Since you don't have an original thought in your head, what TV shows,
social media and printed toilet paper gives you any opinion at all?
You're better than that. Think harder. I'm rooting for you.
Perhaps it's the callowness of youth.

Translation: "Get money from." Do you remember the World "Bend Over"
Tour? That was a low point in American history.

From posted descriptions above, I'm guessing carbonated chocolate milk.
That can't be it.

Near as I can tell, it's a inside joke that old farts from NYC love to chuckle about. The good news is that very shortly, all those old farts will be dead and nobody's going to care or know what an egg cream is. It's a shame though, because it's a pretty tasty drink.
 
My secret drink is milk and Pepsi mixed together. It's smooth and refreshing. Don't mix up too much because you have to drink it in a couple of minutes or so because the drink curdles into something pretty nasty. I call it a "time bomb."

Try the Pepsi with cream instead. Just a thought. Wait! You're lactose
intolerant. Scratch that.

I read "R.U.R." as an assignment. Anybody else? Anybody? Those were the
good old days when we read fiction that creepily became true. "Animal
Farm" and "1984" are the here and now. Who'd a thunk it?

Support your local "brownshirt" or pretend to. Interesting times.

Although I strenuously disagree with your politics, you have terrific
skills in more than one arena. Become a capitalist with "Graham's Bake
and Bowl", or start an Internet business.

I'm making one tomorrow. I just ground up some pork and set aside
1.2lbs to mix with 1.2lbs of beef.
 
The best meatloaf is half pork half beef. It will be mixed with
onion, bread crumbs, egg, spices, maybe some finely chopped celery.
And them shaped into a blob on a half sheet pan. Halfway through it
will be topped with a tangy, not too sweet tomato sauce concoction
which will be applied a couple-few times so it dries up a littke,
 
Here's the Before And After photo of my last one:

No, that is some fiberglass corrugated sheets probably 30 or more years old and one is cracked and makes noise in strong winds. They need replacing.

Nah. They dropped it in a 6-month CD account and made about $1,000
on his money in that time.
 
That $1,000 almost paid for all the materials Total cost of labor
will be about $6K - assuming 30 8-hour manpower days and not
including decking which costs extra. So that's at least $100,000+
pure profit.

Because would be the hardest to find and most expensive piece to
replace if they had to BUY some used tile <gasp>.

Dissimilar metals will cause corrosion.  They should use copper nails.

Copper is a soft metal, stainless steel is not!
 
So now you are a roof repair expert to, eh Alex? How many roofs have you fixed?

Makes sense to me, but I'm a rare baker. When I do bake, everything seems
to work out OK. I've never been worried about 40 grams in a half pound of
flour or 40 grams in a pint of liquid. Maybe that's why I seldom bake.
Nobody asks for my product again.
I did make a rye-olive loaf once with green and black olives that people
talked about for a year or so. It might have been because of indigestion. I
forget. I got the idea from PBS and made it from a half day's memory of
the recipe and a trip to the store.
