Why do you think it's “coffee” at the end? I don't hear “-ffee” at all.

Perhaps if you upload the full thing we might be able to hear another part of it.

EDIT: Could it be “I'm almost out of college” from Waves (Remix) by Caleborate? Unfortunately, there's seemingly no recording of it online any more.

Oh I see. I don't think I've ever had boneless wings before, so I didn't know. I assumed they were just deboned wings. What you describe I would always see advertised as something like “chicken goujons” or “boneless chicken pieces”. Why do they call them “wings” if they aren't from the wing, do you know?

Over here, "boneless wings" means the chicken has Buffalo sauce on it. Because Buffalo chicken is almost always wings, they just call the boneless kind "wings" too so that people realize they are getting Buffalo chicken. Basically the word "wings" has become synonymous with Buffalo chicken. We have a ton of restaurants called things like "Bob's Wings" that specialize in Buffalo chicken.

I tried to convince my kid that Buffalo wings were actually made of Buffalo wings because some cows in America can fly today. Shes having none of my nonsense, and shes only 6. A sad day.

What part of the buffalo do they use to make the sauce?

 

[Brian Boru]

What part of the buffalo do they use to make the sauce?

The wings.

 

[ZedClampet]

What part of the buffalo do they use to make the sauce?

The part that comes from Buffalo, New York, where they were invented.

I've heard that Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo, can you confirm?

Y'all are making me want to make some wings tonight.

My 6 year old also knows I'm completely full of crap. I've made my bed, I guess.

No worries, I wont let it stop me.

 

[BeardyHat]

Oh, absolutely.

Only problem is now that the 6 year old tells the 4 year old I'm full of crap, so it doesn't work as reliably on the younger now either.

 

[Brian Boru]

@BeardyHat @Kaamos_Llama Don't worry guys, it'll improve a lot soon.

Shush everyone, they don't yet know I'm also full of crap

Here’s a Google Drive link to the audio file I’m talking about.

Like I said, it’s super short and super muffled, ...

Sounds country/folk to me. NO clue where you get coffee from, though!?

Yeah, I've got no idea. With just two seconds, the notes could match thousands of songs. I searched that nonsense string and got God in the Straw by Derrick Drover and, indeed, some of the bits sound like they might fit - but I think that's simply because a ton of songs would kinda fit.

Any other lefties here?

I was forced to write with my right hand, which had plus and minus. I was a bit slower at writing, but became somewhat ambidextrous as a result, which proved quite useful in sport.

~20 yeas ago when I got RSI in my left arm from mouse use, I was able to easily change to right-hand use—and my first wrist rest!—and have stayed right-handed since. So that was another plus—I'm glad I was forced to change my writing hand as a kid

Both my parents were righties, so guess my odds of being lefty were lowest.

Why are some people left-handed?

Not that the cutesy video was willing to mention it, but left-handedness correlates strongly with other genetic defects, such as lopsided features, immune disorders, mental illness, sexual targeting disorders, etc. The Ockham's Razor answer is that they are all largely just consequences of high mutational load.

left-handedness correlates strongly with

The Mutant Says in His Heart, “There Is No God”: the Rejection of Collective Religiosity Centred Around the Worship of Moral Gods Is Associated with High Mutational Load - Evolutionary Psychological Science

Industrialisation leads to relaxed selection and thus the accumulation of fitness-damaging genetic mutations. We argue that religion is a selected trait that would be highly sensitive to mutational load. We further argue that a specific form of religiousness was selected for in complex societies...

The Ockham's Razor answer

Be careful you don't cut yourself with that Edward Dutton does not stand up to much scrutiny.

We don't discuss religion or other bait here, so let this be the end of it. As one critique puts it:
"the authors handling of scientific evidence is not that much better than how they interpret Bible verses"

Bit unfair to make snarky comments and then unilaterally declare that it can't be discussed, but jannies' privilege I suppose

The ancient, storied city of Venice apparently now has roving bands of singing Swifties.

What I learned today is that @Brian Boru is a left-handed, misshapen, mentally ill sexual predator.

Cool. I've never been able to tell people that I know a dangerous sex predator before. I'll tell them how he almost seems normal at times.

UT's basketball coach. Rick Barnes, likes lefties. Against all odds, most of the team is usually left handed. I don't know if there's some philosophy behind it. There has to be. This doesn't happen by accident. No one has asked him about it. May be like the baseball strategy in some way. He will some day be in the basketball Hall of Fame for his coaching, so he's doing something right.

That's a thing with many sports with an active opponent—lefties make up way more of the elite level players than pro rata would suggest. No philosophy, just opponents aren't as used to dealing with them on their way to elite—another of our superpowers, apart from those you already learned.

You're right, but the teams we play aren't like that. They may have one or even 2 lefties whereas we have 10 out of 13.

Why would you lie to them like that?

 

[Zloth]

Why would you lie to them like that?

We're in full campaign mode over in the USA. Thus, the language has changed so that "almost" means "not at all, but I wish it was." Taken that way, it's clear that Zed's message is one of hope that Brian will one day rise above his left handedness. I found it quite moving!

 

[Brian Boru]

I wish it was—I know exactly where I'd move some people!
