              why the fuck do so many people wear hard rock cafe merchandise?
              You've just had a really shitty overpriced meal but thought it was so great you are now willing to pay you for an even worse value t shirt?

                  I was sitting in wow burger yesterday tackling a hangover thinking the same thing. They had merchandise there and I was wondering what genius was the first to get people to pay to advertise for them.

                  The next worst step is superdry, if it's not enough to pay 80e for a top the cunts want you walking around like a NASCAR car sponsored by them.

Main problem I'd expect to have with them is not being able to check the progress of something as it is cooking, you can't even taste the contents without releasing the pressure.
                        This is a type of person not a type of appliance IMO. Getting pressure cooker soon.

                                  Bonus day today, and it was hard to press the "max pension" button over "immediate pleasure" button but by god I did it.

                                  Thanks for the pressure cooker and slow cooker replies. I guess I was wondering is slow cooker food bland (probably) but I'm lazy and it appeals to me. Pressure cooker seems like more work but better food, and I wondered do people cook dishes in it. I also see some do slow cooking too now actually.

                                    That pretty much answers Tara's question. It's a pressure cooker/ slow cooker in one device. What a wonderful time to be alive!

One wanted to finish his degree and never made it big time in basketball.. The other had a great career.. I think that was it anyway.

                                                                                Still impressive cashing though.

There would be no need whatsoever for interpreters when doing the only real business on the agenda of of passing over whatever the modern day equivalent of a Swiss Bank Account is.

Trump has the moronic core vote on a tight rein and a substantial section of the rich and powerful Fintard cohort playing the role of enthusiastic collaborators, this like everything else the arseclown does is going to be allowed by the moral midgets of the Republican party.

Everyone in academia has such a high opinion of themselves that they feel being told to do anything is fcking them over. In this case I need to kick out their closely held PhD students. It's going to be a nightmare.

The least imperfect set of countries that have ever existed. We are the gold standard for countries and we have shared values and ideals that make life for our citizens better than for any humans that have ever walked the planet.

                                                                                                                    Putin, in many ways, is the antithesis of these values. Which you could live with in the abstract - but he has actively set out to undermine the institutions of the West. He is not our friend, he is our enemy and must be confronted implacably until he backs down.

                                                                                                                    That's why the President of the United States unilaterally siding with our enemy against our own institutions and values is such an appalling phenomenon.
