The way people conflate Sars-Cov2, Coronavirus and Covid-19 makes me lose sleep at night.

I'm definitely a two-tapper. Mixer taps are too wily, you always have to test the water is actually cold and drinkable before bringing in the glass. With a dedicated cold tap you know what you're getting. Not to mention the increased tap contention when dealing with multiple tap users. Two taps gives a limited concurrency that a mixer will never achieve.

The best would be to have both a mixer tap and a dedicated cold tap. You often want 100% cold water but rarely want 100% hot water imo.

The thing about a good pun is you don’t have to faucet.

This smarmy strawberry floating realtor banana split in NY who keeps adding me to his newsletters for one million dollar + properties and penthouses in the USA, he took my email from LinkedIn.

I've asked to be taken off the list something like 5 times I keep "somehow" getting added back in. For FIVE YEARS.

strawberry float not only spammers, but professional spammers, rich banana splits who don't give a strawberry float about anyone's privacy or even remotely targeted campaigns, if they do that.

Every damn time they say, "scroll down to the bottom of the email and you can unsubscribe". They don't seem to be able to get it into their thick head that your consent is required to send direct marketing emails now. It's THEIR responsibility to not send them in the first place and delete the email. So they just copy and paste the same strawberry floating database over and over again with what thousands/millions of people in it and each time they send those emails they're breaking the law. strawberry floating pisses me off sometimes, but most of all, as they keep moving email domains/employers, and copying over their lists each time (which itself is illegal), you can't block this gooseberry fool forever because the details just change.

So each time I get one it sends me into a digital rights fit of rage simply about how strawberry floating stupid and obnoxious one person can be about something so strawberry floating simple. strawberry float those people. Just cheeses me off that when you email person@person.person, that is a real, actual person and you are wasting their time.

That and I'm not even in the same strawberry floating country and I'm no where near in the market for buying property. This is basic marketing gooseberry fool, I know marketing gooseberry fool, and that's probably what pisses me off the most, is just how amateurish it is. HEY I NEED TO SELL 500 MILLION WORTH OF PROPERTY, EMAIL EVERYONE!!!

Don't get me started on unsubscribe links that don't work either.
