When I hear fax machine I think of Die Hard, “Just the fax” and a few donkeys here sending unsolicited faxes to each other at your work some 15-20 years ago.

I grew up in DTLA. I’m oldish
I still call em bums. Apparently that’s frowned upon.

Maybe you should get a better machine. I just set it, and forget it. (Thank you, Ron Popeil.)

I was watching a college football game last night and one of the running backs had a 95 yard touchdown run. Took it to the apartment.

Probably already covered, but I miss the days when you knew how much your drive thru/pickup total was before you got there. Now it's always a different price depending on what day of the week it is or the time of day.

Bands that ask me to divine the meaning of their hackneyed lyrics.
I was listening to music on shuffle and the Eagles “victim of love” came on. Banger of a song, sure. But then I was reminded that I disliked the lyric “some people never come clean. I think you know what I mean.”
No bro. I don’t. It’s your f’n song, why don’t you tell me what you mean instead of this vague wink and a nod nonsense. I’m not in your special club of knowing what that lyric means.
I’m pretty sure it means “I couldn’t think of anything deep that rhymed with clean”. “Glean, “bean”, or “baleen”” after all, are not very rock and roll.
To this day I don’t know wtf Don is talking about in this song, and it’s irritating.

They should rebrand to Alcoholics Affirmation at this point.
I have had some "hot honey" that actually has a bit of spice to it. It was a drizzle on a pizza that used the cup and char pepperoni and was fantastic. But much of the other versions around is exactly what you described. Frustrating. I love me some sweet-hot combo.

Here’s the thing about the hot honey trend - it’s silly.
Pro tip on having great hot honey: buy good honey. Something local, good quality.
Buy dried pepper powder to your preferred heat level.
1. Open honey
2. Assuming a 16 oz jar, add ~1-2 Tbsp of dried & ground peppers. Mild = jalapeño/serrano. Medium = cayenne. Hot = habanero/scotch bonnet, XHot = scorpion//ghost/reaper
3. Stir in with a chopstick
4. Wait about a week.
Not only will you have better quality honey with a spice level better suited to your preference, you’ll likely pay significantly less for it by buying honey & dried & ground pepper powder separately since the hot honey makers are glomming onto a trend and likely producing an inferior quality product.
Finally, if you see anything in the ingredients but “honey, [variety of] pepper”, don’t buy it. Anything else is diluting it to save $ in making it. Honey is the only naturally preserved food, and no additives are required. Dried peppers are inert, and should require no additional preservatives.

I'm not familiar with Davis. Is he also a nepo baby?

He does the regular season local broadcast for the Dodgers. he is going to be the Fox guy for the WS like he was last WS. It would be like Buck whenever he was doing a Cardinals broadcast.
mr. furley
Footballguy
he has to be an android. i'm convinced. the network plugged him into a machine and fed him stock-baseball-guy clips in hopes that he'd pick up the lingo, but all he got was a knockoff, stilted, Brockmire voice.

He is so much worse than Buck. Add John “I talk through the entire broadcast” Smoltz and they are awful to listen to.

Just had a curbside pickup where the woman loaded everything into my trunk and then walked off. Didn't close it, didn't even ask if I wanted it closed
This is why it's great to have two TV's in my den. I can have the game on muted and then a show my wife likes on the other TV to make her happy. Win-win.

Due to a rash of pedestrians being hit in our area (due to awful drivers) they have now installed “No right on Red” at nearly every single light in the county.
It’s not going well.

Yeah it's fun being at the front of the line waiting for it to turn green. Clueless numbnuts honking at me to turn because their scheduled 7/11 beer run has been delayed by a few seconds.

On the protected left turn, I do think there is a balance there. I get annoyed (and make liberal use of the horn) when the person in front of me is clearly just looking at their phone and not paying to the protected light arrow changing green, causing cars behind to miss the protected arrow.
But then the other day, I was the car in line where lost the protected arrow and I stopped to let the handful of cars in incoming traffic go before I could safely turn, and the car behind me honked at me for stopping and, I guess, not risking my life by playing chicken that oncoming traffic would not ram into me.

NFL needs to institute a new rule: If you are the backup RB on a team, you are not allowed to wear a number that can be easily confused with the starter's. For example, Ameer Abdullah should not be allowed to wear 26 if he's backing up Jonathan Taylor (28).

Hey man, a lot of TEs died so that one day you could sit on your couch and watch Gunnar Helm score. How dare you disrespect their memories!
Also, you're probably just mad because your family once again forgot to get you a NTED present

Wow. Joe Davis is beyond annoying. Heard him throughout the playoffs but never actually saw what he looked like until minutes ago when they zoomed into the booth. Thought he was an older guy but lordy lord is his face punchable. Add his choir boy mono tone Dodger homerism... shut it off already. And he is no Vin Scully.

Try Davis with Orel Hershieser during a broadcast. Even worse, with Nomar in the booth doing Dodgers games. Yes, Nomar does all the local post game coverage with Jerry Hairhat on Spectum. There is so much grease in the hairstyles of Dodger Spectrum guys that rivals a Diddy party.
Mrs. Rannous
Footballguy
Nope. Not gonna do it.

Nomar with Davis is really, really bad lol. Orel, I get it, he's gonna homer. But Nomar?

And, for the record, Monica Lewinsky, too.
Also LA area.

It's fine seeing it an angle like that, if that style is your thing. It's another matter when it's shining right at you while you're driving, or filling up your whole rear view mirror with light like the one behind me for too long last night.
