That moment when you’re driving to work, already running late, and you come up on a bad wreck- six cars, and one has a yellow tarp over the windshield- and you realize if you had been on time, you might have been the seventh car.
Had a moment while watching a show about actual history and said out loud, "oh I hope they win!" My brain shorted.
TMW you're feeling lucky and think you might buy a couple of Powerball tickets, but change your mind when you see that the pot is only $116 million.
TMW you order a coffee latte without the shot of espresso....... And they give you a steaming cup of hot milk..... Im not being funny here; zero bean, all cow.
That truly is not funny. Terrible things happen when one is caffeine-deprived. I hope your trembling fingers dropped the cup right onto the floor of the establishment and spilled the damn milk all over their shoes.
That moment when your protagonist definitely didn't fall in the sea... but contrary to what his friends currently believe, he didn't jump either.
Depends on the payout. I calculated once how big the jackpot has to be before the expected winnings of a ticket exceeded the face value. Have to take into account taxes, lower prizes, and odds of splitting the pot (which is hard to estimate). I came up with 1.5 Billion is the tipping point. And I think the 1.5 was the actual cash value, not the inflated 30 year annuity they advertise. the math is solid, but I do question the idea that someone buying a ticket at 1.4 billion jackpot is a doofus and someone buying at 1.6 billion is a learned man.
Isnt a coffee latte basically a cup of steamed milk with a shot of espresso though? so i'm kinda struggling with what you expected? ( I mean as a sincere question not sarcasm) I'm reminded of the customer you see on facebook memes etc who ordered a mochachino without the espresso and was upset when they basically got a hot chocolate
I order plain coffee and doctor as needed for the occasion. My daughter worked as a barista for much of high school and part of college; to hear her order coffee is a frightening experience, but those she orders it from seem to speak the language.
Apparently its "Free Shot Friday" [i raged to my coworker and she told me Fridays they offer free espresso shots]. Server explained the one on the menu was a coffee latte and she could add a shot of espresso if i wanted. I said no thanks, just the coffee latte.
Tmw you discard the entire John Scalzi Old Mans War series because it hadnt had any love in over 4 years...... And now suddenly someone wants to read the series
It's just like taking something off the menu. Once you reprint, somebody always comes in looking for it.
TMW you're taking a walk on a lovely autumn late Sunday afternoon, and about a mile from home you catch your toe in a sidewalk crack and fall flat on your face. I'm going to look marvellous at school tomorrow. Though with a mask on, who's to know?
Letters are already wearing off the new keyboard. It's only a few weeks old. I think I'll gouge letters into it and fill them with white paint.
The Moment this morning When the battery-powered wall clock in your office is exactly (to the second) four hours slow and you've been binge-watching The X-Files on Hulu. Coincidence?
TMW you've been sleeping on an air mattress on the floor and you wake up to realize you should've put something thick and warm between your body and all that air that is transferring the cold to your bones.
TMW the way i dress apparently makes it obvious that im a "big city girl" (comment from a guest). ankle length black dress, heels, my hair in 2 puff balls like my profile picture.... guess thats too "big city" for this borderline rural midwestern town
Tmw a new book comes across your desk and the author is "Catriona Ward" If i didnt already know the origin of @Catriona Grace 's screen name, i'd be pulling a Buddy (Elf) and saying "I KNOW HER!!!"
