Lolol went to hustler for a friend's birthday and it just so happened that her and Sophie Dee were doing a show that night. I don't follow porn but I figured it was worth bragging to you about lol. the audience was like 90% heavy metal nerds, but the show ended up being good and entertaining. most memorable low point was when some hank hill looking shithead pulled down his pants and begged for them to whip him while all of us in the audience screamed in horror.

Side convo: how am I supposed to act around a girl who is into me who is CLEARLY way prettier than I am? I've been rolling with it but the last three times we've gone out, handsome dudes have approached her and started hitting on her only for her to rebuke them and mention me. Several dudes have been like "you're with HIM?"give them a :heh when her back is to you. i wouldn't say anything about it, otherwise.
It's awkward for me but I guess the only thing I can do is stay confident and be happy a girl wants to be with me

Took a Soviet production to get framed and the person who helped me was simply interested that I'd come into possession of something from 1939 instead of why I was spending too much money getting something Soviet framed. :whew
Because of the colors used in the original production we both agreed that black and red should be the colors used for framing and the matte so I get to amuse myself in perpetuity by having something Stalinist mounted in Kronstadt colors. :teehee

If you're fucking up mundane shit on the regular you might want to go into marketing or something, because mundane shit=70% of accounting.
I really only deal directly with interns I have to carry on client cases for instance, and I'll delegate basic shit to them. I don't really run into incompetent interns. Lazy interns though...
No but I expect people to check their work and take note of important tasks before submitting it, and not act shocked or upset if I hold them over to explain how they fucked up as I play clean up. Their fuck up can easily become my fuck up, and it's interesting how many times this happens on a Friday. In terms of age I'm only a few years older than these people, and sometimes they're older than me.Not at a firm...While i may be concern trolling Karakand a little bit I see no reason to fuck with interns :yeshrug their lives are shit.

One thing I've learned: young people can be stupid and unprofessional as fuck. Showing up on time, not looking at your phone, not taking long restroom breaks...simple shit that will make you stand out from your dumbass peers.

Quit gaming. Cold turkey. I wasn't addicted or anything, but it's not me anymore and it is best to know when it's time to hang it up. It was a pretty easy decision to make. Unfortunately I now have no goal or reason to keep learning Japanese because I initally started learning to play Japanese games in their native tongue because I was sick and tired of having to deal with games I wanted not coming over, and I now I have no goal to do that anymore. Maybe in the future. I've had a lot of cherished memories gaming and I'll remember them forever so that makes me sad, but it's a worthy sacrifice for the future and I doubt such memories will be replicated in the near or far future. I must thank The Evil Within for allowing me to realize that I am simply chasing ghosts and do not have any ounce of passion for gaming anymore. Or rather, I do, but only in old stuff. Time put it up.
I quit anime, aside from anime film because that's the last vestige of legitimacy in the medium. Like gaming, anime is no longer me. Manga still is because there's more variety and I can pick what to read via interest. Thank you G-Rev and Space Dandy for showing me I have outgrown anime, and again, I'm chasing ghosts. I still have passion for animation. I'm moving to LA to pursue that for a reason. But anime today isn't the medium I fell in love with, and rather than constantly trying to replicate and hope for new stuff that appeals to me, I'm giving up.
I've almost killed my internet addiction. Anime and games were just hobbies, but I've been addicted to the net since 15 and that's something I truly want to defeat. It's going well so far. It's also easier to do - though still hard - when you're concentrating on bettering yourself by learning new things.
I want to start playing music again. Band was one of my favorite things in middle and high school, and while I know it's imposisble to recreate that environment and camaraderie. I fucking miss playing music, so I'm going to pick up the guitar again.
I'm going to attempt to get into peak physical condition by learning Muay Thai. I start on Tuesday.
I need to learn Spanish. Shame about the Japanese, but I'm really proud how far I got.
I turn 30 next year. 2015 has to count for all things in my life up to this point.
Himuro, I cut down my internet usage to about one hour per day (exception being for work or school related usage and the occasional day where there isn't shit else to do) about eight months ago and it's amazing how much shit I'm able to get done now in all facets of life.
how am I being dramatic?
I no longer have the time to play story-driven RPGs like The Legend Of Zelda
You can find better storytelling in a masterpiece like Bioshock Infinite than you will in the thousands of insipid airport novels released every year, and more beauty in most Nintendo titles than in half the galleries in Basel.I have a feeling those insipid airport novels can probably keep track of their own plot though.
Nevermind the fact that you're writing a novel over this kinda also supports my whole "you're being pretty dramatic", your argument seems to come down to "i could be doing more important things" which is a poor argument because that could be applied to almost any activity or hobby. there's always something more meaningful. it's a pointless endeavor.
and that goes to the other thing i was saying. you're putting a lot of weight on simple hobbies.
there's a difference between not partaking in a hobby for awhile because you lose interest, but to make the proclamation you're abandoning it all together is silly and makes no sense to me and sounds overly dramatic.
do what you feel, because in the end it's not really a big deal. i just think you'd be better off not putting so much behind it :yeshrug

First concert: Perfume??
:goty

I went to see Perfume in NYC last night. It was probably the best 2 hours of my life. First, the setlist:spoiler (click to show/hide)Enter the Sphere
Spring of Life (Album-mix)
Cling Cling
One Room Disco
-MC- (bagel & cupcake)
Nee
Seventh Heaven
Hold Your Hand
Spending all my time (DV&LM mix interlude into the single version)
GAME
Dream Fighter
-PTA Corner-
Party Maker (Gurun Edit)
GLITTER (unfortunately it didn't have the laser danmaku from their Gurun tour (http://i.imgur.com/3b6n83I.jpg))
Chocolate Disco (2012 mix)
Polyrhythm
-encore-
FAKE IT
MY COLOR
If they would have done Electro World instead of Cling Cling, this set would have been nearly perfect. :([close]
This was the first time I'd ever been to a concert, and my body was not ready for how loud and powerful the music would be. I could feel it in my bones, especially during their heaviest songs (GAME, Party Maker, FAKE IT, etc.). It was amazing, of course. I wound up with a pretty good spot on the floor because I stood outside in the bitter fucking cold for 4+ hours (god knows how the people who lined up in the morning survived). I'd say I was around 20-25 feet from the stage, and I'm fairly tall, so I always had a good view unless some hands & cameras got in the way. Nothing worth complaining about, especially since the show itself was flawless.
Honestly, I love Perfume more than any of my other interests, so being able to see them perform live is a dream come true for me. Hopefully this won't be the last time. :D

Went to a wrap party with my gf tonight, and I met Josh Duhamel. I told him, "You killing a Decepticon with an assault rifle was pretty awesome."I heard he was a cool dude.
And he said, "Yeah, but by the third movie, why are we even using assault rifles? They're like pop-guns to these robots. There's all this awesome tech and we don't get to use it. The Autobots are assholes."
And I was like :ohhh
So at my company, someone got the idea to do a bunch of "organic" photo-shoots that they would post on the website. They'd shoot people in pairs or small groups just talking in various points around the facility.cool stuff dude
My photoshoot was today. Not sure why they wanted to include an intern, but my name got on that list. And for whatever reason, I got paired up with a Senior Vice President (dude has direct reports who manage departments and are like four levels above where I'd be if they converted my job to full-time). The photographer wanted us to just act like we were talking naturally, so we got into a real conversation. Turns out I actually do know a fair bit about the energy industry at this point. The rise of solar and impending grid parity is a huge deal right now, but with the recent election it looks like the solar investment tax credit will probably be nixed (the WSJ basically runs an editorial every week about "picking winners and losers", the "Green Agenda", etc, and the Republican Congress is not renewing this thing), so we were talking about that and the implications, and I could tell the guy was impressed. I dropped the fact that I'm doing an MPP in addition to the MBA, and this SVP said I should email him to set up a lunch, and that he wants to introduce me to the company's policy group.

Broccoli is one of the GOAT quick dishes :lawd
got home late, had some left over pizza in the fridge. Heated up my skillet, threw in some olive oil, threw in some crushed red pepper, then put the broccoli in...didn't even cook it for long. Cooked long enough to give it a darker color, but still made sure it was crunchy...threw it on a plate with my pizza and declared victory.
Super fast, perfect for when you're too tired to do anything special. The taste explosion :lawd
One of my shitty videos got on GoNintendo. Yay?

He still hasn't apologized. He interprets everything as an attack on him. he's the most toxic person I know, all he does is crap on people whenever he opens his mouth. I don't think there's anyone on earth i hate more right now. Gonna be hard.I smell narcissism. Can't win this.

What part of the city? I'm thinking about doing the same in a year or two.
The last time I was there he hit one of my family members in a fit of rage. He's an ex kickboxing champion, weighs about 300 pounds. She was a woman.
He still hasn't apologized. He interprets everything as an attack on him. he's the most toxic person I know, all he does is crap on people whenever he opens his mouth. I don't think there's anyone on earth i hate more right now. Gonna be hard.
Gonna be 100% honest here. The person he hit was my mom. They were having an argument and my grandma (his own mother) got in the mix to try and break them up and he threatened her with an open hand, you know. And my mom got in the way and he ended up hitting her.
... I'm a mommas boy through and through. This all happened when I was at the airport. If I was actually there, seen it happen? Dunno what I'd have done. I saw blood red the moment i heard about it. Dude threatened his own 80 year old mother with physical violence and then hit my mom, his sister. And he still hasn't apologized to my mom. I just don't know if I can control my anger when I go. I'm fucking fuming just sitting here thinking about it.
And therein lies the kicker; my 80yo grandma who I suspect is slipping into dementia herself, exhausted with constantly tending to my grandfather asked me personally to help move her into my uncle's house and accompany my grandma.
Basically boils down to...I love her more than I hate him.

not much of a decision then.
I don't remember my blood type but the Red Cross always calls me saying they're in dire need of my blood. I need to set up an appointment soon.
I'm pretty sure it's a marketing thing. Even the blood types they have in heavy stock still get calls about how dire the need is.

went to the store to get some pizzas, a supreme and a pepperoni. i went to the counter and the kid ringing me up is shitting bricks for some reason, there's only two of us in line but he can't stop talking and yammering. He rings me up, and says something like "20 bucks, two pizzas, alright it'll be 12 dollars in change. uhhh i mean 6 dollars. What is wrong with me today?". I'm like "that's what the machine is for" He hands me my change and, reading my phone while talking to him, i absentmindedly take it and walk out with my pizzas, head to my car.
go home, drop the pizzas in the fridge, open up my pocket.... dude gave me 12 dollars in change. after he knew he was wrong.

Quit my job. Did it almost a week ago, but didn't have a spare moment to post it here until now. I liked the money, but with programming assignments often due at midnight (less than 2 hours after my shifts ended) I rarely had enough time to get important shit done no matter how early I started. They'd also just promoted 3 people who I'm pretty sure I was just as if not more experienced than so I felt like this was as a good a time as any to leave.
Grades will certainly go up and maybe I'll even be able to post on the Bore more than once a month. Spring break technically started a half hour ago so I'm p hyped about that too.

Skin looked like a lighter caramel-shade, really attractive face with a wide range of expressions, hair is kinda Beyonce-hair-color and the body is rather skinny/fit but the most important part has some meat to it, and she is petite; she wore something that exposed her left shoulder, felt like the 90s but man I like the 90s so that's cool with me.

All I thought about is how much I'd have to pay someone to rush over and fix it Monday. Then I did it myself. :pimp
I'd be too scared of missing some crucial thing and blowing myself up later. Would definitely call some kind of expert.

Just witnessed an Office Space moment brehs. There's a guy at work who is about 57 years old, real good guy but kind of eccentric. For the last couple years he always talked about how he was taking classes for driving a truck. I had kind of dismissed this as water cooler shit since he has a really good job, but today he walked out of a meeting with management and said he he's retiring. They offered him a promotion but he said nah, I'd rather drive a truck than be in an office for another year.much easier to be a prostitute serial killer when your job sends you cross country on the regular :hitler
:whoo
He has everything lined up and will be driving a truck locally before doing out of state trips in a few months. Gotta give this man dap, no matter what question we asked him ("but you could be making way more money, what about health care, what about blah blah blah" he kept say "yea...but you don't understand. I really want to drive a fucking truck."
:win
In my experience the post always goes through the first time with that error, so best just to reload the page.
Anyway, whatcha get?
Space trucking would be my dream job. Right after lighthouse keeper. Automation dashes both dreams though.
being a trucker is a huge L unless you're super into coke, prostitutes, and talk radio. and the occasional vehicular manslaughter on dark country highways.tfw you picked the wrong career field :fbm

I hope I can swim that well someday. I haven't gotten down how to breathe properly while swimming yet, so I run out of air too quick. I've been trying to practice getting better at this on my own the past 2 weeks. Really wish I learned all this shit as a kid.
@Tasty :clap
Doubt I could swim that well (at least now) and I was a lifeguard for 6+ summers.
Good form and technique makes swimming a lot easier (less exertion required/more effective strokes :teehee), but nevertheless it's great exercise.
Use to see tons of older folks wake up every morning for some lap swimming at the Y. It's a skill you can ideally work on all your life. I'm sure you will continue to improve with time, Beezy.
Trying to deflab myself. Drinking only water + Mio. Got a Brita for my mini fridge.
Living indefinitely in dorm/school mode :larry
What changed for me is that I was breathing totally wrong, as in I'd exhale, take three strokes, inhale, take three strokes, repeat. That builds up CO2 hella fast and I could never do even two laps without stopping and panting for breath. Once I learned you're supposed to exhale as soon as your face goes back in the water everything changed.

Crazy to think you were doing it the other way. Couldn't have felt natural
TBH it kinda did. My thinking was that the longer I held out in between inhaling and exhaling the longer breaths I could take. It's also important for me to note that even when I switched to the correct way, I didn't feel the effects immediately. Took a couple days for it to kick in, but when it did... felt like I could fly in comparison.
Are you just doing freestyle? When I feel like I can't do another lap, I mix in some breast strokes to keep moving and recover a bit

It's impossible to say without knowing a lot more about your tax treatment, but consider the following:
4,000 * .10 = 400 (penalty)
4,000 * .25 = 1,000 (income tax)
So worst case scenario, 1,400 of extra tax for earning no income.

I had a widow's peak and loved it. Now I have a perfectly lined hairline, except it's a vertically aligned equator with endpoints on either ear. :'(
My hairline has been consistent for about five years after receding noticeably from 2007-2009. Finasteride :lawd
I tried Rogaine for about a year, but it had little to no effect. I kept thinning in spite of it. The switch to Propecia was a great decision in retrospect.

If I may pry, what is the monthly cost? Also, was there any growth or just a maintain?
The doctor wrote me a year prescription last time around, and it was really cheap. No more than a couple of bucks a month.

Someone drew manga while drunk a few weeks ago and it ended up on our refrigerator instead of the trash because none of us have anything to put on a refrigerator as we're the lost and the damned and there are some people from Japan couch surfing in the living room atm and I caught them gawking at the manga and taking photos of it on their phones (presumably to post on social media) and we embarrassedly said HELLO HELLO to each other when they noticed me looking at them looking at the manga.

Good Jarritos choice.
30 year vet at the firm quit in a blaze of glory today. TLDR he had some team related problems on a big project that resulted in him throwing a fit. He was basically informed he'd have to enter an anger management program to keep his job, which resulted in him uttering a line that already has reached lore status here: "you can't put me in a fucking box, the door is right behind me. I'm outta here!"

Few things are more important than a good barber or barber shop. I've had the same one for almost a decade, and he's the mentor of my former barber (if you guys remember: the pyramid scheme guy lol). If you can find an older guy to cut your hair do it. Older barbers do exactly what you want, they know what works, they aren't rushing to go meet their girl, and they drop gems. Lots of bullshit misogynist shit too but still...
One of my FWBs cuts my hair. Afterwards we sex. It's great.

I was thinking of doing the same in a few years. The process is basically the same as a crown right? They saw the tooth down a little then slap some white shit on top.

I've considered porcelain veneers before but I backed off when I heard they lasted around 15 years. I suppose it isn't a big deal to get them replaced but for $1,000+ a tooth, it seems like a lot. As for now, every quarter I do a week of dentist prescribed whiteners. Seems to work for now.

You have to use them every quarter week or the original color returns? What's the name of the product.
Try Sheer White strips. Dunno if the ones on Amazon are as strong as the ones used at dental offices though. They come with 5 strips and last 36mo. You put them on your teeth and leave it on for a few hours. You won't need to constantly use them every month, hence them lasting so long, unless you want some clown ass white teeth.

For years I have been freaked out by the idea that hair could get behind your eyeball and form hair mats and one day you'd pull at a little hair and entire mat would come with it or that you'd die and your eyes would rot away leaving little hair mats in your eye sockets only to be found by treasure seekers who come searching for your gold. Today I faced my fear and googled it and apparently it is impossible.

Probably going to spend a lot less time on the internet, probably not going to Bore con. If atramental still wants a hooker, I can try to find a way to get the money there.
I'm planning on using my vacation days this year to put a huge dent in assembling my portfolio, polishing up my resume, and doing whatever it takes to get out of this soul crushing tar pit of a job I'm currently stuck in.

Borecon better not just be me getting Andrex drunk afI might go, you can jerk me off as long as we don't make eye contact.spoiler (click to show/hide):larry[close]

Vegas ain't that expensive, you could totally scrape it together if you wanted :ufup
Hope the Japanese don't come back
I found the US streaming Amazon Video App to be shittacular. The IQ on my X1 app is also awful. I thought netflix's library was padded with shit, but Amazon is on a whole different level. The movie section is has MST3K tier crap everywhere.
My lab is getting one of these (for free)

This election cycle really contributed a lot to me mentally checking out at any mention of Bernie, Hillary, Trump, Cruz, GOP, Congress, etc.
It probably always was this bad, but I've definitely started losing interest faster this go around.

Pretty lucky, I am.
White people come with a +5 "luck" stat. :doge
Those only matter in the early game though.Weak in the early game, bogus progression table, but in the later levels nearly all-powerful?
Finally ended my horrific two month long post-heartbreak cold streak with a random. She got the job done, but tbh this wasn't one of my prouder conquests. From what I recall (which is not much), she did drop the n-word multiple times in front of a black dude at the bar, saying it was ok because she had a half black child. It wasn't with a hard r at least. Pretty sure I took off my condom at some point in the night because I'm a disgusting piece of shit so hopefully I didn't nut at all or else she might end up with an all white baby to go with the half black one. But anyways, now I can mention this to a few mutual friends of the girl who hurt me so that hopefully the news will get back to her and make her feel bad. :):dead

Honestly, I think fatherhood would be good for you.
You were right and I deserve it so no worries. ;)
This is how I see them.
thisismyusername: sassy and intelligent, gay and opinionated, faces accusations of being "racist" but BBC isn't for everyone, seems proficient in coding and all that mainframe computer shit.
StealthFan: another bro rekt by mental illness, once a slick willy in the pussy game but now prediabetic from his prescribed atypical antipsychotics, shamed for saying questionable things but chalk it up to his beautiful mind.
That said, he will rise again, stabilize, lose the weight, reenter the workforce, and still get laid more than Atra. No more Wii U's, no more NEET bux. Instead, his reemergence will usher in a new era of dank memes.
King of the Internet: self-deprecating yet unabashed, depressed and self-medicating, fingerbangs mad chicks while lookin like Bale in the Machinist, at peace with his degeneracy, though I'm not convinced he's actually a bad person or as bad as he portrays himself to be.
TL;DR (AiA edit): Just a bunch of cacs.
I made a stock investment earlier this year that has so far had a 31% return. KEEP GOING BABY
I bought shares when they were low in late Jan/early Feb and the stock market has come back since mid March. Just got lucky and timed it right. Either way, I'm holding on long term but it still feels good!
Last December I had it out with my executive management over a proposal for a client where I was saying "They're going to run into this issue and the project will fail. We need to tell them to budget way more than they're expecting."
It quickly turned into a shitfest because they were like "Prove that this is an issue!" and I was like "I can't prove an issue that hasn't happened yet!"
In the end it was my proposal so I went with the whole "You're going to run into this issue. You need to budget double what you've got now."
Client was like "None of your other competitors are even talking about this and they're bigger than you are. You don't know what you're talking about" they essentially shut us out and wouldn't even talk to us or reply to emails and we lost the deal to one of those competitors. I took a huge capital L with my executive team.
Today I get an meeting invite from our CEO for a call with this client. I had two meetings at the same time and I was like "Nuh-uh, I'm not spending any more time on a call with this client getting beat up." So I excused myself went to the other meeting. Afterwards, I get a call from the big boss. Guess who is having issues? And now has a failed project that's now cost them more than double their initial budget because they didn't build for this issue I predicted?
Apparently the client came back saying that they should have listened and want us to come in and help them fix their project.
:jawalrus
Of course, now most of their budget has been spent and I have to deal with these idiots again
:brazilcry
I really don't understand that. In interviews you always need to figure out who's selling. Either the candidate is selling themselves to the company or at times the company needs to sell itself to the candidate. I mean if you said yes to the job, I as an employer would be worried that you were either too dumb or too desparate for a job. If you were too dumb I wouldn't want you. If you were too desperate then you'll leave at the first opportunity. In short:

Desperate is good. It means I get to put away my normal offer folder and reach for the 25% discount folder with no dental :lawd
Girl came crying back to me and I said no.
Feels good.
Got rid of all my consoles except the PS4 and that's only due to Amazon Video and Netflix.
I did the math, how much I get paid at work (aka how much is my time worth), how many minutes it would take to erase all my information, box it up, sell it to someone, and the resell value on consoles and realized I was better off just throwing them in the garbage instead. So I did.
I want to get rid of my PS4 as well but no good solution exists with my TV. Might get an Apple TV instead and then I can throw out my PS4.
I haven't felt the urge to play a game since I sold everything off a few weeks ago. Feels good man

Hope your sis remained neutral while mediating this. And if you did her in millennial style she better have felt anger in that End Call click.
GJ though. Cuttin ties is a hard thing to do period. The intertwined clusterfuck of social media only makes things worse.
If you gonna do it though, best to outright digitally murder them, mourn the loss and move on with your sanity.
Sis is staying out of it, she's on my side. My sis rules and has always been there for me. Even if she's good friends with my ex.
I don't hate the girl, she has a lot of issues I'm sympathetic towards but ultimately I stayed in longer than I should have. Told her we can probably be friends again, but only after she does some growing up.
I feel free, brehs. No pussy for a while but it's the way it gotta be. Applied for a green card and I'll be moving out to the states again by December if things work out. Till then? Dry dick city. Whattup, Pallando!

Went to The Alamo Drafthouse for the first time in about 2 years last night and accidentally left without paying for my food. I only realized this morning, so I called to see if I could pay over the phone since I remembered everything that I ordered. The manager I spoke to said he appreciates the call, but they can no longer accept payment for anything from yesterday. He didn't sound like he cared at all. Saved me about $60. :myniccaI thought you did good yesterday. My wife needed some professional printed shit for school so we went to office depot. They were able to print about half before their printer fucked up. After about 30 minutes of waiting I said I'll just pay for what's printed and leave. The guy told me not to worry about it and we left.

This week's been lit :lawd
Whut, you had one too? How did I miss this?Yes, I went out with a few coworkers and had some drinks. I don't drink much, more of a social drinker and I'm not a big guy. So I'm a lightweight. I had 3 beers and that's enough to get my loose.
Well, I get an email from a friend I made while I was there. Guess who was fired today for downloading several gigs of big tit lesbian, BBC and BDSM porn on the company network? :hitler
Starting to slim down.Heavy cream is good too
Also, going to start putting coconut/mct oil in my coffee again. That seems to help me a lot with my carb cravings.

So that modafinil wore off after about 6 hours. I had heard it was an all day thing. Not for me. I actually kind of crashed a bit and had to get a strong coffee to finish out the day. Still, I'd give it an A+ for the time it worked.
Pulled a Pam from The Office and invented a position for myself after a leadership shuffle. No pay change, but it's a resume padder and something I'm interested in.

I've had some great ideas for short stories the past few days, the best coming this morning. I'd like to write and collect them and incorporate hidden sigil magick within them so that hundreds of millions of people will be forced to suffer when they are read. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for your responses. I'm feeling better about things now. They seem like a respectable company. They're multinational, based outside of the US, and have thousands of employees. I had never heard of them until about three weeks ago. The work they do isn't all that sexy so you don't really see articles about them.If they're a big, well-known company, commonly HR will be the slowest of their corporate appendages. Especially if they feel like they hold the advantage.
I'm gonna try to relax a little bit. The past year has been super busy.
Got the offer email. There was a strange complication keeping them from sending it, but they sorted things out today.(http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view/187757/exploding-high-five-o.gif)

The 22 year long wind up to adulthood is finally over. First gen immigrant. Dark skinned black. Had so many chances to fuck up. I've seen it happen to family and a bunch of people in my neighborhood. The high school and college dropouts, criminal records, lives tragically cut short, unplanned pregnancies and a ton of other crap. The job is in the midwest. I'm moving out ASAP and plan on visiting rarely.
I'm in a public library right now so I'll wait until I'm home to fill out the paperwork. Oh boy, I'm shaking again.

I fucking hate JASRAC, the Japanese version of the RIAA. They have a stranglehold on music in general in Japan and NO-ONE has reasonable streaming options. Pandora, YouTube Music, Spotify, even Last.fm are all region blocked.They seem worse than their German equivalent.

Some guy is going to make a movie out of my short film screenplay about a contract killer trying to win back his girlfriends with the unwanted help of his multiple personalities. And I found out that I placed in the top 20% of of the Nicholl Fellowship with a different script. No where near high enough to become a quarterfinalist, but it's nice to know it got that high.
No payday yet, but it opens a door for me.

And I found out that I placed in the top 20% of of the Nicholl Fellowship with a different script. No where near high enough to become a quarterfinalist, but it's nice to know it got that high.:rejoice
No payday yet, but it opens a door for me.
Ah shoot. Good nonetheless. Screenwirting is worst than the Hunger Games, having a script picked up by an outsider is always nice.

I had some political shit slinger throwing shit about a deliverable saying that something wasn't in it that was supposed to be but it's on like every paragraph and is frankly impossible to miss. I get called into client's office with this shit slinger and the client is like,
"I'm worried about this deliverable based on what shit slinger here has to say. It seems its missing this important element"
I was like, "Did you actually look at the deliverable? Here it is. See how from the first page you can see what shit slinger is saying isn't true?"
client looks at the deliverable and nods, "Yeah"
I continued, "It's all over the document. Nearly every paragraph of every page. I mean any idiot that can read can see it's in there."
I look at shit slinger who is starting to blush and add, "Well, apparently not ANY idiot." :hitler

2 month project to reorganize his Outlook folder structure
Dude has folders within folders within folders with entire projects dedicated to over a dozen folders, archives going back over a decade, and then you only have 15 minutes every week or two to discuss what he wants and then have to follow up and find out he actually has changed his mind. I finished the work a few weeks ago but it took another 3 weeks for him to respond and confirm and sign off.
So it wasn't literally 2 months of work. It just took 2 months before we could sign off on it.

I got a cat about a week ago, and she has completely stolen my heart. Her name is Steve (I didn't name her but I like it now), and she's a fucking weirdo in all of the best ways. She snores, she herds, she is considerably less graceful than most cats to hilarious effect. She's also super sweet and seems to like me (was told she didn't like to be picked up, but she lets me carry her around as long as she isn't belly up, and she doesn't claw the shit out of me when she wants to get down) so that is definitely ingratiating.Klutzy, silly cats are aweome. Our 15 year old kitty Spock has no front claws, almost no teeth, doesn't run or jump much anymore (and wasn't great at either when she did), snores in my ear when sleeping at night, and has developed a bit of a drooling problem but she's always ready to cuddle or play or lay on the back porch on nice evenings. Goofy cats are the best

Thanks to a reddit thread, I finally understand the intuition on why the monty hall problem works. It turns out its pretty obvious.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem
Ya same, I always understood the math just not the reasoning, which is this:
if Monty knows where the goats and the prizes will be and you switch:
1) If you picked a goat on your first pick, then he will rule out the remaining goat for you.
2) If you didn't pick a goat at the start then he doesn't give you any helpful info.
This means that what you want to do is pick a goat door at the start and NOT the prize, which you have 2/3 chance of doing. Basically his knowledge lets you reverse the probability on your first choice.

Over the past two weeks (almost entirely on the weekends) I've been working on an app idea I think is really cool and picking up an entirely new skill (React Native) in the process. I haven't felt this excited to work on a side project in years, and I haven't had so much fun developing a mobile app ever. My hope is eventually it could net me some side cash, though I also have grand dreams of it catching on and becoming a viral hit. :tophat
There's nothing new under the sun, but I think the mashup of these two ideas could be really compelling and fun. Lots of potential here. I actually had the idea five years ago but figured "Someone else will do it anyways, so why try." Well as far as I can tell that didn't become the case. :lol
Unfortunately an app isn't just an app - I'm going to have to code the backend/API too, which will require the requisite services, database, authentication, infrastructure, etc. It's pretty barebones from that standpoint but even "barebones" apps these days need a lot of bootstrap and boilerplate to make something functional. I can do it, but it's not really where my interest is.
My challenge now is to not let this boring stuff slow me down. As always with projects like this, the passion is there at the start but it dwindles to the point I usually give up or sideline it "for a bit" which turns indefinite. Hopefully in a few months I'll return* to sluttily hawk this shit when it hits the app stores. :D

Applied for two jobs. One I may have no chance of getting, the other is 50/50 and would get me out of the company that I'm currently working for. I hate Cover Letters and writing resumes. I always feel so dumb doing those. "I have no skills and would like to get out of retail-hell. Please hire me, maybe?" :doge
This is a "triumph" for me as I look at job offerings go "maybe I could do that" then suddenly go "nah, they wouldn't consider me" and bin the application.

Interview Thursday to get me out of the place I've been for a decade(http://i.imgur.com/9iqqVWL.jpg)
It was Friday, but I candyflipped for Radiohead at Coachella. It wasn't really intentional - I had started in the afternoon with an LSD tab and thought that was mostly over a couple hours later, so right before they started I took a molly I had. Turns out LSD has ebbs and flows and I was just in an ebb, and before I knew it both substances were hitting hard. Peaked on both around when they played Reckoner. One of the best music experiences of my life.

Road fatalities per 100000 inhabitantsIf you guys owned more cars and drove more you'd be able to catch up
USA - 10.6
Denmark - 3.5
Don't forget how the US lets people drive when they're 16, and you need to be 18 in Denmark. I know 2 years doesn't sound like much, but it is a lot of time when you're below 20. Plus public transportation is probably better in Denmark, so less people drive regardless, especially teenagers/people still in school.Road fatalities per 100000 inhabitantsIf you guys owned more cars and drove more you'd be able to catch up

I'll do you one better: I'll avoid you completely. Don't PM me again.
What an odd response. I make a civil request and you reply with a pretty disturbing level of hostility.
Fine. All the best.
The only odd part is that you've disregarded my simple request to not PM me again.
No, fuck off.
You harass someone unprovoked, get a polite request to stop, and then you posture as if you're the one being harassed?
You've always been a self-righteous piece of shit, so whatever.
Don't reply to this one and you won't get another PM.
You're not harassed, you're harassing me by specifically ignoring a simple request. You can't stand being ignored, or not having things on your terms. I used no foul language or disrespect. You asked for a consideration you were not due, while trying to deceive the board.
You can show me you're not a self-centered, transgressive, dishonest and judgmental cur by actually respecting my desire that you not interact with me again.
Fuck. OFF.
You talk about what considerations people are due while insisting you showed no disrespect. What a joke. Your self-righteousness knows no limits.

I made some pasta via an ad hoc "recipe" I "invented" by mixing together random amounts of a bunch of random ingredients and it turned out pretty good.

Had a shit-ton of Unity/Maya work drop on me yesterday during a two-hour meeting, which I dutifully plowed through for the next 10 hours, and will spend most of the next three days working on.
It's an internal struggle, but whenever I get stumped on something frustrating, I have been successfully remembering how much more I know than a week ago, a month ago, a year ago.
so they do use maya in game dev? not 3ds max? thought that was the case but im curious
I meant in general, I'm not really looking for a specific course. I'm guessing the best way might just be a book and video?I personally find it much easier to learn when there are assignments to complete. I can't think of any skill that I've gained from only reading a book. If there aren't assignments then I usually create a hobby project for it.
What's better to learn this type of software by the way? Books or video tutorials? I always thought books were better but now I'm not so sure.
There is a pretty good Blender course on Udemy that will help you go through the basics. They also have a course in how to automate 3D modeling using Python.

Oh that's neat. Danish is the most difficult Scandinavian language!That's pretty cool! Better late than never, huh. I don't see myself ever wanting to drive, especially not in Tokyo. Kinda frightening.

cause i live there now :)

Yeah. It's busy, for sure. But despite being crowded, drivers are very polite and consistent.
Unless you are frequently traveling to difficult to reach destinations, there is absolutely no reason to own a car in Japan. Buses are slightly less convenient, but the number of trains in your area is probably second to none worldwide.
Im in my early 30s, never needed a car before but now I do (living in Jylland..) Moment i took my first lesson i was like shiiit should have done this a decade ago. Ive had a motorbike a few years back but a car is just more practical with a family.
Anyhoo time commitment is not that bad? If I can do it with a family and a full time job so can you 👊🏻
Now back to Danish Language school though :'(

finally managed to get replacement ear pads + cushion for my sennheiser hd598Why not just order through Amazon?
it's a great headphone but the build quality leaves much to be desired
it's good as new now though :whew
That shit is nasty. But at least less nasty than smoking. Also I've never seen it here in Japan.Brob has company now. :uguu
Which one will buy me snus?
gilhaney snubbing beer invite :'(
One of my neighbors was a huge dip guy, and he kept a coffee can out on his porch to spit into. Seemed kinda gross.No doubt for some fuck-awful prank. The colour would end up similar to coffee, no?
I chew nicotine gum and am pretty much addicted to that. I only seem to smoke at music festivals now.Chewing tobacco and snus are VERY different. And snus always comes with a tiny pocket (usually on the lid) to put the old one in when you're done. You change it up when it starts "leaking" liquid from being too wet. It's pretty great actually, because since I went to high school, most teens no longer smoke. They just use snus instead. It's a bit gross when people dump them on the ground, but that's still better than seeing cigs everywhere imo.
The only time I tried chewing tobacco I actually threw up. I guess I took too much. Never tried snus. If you don't have to spit, that's a huge plus. One of my neighbors was a huge dip guy, and he kept a coffee can out on his porch to spit into. Seemed kinda gross.

Back in PoliGAF I thought you already had an advanced degree for some reason. I must have been thinking of Chichikov.
That's amazing. Did you get to talk to him at all?
My triumph is very minor in comparison. I slept like 11 hours last night, and it was awesome. I don't want to make a habit of going to bed at 9, but I can see why people do it.
Got rid of my old car for a new one. Old car ran great but had 156,000 miles, was 10 years old, and I always had a sneaking suspicion that it would shit the bed at the worst possible moment. This is the first new car I've ever owned.

My boss at work let me know that I've been doing really well at my job (it's been nearly 2 months) and I'm off to a great start. He said if it were up to him, he'd give me a raise right away but unfortunately he can't. Still, pretty cool. I'm actually pretty happy at my job so far, nice people, interesting work, it's cool working for a large company that's a household name, and of course all the Japanese influence speaks to my inner weeaboo.
a website put my track in their tracks of the week playlist so thats cool (https://www.londoninstereo.com/listening-now-june-12th/) also did an interview earlier with a website i used to write for ages ago where I just navel gazed. T'was cool.

I love riding, started on 50cc dirtbikes when I was 8 years old, all offroad in the desert. Rode up to 750cc, but my love is for 500s. So much fun.
But as a dad there's no way I want to risk my life like that these days.
Friend of mine who worked game audio development was riding near his home in Sausalito. Some idiot in an SUV backed out of their driveway, didn't see him. Three weeks in a coma, followed by death.
Last time I looked, something like 40% of injury accidents with a motorcycle involved, the rider was not at fault.
Sorry to be a downer. Hope you'll ride safely. Take classes, if you haven't already.
Thanks to the power of RSS and Firebase, I should have a working version of this tomorrow:

And I only started coding it Saturday afternoon.
Pretty cool shit, especially being able to skip between places in the track without buffering. The desktop browser version is muah
on mobile (safari iOS 10.3.2) it doesn't autoplay the next song, after the currently playing track ends it loads the next one and then you have to click play
and also it would be cool if clicking the artist/song opened a new tab instead of directing to the url so I can still listen to the song while looking at their artist page
i can't get some ez likes :'(
i also code but it doesn't run in the browser so i can't show it off so i can't get some ez likes for it :'(
but at least it's proper programming and not javascript :ufup

My mother's aunt, with whom I'm not directly connected on Facebook, and who does drive-by responses every time I post something critical of Trump, sent me a Friend request on FB yesterday.
As Walrus has attested, my self-righteousness can be a little overwhelming, and I thought, "Oh ho-ho, no, Ma'am. We are not friends."
This morning I had a new friend request waiting from someone else, and I noticed her invitation had been rescinded. It wasn't there. I'm trying to figure out if she actually meant to send the original and realized her error, but realizing their own error is not the province of many Trump supporters.

I found a copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy vinyl at the used bookstore. It's a re-recording of the first 4 episodes of the radio series, with some cuts/tweaking made by Douglas Adams to tighten it up. (It's arguably the best version of the series) It's not super rare, but I've never seen one in the wild before and H2G2 is basically my favorite media property ever, so finding it made me happy.

I've lost nearly 100 pounds since April... was so damn hungry I ate at Burger King and Jack in the Box by choice without guilt because I got my ass working out and destroyed that shit when I got home. Ended up going an extra hour into my routine and burned enough to take tomorrow off. I hate days where I'm driving because really there is nothing but shit food on the road. Sadly I have lost 2 inches in height this year, which is a strange side effect.
I've got a long way more to go, but this was a triumph for me. I'm almost nearing being under 300 pounds for the first time in my adult life. I barely remember being a smaller person or in my 200's. I just ballooned and stayed that way for so long. Another positive to all of this is I got the missus to join me on my journey. We went shopping today in an actual store for both of us. :'(

I'm also jealous of the natural light standards in Denmark. Coworkers from there always talk about it when they come to our officeLike, what? USA offices are too dark? Or use of fluorescents?
Fluorescents. My old office was built in the late 70's. I was hundreds of feet from the nearest outside light. Before that i also worked in a basement.

Question! Will you keep talking to your kid in Japanese? It'd be a shame if she mostly forgot her native language, like I did. :dogeDunno yet! I've been talking to her mainly in Norwegian all along but she seems to understand both just fine (she usually answers in Japanese). It's gonna be really tough to keep up the Japanese here, especially since we need to focus on her Norwegian right now so she can be understood more easily when starting kindergarten. And she'll be learning more English eventually as well in school. It would be neat, but unfortunately not a very high priority.
Priorities, bro. I'm not gonna force my 2 year old to be able to speak 4 different languages. All in its time.
Edit: This is a weird page. Someone else please talk about their ancestry too. :doge
Yeah, don't worry about overload. "Use it or lose it" however is true, sadly.Priorities, bro. I'm not gonna force my 2 year old to be able to speak 4 different languages. All in its time.
She's 2. Her brain is like a sponge. Just drop japanese :p
Ya, the next few years will be very important for the kid to become a fluent speaker in multiple languages and even then he/she will need a peer group which also uses the language.D-do you wanna talk about it?
You should force your 2 year old to learn multiple languages and find mothers who also enjoy forcing their 2 yearolds to learn multiple languages. Also find a mother that beats their kid so that your kid will be all like 'my mom is really good, she doesn't beat me or nothing' in multiple languages. Languages > mental health of children, fact.
The sound was actually pitched lower? Weird.Yeah it was bizarre, and the artifacting in the 'lower' sound that was playing back made me think I had somehow routed it through a pitch effect via soundflower. I thought it had to do with the bitrates (eg how if you play something recorded at 44.1khz and play it with the playback rate at 88.2 it changes an octave) but IIRC adjusting the buffer size was what actually solved it. Looking back though I think I might have had the recording rate set to 44.1 and the playback to 48 or vice versa
All this mansplaining on how to be a mother. I'm literally shaking right now.

Ya, the next few years will be very important for the kid to become a fluent speaker in multiple languages and even then he/she will need a peer group which also uses the language.D-do you wanna talk about it?
You should force your 2 year old to learn multiple languages and find mothers who also enjoy forcing their 2 yearolds to learn multiple languages. Also find a mother that beats their kid so that your kid will be all like 'my mom is really good, she doesn't beat me or nothing' in multiple languages. Languages > mental health of children, fact.
Not Greek? For shame.Ya, the next few years will be very important for the kid to become a fluent speaker in multiple languages and even then he/she will need a peer group which also uses the language.D-do you wanna talk about it?

Got 3 hairline fractures in my hand, and severe ligament and tendon damage in my hand which already had RSI in it. Why is this a triumph? Because I get to scale back work and travel for a bit, and actually be home for a bit.
Realizing that breaking your hand is a triumph because you get to finally work like a normal person :goty

You're going from computer programming to journalism?
Truly a man of many talents.
After five years at my current company, I've verbally accepted an offer to join a prestigious Boston journalism outfit at $20k more a year than I'm currently making now. :preach
I was so fucking nervous during my interview (literally my first in five years) but found my groove early on and apparently nailed it.
The wage increase basically puts me at where I should have been for the past couple years, and also makes it possible for me to continue living in Boston (I was strongly considering a move to Providence, which would immediately cut my rent in half.) Things have gotten crazy in this city, man.
I'm excited, overjoyed, nervous, slightly sad and a little guilty. I love my current place, but not only is 5 years a long time in this industry but three of my favorite people here have put in their notices in the last two weeks. And we refuse to hire people. IMO, the writing is somewhat on the wall. Anything can happen though.
I'm going to tell them about my offer and see what happens, but it would take a lot to get me to stay. Part of me does want to see what happens on a sinking ship though - could be fun (it's certainly been fun lately.) But with all my friends departing, and the chance to be apart of a mission statement I really believe in... Probably time to go.
So I'm stuck living at my mom's for a while until I get all the legal stuff out of the way, and I've been cooking for everyone almost every day this week. It's really nice to make food for people who actually like and appreciate it. Also it's much more enjoyable to cook western food again.
:delicious

I feel like I've asked this before, but what's your tech stack?
Don't feel guilty though, the people made the gig what it was and when they're gone the veil really comes down.
Is there anything you miss from back there food wise?Western food? I've missed pretty much everything. :lol

I can send you some Maruchan or Top Ramen packets. Let me know.Instant noodles aren't the same! Still good though, and we have those I think? So no worries. But thank you~ Gotta go check out that one and only Asian import shop in town. I think they're selling chocolate pocky for the local weebs. :lol
Is there anything you miss from back there food wise?Western food? I've missed pretty much everything. :lol
Import food in Japan is quite expensive, and usually it isn't the same at all. Like drinking Pepsi when you wanted Coke.
I'm gonna miss a few things from Japan though.. like Japanese curry. But I could cook that at home if I find any ingredients at the local Asian shop.
I think I would have a hard time going without access to copious amounts of cheese
I feel like I've asked this before, but what's your tech stack?
Don't feel guilty though, the people made the gig what it was and when they're gone the veil really comes down.
PHP 5 (2 major versions out of date)
Grails 2 (1 major version out of date)
Various other things but that's mostly it. We just deleted a huge helping of shitty old code, so that was nice to see. The tech is pretty impressive in a few ways and really bad in a lot of other ways. But that's more or less the same everywhere, I think. New features get new clients. Deleting code doesn't.
And yeah, I feel the veil's been slowly slipping for about a year. September 2016 is when the golden era ended IMO with regards to the people I really liked. Then in the last month like four key people who I really liked have left.

Sold my ethereum for bitcoin during today's bitcoin dip and made an additional $100 on my initial investment. :rejoiceare you mining too or just holding currencies
And bitcoin is very bullish lately (and ether is rather bearish which is like catching falling knives. :doge) so I can easily see myself making a couple hundred USD this weekend. :success
Holding and day trading USD & Bitcoin exclusively (for now).
I'm waiting for another large deposit from one of my bank accounts before I seriously spread out into altcoins.
Mining seems like a giant pain in the ass.
edit: Also, one of my goals with crypto is to make the equivalent of my bi-weekly salary at my day job each week. If I can do that I might end up working part time there or... leave potentially. :doge

How much time do you invest in this stuff? I suppose any fool can start trading and be lucky but even tho I have absolutely no fucking clue about any of this, I guess you've got to do at least some research to stand your ground.
Good luck anyway. Tho I hope you weren't serious about ditching your job for this :doge
Not a ton of time. After an hour has passed I look for "buy and sell signals" on this chart.

You need expertise if you're buying anything other than the major cryptos or if you're taking a stab at any ICOs.

That being said, I'm extremely bullish on crypto, ethereum specifically (nothing against bitcoin though).Holding and day trading USD & Bitcoin exclusively (for now).

Cryptocurrency is so volatile you don't really need any expertise to make money. When it's down you buy, when it's up you sell.. (or sit on it hoping it keeps going up)
Booked roundtrip tickets to Taipei for 548 CAD. Anyone ever been? Kinda just jumped on the deal without thinking about what I'd want to do there haha.
Today after work its friday bar, then after that I go to the pub with some colleagues, then I get on a flight to London to meet up with friends and see the Arsenal and grab some pints. Then flying back on sunday morning to be with girls again.
What a weekend lads.
was sharing my recital set list with a few guitar friends and one guy new to the group was like "LOL yeah right like you can play all that."
The group went sorta quiet and was like, "Yes. Yes he can."
Having guitar bros that have faith in your ability :jawalrus
I just played my guitar for the first time in months.Way to go man. I injured my hand and tried to pick it up 2 weeks ago. That was a big mistake, my hand hurt for 3 days after. Of course, instead of trying to ease back into things I started by trying to play some Albeniz and a bach cello partita. Probably not the best idea. But man, it was fun.
:stahp
Losing chops is the worst. Like maybe you haven't had time to practice for awhile, you pick up your guitar like "I'm going to play this riff/solo," and nope, mistakes everywhere, and your fingers seem incapable of getting to the right notes in time.
That always lasts at least a couple days if I have a serious lapse in practice.
Okay so I wanted to post this almost a week ago. I didn't want any false alarms like before so this time I waited, but I've finally become less depressed. Past few months have been hell.
I'm eating better, actually brushing my teeth again, interest in things is back to the way it used to be. I was gonna post this in the WoW thread but because I'm less depressed I don't feel the need to escape with WoW anymore so I'm done with that. Although I'll keep it installed because lol private server no monthly fee.
I've also learned some more things about myself so I can make sure such a regression won't happen again. Hopefully from here on out things will stay steady like this and maybe even improve.
And also, I always wondered whether depression had an effect on my posting quality. I thought it didn't matter. But my like streak started a few days ago. Not a coincidence! :rock
Met some childhood/high school friends. One I haven't seen in 10 years, the other I haven't seen in.. 6-7 years. It was fun, they were really nice just like before. Also they all looked the same as before, hopefully they don't think I look like an aged hag or something, that's one of my fears. :lolHere's the thing about aging. It is happening to them too. They're probably as worried about looking like an old hag as you are.

Met an old friend at the store, and it was one of those "Let's hang out one day" kinda things where you just say it but never intend. But when I got home, I actually messaged her to ask if she wanted to meet on Friday at a local cafe, and she said yes. So we're gonna meet tomorrow.Rekindling past romantic and sexual relationships is always a triumph.
I don't know if this is a minor convenience or a triumph. :lol

Huge relief and weight off my shoulders. Had trouble sleeping and dealing with it. Also my wife’s OB found some irregularities in the fetal heart during an ultrasound Tuesday so we went to Boston children’s hospital yesterday, met with a specialist, did another look and it turned out to be nothing. Which is also a good thing this week, I suppose.

Not JavaScript, that's for sure. :holeupGonna tell you this only once to make sure you don't fall into this hole. Don't have any deeply held opinions about technology, especially considering you just started out and barely know what you're talking about. Especially don't become some kind of LISP evangelist just because you read an Erik Naggum rant or Paul Graham essay on the internet. Don't form bad habits early. Be open minded. It's really funny that you'd take a shit all over Javascript despite having like 1 day worth of programming experience even though learning web development could actually land you a job and absolutely no one will ever hire you for Scheme ever.

gawd... ive been working on my space invaders game and finally finished how things should move

still a triumph tho :yeshrug especially since i'm not using javascript
i wanna move on to adding, you know, enemies and shit, so it turns into an actual game, but ive been working through a book, i better continue with the book so i dont spend too much time doing a side project. i like to bounce back and forth especially since the book is supposed to teach me new concepts and shit
and i also haven't done that much seeing as how im still feeling sorta-kinda-maybe-depressed, but i guess its better than nothing :rock

By the time the xray had been done, and I had been waiting awhile, the potato had defrosted and I peeled it off and threw it in the bin. Whilst alone, the radiologist came rushing in, and almost burst into tears because the potato was gone, because it was so different. She ended up being the one asking me for consent for my xray to be published, so im pretty sure an "unusual cases" motif wouldnt be too far-fetched.
Maybe I'm misrembering, but didn't you say you moved uptown?
Got two my wisdom teeth out on Friday. After a few hours of soreness in my jaw and a night of sleeping sitting up, I'm pretty much completely pain-free. I'm legit surprised how little trouble it all was. It was an easier procedure than my root canal a few years back. Few minutes and it was all done and I'm good to go.
My dad's diabetic now and doesn't take his meds because "there's a low risk of sudden death [lol] and you can get the same results via diet and exercise". But he doesn't do the diet and exercise. So it's just all talk and an excuse for him to not manage his disease.I hate this. Might as well keep it secret. Screw the creeping dread routine.

Yeah, type 2 diabetes is very manageable, it's just a pain in the ass and most people choose to take metformin or other drugs to manage it. I did it all via diet and exercise. Mostly diet. I don't drink beer, eat sugary stuff, or eat any high carb anything anymore. Which sucks, because bread and potatoes are the best. BUT NO.

Metformin and acarbose are now considered to be possible anti-aging drugs which are ready for a clinical trial in the US.4 Researchers have already proven that the diabetes drug metformin extends the life span of animals,5 and the Food and Drug Administration in the US has now given a go for a trial to see if the same effects can be replicated in humans.

Beer sucks. It can be a nice hot day drink, but it’s far too ineffective as an alcohol delivery mechanism. I notice that most people I used to beer party with when younger have moved on to light beer, which is even more shameful. These people have forgotten the purpose of drinking.
Note that aside from heat, I’ll allow an exception for Belgian ales. Otherwise, beer is a drink for children and women.
Got summoned into the dean’s office yesterday. He told me my immediate superiors decided I’m eligible for a bonus of 1.000 € for outstanding performance and that he and the university’s HR department approved of it :leon
I’m puzzled frankly because I don’t really have a clue of why I earned this bonus. The dean didn’t go into details and just said I should speak with my immediate superiors about it. I think I mentioned here that I’m suffering from untreated ADHD, and that my performance at work suffered because of it, which is why I decided to seek treatment in the first place.
But therapy only started this summer and while things got better, I’ve still got a long way to go. So maybe I overestimated my issues at work. But then again, to alleviate my supposed performance issues I do a lot of work, particularly shit no one else wants to do, so maybe it’s that.
Anyway, it’s a nice surprise. Maybe I’ll stop being a cheapskate and just buy Watch Dogs 2 for 30 bucks instead of waiting until price drops to 20.

If you were younger, or better looking, or a woman I'd seriously consider signing you to make an album."
Talked to a producer friend and discussed the pieces I was going after, and he said, "I've always loved the way you played pieces, you always take an unexpected route. If you were younger, or better looking, or a woman I'd seriously consider signing you to make an album."
I know it sounds back-handed, but he and I know the industry. And another ordinary guy playing the same pieces everyone knows isn't gonna sell any new albums. But a back-handed compliment is still a compliment. I'll take it.

Fixed my water soaked phone by wrapping the SIM tray in thin paper and shoving it inside the slot a few times. Phone kept saying "No SIM" but this seemed to work, which was relieving since I had no rice, or money to buy a new phone. My rear camera also defogged itself the same day. I probably should rice it anyway but I think it'll be fine.

I play a lot of rainbow 6 and I just had two of the funniest games.
1) We are defending. Im Frost and im dead. Only Tachanka is left, hiding in a corner on his gun behind a shield. There are 3 attackers left. I down all 3 in 10 seconds with frost traps.
2) Match point. Its hostage. I'm Monty and Hab is the only one else alive on my team. There are four of them left. Hab opens a wall while I distract with smoke and hab grabs the hostage. I'm trying to block the getaway with my shield but get shot down. However, because the hostage is behind me they also kill him and we win.

212 days sober. Last week was nearly indomitable and yet... here I am.
Link to blog post?
- Antibiotics seem to be working really fast (yes, I'll continue taking them as adviced)
- Just applied to go back to school in August! I'm missing some basic subjects required to start a BA degree, but I'll be able to take them over the course of one school year. Downside is most of my classmates are gonna be hella younger and I'll feel out of place (but what else is new), although I need this done and I'm doing it to get a decent job so I can give my daughter a good and secure future. So I'll have to suck it in and embrace the temporary grandma role. :lol
I did the same thing with going to school with classmates a lot younger than me.
It was less bearable than I thought. :doge But it helped that I wasn't the only one.
I hadn't gone to school in 13 years when I started last year. It was kind of hilarious hearing some of the excuses these kids would give about why they missed class or a test. One even asked if he could get his mom to write a note to excuse his absence in which he missed a test.
What was depressing was seeing the other folks who were clearly past the regular school age and how their numbers would slowly dwindle over the semester as they dropped and gave up.
No updates?
I survived meeting both my ex (after 4 months) and my dad the same week. Ironically both are people I wish I could cut out, but can't because of my daughter. Also ironic (but a blessing) is that neither of them live in this country, so I don't have to see them again for many months.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYkACVDFmeg

This sounds like it could be a big help, someone to lean on.I don't need anyone to lean on, but I miss our friendship. She's a great person and we had a lot of fun. One of the reasons I looked forward to moving back home.

I'm nearly done with the Star Wars Episode I pinball. I have:Now this is pinball!
Replaced alll lights with LEDs
Rebuilt the flippers
Cleaned this... unknown glop from the playfield and even under the playfield. Seriously it was some dark sticky tar that was adhering to anywhere the balll was
Replaced the balls
Added playfield spotlights
Replaced the T molding on the outside trim
Removed the fluorescent light and replaced it with a USB LED strip
Replaced all playfield posts
Replaced all playfield and flipper rubber
Retuned the pop bumper switches to 1/16 of an inch to make them fire more consistently
Cleaned and repaired some side art damage
This game was what is called a reimport. 50% of Williams' business at the time was based on exporting the games to Europe. This particular game went to Norway. Where Williams messed up was exporting the game to countries that didn't have the movie playing yet and wouldn't be playing it for MONTHS. So, yes, the property was kinda bad, but people seriously had no idea who these characters were in a movie that was months away.
If you've never seen a Pinball 2000 game, it uses what's called a Pepper's Ghost illusion where a CRT monitor is mounted in the backbox and the image is reflected onto a mirrored playfield glass, giving the illusion that the playfield is changing and reacting to what is being displayed. It is a convincing illusion and makes the game very interactive.
Anyway when I picked it up the monitor image was awful. Greys were invisible and dark colors were muddy. I was convinced that I would have to replace it which is a little out of my league - I can work on pinball games but CRTs are explody bombs that can act like capacitors and can kill you if you touch the wrong part of the exposed innards.
As an example:
(http://i.imgur.com/QK8vQT9.jpg)
The green starburst should be bright and cover the playfield. Adding LED lights would just make it worse. I was able to adjust the gain from the neckboard of the CRT carefully and get the picture to be a lot better but at that point I had no where else to go with the picture:
(http://i.imgur.com/XPSaW0U.jpg)
It looks good but you can see through the image quite a bit and I had no more adjustments left. Any gain and I would get pink diagonal flyback lines across the screen from over volting the neck.
As it turns out, there is a design flaw from Williams that needs fixed - the voltage coming from the CGA video card is about 1/3 where it needs to be to give the CRT a good signal. The picture may have never looked good. I could replace the CRT with an LED/LCD monitor but this takes some serious retrofitting and also loses some of the 3D effect. A company called Ultimarc makes an amplifier addion though, that can be added to many arcade games and it works in this case - it boosts the signal from a VGA/CGA source and give the CRT the correct RGB values to a clear picture.
One Ultimarc amp later:
(http://i.imgur.com/FeniIck.jpg)
And it looks much, much better. I made a new wiring harness with Molex trifurcon connectors - my first time doing this and I'll never do it differently. Now the picture looks like this:
(http://i.imgur.com/LSTvTkl.jpg)
And while it may not look like much, there is a big difference. The star field around the inset video frame is actually visible and much less of the rear plastics and playfield is visible through the image. The white of the sky is bright with plenty of saturation, and the LED lights don't blow out the reflection. Also, I could turn the gain WAY down as well as the manual brightness and contrast controls - I have someplace I can adjust the picture to in the future! Really happy with how this turned out.

So many things went right for me today that I almost became Catholic. Shortest version of the news is that I was expecting six months in jail and I got 1 day of work service instead because they dropped a charge. Can't exaggerate what this feels like. The closest thing is rebirth.

I bought a decently collectible/rare revolver last year. I got a great deal on it and I assumed it was because the front sight was aftermarket. I was talking to someone today about it and they informed me that it is a special order front sight from the factory that actually makes my revolver even more rare and desirable. At this point it’s the crown jewel of my collection so to find out that it actually is even more special made my day!

I was gonna bitch in the struggle thread that weight loss has been too slow but tbh I should be lucky I'm losing fat at all with how shit I've been feeling.Weight loss is such an amazing feeling. I remember when I lost ~35 pounds in like 3 months and, even though that was a hell of a ride, I felt so much better at the end.
I've almost reached a point where I feel normal again. I don't want normal though. I want slim/skinny. :noah

I successfully left my 2 year old by himself at the church daycare this morning without him freaking out and throwing an inconsolable temper tantrum. He happily played with other kids his age and didn't care that I was gone. He had a really traumatic experience at the doctor's office and then hospital shortly after about a year+ or so ago and getting him to even go into buildings that he didn't recognize had been a challenge but he's making huge strides. Felt like a legit milestone today.Aw yeah, congrats on the success!

I was walking home from the pool today and I just realized how much love I have in my heart and how hopeful I am for the future. I know that sooner or later life is gonna kick me in the teeth, cause hey that's life as a human, but the endorphins from my swim were just amping me up and mellowing me out at the same time.
I don't think I've posted in the struggle or inconvenience threads in months (and if I did, it was so small that I don't even remember.) I love my friends, my family, my job, and my apartment. My finances are finally stable, and this is the first month since I started tracking my drinking habits that I've been consistently way down for four consecutive weeks. I'm back in the pool after a year+ long absence, and even my Bruins are kicking serious ass this year (ask Boogie.)
I'm burying the lede a bit here: I'm taking another one of my regular breaks from The Bore. This honestly has nothing to do with the Cindi/Cream thing or anything else, it just feels like the right thing to do for me right now (and I've been thinking about it for months.) I estimate I'll be back in the summer, but honestly who knows? I have a life to live. :)

I got the call back. I have been cast as Mr. Mushnik in the local production of Little Shop of Horrors. I can't express how happy I am about this. I tried for Audrey II and I was too old for the other parts, but there was just so much talent. There's only 8 roles, and there is just so much talent in this area. People drove for hours to try for parts in this musical.
I was just having fun being in the auditions and singing the songs that helped form me as a kid but to be cast is beyond what I ever thought I could do.

so on a whim i applied for a job because the role sounded interesting even though i'm not qualified for it (and that's reflected by the fact the salary plus benefits makes the package 50% more than my current one). i got called for an interview with a senior vp and turns out he liked me so much he's verbally made me an offer for more than the salary advertised and is making hr fast track getting the paperwork over to me. if the offer in writing is what he says it is i am saying yes in a heartbeat

It just means I'm behind on the Ph.D. timeline - which I knew about. Its kind of bullshit because I did't get my masters on time by a term and so they double counted that term against both my masters and ph.d. So its like 'O i see you are behind. Guess I'm going to move your next milestone 4 months sooner'.

I solved a minor programming problem in my dreams and then remembered it after I woke up.
I had been frustrated by constantly ending up with dry, tough chicken breasts when I baked them in the oven. Today I tried brining the breast before baking. That made a tremendous difference. So much more tender.

So much more tender.who woulda thunk it would take a guy with the saltiest tits in the world this long to brine his breasts?
Back when I used to code there was this incident where they had the whole team struggling to figure out a specific problem, and they had been working on it for 3 days. I got frustrated and go to the bathroom. And suddenly it all fell into place. I went back to the room where everyone was still arguing and I said, "Shut up! This is how we fix it!" And draw the whole design on the white board. After I was done everyone was like "Yeah....that'll work....what were you doing in that bathroom?"I solved a minor programming problem in my dreams and then remembered it after I woke up.
This happened to me before and it felt like the walls of reality were melting away.

It's weird that #brands (https://bit.ly/2IT3DSL) like Richard Mille (and the previously mentioned crime against humanity trading under the name Hublot) didn't so much upend the place Rolex occupies in popular consciousness as they just created a new space that's frankly incomprehensible to the average person.

Went to the dentist for a checkup/cleaning, came out without a hitch. :rock
I know this might not sound like something to celebrate, but my trips to the dentist have generally been more unpleasant than pleasant experiences. Had a good scare last week too since I went to some other dude who said I needed a deep cleaning and had deep pockets even though I had no signs of discomfort or bleeding. Doing so would have cost me anywhere near $1,000 - $1,500. After that, I went back to my old one and got out no problems and only had to pay $65.
What I'm saying is that dentists are fucking criminals.

I was at this big conference on homelessness for my company. There were like 100+ people all seated at tables of like 8 people each.

Over the past few weeks I have come to suspect that our newest communard (http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=43180.msg2463407#msg2463407) is actually more in ideological agreement with our dysfunctional community than she lets on. (Like all things anarchism actually expanding on this point will be tedious and garrulous so please take my word for it.)
Tonight I came home at a normal time for once and found her stoned out of her mind railing against police brutality to an audience in her room. "Mmmmhmm," I thought to myself as I went go grocery shopping at 22:00 on a Saturday with all the other extremely cool people who shop then. A bit after that I got back and the conversation had moved on to America's prosaic consumer culture. "Mmmmhmm," I thought to myself as I went to put my food away and drop off my stuff.
Then as I was walking down the hall to clean up she copped to going to Taco Bell on the reg.

This too. I did a lot of reading up. Mine was with a small eye insurance discount and a special. Normal price is $2500 per eye.I've also thought about doing the eye laser thing. But then again it seems kind of risky. If they fuck up it might have severe consequences.
You get what you pay for. I went to one of the best surgeons in the region to do it but I paid about $1,000 more than if I got it done locally at a reputable clinic. There are some of those "Lasik for $500!" but they use older machines and are more likely to cause issues in the long term.
LASIK sounds amazing, but I dunno how comfortable I would be without glasses on my face, they’re my security blanket after all. :doge

I had my yearly anniversary. I had asked for a small raise to just keep up with inflation nothing more (like 1 or 2%)
Instead they gave me a much bigger raise than I had requested. While I'm glad for it and shouldn't complain. At the same time I know exactly what they're doing and trying make those golden handcuffs stronger. Not sure what to do. Not that there's anything to do. I do appreciate it though.

While the bore was gone I did the dumbest thing. Drained my transmission fluid instead of my oil when doing an oil change. Super dumb. Didn’t realize it until I tried to drive it later that night.

Sitting in the hospital right now. Riding my motorcycle to work in a highway construction are this morning, a construction barrel started to roll out in front of me. It was really pretty fast so I thought I could move left and get around it. It stopped dead and I ran right into it going about 70mph. I flew over my bars, landed on my right knee/side and rolled and slid for at least fifty feet. Adrenaline was pumping and I jumped right up trying to make sense of what just happened. The bike was another 150 feet or so further down the highway. I’ve got some fucked up knees, a bruise on my lung and some road rash on my back but man... nothing is broken and I’m alive. That’s my triumph.I swear to god the bire is being targetted. :doge
Other than ... trying to sit on the toilet being a total pain I’m not too bad.no no, you're supposed to log things that are different after the accident
oh no!Not sure about the bike. It was dark and I was still all disoriented when they took it away. It was leaking oil and one of the saddle bags got smashed to pieces. Both mirrors were also smashed and the bars looked crooked when the front wheel was straight on the tow truck. From what I’ve been told from others they tend to total Harleys unless the damage was really minor. But I’ll find out more this week.
more importantly, how's the bike?
seriously, though, road rash sucks. a couple years back my z1000's transmission seized due to poor oil circulation (lol it was me not knowing i needed to change oil in the gearbox) and i went down a hill at 50 on my ass in jeans.
i received the BRUSH from the medics. that sucked.

I'm in the new place! Not a darned spooky thing in the world, though my landlord-provided minifridge makes quite a buzzing noise.

The landlord also gave me access to the separate guest house's internet (http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=43180.msg2603284#msg2603284). I'm not gonna complain about free internet, but I'm not going to be playing any online games for the next half year!

Of course! I'm always willing to discuss and address any issues that might impede project progress. It stands to reason, however, that my team does not work in a vaccuum. Rather, we partner with your team. As such, any discussion of attitude and overall productivity must include a discussion of your team and how they interact with my team. To that end, please be prepared to have a holistic conversation about both teams and their attitudes to help remedy any concerns at their root rather than band-aiding the problem. I've ensured my calendar is up to date, please feel free to book my time as needed, I'll loop in my leadership as needed.

My brother and I got a car for my mom like right after my parents started divorce proceedings 5 years ago. It was good for a couple years but then started getting to the point that we would constantly take her on test drives of other cars. We saw the perfect little Acura with radar/lane-keeping everything and convinced her that for Mother's Day, she should let us trade-in the old, tired Lexus as the down payment for it.I love this story
A 1/4 mile from the dealership, the transmission had a catastrophic failure and slipped like I've never seen while going up a hill. I had to reverse 50 yards down a busy street and take a less hilly path around to the dealership. I never got it to exceed 20 mph and I rolled through every single stop sign to maintain momentum. When I coasted into the parking lot, I cleared the check engine lights for the final time using my OBD2 scanner.
I am so thankful they did not drive that car around to appraise it. We clenched for 8 hours haggling the way you would expect Persians and Philipinos to do and then we took the offer and ran.
We also got her perfumes and chocolates, but this was so much better.
Damn Im so happy guys, baby two on the way, maybe a better job.
Life has really turned around these last few years with family and stability.
You can beat that bitch depression friend.After so many false starts, countless false starts, I'm finally on my way out. I am sky rocketing right now.
For this year I listed three goals in the new year's thread. Get abs, beat depression, get a gf.
I was actually the least certain about that second goal. But now I'm absolutely convinced I am not just beating depression; I'm beating the shit out of it. I am knocking depression the fuck out.
It seems too good to be true, but this time really is different. It's crazy how everything is falling into place, but at the very same time, it also makes absolute perfect sense.
I'll probably write another more elaborate triumph post later this month.

Joe Reeves as Albin is worth the price of admission all by himself. He makes the audience laugh one minute, blush the next, and feel great sorrow the next. While the show is lighthearted fun, the undertone of struggling to be accepted in a world that doesn’t understand or even agree with how you live is definitely there. And Reeves plays it beautifully.

Took a shitload of PS4 games and got rid of them tonight- Had been thinking about stopping the collecting thing for PS4 (don't play it much anymore) and just decided to go and clear out stuff- Sold most of the games to Gamestop and another batch to Amazon for about $700 total.
None of this was the "rare" stuff so was happy to get rid of it and I still have too many games for this thing, but it just felt good to dump stuff and free up space. Joy was sparked, etc.

"This Nintex guy's application looks good - a perfect score"I wrote it for our agency and the panel that had to decide received everything anonymous.
"Let's just check out his online activity ..."
"Well, this other guy says he can do it in 20k. Let's just let him fail and then pay someone to fix it."
It's likely to cost them $200,000 in they long run...Made it to the second round of a bid for a big government project. :whewDidn't get the job.
Our government awards contracts using a point system. There were a few categories, including the quality of the plan.
My plan had a 100% score. All 30 points I could get for the plan. Boom.
Especially because we didn't just hit all the boxes but also questioned their shitty prototype as it did not meet their project goals.
My offer was 90k, which was below the maximum allowed budget of 100k.
So why would the government reject a plan with a 100% score?
Well, someone scored 51% on their plan but offered the web application for a grand total of 20k. Less than 1/3 of our asking price.
No wonder all government IT projects fail with dumb points systems like these that force them to choose the worst plan.

It involves taking money out of a U.S. tax advantaged financial instrument for its stated purpose then contributing a portion of it back again when not all of the distribution was needed / used.oh i wasn't looking to exploit it, just curious on the technical basis. sure, can talk, dm me your email and i'll send a skype call invite for later today
Earnings and principal were distributed to the owner but when it's contributed back again it all gets recharacterized as basis (which isn't subject to tax or penalties if not used for its specific purpose). Custodians asked for guidance in situations where this occurred and that's the guidance the IRS gave them.
I don't think you could make massive sums of money with it, but Drinky Crow could probably buy a new Aprilia.
If you want to know specifics we can talk in camera.

Google Lens does that I think. Not sure how well.Bing visual search works really well to identify plants.
I honestly think I might go for applied mathematics because my math grades are all As and I don't want to do upper division CS courses, even though I'm trying to get into software engineering. It's just having any quantitative degree that'll get me past HR, right? Plus that could be a bonus if I wanted to go the machine learning route.
posting this so someone can warn me and say NOOOOOO if my premise is completely wrong. I know for a fact that neither esch nor riotous have relevant degrees...
Also, I'm extremely nervous still, but made the biggest career change of my life today. 😬 Well, I've been "making" the decision over the last week (lining things up, discussing it with family/close friends, trying to calculate every future variation like goddamn Rehoboam) but today was, like, "it."
Probably not the best time to abandon coding and pursue screenwriting but fuck it, if not now when? :) Been barely scraping by for the last year on contracts anyways and extracting payments from one of my clients was so excruciating I think it killed contract-coding entirely for me. And losing my 9-5 in 2018 killed that for me too.
That said, I know screenwriters are still the bitches of the industry and I'm starting on the bottom. But I know I can write, I know I can give notes, and I know I can produce short films. And I know that's a start. :)
Maybe in a year I'll be sucking dick in LA for crack but at least I'll have some scripts I can show for it.
I've been trying to take cair of my hair better because I want to grow it out, so I have so many products in it that I smell like a woman.

I had to have a molar pulled last year. It was pretty depressing. I was unhappy to wear the bridge they made for me. I did wear it for about half a year, then stopped, and now it doesn’t fit right any longer.
Friends have told me that I can fly to the Philippines, have an implant tooth put in there, and flying back to Japan for about half the price or less than it costs here. Trouble is, if something goes wrong in the Philippines during the surgery, or if there are complications afterwards and I have to get them redone, I will feel stupid for having gone to the Philippines for dental work.

zomgee you are living your best life right there! Night moves is an incredibly fun little table, I've only seen two out there going to cons. Yours looks like it's in excellent condition compared to those.
I've got a Buckaneer table that I intended to fix, but never got around to rewiring and relighting.

I hope it is reliable. I wouldn't buy LG stuff unless it was non-critical. The laundry/dryer combo machines have been available in Japan for 20 years, as space is at a premium and almost no home has space for a dryer. My impression is they break down a lot.
This is the model I got:

I did my research. It's considered to be the best brand for this kind of thing.

Just did a sketchy home repair on this thing, thought about chronovore the whole time! Wouldn’t buy one again but it’s lasted ~5 years so far :lol
The drain pump on them are absolutely trash, that’s what I just “fixed.” The impeller was free spinning from the core of the turbine so to keep it going awhile I sank a screw through the side of it (got this idea from YouTube) to stop that. Seems to be pumping strong again. But chrono was right, it is a pain to work on, I know from doing it several times
COME GET YOUR TOLD YA SO FROM HALF A DECADE AGO OLD MAN 😂
Update: Screw is holding up but I do have a replacement pump on the way

I finished running a 5K straight through for the first time yesterday. I added running to my routine about 5 weeks ago, but was only doing like 2 1/2 miles and walking 30% of it, started setting the distance to 5K on July 27th, end time was 44 mins, with a run 2 walk 1 pace. Last Friday I did 2 miles straight and then walked a lap where needed until finishing up, and on my 3 runs this week, I was doing 2 1/2 miles and then walk maybe one or two laps total on the finish. Woke up yesterday feeling like I had a lot of energy and needed to do something, so I did a run, went from doing endless laps in my yard to just running around the whole neighborhood, ran straight through for a 33 min finish. Felt pretty good, brehs :jebAre you walking for 2 hours before you start your run?
Hopefully I'll be able to still do it straight through every time with my normal 2 hours and 5 miles of walking before hand instead of going into it totally fresh like yesterday. Also 30 min or below is really my goal to get to.
Watched a family of 5 raccoons just now outside my place. They are really really rare in Saskatoon so I only started seeing them once I moved to Toronto. My phone is a POS so this is the best I could do.

today i discovered photos of what i looked like as a baby for the first time in my life :rock :rock :rock
edit: actually i should add some context. when my family came to the u.s. from the old country when i was a kid, nearly all the pictures they had of me at the time were either lost or destroyed. because of that, i never knew what i looked like as a wee toddler. apparently my bro discovered some old albums at my grandparents place that still managed to have a few pics. pics that i've never seen or was even aware of until now.

Well sort of.
All cars in Denmark are taxed 25% or so.
Then on top of that there is a registration fee on every car based on it's value. This fee is INSANE. The fee is 85% of the car value up to approx 25k euro and a further 150% on anything above.
This means that a Volkswagen T-Cross that costs 19000 euro in Germany, costs 28000 euro in Denmark (the math doesn't quite work but its an example I could find).
As I said insane.
Now electric cars are exempt from this registration fee until January. Then year by year there will be "gleichschaltung".
So in January the price of many EVs (like the model 3) will go up easily by 15000 euro.
Right now the Model 3 is cheaper then a RAV4 hybrid, Skod Kodiaq, VW Tiguan... So an amazing deal!
Socialism isnt free :-)

It is outstanding.
So i just found out that my internet connection will be upgraded to 1 gbit from january, and the fee will be lowered to 7 euro/month (down from 15), sweet!
Also, sometime next year they are going to do replumbing of the entire apartment complex and renovate all the bathrooms. I'll get 20k euro to refit my bathroom any way i like. At the same time they've refinanced all our loans so they will only have to raise the rent with 20 euro (390 -> 410 euro).
This building association has some pretty good negotiators on the board, i gotta say. :maduro

Are you planning to use something with a non-Windows device? Not sure how the arc mouse may work if it's Chrome OS. I can test it for you if you'd like.
Was looking into getting something for my Chromebook Duet, but the only trackpad that seems to be recommended or work properly is Apple's, and the price is ridiculous. So just been using a cheapo Logitech pebble mouse. I picked up an arc mouse and a nice keyboard on sale last year for work, but haven't been back to the office since so they've just been sitting here unused. Maybe it's time to use them in place of what's here now.
