Tortilla chips with just lettuce is how @Tank orders his nachos. 

Tortilla chips are the perfect delivery device for most edible accoutrements.  But that doesn't mean you can call them nachos @Tank; there are rules, this isn't Nam!

This is the shit I’m talking about.  Men don’t use the word “delicious” to describe anything other than beer or meat.  Stop being such a pansy.

I was disappointed because I generally look forward to nachos.  I think it was my birthday, too, and that made it worse for some reason.

Let’s just agree they made a tostada by mistake. No one deserves nacho disappointment on their birthday.

Goddammit. This is also disappointing

Even if they don't it wasn't a garnish. It was like a cross between nachos and a tostada.  It sucked.  The lettuce was all warm and shit. 

Goddammit. This is so disappointing

When BWW was new I went to one in Idaho Falls and ordered nachos and there was lettuce on the nachos.

Lettuce has no business being on nachos.  Jason is right, white people ruin everything.  Probably Mormons to boot.

Chips, cheese, meat.  Enchilada sauce, beans and garnish optional.  Wait, was the lettuce actually lettuce, or shitty cilantro?

I got new irons - TaylorMade Stealths.  The guy that did the fitting said that my swing wasn't shallow enough so I practiced that the 4+ weeks while I waited for the irons to arrive.  Feels weird trying to relearn.

Played Rio Hondo last Friday.  Was hot, but my revamped swing was helpful.  Unfortunately couldn't hit my driver off the tee and couldn't putt to save my life.  103

California approves lithium tax despite industry's warnings

https://www.yahoo.com/news/california-approves-lithium-tax-despite-025926314.html

Quote

"Supporting a tax that ensures lithium imports from China are less expensive for auto manufacturers to secure will devastate this promising Californian industry before it has begun," said Rod Colwell, Controlled Thermal's chief executive.

Now, I take the "industry's warnings" with a grain of salt, but if true that the tax makes Chinese lithium cheaper...JFC

You mean you didn't like the allure of spending the night at your grandma's house in the 80s?

State imposes sweeping ban on pumping river water in San Joaquin Valley, Bay Area

 

I still scratch my head that they want to build more housing, but we're banning the pumping of water.

Most of California’s water isn’t used by people going about their daily lives at home or work. About 80% of water use statewide is for agriculture, with the rest for houses and businesses.

Of that remaining 20%, nearly half goes toward watering lawns and landscapes, washing cars or sidewalks, or filling pools and spas.

 

Why don't we examine the agriculture that we export and target them first?  Why should foreign entities get the benefit of subsidized water to buy our almonds or alfalfa

Newsom’s electric car nirvana collides with reality

I'm going up north in a few weeks.  It would take me a few days, if I had an electric car.  If I was able to find an outlet.

 

The end result of all of this will be your car declining to turn on when you input your destination.  "I'm sorry, there is not enough supply for your trip today, please try again later"
