You’re looking at it all wrong. Work on home projects sitting reserve on the company dime. On your days off take the family camping, hiking, fishing, to the beach or mountains.......

the world needs both types of people I suppose. I’d rather be golfing or camping with the family. Time off is my favorite currency.

We do, but my wife works full time too so we have to alternate days to watch the kids. They are little so I can’t watch them and do projects. It is what it is.

I enjoy that too. Broken up with flying every once on a while.

But then that turns into “wife” and you’ll be clamoring for any and all open time to get you out of town.... where you’ll meet your next girlfriend and the cycle continues.

The pictures of her burns are eye opening.

To everyone reading this, google it. It’ll change your mind. Also an HBO documentary on it.

Bottom line... nothing changed, the food industry still serves hot coffee because that's what the customers expect.

Frivolous. Kind of like suing because your stove burned you.

Not if you know the story. And the temperatures of the coffee have been reduced. There are a lot of nuances that you’re clearly unaware of.

Not according to the Wiki

"Since Liebeck, McDonald's has not reduced the service temperature of its coffee. McDonald's current policy is to serve coffee at 176–194 °F"
