    lacrosse signifies something worse than soccer?

    or something else?

    im not following at all

    Its even more of a rich kid sport

    definitely above soccer

    probably beyond polo or horse dressage

    Lacrosse is not beyond polo don't be silly

    The coffee shop also sells scones. If I got a scone and it was burnt to a crisp, I wouldn't shrug and say 'welp it's a coffee shop, how could they know that scones shouldn't be served as a charred and blackened cinder'

    Honestly.

    Why the Fuck would you burn tea like that?

    You generally want just below full boilling water for tea, otherwise you burn it and ruin the flavor.

    everyone who works at a coffee shop for some reason has no idea how to make tea

    perhaps because it is a coffee shop

    If I go to an auto mechanic and they advertise offering small engine repair, I wouldn't expect them to badly fuck up an oil change on my lawnmower, use car motor oil instead of 2-cycle, etc

    If you don't know how to do a thing, don't offer that thing?

    Tilder the real question is why you have a polluting two cycle lawnmower when you are a goat and can just eat your grass.

    Funny story, when we moved here we were warned to not go out on the roads if there was ice. Not because of the ice, mind you, but because of the rednecks who figure a 4wd vehicle doesn't need chains, snow tires, a slower speed, or damn common sense to drive in the ice/snow. The most notable accident happened a few years ago when, after some snow, someone decided to hitch up a canoe to the back of his 4wd truck and put his family in the canoe for some winter fun on the highway.

    Yeah. You can guess how that one ended.

    I am of two minds about Lacrosse.

    On the one hand, it doesn't need much gear so it's theoretically an accessible sport for anybody who can play Football.

    On the other hand culturally I can only associate it with white kids at Ivy League schools and I guess the suburban public schools of the northeast.

    No one who plays lacrosse thinks it's fancy. But it is definitely a wealthier area sport.

    There was like one lacrosse team in Memphis at the fancy rich kids school.

    C is much better than F when it comes to measuring shit.

    Water freezes at 0 and boils at 100

    Having said that, it gets confusing on camping forums because someone will be all, I went camping and it was -2 out and they don't list C or F and I'm all, hmmmm.... That could mean you're a total badass or you went camping and it was 28 degrees out.

    I'm frequently required to remember at what temperature pure water boils at sea level with normal pressure.

    if only I knew it in Farenheit!!!!!!!!

    also it's not hard to remember that freezing is 32 degrees. Is it arbitrary? Sure, but so are shoe sizes, and I can navigate those.

    not to say that celsius is crap, it's just not better outside of perhaps scientific contexts

    but i'm not a scientist

    Fahrenheit is the only part of the imperial system I think is better than Celsius.

    Because 0-100 in Fahrenheit approximates the temperature range that most humans regularly encounter.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    As a Canadian,

    Lacrosse is the best and all this "expensive equipment" talk is hogwash, all you really need is a stick and ball. All this talk of pads is for the less ... durable.

    My people invented the sport though, so I shouldn't be surprised that the white man went and played it wrong. :P

    i feel like literally every sport other than football and basketball is a white sport

    ultimate frisbee? whiter than snow

    hockey? lacrosse? soccer? all fking white

    swimming? white

    i guess the Asians have table tennis but that's probably not even a school sport still

    i guess track is more diverse, that's all i can think of
