OT: 110th Obsequious Banter Thread: Giving 110% and more

Holy shit. Stay safe, friends. Huge hail here.

 

[Cody Webster]

Went from golfing in beautiful weather to leaving on the 16th and driving through a tornado on the way home.

 

[Flybynite]

I’ve seen hail, but not this much.

Yea, had hail coming down pretty heavy like I said then it tapered off. Then like a few mins later it suddenly started up again (although not as big as the initial hail so maybe the wrap-around or back-end of it)

His frijoles!

Honestly, given the opportunity, he would probably eat beans. He eats more people food than any other cat I've seen. We've caught him eating lettuce before.

There was a hailstorm in, I believe 2013, around Reading/Wyomissing, PA that gave me two full years of work. We didn't get any where I'm at now, but I heard they got some in Pottstown which is only 10 minutes east. Weird how random it can be

Center city about 15 minutes before the flood waters opened up lol

 

[Flybynite]

Looked outside and did not see it coated as much as some of these tweets tho

Nahla loves greens, specifically spinach. If we have some in the house she HAS to have some.

Hailed here last week for like 2 mins. Small, but still pretty wild. Climate change isn't real

My cat is a f***ing moron

Electric kettle

For the life of me, I will never understand why those are so unpopular in the US.

faster and more energy efficient because the stove is more wasteful by transferring heat(energy) that is not actually going into heating the kettle. (especially for flame burners)

Is this for tea? Girl just microwaves the water lol

 

[Tripod]

Wife just uses this. Perfect for small uses

Tea, coffee, ramen, whatever. They're super energy efficient and you can get fancier ones with actual temperature controls.

Different types of teas/coffees should be steeped/brewed at different temperatures for best taste. Lighter teas like green or white can be suggested at as much as a 40F lower temp than a black tea for example.

We found that exact one at a thrift store in college and used the hell out of it. Worked like a charm forever.

Whomever suggested Brave browser...is there a way to import my bookmarks?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

We had a thunderstorm roll thru here a little while ago. Heavy rain, big lightning and winds. Felt like a summer time storm

 

[Superman33]

This is the place to put dog pictures, right? Had a dog growing up, but never wanted to get one when I was working 80+ hours a week. I would have felt bad leaving it alone from like 7 to 7 every day. Now that I'm working way less and have the opportunity to train a service dog to hang out with me all the time thanks to the brain tumor and the coming issues that presents, I pulled the trigger on acquiring one yesterday.

I present to you Zephyr Theseus McDoodle. He is a medium Goldendoodle and is three months old. Despite the not so favorable weather conditions, we're currently batting around .750 on bathroom attempts and directing him to chew on toys instead of non-chewing items has been rather successful so far. Stairs are currently a no go, which is great because he can't get to far out of sight when he wanders.

Update on the stairs, he already figured them out. Both up and down. I've got 5 or so steps from the outside to the front door and then the house is three floors with both sets of stairs having a "turn back" with two sections. Currently he only has an issue with one section when going down. It is the only set of stairs that is enclosed on both sides, so for some reason that is freaking him out a bit, but he'll do it when a treat is involved. So I'm pretty sure he is a genius, figured out the stair thing within 24 hours and is now pretending to be scared on one section to get a treat.

Sure enough....tornado warnings in our area...including Bucks.

Hopefully, things will be ok...

There are a few shots on Twitter of what appears to be a funnel cloud over the north end of Atlantic City. This is the best shot and is actually a really cool picture. It was taken in Brigantine in the entrance to what I like to refer to as "Hill Billy Beach" on the south end of Brigantine. Only about 3 miles away.

It isn't Climate Change. This is very clearly the plot line to The Day After Tomorrow. This is a Global Climate Shift. Watch out for wolves.

She has had that exact one since I have known her,...2010. Works fantastic.

Crazy reading about how bad the weather is where you all are. It was a gorgeous day here in Montreal-ish.

Probably hit about 68 (Ameriheit) and only small pockets of snow in shaded areas are left.

British Columbia now has free birth control for any BC resident

Forward thinking

Essential for both tea and noodles, among other things. They rule. I bought mine in Thailand the first week I was there - it cost about a dollar (not kidding) and lasted through the six years.

I know he was not at fault this time but it is funny how Stroll always finds himself in these accidents. Also #Ferrari
