supposed to eat wheat) but I'm particular with coleslaw.
90% of the time I tend to dislike it, I don't know why exactly (they
all taste different-ish), but any kind of sweetness is off putting to
me.

Yes, why not?
 
Also, why is everyone seemingly mentioning sandwiches today... I miss
sandwiches. I have a wheat intolerance so I rarely eat them, even
though I love sandwiches.

So you keep reminding us. You could put that tidbit in your signature.

LOL. In Thailand, he would be referred to as 'falang kii nok',
basically a cheapskate.
 
"lose our Usenet access"' as thought E-S is the only provider...
I paid for my Usenet service many years ago - more than 16 years ago
at least - and it's still going. It was like $20.
 
But that's not to say I don't appreciate the many free servers that
have come and gone over the years, many were quite good.

Yes. It is/was unacceptable from the outset.

I ran the next 3 red lights. I think he learned a lesson, he sure didn't try to catch back up. I've cooled down a lot when driving since then. It's not worth toying with some people, they can get crazy.
 
Moral to this story: Don't mess with strangers....ever.
 
 
You're right, it's better to mess with friends, people you've got a bead on. Can I take him, yes or no? Will he be easy to push around? Sure, you don't know for sure, but at least you've got an idea. But with a stranger you never know what you're going to get. That is a big part of the thrill.
 
Anyway, I rarely mess with anyone. I'll play practical jokes and so forth but will always own up to it, even taking pride in it at times. But I have messed with strangers who have messed with e, and in most cases I came out on the losing end, or at least left wondering, "Why did I challenge the guy?"
 
One time in Hollywood driving the cab a guy cut me off. I let it go. I am not a big time horn blower. But then he blew his horn at me. His window was down. He was scowling. "Fuck you", I yelled. About a block later he was behind me. I said to myself, as I had done a few times in the past, always without success, "God dammmit, I'm sick of taking shit from people."
 
So I swung the car over to a small intersecting street. I got out and went into the truck for a tire iron. I would never use it, and I knew that at the time - much too squeamish to handle the sound of a cracking skull, even one that is not my own. I was bluffing the guy. "This ought to scare the fucker off", I said to myself, brandishing the iron.
 
Then he jumped out of his car with a baseball bat and was heading my way on foot. I jumped in and roared away. End of that story. I have others similar to it, all scary at the time, but well-worth the price for the stories they are today. Hey, that's all I got brother - stories.

Funny post the way I read it. It's always funny in the news when the car brands and styles are mentioned in the report. "The Prius guy vs the BMW guy", and readers are taking sides based on which car they'd most like to own, or maybe one they already own. "The Prius guy is guilty", one might say, "I've met a few Prius owners in my time and they were all garbage."
 
"Bullshit", cries the other guy, "BMWers are the worst assholes on the road. I guarantee you the BMW guy started the incident.
 
Then, even funnier, after reading your report about the Prius and the BMW, the very next paragraph begins with the word "Karma", and I'm thinking, "Is this another brand of car?" Karma, a pretty good name for a car. May already exist. In the meantime, without having been there to see it in person, I will not judge a person's guilt or innocent on what kind of car they own. I will base it instead of what they do for a living. I'll bet the Senator's aid was in the BMW. I will also bet he started it because he felt like a big man in the BMW which was probably on loan to him from the Senator he worked for. Yes, yes, the politician type guy is guilty. The other guy is probably guilty as well, to some extent, but not as much as the other guy. That is my final verdict unless new and valuable information comes my way.

When I lived in Hollywood Ca I heard an expression I never heard anywhere else before. I thought it was funny now and still do. Ever hear this one? "I'm not bad, but the bad don't fuck with me." LOL.

Wow That is nuts. I can't help but to think about the gun nuts who
scream so much about the need to be armed to defend themselves. We have
a much different attitude towards carrying handguns around and the use
of deadly force. If these guys had not been packing pistols they likely
would not have got into a situation that ended up in a shootout.

Exactly! Ford paid his workers more so they could afford to buy one of
his cars.
 
Nothing wrong with good profit but be fair and reward the people that
work hard so you can get it. I know of small business where the owner
says he cannot afford to pay his workers another dollar an hour. It
would cost him about $20,000 a year to do so. It would be taking that
out of the $400,000 bonus he paid himself in addition to his
(reasonable) salary that is 6X the lowest worker.
 
That buck an hour more for the low end is quite nice and would really be
a help to them. Without them, the owner would not have a business.

Yes, I worked until retirement. I had various jobs, perhaps the one I
enjoyed the most was photographer in the dying days of B/W
photography. I had a darkroom in the basement.
 
I used to do some sports and a lot of things such as the mayor opening
this or that. Perhaps the assignment I enjoyed the most was taking
pics for Alexa McDonoughs very first campaign to be a provincial MLA.
 
I'm not sure why you think my education came after working, I went
from school to the Sorbonne in Paris but only did a year as my father
felt I was wasting all my time partying - he was absolutely right but
it was a hell of a time.
 
I was a stay-at-home mother until we came here, kids 8,6 &5, but when
David came out of the navy into civvy street I started working so we
felt more secure, carried on until retirement.
 
I have my Canada Pension and a naval widows pension courtesy of David.
So I am safe/comfortable but nothing spare. I've probably worked as
hard as Bezos, or harder.

It would also be a help throughout the "Main Street" economy. When
the boss has more money in his pocket, he farts around with the
stock market. When the wage slave gets more money, he spends it
on stuff. The businesses where he buys the stuff make more money.
That ripples throughout the real economy.

Well, Putin's hardly a communist. He's just a thug if you ask me. It's
very painful to type this, but I'd choose Trump over Putin if I had to
pick a president.

This is bad news for old people. My friend had to buy a new phone because the sales guys told him that his phone had to be 5G capable. I told him that's just a scam to get him to buy a phone that they want him to buy. In the end, he said he spend a lot of dough on his new Samsung. He fell for that cell phone scare tactic.
OTOH, the cellular providers will probably shut down the 3G systems and certain cell phones without Voice over LTE (VoLTE) might not work. My phone is 3 years old and should work just fine. OTOH, this probably is bad news for people with non-smart phones i.e., "feature phones."

For basic communications, sure. My phones tend to be amongst the most
expensive, because my priority is having a good camera, ruggedness and
long battery life. Also the ability to say, book a hotel whilst on the
move. So, I appreciate the benefits of dumbphones - but for anyone
that travels, a normal smartphone has advantages in weight saving and
convenience.
