    - when I was little, we had "books". -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:48 2
      - You mean, like a Kindle? -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Sep 2, 09:52
      - we used these picture packages, like colour by numbers only stickers (Toys R Us/Walmart has them). Our kids loved them and killed a 3 hour flight. -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 09:50

I liked how Morgan handled the whole thing. He kept one-upping them and that's why it kept escalating. -- nm - David Sep 2, 09:41 1

So why is brewed sweetened Iced Tea is better than just putting a packet of sugar in your glass? Because it is. - JaxSean Sep 2, 09:41 9
- Three things make things dissolve faster: crush it, stir it, heat it. But it's still dissolving. -- nm - mara Sep 2, 09:44 4
  - don't forget staring at it. -- nm - Max Sep 2, 09:47 3
    - or playing a romantic song on the ukelele for it -- nm - kare Sep 2, 09:47 2
      - Hee! -- nm - mara Sep 2, 09:51
      - this made me giggle. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:48
- I think that's actually true. They add the sugar when the liquid is hot? -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:42 3
  - Yes, during the "brewing," dumbass. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 2, 09:43 2
    - then yes, totally true. solids dissolve better and faster in hot liquid. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:43 1
      - and the amount that can be dissolved increases. that can create neat affects when the liquid cools. - zork Sep 2, 09:48

- I like this song - much better then her others - Epiphany Sep 2, 09:43
(i'll grant an exception for Irish Coffee) -- nm - Reagen Sep 2, 09:38 7
- so you're prejudiced against Mexico, Spain, and Bavaria - zork Sep 2, 09:44
- not even milk? -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:40 5
  - the only time I add milk to coffee is when it's really terrible coffee - Reagen Sep 2, 09:41 4
    - all coffee is terrible. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 2, 09:42 2

Should 18-year old service members be able to legally drink at on-base restaurants & clubs? -- (link) - Strongbad Sep 2, 09:35 45
- No. I think things are fine the way they are now. -- nm - Qale Sep 2, 09:59
- Nope. As ty says not if it's only service members. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 2, 09:52
- 18??? you mean when they have been drinking for years? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 2, 09:49
- I don't want a special exception like this. Just make 18 the drinking age. - ty97 Sep 2, 09:38 37
  - yes...nm - xi Sep 2, 09:52
  - [deleted] 1
    - hmmm - uptick in more jailed 18 y/os and more broke? - Epiphany Sep 2, 09:44
  - I agree with this, as long as we bump the driving age up to 18 at the same time. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 2, 09:42 32
    - This seems like a bad idea, would we really want teens learning to both drive and drink at the same time? -- nm - Ender Sep 2, 09:48 1
      - They should have to choose one or the other. -- nm - Roger More Sep 2, 09:58
    - I rather like. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 2, 09:43
    - this penalizes the working class (seriously. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:42 26
      - It would make some people's lives less convenient, yes. It would also increase safety on our roads. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 2, 09:45 23
        
        inability to take a job is not just "inconvenient". -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:46 22
        
        Cars are not required for employment. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 2, 09:47 21
        
        depends on where you live and what you do. -- nm - decline Sep 2, 09:52 2
        
        How many 16 and 17 year olds have much of a choice? (career path) You take what you can get. - Strongbad Sep 2, 10:06 1
        
        Try living in the country. You can't not have a car -- nm - decline Sep 2, 10:15
        
        for a lot of trades it's pretty much impossible to get to work sites without a car. -- nm - zork Sep 2, 09:51 9
        
        how many of those trades employ 16 and 17 year olds? -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 09:52 8
        
        how old do you think apprentices are? -- nm - zork Sep 2, 09:55 1
        
        plus they could have family connections - zork Sep 2, 09:55
        
        hey city dweller, the rest of America needs cars. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:53 5
        
        My 2 cents, people would start demanding more multimodal options (transit, bike, ped) if their 16yo couldn't get to work. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 2, 09:58 2
        
        in rural places it's very likely none of those would work. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:59 1
        
        Yes. - Strongbad Sep 2, 10:07
        
        I grew up in the suburbs, and I didn't need a car to get to work. -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 09:56 1
        
        a single point of evidence means nothing. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:59
        
        for some jobs/locations, absolutely yes. how do you get to work? -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:49 6
        
        Half the time I'm carpooling, the rest I'm driving myself. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 2, 09:51 5
        
        I don't mean you specifically. the point is many people - loosilu Sep 2, 09:52 4
        
        Many people use them. Less than that need them. Yes, it's a function of rural vs. urban communities -- nm - Strongbad Sep 2, 09:55 3
        
        lots of sales jobs require a car no matter where it is. I used to lug around huge sample cases that would be a bitch on the subway or bus. -- nm - zork Sep 2, 09:57 2
        
        Why give a high schooler that job, though? -- nm - mara Sep 2, 09:59
        
        There are jobs that require cars, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 2, 09:59
        
        Unless you're delivering pizzas. :) - Dr.Vermin Sep 2, 09:49
      - Job-related exemptions are already granted for qualifying minors. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 2, 09:44 1
        
        I might be ok with that. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:47
    - I don't understand how these two items are related. -- nm - ty97 Sep 2, 09:42 1
      - They're not. It's what I would do if I were Emperor of the World. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 2, 09:44
  - agreed. And I think it's very wrong we let 18 year olds vote, get married, and get killed in combat, but they can't have a beer. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:39
- Yes. Because they stand on a wall, and say "nothing's going to hurt you tonight. Not on my watch." - Dr.Vermin Sep 2, 09:38 2
  - This may be my favorite post today. Hell, the week. -- nm - nubby Sep 2, 09:44 1 1
