When I drove rideshare, I loved the quiet passengers. I honestly had to talk so damn much to everyone else, it felt like a break.

I’ll bite: Arkansas (and probably some other states that I’m less aware of)

It’s an old law from the westward expansion days which says that any establishment that sells food and/or drink is not allowed to charge for the serving of water itself. Some businesses get around this by automatically upcharging for a larger size than their “standard” drink serving size (read: anything beyond “small”), or by charging for the cup, but the vast majority still follow the spirit of the law and don’t charge for water because of the cultural momentum.

You’re still right, though. There are costs associated with acquiring and maintaining a supply of potable water, so this law effectively forces businesses to eat the cost of the water they serve to customers. However, that’s such a small percentage of a restaurant’s water use that it’s trivial to cover by other means.

Did that hole in the ground spontaneously appear of its own accord, or do you think it might be more likely that a professional was paid to do that, along with installing electrical equipment in the hole to bring the water to the surface for use?

Well water ain’t free either.

Apparently, it’s actually quite common for directors of Godzilla movies to take inspiration from their cats for Godzilla’s mannerisms lol

When the herb in the bowl is deep, gotta get the flame deeper, so either get gud, or burny fingy.

Like, people have been using regular lighters for this for forever, so it’s not a necessity, just easier.

My uncle missed Thanksgiving 2019 because he was in an Arkansas hospital for “untreatable viral pneumonia” and the various complications that came with it. Shit was fucking everywhere already by then.
