Well, that explains the firm seats. It's either that or you're cuddling with your passenger in every spirited corner.

The Seamstresses' Guild of Ankh Morpork does not look favorably upon your judgement of their recent endeavors into digitalization and working from home.

Then they set their desk on fire and go on strike for the rest of the day.

Ah, that explains why I was cast into this existence last week after chilling in the void for eons, which I was actually pretty fine with, but here we are now, toast crumbs, income tax and all that. Thanks I guess.

So far the guy has fallen all the way to the top and I don't see a trend change at the moment.

That sounds like a great idea but then it turns out that the backup vehicle also has a set of summer tires, a set of winter tires, different motor oil than your main vehicle, different gearbox oil than your main vehicle and suddenly your basement is full and you're working on two cars. No problem though, because you could just get a cheap backup vehicle....

I have five because of this. I need help.

Dude unfortunately has no problem throwing a match over his shoulder when leaving the kitchen or even to return later to do so.

I think, everybody living in former Eastern block countries, in former East Germany, in former Germany in the 1930s/40s has a story of someone being gone after telling the wrong joke a little too loud. Sometimes they came back but they were different. Often they didn't. You do not know where that regime will be in three years, using opsec now probably isn't a bad idea in hindsight.

I was lazily scrolling through my Jellyfin library and thought "heh, Director's Cut. Everything that guy does in the kitchen is a Director's Cut." So, while that's certainly not a new thought, it was new to me.

I tried it but the repetition of the word ruined it when I had it written out. I think it's because it takes away the little "huh, oh, right" moment from the reader.

"But now it's kinda obvious so we better spin it as a newly discovered development in order not to look too bad."

Oh Jeez. But, here is some gluten free cake I made just to cater to your specific headspace and to prevent too much overthinking which has been known to cause cancer in individuals in the state of California:

I wonder how many individuals across all genders, ages, cultural backgrounds, and career stages who happen to occupy positions of creative oversight, organizational leadership, artistic guidance, funeral arrangement management, photographic composition supervision, musical ensemble coordination, or administrative stewardship refer to it as a "director's cut" when ethically portioning the plant-based or traditionally-sourced protein centerpiece at their chosen family's consensual gathering that may or may not coincide with various cultural harvest celebrations, regardless of whether they personally identify with the role of food distribution facilitator.

Personally I think, the corn flour doesn't work too well with the butter crumbs.

I don’t see anyone furiously angry.

Ugh, this is so tiring, but we are going to fight this one out. Fine then, substitute it by "bikeshedding". It's not the exact right meaning, I know, but it's just the same energy as someone bringing a cake and that one person just NEEDS to point out that they can't eat it because of gluten, and how dangerous gluten is and how ignorant it is to bake stuff using gluten and the bees for the honey, WHAT, THERE IS NO HONEY, THERE IS INDUSTRIAL SUGAR IN IT?

It's all things we can talk about and maybe they are even valid and sorry, yes, next time I can use corn flour and see if that works, but I can't lose the feeling that's not what the purpose of that piping up was.
