OT: 113th Obsequious Banter Thread: 1 of 13, a baker's dozen

It never occurred to me that with global supply improving and crypto tanking, that Prime Day would have more than deals on SSDs and RAM. With time to budget and prepare I could have massively improved my desktop with some great deals

Always weaponize the obsessives.

Can't imagine what this judge would consider a reasonable timeframe for actual rape...

Pets may be part of the family but can we please leave them at home and not bring them in the store, restaurants, (most) breweries, etc...?

I feel the same way about kids.

kids are great.......when you're a grandparent.

Ahem, this guy. There is a cat freeloading in my house. I had no choice in this. He's a good looking cat, you think he'd could at least get one of those modeling jobs for cat food ads or something, but no, he just sits around the house all day sleeping.

Heartless bastard. Bring some field mice in so he can get a job.

If they have a kids menu, that’s fair game, otherwise leave them home.

No.

Dogs are typically cleaner, better behaved, and more pleasant than most people you encounter in any of those places.

im big on home automation and tech in general, bought a "Switchbot Bot" off amazon for Prime Day, im returning it after playing with it for 10 minutes. The device itself is actually a cool idea, basically an automated button pusher, can push in a switch/turn on anything with a physical button, such as a coffee maker/keurig/etc.... but the alexa/google play/siri shortcuts portion of the device only works if you have the bridge.

On the other hand, i have been loading up on $17 door/window sensors from Yolink, for all the windows, doors, and even a freezer in the garage...announces on alexa/my phone when something is open, you can setup shortcuts/playlists/routines with alexa etc... put one in the mailbox so that when the mailbox opens i get an alert that the mail is here...They also have motion and vibration sensors, i have a vibration sensor in my car so i know if someone breaks into my car

If a restaurant doesn’t have a kids menu then they probably don’t have chicken tenders.

No thanks. I’m not going.

Same general principle applies to dogs. If dogs are allowed, then it's ok to bring them. If they're not allowed, it's not ok. Simple.

You're missing out on some great bars.

Yep. And in my experience at least, it's extremely rare to come across pet owners at dog friendly eateries who aren't responsible. People parents...that's more of a mixed bag.

Not only that, but in my experience (and it’s considerable) most people at those places, both customers and staff, love having dogs around. The nice people at Ben and Jerry’s used to give my dog free ice cream. With crunchy bits on top. I’ve had people at restaurants (sitting outside of course) offer to give my dog their leftovers. Dogs make people happy. Except for grouchy people.

Alcohol?
No tendies?

I’m not missing anything.

We have a couple mom n pop ice cream places nearby that have little cups with a milkbone on top you can order for them. And agreed on the staff and customers. There is a distillery near us where the owner's dog roams freely and never has an issue. Customers keep their's on lead, but everyone enjoys it. Kitten's sister had her wedding celebration there, and guess who were the flower girl and ring bearer?

I ordered a steak (after checking with the owner) for a neighboring Saint Bernard at a restaurant a while back.

The dog, not @BernieParent

No. They HAVE tendies. Chicken tender baskets are bar food staples.

Saint Jojo has a ring to it. But seriously, how rich are you? I love dogs, but damn. (I'm assuming you weren't at Ponderosa)

I didn’t order a dog a ribeye.
