Absolutely. There’s an ad out there, probably on Youtube, of a PF employee giving somebody a tour of the facilities. The guy getting the tour is a huge bodybuilder, carrying a gallon jug full of protein water, all oiled up. He’s being played as big, slow, and kind of dumb… his only line, which he repeats like “I am Groot” is “I pick things up and put them down.” At the end of the commercial, the guy giving him the tour ditches him in an alley by telling him this door here leads to the sauna or something, and basically locks him out of the building. The bodybuilder has done absolutely nothing wrong except be in fantastic shape.
Yeah, no, some gyms they do judge you.
- If you’re an attractive women, expect plenty of “help” on the machines.
- On the other hand, if you’re a fatso, expect plenty of people also helping, except that they will then proceed to tell you how you’re doing it all wrong.
- Just try using some of the free weights when the aforementioned huge lunks are all standing around blocking access to them, going “HURK! HURK! HURK!” with much unnecessary loudness. Watch how eager they are to let you go by. And then they DROP the weights CLANG! cause they’re so MANFUL! But apparently too weak to put any of the weights back because they leave them all over the place.
I have learned to join “family friendly” gyms. Not because I like kids or anything, quite the contrary, but they are generally easy-going and more helpful than judge-y.
I get it when I am biking and they are in the car! Ok yes I am fat but I AM RIDING MY BIKE while you are sitting in your comfortable car. Jerk.
ProtoCOL!
And I for one prefer the usual way.
They did invent the language. :dubious:
Well, good for you. I have yet to accept ‘Crimbo’ for Christmas 
So, we’re, what, Edison to England’s Tesla?
Even if it could be argued that the “Brits” and not the people who came before them (Anglo-Saxons? I dunno) invented the language, so? There was a revolution, son!
Those started out back in the 1970s as a way of calling attention to dangerous intersections of curves that needed to be modified. When a space started to rack up a high body count, and really needed a light instead of a two-way stop sign, or needed to be modified for better visibility, people would put up memorials to show how many people had been killed or seriously injured because some bureaucrats wouldn’t spend the money to save lives. As soon as the protest was successful, the memorials came down.
Somehow, some people got the idea that everyone, even drunks who drove into a 100-year-old tree, or drag racers who caused head-on collisions deserved memorials. And not for a week, but in perpetuity. I keep thinking if I started manufacturing a weather-proof Teddy bear for roadside memorials, I could make a good buck.
The Anglo-Saxons were not somehow “replaced” by today’s Brits. The Anglo-Saxons are still around. We’re them. Or, well, part them. Or, well, some of us are. (Or, rather, at least some of you guys are. I’m more Viking. Or at least that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.)
Judgement is catching up with judgment. It’s just happening faster in British English than it is in American English. However, the traditional spelling for both countries is judgment.
This is an awesome post. I feel like it’s the Spanish Inquisition from Monty Python. Would you like to come in again?
In which William Shatner plays a security guy, and survives.
My chief weapon is factuality. Factuality, and the confidence to stand by my assertions. My *two *weapons are factuality, and the confidence to stand by my assertions. And the ability to fully think through my posts before submitting them. My *three *weapons are…
…and an almost fanatical devotion to the [del]Pope[/del] Dope.
(Yeah, that post didn’t turn out quite as confident as I thought it would when I started it.)
That’s certainly not the protocol I follow for writing down recipes. First I list the equipment that will be required; then the ingredients in the the order they’ll be used (which sometimes involves listing the same item twice, if you’re using different quantities at different stages); then the instructions. Got that from my brilliant aunt Gigi.
It bugs me when the first step is to preheat the oven, then later in the instructions it tell you to chill the mixture in the fridge for awhile. So I turn the oven off at that point, since there is no reason to preheat so long. Electricity isn’t free damn it!
“Cringe-worthy”; it’s cringe-inducing.
Worthiness requires deliberation. Cringing is a reflex. To wit, ground pepper isn’t sneeze-worthy.
Proper recipes should be laid out with the baking temp and prep for pans (if needed) listed first.
The ingredient list should be ordered by what is needed first to last, according to the instructions.
The reason why instructions don’t include amounts (unless the same ingredient is used twice in different steps) is because it’s expected that you will measure out everything you will need ahead of time and have it ready to go when you get to the instructions (the French call this mise-en-place and I believe they are also responsible for this order in recipes).
It’s a good system if you prep your ingredients as expected, especially if you are making something that requires the addition of a number of ingredients quickly, such as a stir fry.
If you are not finding this layout to be the case, I am wondering where your recipes are coming from. I can understand family recipes not following this format, but any cookbook or chef’s recipes from the Internet should be laid out this way. It makes *me *stabby when they aren’t! If I need to preheat the oven, I want that and the temp listed first so that can happen while I’m doing the rest.
Guy who instead of merging drive to the leg of the “Y” and try to shove their way in ahead of everyone else.
Emphasis added.
Highlighted portion is debatable. When someone is worthy of a sharp smack across the face, it’s not subject to deliberation; it’s instantaneously apparent. So “smack-worthy” is a viable formulation.
Similarly, when something is worthy of a cringe, it’s cringe-worthy. Such as your highlighted assertion.
All of them.
