I have heard of this tradition numerous times, but for some reason when I saw the title, I thought it was a toaster for bread.

And in that regard, you’re absolutely correct, jeans aren’t the best but they’re pants so they’ll work. If the club doesn’t want to see it like that then you might be better off without the club. Like I said, I personally don’t like to hike in jeans but to each their own.

As far as being in the club or potentially getting kicked out for wearing jeans, you have to pick whether this issue is potentially worth getting kicked out or leaving the group over.

If I were in your jeans and had no deep ties to the club, I would be gone but if some good friends were in the group and I wanted to hang out with them more, I would be willing to to put the jeans away for those hikes.

Without more info, I would technically say that no one is wrong here but the rule is stupid.

You’re the best judge of your hiking ability so if you like to hike in jeans and know you can do it, go for it. I personally don’t like to hike in jeans, they’re usually too hot and heavy for me but I don’t care what others are wearing. Now, you mentioned it was a club and more formal clubs usually have rules and might have a dress code for one reason or another. The rules might not make sense to you but if you want to be in the club, you need to follow the club’s rules.

To take it further, is there a written list of rules that everyone must abide by or is it just a verbal understanding of the rules? If it’s written down and you agreed to the rules to join, then it’s on you for not following the rules. If it’s just a verbal arbitrary agreement on what the rules are then it’s on the club for not spelling it out in the beginning.

We said “Thoughts and Prayers” that’s obviously enough.

Dammit…good work.

In that context it sounds like they are using the word “sadly” in place of a word like “unfortunately”.

“unfortunately, i’m referring to you.”

“Unfortunately, i think you should suffer and realize what an annoying piece of shit you are.”

Now, as to why it’s sad or unfortunate, I’m not sure. It could be that the person saying “sadly” likes the other person but is upset with them in the moment, or the person saying “sadly” could be trying to soften the blow of a mean comment like the one you used in the example, or they could be saying it’s sad/unfortunate for the person they are talking to.

Just my two cents.

Did we need a new slang term for “boofing”? I guess so.

Please forgive my ignorance but the quote you used suggests a clock running without electricity. The article never mentioned it running without an energy source.

I have a tenuous grasp of physics so you could definitely be correct. Can someone with more education on this topic answer if photons can act as an electric current in this experiment?

If you’re talking politically, then I agree 100%, like you said, we’ve done terrible shit in this country from before day one.

If I’m thinking literally though, 250 years have passed, including the start of Industrial Revolution. They would have no idea what anything was or what was going on, just like what would happen if someone today was transported that far in the future. That’s why I always think this argument is stupid.

To your point on the snow. Like you said, it melts fast here, usually. But we do get those years where we get a big dump of snow and then it gets cold and stays cold for a few days so it all turns to ice. Since Denver doesn’t plow side streets, those turn into absolute shit shows.

Might be fun to watch a Waymo try to navigate that.

“The worry is they’ll pull you over when you’re driving and ask for your papers,” said Lidia

Your papers, please (or "papers, please") is an expression or trope associated with police state functionaries demanding identification from civilians during random stops or at checkpoints. It is a cultural metaphor for life in a police state.

I have sterilized equipment in a an operating room. At the hospital I worked at, most instruments got sent to a central processing where there were first given a soak before going into a what was basically a large dish washer. Once the instruments were cleaned, they were sorted by hand and loaded into the appropriate instrument cases before being hand wrapped and taped. Some of the more specialized sets, delicate tools, and scopes were cleaned by myself or another OR aide.

So most surgical tools can definitely be automated but some of the more delicate or specialized tools do require an actual person to clean them.

This was ten years ago so who knows how technology has changed in that time.
