Will someone call this number (Hampton Inn) and see if anyone answers. I’ve called 10+ times each day over the last few to no answer.
Do you have Amex or a good cc? Just call them, contest charge, and have them deal with it.
Yeah I’m about to. It’s more just blowing my mind that a hotel refuses to answer their phone for 3 days straight. Could be a twilight zone scenario where it disappeared completely.
I called, they didn’t pick up.

Well, that’s the number for a Hilton, not a Hampton. Have you tried 1-877-STAY-HGI?
Same thing. It’s 3 hotels in 1 building all under the Hilton umbrella.
Roundabouts are pretty confusing for people who have never used them. I remember my mother trying to use one in Ireland. I mean driving on the left side of the road and right side of the car was hard enough let alone using a roundabout for the first time.

starts like benny hill, but seems like they figure it out in about 40 seconds.
driving through a diverging diamond was pretty uncomfortable the first time.
The people who went into the left lane to turn left must have been thinking, “This is so easy!”

Practical physics question: To avoid spilling when pouring liquid out of a carafe, server, or another vessel, is it better to pour
- Slow
- Quick
- Slow at first then quick
- Quick at first then slow
- Drink from the carafe

I think slow at least at first is right, then you can speed up but not too much. You want to establish a laminar flow of coffee over the surface of the spout (fluid velocity at the fluid/solid interface is zero). But since you’re pouring it out, there’s a discontinuity where the fluid leaves the spout. You want to manage turbulence there, so don’t add too much energy to the fluid by pouring fast. Apparently, I suck at fluids so this doesn’t always work and I can’t avoid spilling at least a few drops most of the time.

I was thinking of you, ha.
Spout.
Hmm, that might be my problem in that it could be I tend to rotate the spout so that some fluid goes over the side and the flow is outside the spout at that location. Need to pay closer attention. Thanks!

Man, Rod Dreher is so awesome.
Bret Stephens has written a million pieces around the theme “why Democrats need to appeal to center-right shitheads like me” and they are all unreadable garbage. By contrast, Rod Dreher’s central theme is “Why the male asshole is the most captivating yet terrifying thing in the world” and all his pieces on this theme are awesome. I am not really being ironic about this. Stephens is an example of a guy who writes deliberately in such a way as to obscure his real thoughts and feelings. I read Rod and I understand what it’s like to be a closeted guy frightened by the idea of college students eating ass. He puts his psyche right out there on the page. The man is an artist.

Anecdotal but the number of middle class heroin addicts I met as a prosecutor in the mid - late 2000’s who started off with a legal opiate prescription and ultimately progressed to heroin was quite high. There were a shocking number of marginally functioning, falling out of the middle class, heroin addicts. (Who ultimately ended up as the victims of, or witnesses to, violent crime, which is how I crossed paths with them).
Yeah that was super common. Back injury, car accident, whatever. Doctors fucking overprescribed the shit out of opiates. Then the same doctors cut off the opiates and the patients turned to street oxy. Then that became too expensive and they ended up on the cheapest street opiate, heroin. I still remember I got a root canal and the endodontist prescribed me 20 fucking hydros. I took one ibuprofen and was fine. That shit was out of control.
