I had to smoke filtered cigarettes. :brazilcry
I recently met a 19yo chick who smokes. It kind of blew my mind because I rarely see young people smoking cigs these days.I mean, nobody in the Detroit area can even afford them (besides Big Sean)

Why do we still smoke at all :mindblown
Future gens won't understand it. They will never know the calming and cool sensation of a menthol cigarette.

hey guys here's an actual struggle for you: my job bumped up my pay but took away medical coverage and all but two sick or personal days. can someone break down to my simple ass how badly I lost today?
hey guys here's an actual struggle for you: my job bumped up my pay but took away medical coverage and all but two sick or personal days. can someone break down to my simple ass how badly I lost today?
let's just say my pay was...low, and now it's a little less low. I had a pretty good amount of vacation days; dunno the exact amount but it was a few weeks. I don't know the exact cost of my coverage, but I'm figuring a few extra thousand a year doesn't make up for it.
yeah I'll get paid out for my old vacation days which is cool, but in the future it'll just mean that getting sick = losing money
From the limited knowledge I have, it doesn't seem accurate to use an unsubsidized premium figure for the purposes of determining how screwed Jimbo got.
:expert
HOWEVER, it is worth factoring in the cost of the time it will take to get insurance, deal with any billing hiccups, and finding any new doctors / specialists.

Can the wifey get insurance through the university? We switched to their high deductible with HSA plan this year and so far so good. Then the kid needed stitches and I'm waiting around to find out if we need to file bankruptcy or not. Their regular plans are stupidly expensive but cover quite a bit with low deductibles.

dunno gonna have her look into it tomorrow. I know the regular plan was unaffordable but we'll check that one out
My deductible is like $3K and I have no copay option, as in I pay it all out of pocket until I hit my deductible, praying the doctor has mercy on my soul. Once I hit my deductible, I still owe like 20%.
We pay into our HSA to cover as much of the out of pocket expenses as possible, hoping there's something leftover at the end of the year. But kids and ER visits and all that. We would've been golden when it was just the two of us though.

Back in my younger, scrappier days, I'd sometimes write huge fucking essays for my e-mails. However I noticed that nobody remembered or retained anything from those e-mails. I'd get pissed that I'd take the effort to write such a comprehensive e-mail yet somehow they never could remember anything from it when I realized that people probably just stopped reading after the first sentence (if even that). I now write my e-mails in a very concise fashion and I wasn't getting the communication "confusion" after that.I used to do this too right out of school but after a couple of years I noticed all the top management any basically any place I worked usually sent 1-2 sentence emails with zero thesaurus-speak and I've modeled my email writing (and internet posting) on that ever since.
My mentality behind it was that I was a 23-24 year old engineer and wanted people to know that I was on top of things. Having some successes under my belt also helped reduce my essay e-mails.

Runs in the family Experiment? If I remember correctly, you are pretty focused on being fit and I know my father always had high blood pressure, although I don't really talk to him to know whether that was because of formerly being overweight or genetic factors.
On a much lighter note, I'm rewatching Spartacus on Netflix and every time I answer the phone I have to pause it.

She's stuck in a back water town in the middle of nowhere, married to a frumpy pudgy real-estate guy who sells nutrilife on the side (which tells you he can't be that successful).
Her pics she smiles but looks unhappy and the smiles are forced.

So I ask what pieces she wants played. First off, the ukelele version of Somewhere over the rainbow for the wedding party. Ok, no problem.
Then for the bridal march she wants Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah".
I was like, "Are you sure?"
"Yeah, it's our favorite song."
"But the lyrics"
"Yeah we love them and have each verse memorized by heart."
"And knowing that you STILL want this as your bridal march?"
"Absolutely!"
Pick a harbinger of relationship doom as your bridal march brehs.
It's funny how some people respond to music. Some only hear the beat and others only hear the lyrics.
My wife is the former and I'm the latter. So, we never agree on what to listen to.
90% of lyrics are complete garbage anyway
Quality aside, it's just ancillary to me. I'd say they're probably more important to me now than before, but still. The meat is the music, everything else is the spice and/or sauce.

When Amazon sends their thing for feedback, that usually everyone just ignores, instead fill it out with something like "Lasership sucks, they did [X]" I had one of those companies with just dudes in vans when ordering a graphic card, he never rang the buzzer for my apartment, somehow got inside the building and just left it downstairs on the floor next to the outside door, not my apartment door or anything.
I guess you can get certain carriers stricken from your orders (like they mark it in your account or something) and if they get enough bitching Amazon will ditch them altogether or lowball them further. I haven't had that carrier since even though I saw the van delivering in the complex and I almost complained about another who left a package outside the building door but it was just a book and I couldn't build up enough disgust like with the video card.

But anyways the reason why I sort of know is because it seems to be a thing among minorities.

Yea. There are socioeconomics involved. Statistically there are many white women who have lower income levels, like many black men, and in many states live in the same neighborhoods. Interestingly overweight white women make less money than in-shape/average weight white women, which could explain some of the "fat chick/black guy" relationship stereotypes; they live in the same areas. In short black men have more racial options, whereas a black woman would more likely live in an area with a predominantly black male population.
Throw in incarceration and other factors and the amount of eligible (and interested) black men available drops even more.
The odd thing about all of this is that black women are making some impressive strides nationally. Their HS and college graduation rates have been rising for quite some time, as are income levels. Yet despite many moving into high income brackets they aren't having success attracting the white men who are in that income bracket as well. Anecdotally, I don't know many white guys who seem particularly interested in or open to seriously dating black chicks. I'd imagine western beauty standards play a role in all this shit.

I bought some shure e215 earbuds, because the reviews were good. I just did'nt want to buy the beats, because I feel like it's just brandname. Of course the shure's have a really unorthodox way of putting them in your ear. So at first it was annoying and a struggle to just wear them. I got use to them and I felt they sounded good. Now they've begun to fall apart with the left bud not even working. This is all thanks to maybe my small ears, but really thanks to the fact that you have to bend the cord to hook them around your ears. Guess where they are falling apart? Near where the buds, where you bend them. These cost a $100, so I thought as good entry level expensive earbuds they'd you know last more then 3 months. Nope....
Of course had I god when ear buds that you just place in your ear like the beats, like a normal person I would'nt be out $100.

He mentioned a pet peeve of reviewers using the term "360º turn" when they surely intended 180º -- I made a joke about it, and he wanted to over-analyze my joke. Whatevs.Got into a stupid semantics argument with Brian Wood on Twitter. Dude seems kinda defensive.
Who dat?
Comics writer; was a comics artist, and before that an illustrator. He has turned out some good work. He also did the character designs and type work for GTA III.
Ahh, I see he worked on DMZ. Why is he getting defensive.
I was getting ready to JO only for my VPN program not to connect and now I'm stuck with a semi chub that's on it's way to a full erection.

Cut all ties with my best friend in Saudi. Dude is not only a defeated, husk of a man that's a complete downer to hang out with, he won't stop trying to get me to debate him on gay marriage. First of all, I'm not going to try to appease anybody on bullshit anymore just cause I live here. Secondly, I'm not debating people on subjects they don't know anything about. Finally, I don't give a shit what he thinks.
The minor inconvenience here is I no longer have friends outside family in this desert aside from some dude who gets me my shisha at the Hookah bar, and that guy is just someone I talk to when I'm there. It's for the best, though.

I was in my office working with my headphones on when a younger :quark member of my team came in. I when I removed the headphones I accidentally unplugged the chord and Morrisey's "The more you ignore me" came out on the speakers.

I was like :iface "It's Morrissey."
She replied, "Oh, is that some famous Dad Rock guy?"

I always wondered how old most kids were before calculating their conception date. As a wedding gift, you could throw an old newspaper on top of whatever wine/silverware you were going to give them (I'm assuming your friends are cool enough to find this funny).

Pretty sure I'm going bald. Getting a receding line at the top sides :(
Maturing is just nice talk for hair death.
My hair is my best feature. I regret not taking full advantage of it. Its all over for me. The only thing I can expect in my future is to be passed over for promotions in favour of people who still have hair.
Honestly it would be a relief to go bald, then I could just give in and shave off all my hair.

Most of problems with the train (I.E. crazy-ass mofos fighting to get seats or other shit) disappeared when I moved and changed lines, but today I noticed something.
For the past month or so, there's been this old Chinese lady that gets on in the morning and immediately starts talking, very loudly, in obnoxious Chinese. I always thought that she was screaming at someone on the phone, but today when getting off I noticed that she was in fact staring at her reflection in the window and carrying on a conversation with herself.
Add to that an older fellow who decided to sit next me today -despite the seats in front of me being open- and constantly moving his leg next to mine every time I shifted mine over, and it was a fun morning. This guy gave me the weirdest look when I stood up to leave, too. He looked disappointed. :-\ :yuck So from tomorrow I will now be one of those assholes who sits on the outside seat.

We haven't really interacted with anyone from there for months but figured, "eh, free pie."
Pie was great but this guy came up to me, I hadn't seen him in 5+ years.
He said, "You used to teach at church. I wanted to let you know that I remember all your lessons and they've changed my life."
I don't even remember what I taught him.

I don't know how old your pops and stepmom are VK, but in my travels (no ageism) there's a big gap in economic experience and outlook between baby boomers and people 30 or younger. The realities of the latter, especially coming from more successful socioeconomic stratum, are proletarianized to such a degree now that the former can't truly grasp their position in the scheme of things unless they have a proletarian background themselves.

There's a profound antipathy towards workers when things aren't "working as intended" (i.e. making the expected amount of profit), and they aren't viewed as human beings with a quality of life so much as inputs that aren't operating like they're supposed to.
In the past Mary has talked about how middle managers have no real way of justifying their existence in an easily quantifiable manner (which is all the more important in this short-term world) beyond making their little fiefdom within a company appear more profitable, but since the population of middle managers is more a product of a discipline seeking mentality than a business improving one, they aren't going to be putting their mark on things with better work but by cutting costs and they exacerbate the inhuman mentality ownership already has in the first place.

I heard UTIs are more common in women because penises do that annoying "last drop" thing which forces the remains of the urine out, where as vagoos don't do that.

In June 2015, news site Nintendo Life reveals that in early 2011 Nintendo of Europe approached Criterion to work on a pitch for a new F-Zero game which they hoped to unveil at E3 that same year alongside the then-unreleased Wii U console, and potentially release the game during the console's launch period.
However, the developer was unable to handle the pitch as, at the time, they devoted much of their resources into the development of Need for Speed: Most Wanted for multiple platforms.
The site was tipped by an anonymous, yet "reliable" source, but they had confirmed this information when Criterion co-founder Alex Ward (who left the company in 2014) admitted that Nintendo of Europe did indeed approach the company for a potential F-Zero game on the Wii U.
On 28 April 2013, Alex Ward announced via Twitter that the studio is planning to steer away from its tradition in developing racing games and are instead focusing on other genres for future projects.[6]
On 13 September 2013, Criterion elected to cut its staff numbers to 17 people total, as 80% (70 people) of the studio moved over to Ghost Games UK to work with Need for Speed games.[7][8]
On 3 January 2014, it was announced that co-founders Alex Ward and Fiona Sperry have left Criterion to found a new studio.

Does anyone kno what I'm talking about? I don't know, how do you go about getting psych help? I don't have insurance or lots of money and an really cynical to people throwing me a bone. I don't know bore guys I feel like I'm inching very close to offing myself. Yes I know I've played that card already but I feel like I come closer every day it's like I just need to right push.

You'll be asking yourself a more painful "What if?" down the line if you don't invest in yourself first, believe me.
You're the best investment you can ever make. Unlike a company, you aren't going anywhere. (Yes, one day Google will be regarded in the same way we regard Kodak or Pan Am presently. Sorry Andrex-kun, Santa Claus is also a lie.)
Is the Google job something you really want to do or do you see it more as an internship to get your foot in the door? A lot of contractors are temporary and a lot of people at those Silicon Valley companies just cycle around every few years from one company to the next until they can finally afford to maybe buy a home in a nearby zip code. It's a good opportunity and congratulations on getting to this point but know that it's just a first step.
By American standards, that's not a great GPA as universities do lots of curving here but I've known people with worse grades who went to Google or similar companies. I've also seen a lot of smart kids who struggled because of how the testing experience is different in college. Usually it takes a year or two but it is strange that school doesn't drop grades on assignments that were affected by health maladies. I would talk to a school counselor about options and advice for the major you're studying and honestly I think focusing on just university instead of adding work on top is the best thing to do right now.
You're the best investment you can ever make.

Can't play diablo 3 because I got my stepson farming simulator 15 and he's way too excited to play it. :lolI'm that way with my 360 now that I bought my son Minecraft. Feels like half the time I don't even get to use the damned box anymore.

Tried to burn in a iron pan for the third time and failed horribly again. Oil turned pitch black, potatoes are completly black, three different fire alarms in my flat went off, I can't stop coughing because the smoke went everywhere... the inside off my plan after rubbing off the oil looks almost like before :maf :maf :maf ???http://dixiemockingbird.hubpages.com/hub/Seasoning-a-Cast-Iron-Skillet-How-to-Season-or-Re-season
I've been using my cast iron pan for a while, only have one so it gets a fair amount of use. I'm not sure what a properly seasoned one is like, but so far it's pretty non-stick. I actually don't really care about the seasoning. The point is for it to not rust. It being non-stick is kinda secondary. At least from my experience. Cleaning and seasoning is pretty easy. If stuff gets stuck on the inside you just have to clean it before it fully cools down, I scrub as hard as I want tbh. Sometimes I use a bit of soap, sometimes I won't. But always with hot water. Depending on how dull the pan looks on the inside, I heat it up a bit on the stove then rub a bit of oil on the inside if it looks like it needs it (i.e. if it's dull and not shiny after having been cleaned).

Does anyone actually accept LinkedIn requests from people who don't send an intro message? I get like 2-3 of these a week and I just ignore them. I think that even if I wasn't employed I'd still be less likely to accept them because it just feels so impersonal.I ignore them. Particularly because I even have "I only connect with people I've worked with" in the header of my profile. If they can't read, I /really/ don't need 'em.
Also I'm amazed at how many messages I've been getting on LinkedIn lately. I think it is because I updated my profile with the project I just worked on + having iOS in my actual job title now.

Also soon t-mobile will allow free SD video from certain services like Netflix/Crackle etc. They are pretty competitive.

Brilliant deductions docteurs Ordinaire (http://www.absinthebuyersguide.com/drordinaire.html), if you'd read the patient history instead of rushing to write op-eds on the Jean Lanfray case (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Lanfray) you would have seen that last night the patient consumed whole grain lavash before bed so that he would, oh this is good, "Have the energy to write his daily sonnet for his unrequited true love," aww that's so disgustingly pathetic, yet still woke to go pee pee. Whole grain, that's one of those carbohydrate things right? Patient presents with insomnia and nocturia, what's the differential diagnosis... go.
No recent dietary changes but the patient has experienced rapid weight loss since switching to a hybrid vegetarian / vegan diet this year. What if there was a fat soluble toxin from the good old flesh consuming days the patient was releasing during beddy-bye?
Patient has a history of mental illness so we can't rule out psychosomatic presentation as dull as that may be.
Endocrine issues fits, patient has family herstory but the patient also had a recent full blood work up done. Diabetes can be excluded for similar reasons.

I can be your latino man, kara.
Part of the problem is that the basic ingredients are just not here. And when you can find them, they are extremely expensive. Turkeys are uncommon in Japan. I found one one time the size of a medium fryer chicken, and it was ¥8000 (~US$70). Celery is also stupid expensive, and while I dislike it as a vegetable, it is necessary for making proper staffing. As our cranberries and cranberry sauce. Yams are also rare here, though I suppose I could easily substitute sweet potatoes.Living in Japan during Halloween, Christmas, and New Year's is pretty alright.

I have an iPhone 6 and it just started overheating and draining battery fast. All I could find in my lazy search as a solution was "try turning it off then on again" which I've yet to try but will now. Any of you deal with this before?

Any of you deal with this before?If it's less than a year old, they'll replace it for free. If it's more than a year old, they'll charge you an outrageous "set price" to give you a replacement, somewhere between 60-70% of original retail price for your unit. If that's the case, have a third-party place fix it, but backup-and-wipe it before you hand it over to anyone you don't know.

Yup. I pretty much had to change the gauze every couple hours yesterday but now the bleeding has nearly stopped. Very chill recovery time.
I have some hollow splints inside that may be stuffed with gauze but I can still sort of breathe through my nose so I dunno about internal gauze. The outside, under my nostrils, has gauze I have to change a few times a day now as blood slowly drips out of my nose. I feel like it's starting to scab up on the inside now as its a lot less bleedy than before.That sounds miserable.

damn I tried to flip pancakes with a cast-iron pan... it didn't go so well :heh I forgot I usually flip that shit with a large spatula instead of moving the panYou're a braver man than I
I always flip with the pan. I learned it ages ago. Now that I think about it, it should be possible to practice with dry materials if you don't know how, but I never bothered with that.Too bad there's no one there to ever see you do it.
But it's probably impossible with a cast-iron pan because you need to make a quick jerk movement with the pan and cast-iron is way too heavy for that.
Amazon's PS4 and PS3 video streaming app uses a proprietary and utterly shitty keyboard for registering and password entry. For some reason they also coded the PS3 BT remote's "ENTER" button as "BACK," which ended up backing me out of the dialog entirely, three times, because REASONS.UPDATE: Of course this keyboard is used throughout the app, so using "ENTER" on the search screen will back me out to the Home screen. Fucking fantastic. GREAT JON, AMAZONG.
Seeking praise and approval from others is one of the great causes of unhappiness in life.I always flip with the pan. I learned it ages ago.

WTF is going on with my wife's and my friends? Another friend of ours has found out her 43 year old husband who she's been with for 20 years and has a 10 year old with is having an affair with a 25 year old. Not only is that all terrible but the 25 year old is admittedly stunning. So not only does our friend have to go through this terrible thing, she admitted to us yesterday that she's just humiliated that her husband is leaving her for a hot young thing and it makes her feel like an old cow. :tocry
I know a guy who is in his early 40s, works retail, and is "dating" a stunning 19yo chick. He left his wife who is a nurse to be with this chick. Basically he lives in a small apartment and lets this hot chick stay with him, which is enough for her to fuck him I guess. I suppose the benefit of some stability is enough for her to overlook him being a beer belly loser. His ex-wife isn't even bad looking. She's real nice and has a good job.
He's related to one of my friends so I see him at events with his 19yo gf every now and then. Shit is awkward.
Be a wagecuck. :'(:brazilcry

Thanks to Pallando, I looked up "exit bag," and now I'm sad. Not just sad that there are heaps of forum entries on how to use them, and which theoretically works best (because if they really knew, they'd be unable to post about it).

Boss is gonna change my Q2 target cause I reached my Q1 target ::)I learned quickly that the reward for hard work is always harder work with most people and to gauge what kind of person they are before exceeding expectations.
Typical for my company and the corporate world. Also he says that while he is happy with the numbers, I didn't sell what he wanted me to sell ???
Can't even be mad now although I will kick up a shitstorm when time is due
Clients and bosses will say they want you to shoot for the Moon but really they want you to shoot for Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, or, fuck it, just go all the way up to the stars.

I remember my first management job I was like "I'm going to change this org!" and went out and was able to save my executive 12% on my annual spending budget, the budget was already tight so it was really difficult. When the next round of budgets came around the exec was like "Awesome job puppy!" And gave me a budget that started at 15% less than what I had already saved. When I was like "WTF? You want me to run this department for nearly 70% of what it ran for when I came in just 2 years ago?" Dude said that I had already got the company some savings that it wouldn't be a big deal for me to do it again. Got my things in order and left at the first possible opportunity. Now I try to gauge if the person is the type to move the goal posts on me constantly and if they are, I get close to their target but never exceed it. Otherwise you're always going to be chasing a changing target.

Feeling the urge to make political posts on Facebook. I've only made one in the last month or so, and it was about the Supreme Court, which in theory is a non-partisan subject (I know, I know. Looooolllz). There's so much anti-Hillary propaganda I want to reply to, but I have to stay strong.
Btw, since I've cut way back on political posts, I'm noticing how annoying a lot of them are when other people make them. It's like when you quit smoking and suddenly notice how much your smoker friends stink.
Suppress that urge, Walrus.Don't listen to him Walrus, there is nothing more important than waging political warfare on the internet.

Election year is in full swing, and things are getting real. By things I mean people’s opinions. Americans, already a partisan bunch, are coming out of the woodwork to voice their political passions.
Nowhere is the battle more heated than on social media. Facebook, Twitter, and the comments sections of political websites, long epicenters of ugly, shallow discourse, will increasingly light up like the Fourth of July with poorly reasoned arguments and ill-informed analyses as November draws closer.
As you enter the fray, willfully or not (because, let’s face it, at this point it’s pretty much unavoidable), beware the dark recesses of the Internet. The road to Election Day is littered with all manner of vile beasts anxious to pounce. Below are some of the more common creatures known to prey on logical, reasoned discussion and a little advice on how best to defend yourself should you encounter them.
2. The Gamer
This fellow’s liberal arts education is finally starting to pay off—in the form of condescending, pseudo-intellectual rebukes straight out of his 100-level university rhetoric class.
You know this guy. He fancies himself an elevated thinker and attempts to prove it by repeatedly parroting terms like “straw man” and “ad hominem,” no matter the context. Be careful, you’re dealing with a master debater—on a good day, he speaks eight words of Latin.
His profile pic is a CGI swordsman and his cover photo an homage to “Fallout 4,” which he’s already beaten despite its release just weeks ago. He’ll pwn you too if you insist on pointing out the obvious economic flaws in Obamacare because, even though he’s never paid a bill in his life, it’s allowed him to stay on his mother’s insurance for another two years while he finds himself. He’s feeling the Bern alright—universal healthcare means he may never have to move.
Use extreme caution around this one. Didn’t I tell you? He almost passed that rhetoric class. Still has the book, too, in case he needs to quickly reference a fallacy, or a coaster for his milk when his mom brings him more waffles.
But don’t let his unwarranted condescension and poorly formed logic derail you. Chances are your arguments are perfectly solid, unlike the gelatinous liquid swarming with flies in the piles of cereal bowls that litter his basement bedroom.
d asks if there's any feedback and someone in the back says, "I thought there was supposed to be lunch." The partner VP slaps his head, he had the food delivered to the other room. So he runs out of the room and goes to the other building (a 1/4 of a mile away)nice
Well, the other room had thought the food was for them so they ate it.

I'm about to head to bed but I'll seriously consider implementing your recommendations.The CD isn't going to be empowered to offer you a raise, and is clearly not interested in setting a reasonable schedule for you. Talking to the boss, it gives them the opportunity for the company to take corrective measures before you start singing "Happy Trails to You." If your shop is already overworked and has an employee retention problem, you may have more negotiating ability than you've suspected.
I'll try to meet with my boss as soon as he has a gap in his schedule but my creative director is really the person I answer to/dictates my schedule.
I don't really care if I end up getting fired now. I got kicked out of BJU and I recovered from that, so this shit should be no different.
If anything, staying at this job is more of a detriment than a benefit to my success in life.

Someone comes back and says "I need this by monday!" On a friday then your reply should be "K, you'll have it by then, but I wont be in on Monday/Tuesday".
If they don't like it, then you should reply that they should have told you earlier or wait until it can be done at a reasonable hour. Honestly, you teach your employer how to treat you. I get emails with stupid questions on the weekend, even if I know the answer I wont reply until Monday because I find you answer one thing on the weekend you'll spend the whole weekend doing work.

Due to the obvious farce of Democracy that is Our Presidential Election, We have come to the undeniable conclusion that the Will of the People is no longer the driving force of the American Government. With the rampant voter suppression, fraud, and blatant disregard of their voters, BOTH the Republican and Democratic Party serve not the people of this Country, as they have sworn to do, but the Rich and Powerful. This leaves the American Citizens no choice but to engage in Open Revolt against the tyrannical oppression that has taken shape in the form of Citizens United, The Republican Party, The Democratic Party, Congress, the Supreme Court, President, and the ruling Oligarchy of Corporations and the unassailable Wealthy killing Our beloved freedoms and Civil Rights.
We have come to this realization and decision as a Last Resort, the question of whether Our Democracy is corrupt is no longer debatable. The Media ignores these treasonous acts at the behest of the Corporate Owners they themselves are beholden to. The reason for this decision is not because these acts have occurred, but because the confession of their occurrence does not alter the outcome of the Elections! Arizona will not see a revote, even though the Secretary of State CONFIRMED the widespread Voter Suppression and Party Purges. Will NY see a revote even though 162,000 voters were purged from ONE district and the firing of a BOE clerk has confirmed this, NO! In addition on the Democratic Primary side, there are many other reports of fraudulent ballot counting, voter purges, and voter suppression throughout NY and the entire Country as a whole! On the GOP side, whether you agree with Trump or no, the voters of the Republican Party have, without a shadow of doubt decided he should be the Republican Nominee; however, as of today (04/25/2016), we have learned that the RNC will most likely NOT allow him to become the Nominee. The Two Party System has shackled the American Political Process, and in doing so created a system that is a mockery of what Our Founding Fathers fought and died for. I do not think that ANY American could deny that if Our Founding Fathers were still alive, they would support this very revolt fighting for the very Democracy they once so ardently fought and bled for.
In conclusion, as a true American Patriot and Citizen, I believe the 2016 Presidential Elections have certified the fact that our Democracy is Dead. We have an irrevocable choice before Us, We can either continue to be oppressed and allow Senator Sanders Political Revolution to be quelled, dismissed, and illegally destroyed, or We can rise up and DEMAND Our Country back. Quoting Abraham Lincoln, "Government For the People, By the People, and Of the People shall not perish from this Earth"; however to Our shame, We have allowed it to perish from the once Great Nation that was The United States of America and it is apparent that the Powers that Be will not surrender it back willingly. I encourage all of Our Brothers and Sisters, of All race, creed, religion, and sexual orientation to Stand Together as One Voice, and although I desire nothing more than this revolution to be completely Non-Violent and Peaceful, should it come to an Open Revolution in the Streets, We believe that Democracy MUST be preserved and We ARE willing to lay down our most precious sacrifice that is Our Lives to ensure it to Ourselves and Our Posterity.

I don't even bother putting my 4 year old MacBook Pro on my lap.Dude no joke, if I actually held this shit in my lap, 3-4 hours of Chrome is all it would take to burn my balls off and render me infertile. It's amazing.
That shit can cook an egg when I'm running Chrome, Photoshop, and Illustrator at the same time. :doge
Do you want me to give you a good reason to buy a new one? I have some expertise there.I actually am looking to buy. Can write it off next time I file my taxes as a business expense. I mostly just want a laptop with an SSD, i7 or equivalent, and a decent GPU. Probably aiming for the low end range of ROG laptops. Haven't looked too hard yet as I'm still a paycheck or two away from being able to afford it but feel free to throw out some recommendations if you have em
Looks like I have about two or three more weeks to go before I finish all the work my job has arranged with our biggest client yet.
Going to take a week paid vacation after that. Which will be most of my paid vacation time, save for... two days I believe... need to double check that.
It'll be a staycation so I can just hash the fuck out of my portfolio to get a huge chunk of it done before the end of this year. And it won't be a simple task since a lot of the work I've done at my job is (in my opinion) substandard due to small budgets and client input. So I'll have to give several projects some facelifts.
Also, as a way to motivate myself, I told my brother if I don't get my portfolio together before the end of this year he can have my Sager laptop, my whole entire Steam library, and my PS4 & the 3 or 4 games I have with it.
edit: sorry for shitty grammar and any misspellings. I'm fucking tired.

FTFY. You forgot he's Jamaican.
So a woman walked into work today and she looked EXACTLY like an ex-girlfriend. Threw me the fuck off when she walked by.
Girl who looks like my ex just casually walked up to me and gave me her number. I'm going down a dark path.
I decided not to acknowledge the pics. Saw the chick today at work, had a cordial work-related convo plus some random chit chat as usual. TBH I can only think of one thing that might have prompted this: last month she told me I smelled nice that day (don't remember what I was wearing, probably just aftershave lmao) and I said thanks so do you. Was that a fuck up? Ehh.
I did send the screenshot to my gf last night, almost asap. I'll see her tonight so I assume it'll be fine, since I have nothing to hide. But still.
He did the right thing and if the gf blows up at him then he learns that she has issues trusting him.
I mean I can't tell if he did the right thing but he did the "right" thing.

It's Kara, guys. That's what he wants.
And they don't really care.spoiler (click to show/hide)Who am I kidding? They know. :brazilcry[close]
I've been a bigger loser than you before Mr Pal. When I did the eventual moaning about my problems to real life friends they were like "wtf I had no idea you were so much stupider/less social savvy than I thought". Then it hit me.
Sometimes you just gotta jerk off, shit yourself, and then walk out of the bathroom you're hiding in like nothing happened. That's the way life works.
While I generally agree that offering little personal info makes sense, I wouldn't include this on the list. I'm going to pay for this but my gamble is that the L I take in the future is significantly smaller than the L I would have taken if I never told her about this and she somehow found out x months later.Don't mention you have a brother you don't speak to because it's personal. Show pics of voluptuous latinas that were sent to you privately to your GF because they might find out some months later brehs
As an example of shit I don't mention...like Kara I have a brother I don't talk to, and I will not discuss that with anyone. That's personal info that has nothing to do with our relationship.
Is this a new girlfriend, Kara, or did you get back with the ex?
If you've explained this in the relationship thread already I apologize, I haven't gone in there in awhile.
I may or may not prepare a "should I tell the truth" flowchart to help you navigate life in a non-Ned Stark manner, but in the meantime here is Vularai's Maxim:
If asked a direct question, answer it truthfully, but do not otherwise volunteer the truth freely, and do not contradict the inferences made by others to try and fill in the gaps that arise from living thusly unless asked to do so directly.
Example: I was sharing a meal out with my girlfriend--who knows little about my unsavory past--when she said something along the lines of, "That's because we're both only children." Now this is untrue, she simply inferred it because I have never spoken of my sibling (whom I have not spoken to in 15 months now, and have no intention of ever speaking with again), but instead of going, "Actually..." and ruining the meal with an infodump about my benighted kindred, I simply let the conversation move along and didn't engage with that.
From where I sit, PD is manufacturing problems for himself and his SO.Hm, you know, this sounds pretty wise.
Office girl sent something unsolicited. Delete it, give Office Girl a graceful out by never bringing it up, and don't cause problems by introducing nonexistent drama to your chosen partner's life.
Chrono that's definitely good advise. I was just scared at what might happen. So far things have smoothed over though. She thanked me again for being open and I haven't gotten the impression she's brooding over it. We're still chilling like normal. Obviously I expect her to bring it up in some form or fashion one day but I don't think it'll be a huge deal.
Feeling good right now.

Honestly dude, you were a victim in all this but behaved anything but. I'd think about why that's going on, at the least.

Those GTX's are expensive af. I got a vacation in Miami at the Fountainbleau next month for a few days and that is also going expensive af.
Gonna have to get by with a struggle card until the RMA returns. :'(
One of my fellow communards is in deep shit with the IRS* and I know with every fiber of my being that eventually I'm going to get asked to help them out with this and then I'm going to be in the awkward position of having to decline to help them since fucking up with the IRS isn't my area of expertise (you wouldn't go to a divorce lawyer to defend you on a capital crime, tax law operates on a similar division of labor despite no taxpayer ever understanding this).
*While it's possible that this might not be true, I know enough of the telltale signs to know it's more likely than not (to use an accounting standard) they're in deep shit.

50 year old white dude at my work walked in for his shift and said "Sup niccas" to me and a 24 year old white guy. Then walked to his desk awkwardly like he made a massive mistake.
I've been struggling to not bust out laughing for the last ten, fifteen minutes.
Might have a stress fracture in my foot. Or a bone bruise. Probably need to have this checked out. I might not be able to do any running for awhile.
It's pronounced "that is", we're not in Victorian England.
I imagined a posh scholar type from the era trying to impress his peers. I don't actually know when "i.e." entered common usage. :V A lot of pseudo-Latin and Ancient Greek, as well as unholy fusions of the two entered the language during the Renaissance, I know that much. Would have been a better choice, I guess.
Kara, help. A shit-tastic tutorial voiceover just said "i.e." -- pronounced it "eye eeh" instead of saying "id est." Linguistic treachery!

When I'm proofing at work I have to say i.e. like that because people look at me even more funnily than they already do when I say id est. or exempli gratia. :tocry
I’m just going to come out and admit that I say “i.e.”. I’m probably not going to stop.
Yup, if they don't want people saying "i.e." they shouldn't spell it "i.e."
:deadI've been too stunned to say anything... :stahp
I.E. I focus too much on how people say things.

I just ate a giant burrito and I shouldn't have eaten the whole thingI'd love for you and I to share a burrito.
What were you doing when you were eating Arbys while mostly naked? Watching Jeaopardy? Listening to Weird Al? Was it some sex thing?Proper degeneracy. :aah
What kind of underwear are we talking? I have told you that I've had blood come out of both of the holes on my underwear parts before, right?
Well, we're really hoping for some groin area here.
What is the point of an amber alert on a TV show? Are we supposed to watch for that particular make and model of car to drive through your living room?
It's to make people feel like something is actively being done to help and that they are a part of it.
Plus its awkward to get an Amber alert for the kid you took.:rofl
Dean Koontz? :comeonWell, to be fair, this is the struggle thread.
Was going to work out
Then I ordered takeout
That's a lot of ketchup, dude.
Found out someone I know reads Dean Koonz :brazilcry
I'll have to google shutting it off in iOS.Wait, who has cable? T&C? Like actual cable?
True story. A few weeks back, I was house-sitting for someone that had cable, so I was totally whoring myself out at the altar of cable TV. I believe I was watching Three O'Clock High because I remembered like 30 seconds of it from watching USA Up All Night like 26 years ago. Amber alerts start coming in, and they're interrupting my fucking movie, and when the alerts end--they go on for like at least a minute--the movie doesn't even return to where it left off at. If this is the burden of living in a connected and internetted up society, I say burn it the fuck down. Fuck your kidnapped children, fuck you interrupting my leisure for stupid bullshit, and, most of all, FUCK AMERICA for not appreciating Three O'Clock High when it came out, it's fantastic. They kept repeating the alerts like every 15 minutes, too.

None of those words make sense in the order you placed them in. Here, I've arranged them so they make sense:
"Fuzz to do. I'm loose, hollering to get the shit cable fixed and -- by my too-negative and mammoth clone -- I'm stomped; knocked so fuckin' hard, it scared the breadboard too."
I just had a political discussion with a delivery driver that ended with "...the devil is coming for your children".
Guess what his views were on transgenders and Obama?

How old are your kids?
Part of the reason I don't go to Angels games despite living in the shadow of Edison Field is all the families there. Maybe it's more a Cleveland thing than a baseball thing?
It's worth the effort though. Especially with blueberries or chocolate chips. Go get some pancakes.Bananas are also pretty great in pancakes.
Sure, but unlike you I have a commitment to bettering my mental health. Besides, why do you think it's a minor inconvenience and not a struggle?

Good news: I can easily wake up at 4:00 or 5:00 am now.

Same. I'm up at 4:20am and usually in bed by 10pm. When I get home from work I mainly read and watch reality TV. Sometimes cyber with demi. I don't really have enough time to get into a game.
First we get a heatwave, now a storm, with hail that sounds like fireworks going off. :lucas
The hail was strong enough to smash the windows of a neighbours car. :lol
Let my car sit on the curb for too long again and it wouldn't start. No fuckers around me are willing to jump my car so had to spend money to get a guy come and jump the car. Second time this has happened. Having a car in NYC is fucking stupid.
My co-workers today were commenting on the heat and at the same time saying climate change was nonsense. :stahpAh, the basic bitch/basic bro dualities.

Also lately all I want to do is drink and work from morning till night.All that sugar is messing with you. Try cutting back for a month, see if it helps.
Came up with two awesome ideas while walking home - turns out they have both been done. fuck everything.

This week is a cluster fuck, work wise, and on top of that I'm combatting a sore throat and a mild yet persistant headache. :-\
PD how was that sausage?
Someone broke into my car last night. I don't keep anything valuable in my car so nothing was stolen. Yet my center console was flipped open and my glove compartment, which is full of old car repair receipts, were strewn about. My vehicle registration was intact. So no real worries here fortunately.My wife and I thought the same thing. It's amazing how fast you find shit to fill that space with. I turned one of the rooms into my hobby room and my wife made an office for herself.
Since nothing was stolen, I didn't bother the police. I called the apartment complex manager saying it should be a good idea to tell people that someone's car did get broken into and to stay safe. She said that she was sorry that it happened but she wasn't going to tell anyone because it may just be a one off thing and besides, there was no need to create panic. Then she thanked me again for reporting it and hung up. Makes me wonder if other cars got broken into.
This has finally pushed me to start looking at buying a house or a condo. I have enough saved up for a nice down payment and I can finally have my dream of having a sauna and steam room where I live. I've been looking at Zillow for the better part of tonight. Home prices are incredibly cheap but the primary issue I have is that I don't own much and don't see myself needing a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom house.
I keep sabotaging myself at work by avoiding things and putting them off.I'm the same way. Once a procrastinator, always a procrastinator. :I
I already have plenty of work, but now with the self created backlog and time pressure added I'm slowly going under.
I can't figure out why I keep doing this, my best guess is that I'm just a lazy person only prepared to really work when the stakes are high.
I keep sabotaging myself at work by avoiding things and putting them off.I missed this but I'm the same way. Honestly what worked for me was putting my fingers into so many pies (:teehee) that I always have something with a deadline on the horizon. I made it my business to try to get work and learn new things. It helped with my image at work and with my productivity. Now I'm a guy that gets things done and is always trying to help and learn new things. It can make things really stressful sometimes though. :-\

Speaking of this, without fail when my wife and I lived in a townhome I would come out at least 3 times a week to find the ignition cap on my bike open. It has a little latch to cover the key insert. It may have been kids just messing around or it could have been people looking for an easy steal, but that was when I really started to think "I need to get the fuck out of here". It was a "good" neighborhood too.

Living in a commune where respect for individual ownership of property is minimal, it was probably some gene repositories. The only people who have ever fucked with my bicycles are stupid babies who need to be somewhere other than the den of iniquity I abode at. I didn't even have pedals you can't use without special shoes mounted on all of them until recently.
Related: one time a stranger (to me) was at The Commune for a party or whatever and they turned out to be quite the bicycle enthusiast, chatted me up for a bit, et cetera. My response was to lock all my bikes up in my room for a month until it was clear that they were not to be a regular fixture on our unending party scene. Trust other people brehs.
I hate writing IAP systems in video games. I have done it 3 times now and each time I feel like it takes a piece of my soul.What's your best deal? :teehee
No teens who just can't wait and start early? That's what happens here around new year's.
Did you tell him this? I think you should tell him he was two hours late and it was rude.
Did you tell him this?
lol. srsly
this place reads like gaf sometimes
sorry mups :sabu
It sounds like he felt unprepared there and like he was lacking in masculinity. You could say that you were just really focused and serious about what you were there to do (also can be applied to school/workplace whiners) but a guy that age who's that easily triggered might just rage at you? I dunno.Yeah I'm not sure what he was expecting. I was just of the mind that if I show up at something like that two hours late that I am there alone basically. I wouldn't expect someone to pack up their rifle and then watch me shoot my handgun.
Usually younger guys I've seen like that take the dignified exit path as soon as you make that option available and then you never see them again.
Show me you gun mups. Let me see your gear.You've got it, broseph. I'll send you some revealing pics tonight
Crazy. Is your wife's classmate hot?No. :( She seems cool and normal though. This dude is 4 years older than her, doesn't have a job, spends most of his days at home getting drunk and watching cartoons. He gets by on his parent's dime while he goes to school... about an hour a week. We're not sure why she's with him.
He sounds mentally unstable, and he has a gun. Don't piss him off.I saw his targets. I doubt he could hit me.
Mupepe listen, if things don't work out between your wife's friend and this guy and she needs another bf who can lay around the house all day and watch cartoons, you know where to find me.No! You belong to me.
This guy makes me think of my friends bf who is a 40 year old student.This honestly sounds like the fucking life. Except being poor. Being poor would suck.
He tried to make it big with his band but didnt altough they still play here and there so now he finished his bachelor and wants to do his master.
He studied something very stupid and thinks he will get a job at MI5 (the local equivalent) and if they dont give it to him he wont take any other desk job that might be a stepping stone so he will just work as a barista (which he does now)
now there are three possibilities:
-he is distinguished mentally-challenged and thinks he will get the job one day, him being over 40 and with no experience in the field (as he wont take similar lesser jobs) and the job being sought after so they can cherry pick talent
-he is just doing this to get student money from the government while keeping his gf of his back that he should be more serious while she works full time
Now I believe its a mixture as sometimes he calls the office for stupid reasons to ask her fucking dumb shit. Lile last week he called to ask what kind of papers he has to bring to a shop to buy a internet subscription. I mean you are 40 and have 5 days of a week and you call your gf to ask this while she is at work? :doge
I've been operating all day under the assumption that today is FridayI thought yesterday was Wednesday and today was Thursday. I woke up feeling great on the downward slope of the week until I realized :doge
:dead
Looks like I'm not the only one lol. Holiday weeks brehs...
If he comes after you, for added psychological damage, hide behind a paper target since he found them so difficult to hit.He sounds mentally unstable, and he has a gun. Don't piss him off.I saw his targets. I doubt he could hit me.

Unity rolled out new forums a week or so ago and they're so broken that you can't post in any thread regardless of browser. Of course I find that out today when I have a question that I'd like to have answered relatively soon.
Apparently they're going to roll back the forums, it was possibly gonna happen today but as of 8pm PST it hadn't happened.
I have no idea how Unity became the dominant piece of middle ware for this industry. (Okay I have some idea, but still)
So I became a member of Arsenal but I must have made a typo cause I didn't receive a confirmation mail. Already reached out to their CS.That's the football league/club, right? what does it mean when you become a member? Like a season pass type thing?
Struggle is real

Unity's success is almost entirely due to timing and not the quality of the product. The engine got reasonably usable right when the mobile App Stores started blowing up and Unity promised the ability to write your game once and be deployable on both Android and iOS and you didn't have to fuck around with learning OpenGLES or Java or Objective-C. Unity had Javascript and Boo (which who ever used this?) and I think (maybe I remember wrong) C#/Mono support hit around the same period which also got a LOT of people who had tried to jump on the whole XBLIG bandwagon to jump ship as well.
Torque died. Unreal didn't come to mobile for awhile. I don't think Crytek hit mobile for like 5+ years. XBLIG was a bust. XBLA/PSN weren't really viable for small/mid size/solo type teams. Most of the established players in the console space weren't into mobile. The playing field between random joes and the big fish of mobile was relatively level and Unity was the best option. It also cost a whole lot less than anything else at the time.
The licensing cost was also a big deal. Really it wasn't until 2 years ago or whatever when UE4 finally changed their pricing model that there was anything even remotely viable that you could convince tight budgeted people to let you use.
So yeah, it was cheap, "easier" to use (you dont have to write a renderer, the misconception of no memory management), and deploys to multiple platforms. The asset and plug in system also let you avoid having to "roll your own" for a lot of common things.
I remember back in the 4.x days of asking "when's the new gui coming?" and the answer was always "when its done". The stock gui system was so bad, how it made it through 4 major revisions I'll never know.

Thanks; I'd forgotten about the XBLIG movement, and how PSN- and XBL-delivered digital titles were briefly predicted to be industry saviors, and then fell on their faces. I guess that's no longer true, but I see so many moneyhatted Sony PSN titles now and I'm so far away from the day-to-day of game biz now that I am sure my perception is skewed.
I /do/ really like Unity's New UI system. It feels quite robust and reasonably intuitive. I also enjoy how every item in New UI (well, Unity entirely) is a Game Object with Components added per need, so just about anything can be purpose-built or stripped down as needed. I came in with Unity 5, so I only know the horror stories about the old UI system.

I overhear 3 people discussing dementia and Alzheimer's. All 3 pronounce it "All Timers". Do these fucking idiots even stop to realize that doesn't make sense?? I've heard "old timers" before and at least I can see where they might get that one. But it's fucking Friday and I shouldn't be this angry that people are so stupid.
You motherfucker! Monday through Friday I don't drink coffee at home. My wife does though so I rely on her to tell me when we need it. That didn't work out this time!
Was driving home and suddenly *THUD* hit a nice new pothole in the middle of the highway. The front-left hubcap went rolling along the left lane.A pothole destroyed one of my front tires last year, and another literally broke my dad's car earlier this year. Michigan has some of the worst roads in the country.
:neogaf
Fortunately I was able to order a replacement pretty cheap.
Good thing it's not the hub of the auto industry or anything.Karma for roads destroying Detroit.

Mosquito
Fly swatter
ffs... there's a mosquito in my bedroom. I got a clear shot at taking him out... TWICE... but I went at it with a floppy fly swatter. Missed twice. What is the point of a fly swatter if it's so damn floppy and shit? I can't move fast enough with it. I opted to try to murder it with my hands so I can move faster, but now I can't find it anymore. fml

Trying to fix my brother's laptop (HP Pavilion). The keyboard isn't working. I've tried every tip I could find, make sure sticky keys weren't on etc. I randomly decided to hold down a bunch of keys last night and the keyboard started working...but an hour later it stopped working. Now when I hold down some keys (alt, ctrl, end, fn, arrows, etc) I get it to type for a second, or try to open an app, before the keyboard becomes unresponsive again.
Any ideas?

This gif perfectly encompasses Drake's career.
Had a guy who looks to me as a mentor call me up a few months ago wanting some job advice. He was working for consulting firm but didn't like it. And really he wasn't cut out for it. So we spend hours talking and I was like "Dude you gotta be prepared to be unemployed for up to 6 months or so with your skill set and your geographical location. You'll find something but not right away. But it's probably for the best, you're not really up for the consulting game right now. Settle down into a job where you're comfortable. You'll do better." Four months later I get a call from this guy saying "My old company asked if I could come back. What do you think?" I told him if he didn't like it before why would he consider again? He said it had been four months without anything and he wanted to give it one more shot. I told him "You gotta be ready to put in a year at least. You come back and leave again it'll impact your career negatively. Don't bother going back unless you can give them a good year."
Got a call this morning from the guy telling me that after 6 weeks he's quitting again because he doesn't like it. :comeon

Later today I did the walk of shame back to my supermarket to buy more... and saw those motherfuckers were out of stock!! :rofl
Well they probably had some in the back that they forgot to put on the shelf but I'd feel like to much of a druggie to ask them if they had any more (http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/feedme.png) so I bought alternatives

Ran into a family friend at the grocery store today. A pastor who has to be 300 pounds or so, perhaps more. Real nice jovial guy. He was with his son who is 8 and I swear he is the fattest 8 year old I've ever seen. His weight has slowly grown as he has gotten older, I can tell he's going down the same path as his dad. He's playing football so he's somewhat active but still, sucks seeing kids get that big.While my daughter and nephew were with me in the USA, we saw one corn-fed Idaho family of three that were just... I felt sad to see such a caricature of American obesity on display. Mom and Dad were over 300 lbs. each and doing that exaggerated fat-person swagger/waddle, but the 4-year-old in the shopping cart was probably 90-100 lbs. and I could only assume if they were eating less garbage and walking more, they all be living longer and better lives.

Had an infected root six years ago. Probably the worst pain I've ever experienced. I couldn't sleep, or read, or even watch a video. I was pounding the wall in my room towards the end of it.I've had it before as well. It's miserable. Not only was it so insanely painful as you describe, the dentist who eventually treated me for it tried to use minimal anesthesia. After four or five rounds of local injections instead of stopping it at the jaw hinge, when he tried to start drilling despite my insistence that I was in incredible pain when it was just barely touched, I came very close to punching him. I was probably in lizard brain territory by that point.
After two weeks I got a dentist to knock it out. Took like 10 minutes and I felt amazing after, even with the threat of dry socket.

I can't go into details about one of my new projects of course. But while everything is absolutely legal, it's very morally grey at best in that it seeks to completely exploit the consumer base. There was a time when I was just out of college that I probably would've been so uncomfortable with the premise that I would've said no to doing it. But now? I've gotten so jaded by working with so many companies and watching them do so many morally reprehensible things that I'm just like "eh, this isn't even in the top 10 worst things I've helped companies do. If we don't do it someone else will and besides the tech is really cool. Not only will we do it, we're going to knock this out of the park!"
A family friend of ours was involved in a startup and made some good money through it. His entire family was always Cosby tier insufferable black elitists, and while his parents were disappointed in his career choice initially they became fans when he struck success. Last time I saw his dad at a social event he asked me "accounting still huh. I always felt like that's glorified secretary work, no offense." He's a pharmacist.
Anyway within the last two years the startup went belly up big time, including some fraud charges. And their son got divorced. He's now doing desk work at an insurance company. Can't wait see his dad again. We've reached a level of contempt where I don't have to say anything, the minute he sees me he'll quietly take his L, shake my hand, and go back to discussing why black people don't work hard enough and why racism is a crutch.

Fucking Unity.
Trying to add an iOS deployment license to my existing Pro account has eaten 2 hours of my day. Wait, no: 3 now. Their authoring tool has a button to add it, which launches store.unity.com with NO INSTRUCTIONS on it, nor even a mention of iOS or adding licenses or anything. Unity ID, manage seats, add licenses... NONE of it leads anywhere useful. I'm in the support queue now, and on Unity Answers, and even fucking tweeted about it, which got a defensive but useful response from a Unity coder last time I did it.

Have to rebook New England trip that was booked for next month, with us trying to sell a house and trying to buy one there isn't enough cash I think to go on a big trip like that now. If we have to make an offer and a downpayment this month I don't want us to deplete savings.Sounds like you made the responsible decision. Congratulations again on the house sale.
Rebooking fee is 150 pounds and all the accomodation we booked can be cancelled still :)
Kind of a bummer as we were so excited about fall in New England, and we cant rebook for next October since you can't book that far ahead, plus our baby will be over two so the cost of the trip will go up by a lot.
Sounds like you made the responsible decision. Congratulations again on the house sale.

Haha well Ford warranty repair only offers it if they keep the car for more than ten days. I'll find out tomorrow or Monday how long it will be.I know I'm probably splitting some hairs here, but the car sounds un-drivable, and the dealer says they can't look at it until Wednesday, that means they're keeping your car for 5~6 days right there. I'm surprised they're not being more accommodating.
oh I agree. I'm not happy about it. It's been a shitty two days.

Noticed one of my car tires was completely flat this morning. I had AAA come out and add air, then drove to get it replaced before heading to work. I think I'll get the other three replaced before winter comes. I get real paranoid about car shit around this time of the year because I've had car trouble during snow storms before....not fun.

I was planning something that was awesome for some folks who last minute ditched me. Now I have to go alone and it sucks because I wanted to share this experience with them. If you're in Austin and wanna do something on thursday afternoon let me know.
I don't have one...but I live within 5 minutes of multiple places to get air put in tires, including one that's free. If it was just sorta flat I would have just driven to get some air but it was like FLAT flat.Noticed one of my car tires was completely flat this morning.

What the fuck is up today?Sounds like you were putting off some pheromones today. Que spicy, amigo.
First I get grope several times by a TSA agent, who cupped my balls several times, once hard enough to leave them sore. Then I get on a flight in a puddle jumper and the stewardess's seat is literally right next to mine. I pop out Dragon Quest 7 on my DS and start playing. A minute or so after take off as we're doing the climb she leans over and is like "Can you really read that fast?" I was like, "Uh, yeah." And I left it at that. A minute or so later she leans in again and asks what's going on in the game. I can tell she wants to talk so I close the game tell her about the game. I figured since she was obviously wanting to talk and you guys know I'm always looking for an opportunity to hone my conversation skills, I strike up a conversation with her. And she starts getting comfortable. Like rubbing her breasts on my arm and almost setting her head on my shoulder comfortable. So weird. She's not your typical hot flight attendant, she's just an average woman. But it was strange to have her get to comfy so quick with a complete stranger. At the end of the flight she took a picture with me. What's strange as well is that she used to live in the city I was born in. I think she's the first american that I've met that actually knows where that city is (actually I think there's one other guy who knew it) but she lived there. The whole thing was crazy.
What in the dry rectal intrusion is up with printers?
Check the print monitor: "Printer is not responding." OK, I'll deal with that in a minute **gets distracted**
½ hour later, printer starts printing, though I haven't changed anything.
Try printing again: "Cannot find printer." **reboots printer** Printing commences.
5 minutes later, try printing new document: "Printer is not responding."

My mouse in Linux was too sensitive, ended up installing a driver, seemed to make it better somehow
Then I booted in Windows... my mouse was really slow
Turns out my mouse can remember the settings and now it's too fucking slow on Windows
So I download the Windows drivers and apparently I can't change the settings unless I login
Now I feel like throwing my mouse in the fucking trash than try to fix this

I think I might live in apartments for the rest of my life so I would never have to deal with lawn bullshit. :dogeYou could just pay a Mexican to take care of it for you. But some people enjoy working on it themselves. Unless I live in an actual city with all the benefits and amenities I could never go back to an apartment. Too close to other people.
I love that my yard is forest and doesn't need to be treated like a lawnMy next house will be out in the middle of nowhere so I can have a good amount of land and say adios to the HOA bullshit
Being from FL, never new mowing the lawn could be so dangerous.In Tennessee people would tip over. They'd mow steep inclines horizontally rather than vertically.
But literally had multiple pts coming in seriously injured or died to the ER from accidents with riding mowers the past summer. I guess riding up mountains changes things?
Manage to score an interview with a local bank (software dev position) via a recruiter I've been in contact with. He sets everything up for today, I make an excuse up at work to leave early and head over there. I get there, turns out the recruiter and the HR department of the bank had a miscommunication and the interview was actually scheduled for yesterday. So now I dunno wtf I'm gonna do since I have barely any time to take off from work. :-\
A good friend and ex-coworker (one of the very few I actually like) got laid off because his firm was having a terrible Q3 (as if that's rare).
He's worked for them for 10 years. One full decade. They gave him 2 weeks severance. WTF?

That's what my wife thought too (she's a nurse). But then I told her it had been itching some yesterd and I scratched the shit out of it. She looked closer and found a spot where I had been bitten by something.

The one time I manned up and refused to give out my number....I told someone I didn't have a cellphone (in like 2011 smh). He was like ohhhh ok well nice seeing you again. This was at the grocery store. 20 minutes later he ended up seeing me on my phone in the parking lot.

I thought it was an age thing, but I've met PLENTY of seniors who completely understand how to use email, browsers, and at least one SNS. My stepmom set up her own router at home, just following the manual. A secretary at my wife's work administrates their network including a strict IP address list set up to prevent any non-employee from having any ability to connect. Shit, I have -no- idea how to do that. But at this point, I think my mother has some cognitive problem which prevents her from doing anything other than send/receive email from one app. She avoids using the iPad I gave her. I know three-year-olds who use iPads, including being able to switch from app to app.
Several months ago, she wanted to be able to check email while traveling. She didn't want to bother me about it, so she called her service provider and tried to figure out how she could log in to public PCs while traveling. (:oh_shit.gif), but the first thing they told her was she could just log in to their webmail service with her usual password and username. But she couldn't remember her password, so they offered to set it to whatever she liked (:wait_wut.gif), so she reset her password at the server, which of course meant that all her local devices could no longer retrieve or send mail because the server has her new password but local devices all have the stuff I set up for her. So she calls to ask me how to fix it, but she can't really explain why things aren't working, because she doesn't realize what has been changed and where it was changed. In the end, I had to call her provider on Google Voice with her on a separate Facebook line to provide any billing information to prove that I'm not socially engineering the situation, to get them to set the password back to what I'd had it set for her. (:fuckingjesustakemenow.gif)
Total service call time: two and a half hours of hair pulling madness.

tell her to consider using physical (paper) mail again

I got a lot of shit stressing me out and some other shit happened. So my anxiety was high and I was dealing with it by doing maintenance on my car. I got too focused while replacing the motor to the window washer fluid pump. Somehow, my friends thought the bluish-green window washing fluid that drained out of the reservoir was anti-freeze. They thought I drank some and was suicidal. So I end up in the ER as a suicide attempt lol. oh my days! lol

I've been in the hospital since Saturday and lost all the weight I wanted to lose anyway, but this was rapid and unhealthy so it's going to come back :/
Damn dude. Sorry to hear that. Glad you're feeling better.
I should've asked if you were alright when you mentioned you went to the hospital in one of your texts. :doge
edit: Also, all 3 girls, that I've been chatting with, went radio silent. ">_>

Appreciate the concerns, guys.
I'm going to be having weekly therapy, bi-weekly group therapy, regular check in with my psychiatrist (once a month to start), I'll be taking prozac daily, and my HR person at work is going to check in with me every so often to make sure I'm 100%.
It seems like a lot but this'll be good for me. I'd been taking to a therapist but he often just wrote stuff off as stress-related and not me having major depressive disorder.
Also, I wanna say something inappropriate here but is anyone else jealous of how people who die get to find out what (if anything) happens next? Ever since I was a little kid I viewed it like graduating.Honestly, I find it a little selfish that they don't tell us about it so we can decide beforehand.

Talked to my mom today which I do about ever 2 weeks and I hate it a lot. Every time its the same patters: grandparents falling a part, she hates work and thought about quitting, all things she wants to do at the house but has never done for 10 years, updates on my cousins having significant others and if I have one, when am I coming home. Every time I just feel absolutely terrible terrible for her and then feel bad for myself.How familiar this is. Same patterns, only my grandparents are already dead.

As a father of a kid with autism you always try to be positive and not look at it as a disability or anything. And I feel I do that pretty well. But man, when you're filling out IEP prep paperwork it really hits you how despite all the help you can get him there's just going to be things that are going to be struggles for him that everyone else takes for granted, that no one else even thinks about, some of that is going to always be very difficult for him through no fault of his own. Sucks :goty
This project is starting to seriously fray people's tempers here. It's one of those "make/break" projects for the CEO's year initiative's so he's pulled all the the most senior people in on this project and brought in some outside people too. We've already had to fire a guy and laid off another. Today one of the outside guys goes off about how he doesn't like my cohort's tone (which I was in the room and there was nothing wrong about the tone) he kept pushing it and pushing it while my cohort was trying to calm the guy down the dude turns to me and says, "Puppy! I think you guys have a bad tone. What do you think?!" Now generally I'm known for being the guy everyone likes so I think he was looking for me to be on his side. I was done with it and said, "What you don't understand is that you might be a big shot in your field, but in this room you're the small fish here. That guy (I said pointing at my cohort) and me, we're the guys the CEO calls first every morning. We're all working here and you're talking about tone. You wanna know what I think? I think we've already fired one guy. That's exactly what I'm thinking right now."I fucking love when you take charge like this.
The room went completely silent. I guess you can't complain about tone if the room is silent.

So on Friday during our call with the publisher, one of the things they say is "the heads of the company saw the game and they were very luke warm on it. We were thinking maybe you guys could add some more pizzaz, more emotion to it."They're stupid:
I bit my tongue very hard at that moment to not say something I would regret, and our studio head blustered with them a bit before moving things on to actual business.
The reason I was so pissed is that almost everything that has come up as an idea to make the game "pop" more or whatever is something that WAS PLANNED AND GOT CUT FOR TIME AND BUDGETARY REASONS. There's like a month and a half left on the schedule and it is pretty much all devoted to bug fixing and balance tuning. I don't know what the fuck they think we can add at this point that doesn't fuck shit up royally.
I told my boss after the call I needed a drink, he obliged.
Working for publishers is shit.
Flip-flopping on it like that doesn't sound very legit.well they seem enthusiastic talking about their stash of food, first aid equipment and other crap. I think their effort is in earnest they're just not very smart... like most preppers.

Clients always ask for stuff they think they want, but don't actually know what they want, or how to appreciate what they do have. It's stunning.
Oh I know, I used to work at an interactive marketing company. At least publishers have some vague idea of what things take to make. Try telling a massive pharmaceutical company that you can't make their stupid iPad app on the budget they want and have it run on 1st gen hardware.

I have been looking forward to it for a month, but I know my limitations as a 49-year-old, and marching around like that would cause a relapse.
FUCK. I wanted turkey.

"Uhh...."
"Help me with my business!"
"Uhhh..."
"We're gonna kick off a sale next month. We're gonna do some ads in the paper and everything. What do you suggest we call it?"
"Well what's the sale?"
"10% off of everything!"
"...and??"
"And....it starts in December."
"Save your money and pull the ads."
"Why?"
"10% You kidding?"
"Hey 10% is a good sale!"
"When was the last time you were like '10?! I'd better go there!!'"
"Uhh..."
"10% sale is the participation award of sales."
"But it's 10%! I thought you said you were good at business!"
"No, YOU said that."
"I'm going to double the ads!"
"Good thinking."

I guess my best friend is going to get married to his succubus girlfriend. Probably never hear from him after that. I really don't want to have to go to that wedding. Would it be a super asshole move to reject being the best man at such a thing if you really don't support it? Probably.If he really is your best friend, then you should go if you can. You never really know why they're still together, or why neither of them will leave the other. Maybe they actually feel happy together, even if they seem to have huge issues. My best friend is dating an emotionally abusive guy, but then again, she's also like that, so they're kind of a perfect match for each other. But I would still go to their wedding if she invited me (God forbid though).

I've mentioned this in passing, but my anxiety in crowds/large groups is somehow getting worse.
Which is odd, because I certainly don't have group/social anxiety. Put me in a group and give me a chance and I'll be the most entertaining person there. But especially with christmas shopping I've realized that if I'm in a crowded shop, restaurant or building I'll have a mini-panic attack and just be really ansy/uncomfortable til I leave. I find it weird in that I have no problem performing to hundreds of people, done that lots or presenting to hundreds, done that tons too, and with both situations I don't even bat an eye, where I see far more sociable people than me completely meltdown. But put me in a slightly crowded store, and I'll start to freak out. Not really sure what to do. Brought it up to a friend who works in mental health and they were like "Heh, that's generally a trait of social anxiety. Puppy, no one will believe you have social anxiety for a second."
Not really sure how to go forward with this.
CostCo visits seriously make me want to start fighting people. The combination of a tightly packed crowd and bad manners gets me seeing red way too quickly. :-\

I was getting visibly angry on our last trip there Saturday. This particular Costco is insanely crowded no matter what day or time you go to it, filled with idiots who don't pay attention to who is walking around and lots of shopping cart "traffic jams" because of it.
Costco used to be a free membership for us when they had AMEX cards. Seemed worth it for no other reason than to use the gas station they have and go in occasionally for stuff. Now we live a bit further away and have other gas stations nearby -so no need for gas there- and are having to pay $55 a year for membership to go there and buy shit like toilet paper and paper towels. It doesn't really feel worth it for the stress I get from the insane crowds inside. One poor dude walked right up to my cart and pointed to some paper towels to ask where they were. I was about to punch him in the face when I saw him reach out. :lol :-\
That reminds me of another place filled with far too many people- IKEA. Popped in there last week because they have the four-cube Kallax shelving units on sale for $19.99 each. That's almost 50% off so I went to go get two of them. IKEA already has huge crowds, but when we got to the warehouse area, it looked like a fucking brawl was going on with a shit-ton of people hovering around a certain aisle. All of them were grabbing at the fucking Kallax units on sale. :lol :dizzy I went over to it and found the area cleaned out, but my wife noticed that some of them were sitting in another area, so I went over and got some as more people continued to pour in and comb the area for them. Fucking insanity.Love IKEA, but hate going there. Kohoku IKEA is pretty bad, especially the cafeteria. But if you were there are this time, they were probably having some kind of NYE sale. That must have been insane. lol

Looks like they can be bought online. I might pounce.
My dad whined that I didn't call him on Skype for some days after Christmas. But he hasn't even been online whenever I checked (several times a day), and when I told him that I can't call when he's offline, he said he's online a lot but uses the invisible mode. Ugh.... What does he expect then. He always waits for everyone else to contact him, while he never takes any initiative to. I love him, but he's such a needy child sometimes.

Hey, Riesling exists. (http://i.imgur.com/2m1dPLC.gif)
And it is well-liked. (http://i.imgur.com/2m1dPLC.gif)Hey, Riesling exists. (http://i.imgur.com/2m1dPLC.gif)

I should probably get into wine, on account of not liking beer.
I think I would piss in my shower before I pissed in my sink. :doge
I stopped doing that four or so years ago when I noticed yellow beads forming on the low parts of my bathroom walls from the coagulated condensation. :kobeyuck
Not like I did it much before that either. Zero tolerance these days.
I ordered one this morning while at Bell Tire.
I haven't had a dream in ages.I only remember mine when I turn around to sleep for another two hours.
I'm dead on the inside.
That sucks Chrono. I just had someone do this not too long ago, but it was his fault. I was like "Did you not read the design spec?", "Uh, yeah I did. Version 10 duh!", "Umm.we're on version 12 now and you're on an email announcing it a few days ago."
My inconvenience, An illness is going through the family. Started with the youngest, then moved to my wife and the rest of the kids. Luckily we know its about a 24ish hour bug. But it sucks as, one by one everyone gets taken out for a day and it also sucks to sit and wonder "am I next?" I got work to do.
So the virus finally caught me.
To make it better this conversation happened today, "hey puppy, this is Kelly. Kelly this is puppy. He's the guy everyone goes to for relationship advice"
(Please keep in mind I have a fever of 102 and have been working so I wasn't as bright as I should have been)
Kelly says, "so my husband just came out as bi. I want to be supportive but I'm a little hurt"
Like a genius I replied, "well, just because he's attracted to women doesn't mean he'll cheat."
"I AM a woman!'
"Oh....."
To be fair, she was a very manly woman. I just thought she was his husband.
Holy fuck. I can't even. My wife's uncle just posted something to the family group on facebook about how the true mission behind CERN is to open an alternate dimension so they can unleash SATAN upon the world! Is there nothing these people will NOT believe? Other than Obama created jobs and largely did a fair job as president? It seems NOTHING is too unbelievably silly for these people. I posted about how now we know it's Satan that creates mass. Hopefully I'll get kicked out of the group even better, maybe someone will think "he's right, that's silly."

The aunt I'd mentioned earlier, the one who went Full Trump prior to the election has started posting just about any Fake News site she can find with the most insane, unbelievable shit. These fake news sites have people chasing their own tails in apoplectic fits. She says, "How can Obama explain this?!" and "I'd like to know how this is possible."
I've always gotten the idea that people who believe in all kinds of crazy shit are dealing with something in their personal lives, something emotionally distressing, that makes them cling to shit like that. The crazy shit they post is a manifestation of their mental perturbations.
QC is 10$ cheaper than the 10 here and I like it a lot better. The Cairdeas 16 is better than QC though.
I don't actually like rye, which seems treasonous.
I had a super weird Bore dream, and now I feel weird browsing here.
Ordered a bunch of stuff from Amazon recently.
-One game was used. The description said "like new." I get it and sure enough, it looks great. Fantastic condition. Somebody slapped a sticker on the case, however, so I go to peel it off and it leaves residue. I take out the insert and notice that they've also cut out part of the UPC. :-\ So back it goes. Ordered a new copy instead. Was only $10 more anyway.
-Another game was the PAL version. :lol This was from a seller's storefront, and they say they only give back 85% on returns for unwanted items. Fuck that...not my fault they didn't put a proper description. :doge
-Finally, and much more importantly, I saw some bracelets I thought my wife would like and ordered them for her birthday. Got them today and they look like cheap shit. In fact, doing a search for similar products shows me ones that are in fact on sale cheap. So back this shit goes, too. :dizzy
I told my wife about it and she was like "I wouldn't want that anyway."
:dead
It wasn't too expensive as far as jewelry goes-- only $100. She said that she'd rather just go eat at a nice place instead. :lol

Japan is really sensitive on the "die!" and "I'm gonna kill you" stuff. In the USA, friends would say it casually to each other, but here people get upset, so no-one does it. Bork's SIL is wayyyyyy beyond the fucking pale in this insult.

Wow. Just had an incident of "pipe cleaners" unlocking our front door to enter the apartment unauthorized. I was undressed and not prepared..
Texas law for that sort of thing says they have notify you in advance telling you that they will be there on a specific day in a specific time window and that if you're not home they will enter. I'd be surprised of that's not the standard law elsewhere.Not sure about the law, but I've lived in this town for several years and never had that happen before. And I know no one has been inside while I was out either. Anyway I complained, and the manager called to apologize.
This isn't how I imagined my first JAV would be like. :whooWow. Just had an incident of "pipe cleaners" unlocking our front door to enter the apartment unauthorized. I was undressed and not prepared..

I had a recurring nightmare since undergrad where I signed up for an advanced linear algebra class and then forgot about it and now its the last day and there is a test and Ive never been to class but need to pass this test.I had dreams like that through college, and for a year or two after graduating. You will get rid of them if you ever leave academia.
I got like no sleep
^ She sounds like a fucking spoiled brat.
Do you and your wife not live together btw? Not prying, just curious because of how you worded things.
Anyway, speaking of Japanese family: My FIL is kinda crazy too. He owns his own business up in Akita (where my husband is from) so he keeps acting like he's hot shit, and I really despise how he treats his son. He'll not only belittle him, but he'll step on him too. And there usually just aren't any reasons for it. Whenever he comes to Tokyo for business, he never asks to meet his granddaughter. She's 1,5 years and he only met her once. He only wants to go drinking with my husband. And when they're outside, he'll just sit for hours and tell his son how great of a man he (himself) is and how much he has accomplished. So naturally my husband feels mentally drained and down when he comes home. My husband's half-sister once told me her dad is forcing her to go to dentist school, and she reeeeeally doesn't want to be a dentist, but she's too afraid to say anything, so she's just going with it.
Let it be known that my husband's other sister has been avoiding their dad for maybe 15 years, because he would give her massive panic attacks with his behavior. Also, he doesn't care to visit any of his grandchildren. Either way, we're better off without him. I'm glad he lives half a country away. lol
Had to take Bentley the dog to the vet. Hurt ums ittle paaaawww.
I think I went from abject cynicism to complete nihilism over the past three years.
Not sure if that's a bad thing or not.
I dunno, nothing good happened to me for the past...I don't even know how long, and now my thought process is "Why would anything good ever happen?"

Spent an hour removing like a hundred tree sap spots from GFs car. And also spent longer than that sanding the trigger on my mosin because it's crudeness is no longer character building. My hands and nails are covered in sap and wd-40. :(
How does that happen?
I don't believe this. I wanted to buy some yogurt in one of those plastic buckets because for some reason yogurt from a carton is always garbage but I could only choose between 0% fat and 10% fat. Why not just normal fat? Anyways I can't believe they even offer 0% fat. It's garbage. The 0% fat craze isn't as bad as it is in the US (I think) but it's still pretty annoying.I thought it was more of a cooking thing than a diet thing? Nonfat yogurt is great for baking, and smoothies, for example.

Felt excited when moving to a new apartment in a new area because then I would probably get a new delivery guy for my almost-daily food delivery. ...Nope. Same damn guy. He's nice though. But I felt like dying when he thanked me for my loyality. :doge
Sometimes I go to the same places many times a week, and pretend I'm trying to decide what to eat even though I already knew, and they already knew, before I sat down.
Uh, I hope the follow-ups remain a topic for this thread, and not the struggle thread.Same. I don't think it's anything medical/mental. She works out a lot, like 5 days a week. So she's constantly psyched up from that I guess?

It totally depends on the establishment -- I loved being a regular at dive bars, some of them would pour me a drink as soon as they saw me. When the mcdonalds cashier gets friendly I take it as a warning sign. So, it's a pick your poison kind of thing I guess.
Half the reason I tip well is that it pays off on subsequent visits.What's the other half?

I've had apimp ass macbook cloneHP spectre X360 for 2 years and all of a sudden it wouldn't turn on. I got panicked not having a laptop for almost 40 hours and went ahead and bought the exact same laptop (but with QHD/i7/bigger SSD) on Craigslist for $500.
Anyways, I thought I'd diagnose the old one and promptly stripped two screws (flathead on a torx). So of course I bought a drill. And then I drilled those two out and tried testing the laptop without the battery. It works without the battery so that indicates the battery just needs to be replaced.
So basically if I had used the proper screwdriver, I would have saved close to $600. But now I have a decent drill and I'm thinking of giving my gf the "old" one after I replace the battery. That proves that while I'm not good with money, eventually brawndonomics works for the greater good.

So uh, I fell asleep reading this forum and ended up having a weird dream where we had a Bore meetup, but then my dad showed up super drunk and I got really scared of him (he's 20 years sober, was never violent though ofc). Then you guys helped me chase/trick him into going home.
There was a lot of weird details.. like one of you smoked rainbow colored meth.
Oh yes. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes I'll have dreams of internet people/friends, and it's always weird.So uh, I fell asleep reading this forum and ended up having a weird dream where we had a Bore meetup, but then my dad showed up super drunk and I got really scared of him (he's 20 years sober, was never violent though ofc).

So at work a guy says, "Hey man, you look a lot like this actor." I say, "Paul Giamatti?" He's replied, "No, David Cross." I told him I get that a lot and blurted out my favorite David Cross line from Arrested Development, "Yeah, I'm really looking for something that says, 'Daddy likes leather!'" The guy just raises his eyebrows and says, "So yeah, David cross from those Alvin and Chipmunk movies." Apparently he never watched Arrested Development and is probably wondering why he works with such a pervert :goty

This forum's software is trash. I also had difficulty with that timezone shit. It's hidden behind a button with a drop down list but it doesn't look like a button.I know, it's terrible. Usually I'm always on mobile too, so it's awful to type out posts on a non-responsive website with 1 pixel fonts. And since hover doesn't work on mobile, I couldn't find the timezone option. Thinking if it, I believe I asked demi once in PM about this but he never responded.

So...why do you want one, then?
Because I think in the past Macs were decent enough. Now they're shit. In principle a computer like a Mac would be superior because it's not as overly complicated as PCs.

Today I was on the verge of telling a client that I wanted to gargle buckshot because of all their inane and incessant changes on a bunch of designs that I've been working on-and-off since the beginning of this month. :beliYou might tell your bosses that they need to find someone else to work on this client's stuff, and/or that they can grow a spine and start charging for the changes and figure out someway to channel that back into your income. Dealing with somebody else's constant emergencies on your salaried, no-overtime schedule is utter horseshit.
If this was a "normal" client this shit would've been completed easily within 3 days...
Download the Apple TV remote app for your smarphone. The physical remote is awful.
Computer operating systems are really user-friendly these days. Even Linux is simple if you get the right distribution.
Is there a good Apple TV remote for Android, though?I have no idea. Never owned an Android device.

I haven't felt like anything PC was like that in comparison since Windows 7 came out. I say this as a former Apple user for decades. I didn't get my first PC until 2004, and my next computer following it was a MacBook. I switched back to PC in 2009 and never looked back.
Apple sucks now. The only product I have from them that I use on a regular basis is an Apple TV, and I hate it. Constantly have problems with the remote not responding properly (when navigating using the touchpad) and apps not working. Like Hulu will constantly freeze up and stop playing videos. If I load up Hulu on a PC or a mobile device the videos play just fine. It only happens on the Apple TV. I really need to get rid of it already.

Chrono- Yeah, the problem with my remote is that it will randomly stop working properly and the cursor will go down instead of right or left instead of up. That kind of thing.
Ugh. Friday meeting with DBAs. Those guys are insufferable. If I had my way I'd fire nearly all of them.
Reminds me of this one meeting where a DBA was giving me heartburn on a project and I asked a sales guy to come in and I asked him, "Hey Darren, how big is that deal you just closed? It was 2 million right?"
Darren said yes, I turned to the DBA and said, "He's making us money and you're still sitting here wasting it playing defender of the realm of your ivory tower."
That got my shit done ASAP. Sadly, I can't pull that with client's DBAs.

I just started.
I thought I would work full time and take 4 classes my first semester. Three 12 week classes and one 8 week class. I figured it would be easy since one is a bullshit class similar to yours - how to succeed in college but that's the one that is filled with the most time wasting shit that makes me hate life.
Whatever. I'm almost done. And then it's 2-3 classes from here on out.
Been sick all weekend with a sore throat, headache, and those stupid cold sores on my tongue. :-\You sure those are just cold sores? :hitler
I've been getting these things way before I lost my v-card. :doge
I get sores from certain brands of chocolate. Mars and Hershey mostly. Which sucks because I love Reese's peanut butter cups. It got so bad, I had to give up all of those kinds of chocolate since last November
Been sick all weekend with a sore throat, headache, and those stupid cold sores on my tongue. :-\They're canker sores, which can show up inside the mouth and are not the same as cold sores. They can be triggered from certain food, especially acidic food. Canker sores aren't contagious as opposed to cold sores (which are the blisters on your lips).
It's probably all of the above.I've been getting these things way before I lost my v-card. :doge
Stress? Vitamin deficiency? Have you tested for allergies? One of my friends gets cold sores from chocolate. :'(
I went to panera today to get a loaf of bread and I saw an Asian guy with massive dreadlocks. I didn't know if I could yell at him about cultural appropriation or if I'd be being racist since he was Asian, but then again he was in Panera which is the whitest place you could possibly be.(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/58/56/03/585603d34a5b1af5fad3ddc525cf1e83.jpg)
Maybe he was a transwhite. ┐(´～｀)┌
New job has the internet completely locked down. No more slacking off on GAF during downtime. But we at least have 1h for lunch, time to upgrade my data plan.
I've really been spoiled by nice movie theaters for a decade now.
It's been years since I went to one where you were checking the seat before you sat down, sticking to the floors as you walked or worried about someone pulling a gun if they got shushed. That used to be the norm.

Can i go like them all?
yay!Can i go like them all?
Well, my birth mother I've never actually met just liked one, so why not, I guess?
I've realized that certain unorganized coworkers can find out the status of their action items by trying to pin it on me. "I'm waiting on mupepe for all these things" and then I go "wtf!" and look through all my emails and give the status of each item. I think they've started doing this as their way of finding out their to do's. Or they're just fucking idiots. I'm not sure. There's items on there that were completed last year.That's abusive.
No ticketing systems for this particular work but I do give them ETA's and we have standard published turn around times on work items in my group that I am nowhere close to hitting. Rarely are any of them actually waiting on me and if they have been it's been very recently submitted to me. Like yesterday the list that was sent included things that were completed last year, things I have been asking about since last year, and things that were sent the day before. Luckily I save tons of my emails and these guys copy their boss so I just send it all back but it is frustrating.
Right now I'm working with a client who starts new threads in mail out of the blue for ongoing topics, or mixers new topics in with all the topics despite there being an older thread. Maybe this is my version of being Ben Affleck in The Accountant, but that shit drives me bonkers.
If you think that that's paranoid, during this tax season a colleague of mine replied to a message from a company's ownership that had split the chain but carbon copied the company's senior manager on the reply because the matter discussed fell under the manager's purview. Unfortunately my colleague forgot that earlier in the email chain ownership had thrown the senior manager under the bus and blamed company problems that are solely ownership's fault on the senior manager. The senior manager quit without notice via email over the weekend.Mh, nice. Good outcome for that guy.
I hate this. I'll respond back with a new title and body when they do this for each individual topic they want to discuss. I can't do that crap.No ticketing systems for this particular work but I do give them ETA's and we have standard published turn around times on work items in my group that I am nowhere close to hitting.

CCing their boss outta the gate is an amateur move, esp. if you have a history of covering your ass with your own email trail.

CC their boss with stuff like "Hey here's an update. I'll get you x by y date. Otherwise I am not aware of anything you are waiting on me for."I think this is an easy way to sum it up. I'll start using that, thank you. For me, I use a big spreadsheet to track all my action items for this particular dealio so in this spreadsheet I have dates, an organized status and everything. The worst thing is I send this out to most of these people every 2 weeks. They're just lazy as fuck.
I don't know what your group does Mupepe but I see two failures: the obvious failure of the coworkers not having a way to track the status of tasks and the failure of your management not having a way to track the status of tasks. Then there is no more room for "ask Mupepe lol".See above, I can track the status and I do distribute it periodically but they're just lazy as fuck and unorganized on their end. Unfortunately they're part of my organization but under another manager halfway across the world so all I can do is basically bitch and not much happens. fuck it
So my department and engineering shares bathrooms. Which isn't a problem except engineers like to browse their phones forever while taking a dump. And they refuse to exit a stall until the bathroom is empty. Because engineers.
Now I'm doing a shit load of annual reports so I don't have time like that. I decide to walk the extra 50 yards to accounting and see how their bathroom etiquette is.spoiler (click to show/hide)(http://imgur.com/2cjoSDn)[close]

Been tanning at the gym for like 3 months. Spent about an hour reading outside today and got a sunburn on the top of my head :shaq2:lol
He's probably going to do it again if he feels he can get away with it. I wouldn't worry about it until then at which point it wouldn't be very hard to decide what to do.Oh yeah, I've dealt with this stuff before. So I got the finger on the "fire" button already.
Had to have a stern talk with an employee and threaten his job yesterday.
Something along the lines of "I don't care if you make mistakes, I know no one is perfect and I'm pretty lenient. But if you start creating an contentious environment for my team I will kick your ass out. My team working together well is required for us to succeed, you being part of that team? Not so much."
I don't like doing that and of course I followed with the requisite "I'd like for you to be part of that team..." kind of talk. But I hate having those conversations, but it had to be done.
So this morning, after taking a shit I look down cause Oprah, and go 'wtf are my insides falling apart? is this cancer?'. Then I remember I ate half a watermelon last night.newsfeed?...pls?
I intentionally set up my Friday mornings so I can sleep in. I move all my meetings to start after 8am so I don't have to be anywhere or do anything.This is a habit I can no longer break without alcohol or somehow managing to stay up super late. Waking up at 4am for the past 3 years has made staying up past 10 difficult and any sleep I manage to get past 5 isn't really restful.
This morning my body was like "Hey, it's 4:45am. Wouldn't it be a shame if you woke up?" :goty
Going to a dog breeder today for a two hour "interview" to see if she deems us fit to get a puppy from the next litter. Its an hour drive from here. What a hassle to maybe get a dog. Goodbye sunday.Even if its a hassle, I like when breeders do this.

Airbnb cancelled on me a week before my trip to LA for E3. Airbnb sucks when it comes to finding a viable solution to my problem. The host cancelled after the cut off period that is laid out by Airbnb, hence why they are involved. They can't seem to find me a hotel for my week stay so I'm sol. Anyways I'm trying to figure it out and I don't know if I'll be going now. A big bummer as it would be my first E3 and probably last one too.
Why's that?

Lost count of how many times I've heard this:
"Hey butt, do you know any gaijin guys I could meet?"
"What kind of guy do you like?"
"Someone tall with a lot of money!"
::)
Yeah, this too. ::)Plus let's be real here, the majority of Japanese girls who are interested in foreigners expect them to be well off. I don't see how a minimum wage English teacher with a temporary visa can comfortably afford child care for instance. Or the demands and expectations of a common Japanese burando loving wife. :lol
Nevermind the expat male population is about 90% English teachers, most of whom are making the bare minimum demanded by the government to sponsor a Work Visa. That's more than most entry-level employees make, but it's not a lot. At some point they've got to go back to their home country and figure out if they can make it work… or stay in Japan and adapt to this toxic work culture (FTN).

Who needs love or IRL friends anyway.
Japan is awesome to visit. But in the long run, not ideal to live in unless you get lucky with your personal circumstance such as partner/job. It's probably better for foreign guys than gals since you're not expected to give up your social life and human interactions to become a cooking machine in a country you're not 100% familiar with. :doge
Is there any hope of Japan changing for women?
How do lonely girls go on about getting laid without seeming thirsty? :doge
I dunno about in Japan, but in Los Angeles most of my single female friends who just want action seem to not have much issue by just going out drinking. I don't know anyone who has gotten laid from Tinder in the last 4 years.

Thank goodness coffee dulls the hunger pains.
I would've kept her around longer if she didn't feel the need to text me while I was deep in the weeds on some website that needed to be finished before someone in management threw a shit fit.
And she admitted she wasn't much of a cook.
edit: Also, being highly introverted, I only have so much energy to dedicate to people. Being in a relationship and working with people all day drained me so fucking fast. It was frightening.

Real talk, being messaged endlessly is bad, but how many of those messages landed when any normal human would have been off work, but you were still hammering away at 10PM?
I go to bed early too. Usually around 8:30pm.
If I have to work 10 hours I rather work from 6am to 5pm than 9am to 8pm.
My quality of work is much higher if I get a good chunk of it done before lunchtime.
Also, beating morning traffic is great because SC traffic is generally a fucking mess most days.
I'm in the same boat as you for the plane tickets. Gonna move/leave Japan around August I hope, and the plane tickets are disgustingly expensive. The only website that had reasonable (but still expensive) tickets were bravofly.com. My regular booking site wanted fucking 50万円.
It's me + the kid. She'll be 2 years so she's required to have her own seat which costs almost the same as an adult.Just Expedia. Your site returned better results, though I'm not sure about China Eastern Airlines' uneven reputation.
I've yet to find any cheaper one-way tickets (plus I think it'll look bad to leave Japan as a foreigner with a Japanese child on a one-way ticket, lol. I will leave with the right custody papers but I still would wanna avoid that kinda trouble). Luckily there are many routes to get to my hometown, but most websites are fully booked or just too pricey. I think the cheapest I found so far is 20万円, which isn't too far from what we've had to pay in the past. More planes = more expensive. It takes 2 transits to get home. :<
Which websites have you checked on?
Just make sure you're always browsing for flights in Incognito Mode. Lots if scummy websites will jack up their prices on returning visitors. Now that Google owns all your data, simply clearing your cookies won't work.Shit, I bet that's what happened. I should have known about this trick; thanks for the heads-up.
So I'm not actually getting kicked off, but my status is now "inactive" and thus I'm not covered for anything, but I can't get any reason why or anyone to change my status, so I can't apply for a new plan, or seek any medical attention. Fuck
I'm at this weird crossroads in my life where I'm trying to decide if I should keep on going down the graphic design path or start going down the illustration & concept art path.
:larry
Are you trained as a concept artist or illustrator?Not formally. But I know if I dedicated more time and effort to my drawing ability that I could produce much better work than I do now.
Those are substantially more competitive fields than graphic design, which has a far greater number of available positions. Art Center and Cal Arts, as well as any number of schools and online centers are churning out concept artists every year.Competition doesn't skeeve me out too much. If anything it makes me better and helps me hone in on what makes me unique.
On the other hand, you need to feel actualized in your work, especially if you have a tendency to overwork.
What's your plan?

A certain university called about a directorship position which I'd be perfect for. However? it's about a 33% pay cut. In fact, most of my developers make more than this, and I'm not even talking about senior developers. Sorta surprised at such a lowball, especially for such a well known institution. It would have been nice...but yeah, I'm not doing this stressful job for a third the price.
No travel and limited commute. But sadly, still not enough in my book to take a third out of my paycheck.A certain university called about a directorship position which I'd be perfect for.

Ordered some older games off Amazon. One of them was Drakengard 2 for the PS2. The description was listed as "Condition: Used - Like New." Received the game and the case wasn't in the best shape, with the back covered in various stickers. The disc was scratched up like crazy, and no manual was included. Instead, two game manuals for Kingdom Hearts were stuffed inside the case. My favorite part about this was that one of the stickers on the back said "INSPECTED AND TESTED BY AMAZON."

I went to work this morning cuz I thought it was Monday. I was there for nearly an hour before I realized no one else was there and also it was Sunday. My excuse is that I had last week off, so I didn't have to think about what day it was for about 9 days.

Young son decided he really wants to watch the whole Star wars series. Episode I could bear. But Episode II is downright intolerable. SO many mistakes.

this story needs more details
so the voodoo worked :ohhh:dead
Speaking of Expedia, I used them to book a vacation we went on a few weeks back. Paid for the room months ago. When I went to check out, there was an almost $300 bill. $60 of this was for parking fees, but the other part was just listed as an "Expedia booking fee." I was kind of pissed off about this and stomped over to the front desk to ask what this was, and the clerk, seemingly sensing that I was not happy, kind of hesitated and then said "don't worry about it, I'll remove it from your bill." Makes me wonder if it's the kind of thing that they just throw onto bills and charge people if they don't say anything about it.

Is starting your own company/being a consultant an option and will it lower your workload?Yeah. I talked to a friend who owns his own S-Corp and he's totally like "Dude, let's partner up."
You might be down a bit cash wise when you consider losing benefits and having liability insurance but as a director who worked their way up in a field they didn't have a degree in, I'm sure your experience and connections are valuable.
At the very least, I do believe non-compete agreements are unenforceable in Cali at least.

I'd have to get my own projects but I gotta admit, I don't think it will get any better. The problem is, how do I get my own project while working for my current company? I'm so busy that I doubt I can do that. A damned if I do/damned if I don't thing.
That's rough.Sorry to hear that. 20 years is a long time though. And I'm glad to hear you guys are doing better! But I'm not surprised to hear you've seen the same problem.
Is it safe to assume that there was a lack of physical affection from your Japanese husband? That appears to be… a common problem.
Things have been much better lately, but we've been married for 20 years, and let's say the lack of physical affection in Japan has been one of the worst aspects of living there.
Starting your own company to lower workload is an insane idea.That should give you an idea of how insane the workload is right now. Honestly, I suspect it'd roughly be the same amount of work, but at least I'd have more control/time at home/time off.
That's rough.Sorry to hear that. 20 years is a long time though. And I'm glad to hear you guys are doing better! But I'm not surprised to hear you've seen the same problem.
Is it safe to assume that there was a lack of physical affection from your Japanese husband? That appears to be… a common problem.

I'm not clingy but I do love physical affection. Unfortunately it seems like he didn't care for it.
I no joke can't stop whacking off as of late. :snoop
It's probably due to all the stress I've been dealing with at work.
Probably time for me to do another "no-fap" month. But with breaks at the end of each week so I don't go crazy like last time. :doge

Well you've got more experience than me lol, don't think there would be any harm.
I should've stayed with her. She looks so good now. :noahThis was like me going Facebook official with that Latina back in January.
Only 10x more severe and potentially life altering. :doge
Nah cause he's been banging her for more than a week.
Wrap it before you tap it.
If you need an extra groomsman, I'm legitimately awesome at giving toasts.and I'm legitimately awesome at getting toasted. We heard you need groomsmen, well here we are
Atra, practically any girl you ever date is going to text you while you're at work.

On Thursday my latinx ladyfriend called me late in the evening saying she was coming over and had something important to talk to me about. I said sure ok. Sat down and contemplated the future of my life as a father. I assumed she was pregnant....figured when we seemingly had period sex, maybe it was just irregular bleeding or something. Instead she made me go through all that shit just to come over and...ask if I would go to dinner with her and her sister, who was in town.Yeah....what's that, about 14 weeks or so?
:mindblown
We've been good about our "no meeting family, we're just having fun" policy, although I did briefly meet her grandma a few weeks ago at an event. Anyway I agreed, took a sigh of relief and said I thought you were going to say something else.
Her: What?
Me: That you were pregnant
Her: And what would you have said if I was...?
Me: I guess I'd ask if you want to get married lol...
It seemed like a good idea at the time. It wasn't a good idea brehs
:dead
Her heart seemingly melted into puddy and she got all emotional (in a happy/impressed way).
:dead
The extent of my fuck up became clear on Friday night at dinner, when her sister said "so I heard you might be joining the family soon. Just kidding."
:picard
She told her sister and god knows who else. Send mixed signals to family oriented Latina brehs.
:brazilcry
Finally stopped dragging my ass and finished up my first cover letter. It's sorta customized for the company I'm applying to.
If anyone has any experience with these I wouldn't mind firing off a PM to get some feedback. :)

Pretend like you're gay. "Isn't it obvious now why I was so interested in your ass?"
Never, ever trust an engineer when they tell you something is legal.
Semi inconvenience, semi triumph. I stepped in a gopher hole while investigating a sound in my yard last night and almost ripped my foot in half. You know that sick feeling when a joint is moving in a way that it shouldn't? Instead I just barely managed to pivot out of it before permanent damage was done and ended up with a mild sprain.
:whew

But to be honest, if you're calling someone who comitted suicide a 'piece of shit' there's probably not any particular reason that will satisfy your stupid ass.
Today's my bday, but most people know it now as 'the day Robin Williams killed himself'. Fuck him, he had a family and money, he had no reason to kill himself. Piece of shit.Happy birthday! Gonna pretend I didn't see the rest of what you wrote though.
His life is infinitely better than mine and he pussed out. Fuck him and anyone that morns his stupid piece of shit ass.
Came home to find Nami trapped in a bunch of computer wires. No idea how long she was stuck. Feel awful. She seems OK though.

Just got a 14% raise today on top of a 10% raise 6 months ago. The trick is that I entered a new industry and so I'm way underpaid compared to my peers with decade-plus experience even though my work is at least on par. But I'm happy that I broke the $50k barrier even if that isn't all that much in San Jose. I think my only way ahead is to refine old processes to bring massive efficiency gains and basically become an irreplaceable person at the company, both giving me a very decent salary and allowing me to bulk up my resume without needing a dime-a-dozen post-grad degree.
Tell me if I'm being crazy, but from what I've seen it seems totally doable for a noob to learn SQL and Python to a level of doing machine learning. To me, it seems like the best thing for my career is to incorporate real data analysis into our processes. For reference, I work at a billion dollar water utility where my superiors were amazed what I could do with pivot tables and dashboards. So I already know they see me as a person with a lot of "data analysis" potential but to actually go up in salary level, I'd have to do some real shit where I can show exactly what I'm changing.
Also, because I have to vent about it somewhere:spoiler (click to show/hide)I'm still an agency temp after 9 months and my manager actually tried to create an entirely new position for me. I nailed the interview apparently but lost the position to someone who had 10 years of experience in the company in a completely different department.
It seems our hiring decisions are all made by a hiring committee that looks at the interviewer's notes and compares that with the resume to reach their unbiased conclusion where they always side with whoever they can afford that has the highest experience. That just seems totally stupid and explains why my department often has permanent employees quit in the first couple months as the job doesn't match their expectations. I can't imagine how much waste is created by all that.[close]
But I digress, at least my raise will cover my student loan and car payments.

Speaking of files, iirc iOS just started supporting gifs in the gallery. At least it never worked for me before (it still won't play them on the phone but it works if you upload somewhere).

I decided to upgrade my audio receiver when I got a great deal on a high end unit on clearance. As soon as I hooked it up I could tell it easily outclassed my current speakers and I started looking at upgrades. My god. Audiophiles are insane. I've basically been reading about speakers for 2 days straight and I don't think I'm any closer to making a decision.

Their suggestions are really a mixed bag. Their high end speaker recommendations are entry level high end and they really said that getting 12 gauge wires gets you better sound quality but aren't even factoring in distance or ohms :dogeI decided to upgrade my audio receiver when I got a great deal on a high end unit on clearance.

Lol I felt the same thing when trying to choose some new headphones. It's like... "where does it end?!":lol i wish i could do that. But when i went to the stores i did hear a difference between them, especially when playing different content so that's where I'm driving myself insane.
Thankfully I have trash ears and picked the cheapest option possible lol. Though I'll probably buy Bragi's wireless earbuds when I get some spare cash.
Just pick a price limit per, and then go with the one that has a style you like.I was actually thinking this until i also started looking at ones used that brought in even higher en and more beautiful.

My son wanted a pet rabbit. We got a pet rabbit.
My son went back to school now that summer break is over. The rabbit escapes its cage every hour or so, makes a tremendous racket while it does this. I work at home. This is distracting よ。
I've got two lectures this afternoon and, though I'm always happy once the lecture starts, I am nervous as hell beforehand. My neck and shoulders are aching, and I have a headache. Waiting for advil to kick in and manage shit I should be able to sort through regular stress coping mechanisms.
I'm also tired every evening, very early, and am worried that fatigue might be a sign of some bigger health problem.

You take the cage to the nearest wooded area, open the door and walk away. Tell your son the rabbit escaped again and you can't find him.
Rabbits are terrible long term pets.

I've provided cover letters even when my résumé is being handed directly to HR by the person telling them they want me on their team. It's just professional courtesy.

Just had an incident with a bleeding from my tonsil and noticed a pretty big mass above it, hopefully gonna see an ENT tomorrow.
Get your dick out and pee all over the deck, problem solved!
Juuuuuuuust figured out, after years of falling asleep in class, that competently taught material makes me sleepy, but people who speak badly, aren't prepared, and present poorly make me so angry that I pay attention enough to criticize their shitty efforts. Hence: I am engaged with the material. :-\This was actually brought up in a leadership course I took at work not too long ago when they were going over learning styles. I always knew I had trouble learning from lectures, but didn't realize I was actually engaged when I didn't like the person and would criticize and make fun of them in my mind.
I'm going to have to train myself off this habit, now that I'd noticed it.
you guyyyyyss shuuuuuttttt upppppppp

Last week my boss mentioned that I would be getting a promotion and showed me what my new salary would be, which worked out to a 17% increase. This week I was told that it'll only be 8.5% because of some bullshit our HR director said which doesn't really make sense. I'm still happy for the increase, but I'm annoyed by the bullshit.I'd be pissed that my boss was giving me numbers he hadn't gotten approved yet.

Got my new audio setup, but now everything is making me paranoid that something is wrong with it. I'm driving myself insane. Last night i was watching The Vietnam War and explosions would cause a crackle. I had to pause everything to check all the wiring and it was still happening. It wasn't until i played it on my phone and laptop this morning that i realized the crackle was in the source audio. Now i was navigating through the Xbox one menu and it has a slight crackle when changing tabs or apps. I started to go nuts again until i realized if it was doing the same thing through my tv speakers then its not my speakers or receiver. Sure enough it is doing the same thing with the tv speakers. After googling around its apparently been an issue since like 2014 with the x1. I never fucking noticed until now.
Damn it. And now i can't stop thinking about my sub. I was sure 2 8's would be good but now I keep wondering how good a 15 would sound.:phil

And every time the bass goes off and i hear a rattle I rewind so i can track it down and fix whatever it is. So far its all crap on my shelves and stuff. And of course i wired up everything myself!
I got everything last Wednesday and I'm sure I've calibrated this fucking system 15 times. Toe in the speakers. Recalibrate. Put them back forward. Recalibrate. Move them 3 inches forward. Recalibrate. Move the couches two inches left. Recalibrate.
Got slightly intoxicated and somehow got reminded about a 7th grade party I was awkward at and now I'm nostalgic for it, what the fuck. And somehow early 2000s pop-rock is playing now too. Ugh.7th grade disco was one of the coolest things, especially because this song was popular when I was in 7th grade and was played all the time. Almost 20 years later and it's still cool!

Shoulda got the one 15 fam. Put it in a discreet corner and look up the sweet spot crossover range with your other speakers. Then bless up.

This house is over 100 years old and perfect for enjoying rain on the window. But last night there was a storm and it sounded like the windows in my bedroom were gonna burst. Haven't slept well because I kept waking up. It was real fuckin loud. 😭As a kid, I used to live in a house with old, draughty windows. Light rain would sound like someone was crinkling a plastic bag. The one time I caught it I was genuinely afraid to get out of bed and inspect what was making the noise, since I was convinced it came from the corner of the room I couldn't see.
Aaight I weathered the storm, I'm gonna go fuck a bottle of shampoo and clip my nailsThat can lead to a different kind of burn you won't get rid of so easily.

Anecdotal I know, but high sierra has been a disaster on every computer I have tried to install it on. Bugs, crashes, software incomparability. Had to completely wipe and recover my sister's laptop. Shit was not ready for prime time. I'd argue the same for ios11, nothing but problems on my iphone. Worst os updates ever.
I would have gone. That sounds like the type of party i wish my friends or relatives would have.Same, always wish I had friends like that IRL.
(https://i.imgur.com/3LcgAU3l.png)How did it turn out? I never go to the first hour of a party. It's usually pretty empty.
I've got a friend who tries to ruin her relationship everytime she gets drunk and I have to convince her not to blow up her life. As repayment for my amazing advice she sends me nudes.
It had more to do with what was in the email and not so much the blue light coming off of my screen.Didn't get any REM sleep last night. Uh oh...
Shouldn't have read my work email before going to bed. That's for damn sure.

I had a co-worker do this frequently. When I eventually realized that he just wanted to talk, I'd get up, continue chatting while walking to the water cooler, but then walk back to his desk and say, "Cool! Hey, I gotta get back to it…"
He never realized that he was being escorted away.
I don't. I'd cut a bitch for escorting me from the cooler.Aw, honey… for you'd I'd reveal the scotch hiding in the filing cabinet.

Idk what this means but I've been having frequent nightmares of being stuck in Japan again with no way to go home, and it's been really unpleasant because my ex is always there to argue or yell at me. I've been doing really well mentally after moving and can safely say I'm not depressed anymore, why am I having these nightmares then? I don't regret moving, and I don't feel bad for doing it either. Is my mind trying to punish me for finally being at peace?

A big chunk of the last two months at work have been spent upgrading everyone's PCs from Windows 7 to Windows 10. One thing that is incredible minor, and yet still continues to produce a large volume of questions on, are Citrix Receiver prompts. You would think that something asking you to enter your password and save it would be self-explanatory, but nope...tons of phone calls from people asking "WHY DOES THIS KEEP COMING UP?!?!?!?!" all the time. They always seem so surprised that there is an option to SAVE THE FUCKING PASSWORD. It's literally the only option on the prompt that comes up. You can't miss it...but somehow 99% of the people do.

I'm friends with the "dumb girl" from my high school on FB mainly because she posts the dumbest imaginable shit, and she's all in on flat earth. Also: 4 kids from 4 dads, if you're looking for some dumb white girl booty action, Mups.
SO I shared this with Chrono, but I had completely unexpected open heart surgery about 3 1/2 weeks ago. I went into urgent care thinking I had inhaled a lot of wildfire smoke on a long run, but ended getting admitted to the ER with mitral valve regurgitation. One of my hearts valve’s busted and my lung was filling with blood. No pain or anything, just felt like I had a bad cold. Spent a week in the hospital before coming home where I can’t drive, can’t lift more than ten pounds, etc. until November 8th. Aside from that my heart is super healthy, but gonna have to do cardiac rehab and relearn how to run. No marathons for me for a while. Crazy.

I'd be enjoying myself a lot more if it were just the regulars here making fun of gaf's current state.
Holy shit gundam, glad you're recovering well. I assume you're good and have people, but feel free to hit me up if any medication questions come up for you

I want to shave but have a big zit in near my chin.

Fucked up my sleep schedule to follow forum drama. :stahp
I’ve really never understood what’s so bad about just using safari on iOS :yeshrugAbsolutely nothing wrong with it. And it keeps your history, searches, etc. in sync with your Mac, as well as using Hand Off to continue reading whatever's open in your browser. That's pretty convenient.
As a web guy, Safari could suck a dick... until the last 1-2 versions where they're actually implementing standards other browsers have had for years.
It being tied to OS releases is still an insanely idiotic decision, though, and not being able to run alternate browser engines on iOS is some real anticompetitive BS.
I'm in full on zombie mode. I have today to recover, but given my poor impulse control...Fucked up my sleep schedule to follow forum drama. :stahp

Every person ever at my company, when they say they're leaving, gets a counter offer matching their new salary.

I didn't get a counter offer.

And then when I took over I was like "Nope. Not doing that. If they want more money they can ask, but I'm going to take them at their word, say thanks for the time and see you." Apparently some people were pissed that they didn't get a counter offer. One confronted me afterwards, I told him in my mind, if you went through all the trouble to get another offer you were comfortable taking, why wouldn't you take it? So don't take it personally.

Thanks for the kind words you guys. And you're absolutely right.The devil you know is always more tempting to tolerate than the unknown. You've got this. You're a hard working and driven individual. Don't fall prey to fear!
That said, today was my last day, and my feeling as I was leaving was pure regret. It's rare you only feel one emotion so purely, but that's what it was. I could hear my subconscious whispering, "Take it all back, don't sign your exit form, it's not too late."
I powered through purely because I know in a month I'll look back on this as the right decision. But that logic only just barely trumped my emotions today.
Thanks for the kind words you guys. And you're absolutely right.I've had that with the first few companies I've left and honestly, when I leave this one I'll probably feel the same way again. Change can be terrifying. But really every change I've made has bee great so far. Just trust your judgement, you made your decisions for reasons, trust they're good ones.

Dude, hope it's ok.
My cat did the same thing and ran under a shelf on three legs and stayed there a good long while. I gave him some food and waited til morning. Next day, he was as good as ever. Hope that's the case here.
Tonsils have felt weird/swollen going on 3 days now. I'm not sick though. Gonna try to get them checked out tomorrow or Tuesday.Dude, hope it's ok.

Listening to coworkers seriously discuss that divine intervention helped the Astros win the World Series.
Houston received 51 inches of rain during Harvey. Final game was 5-1. OMG
I mean, what does this say about God's power? I guess it's cool that he can control a baseball game. Too bad he can't control the fucking weather.
i never did get around to washing my butthole
Made plans all week for a romantic camping trip with the wife. Wake up, after months of the valley being bone dry, it's raining shittons.Make love in the rain. :uguu
I dropped my iPhone on the asphalt while jogging late August. I was lucky the display only had some minor scratches.Yeah, when you've got a new iPhone, it's worth the $100 for the additional "bonehead" coverage. When I was buying my first iPhone, I saw so many people in the Apple Store who had washed it, gone swimming with it, rolled a car over it, left it on top of their car… and the clerks just replaced it straight up for anyone who had AppleCare Plus.
But today I dropped it again at home and even tho it fell squarely on its back, those minor scratches developed into some mean fissures. Touchscreen still works but I'm sure the next drop will completly destroy the screen.
Now I wish I'd coughed up the bucks for AppleCare+ :-\
That’s not true, they asked nicely. Wash ur butt

you could get a squaretrade policy and just file a claim down the line. Also fwiw I've run over my iPhone with my car before and despite being decimated the touchscreen still worked, albiet this was a 3g or 4 or something
Wow, throwback. It's been forever since I've listened to Del. (This post is also my minor inconvenience)That’s not true, they asked nicely. Wash ur butt

When did "Acoustic Music" come to mean "boring music"?
I decided to check out the acoustic music scene the last 2 weeks and it's just people taking songs playing them 2x as slow and 2x as dramatic. WTF?
Maybe I should start an acoustic band to set it back right.

Have to take a (relatively) short notice business trip to India. Company policy is limiting my flight options to either getting back from a 23 hour flight at 4pm on Dec 23rd or 7pm on Dec 23rd. :doge Technically the 4pm is out of policy but I'm going to see if I can get some sort of exception because that one is also on Emirates Airlines and I'd take that over Turkish Airlines.I know this wont work for you. But I'd just refuse to go. Typically if there's a travel policy that's making it unfair they'll come around. And if not, you'll get fired so you don't have to go anyway.
I'm confused. Aren't you living in Japan? Or have for a while?
Yeah I had a play with duolingo a while ago. Doesn't seem particularly helpful other than learning a few sentences for surviving on a trip or something.¡Muchos arigatos!
There's a site that teams you up with a native speaker, so that you learn their language and they learn yours. Can't remember the name.

I heard there is something you can do to freeze your credit, something you might want to consider if you arent using your us account very much. It makes it so you or others cant open up new lines of credit in your name while the freeze is on.

Had to go pee at work so went to use the urinal as usual.:rofl
Getting my stream on when lo and behold a little fly gently swoops down and lands inside the urinal.
Being a red blooded man I naturally take aim and give the little guy a spray.
He kinda stands there for a second, then looks up and flies into my pants

TVC 15's new avatar makes me throw up a little in my mouth
I dreamt the weirdest shit tonight, again.
I was at work and there was some kind of nuclear disaster. But I was busy and when I got out of the building no one was there and everything was deserted and I had to walk home alone through nuclear fallout. And when I finally got home, my pregnant girlfriend (I don't have one) immediately went into labor. I wasn't exactly thrilled about that, though I think I was trying to feign enthusiasm for the baby. But then she kept on popping out more of them and after the fifth one I was ready to go out again. Thankfully I woke up then.
I hate my fucking dreams :snoop Though normally I don't really remember them. Just an unpleasant aftertaste.

time to transcend your mortal inevitability as a fuel for change and manifest the reality you want to experience when you close your eyes.You're right. I'm sending that email.
its not an easy path and most people upon hearing about it are like "nah fuck that".
Nothing terrible. It was back when i was gullible enough to buy into the supplement shit for lifting so i took all sorts of crap i found out later did nothing.
I've been having nightmares about basically losing it at work. Since the downturn everyone that survived has been squeezed in different ways and many have cracked in different ways. My dreams are about me cracking I guess. I've had two nightmares this week. The first was me writing up a response email saying exactly what I really thought. One of those things you do, but then you think twice and delete it or reword it. Except I sent it and all I could gather was that it was particularly terrible. The rest of the dream was dealing with the inevitable political crap from it. The 2nd dream was that somehow porn pictures ended up in an Excel file I sent to my VP and then when I tried to explain what happened (what kind of explanation I could have I don't know) I was showing her something on my phone and all I got was popups of porn pictures which made her think I was fucking with her.
I think I deal with it pretty well when I'm awake and probably improving actually. I used to not be able to shut off. There was a 16 month period where I would go home, open my laptop and basically work until it was time to go to bed. I've learned to draw lines where I tell myself that I'm just not going to think about it when I get home and leave it at work.I've been having nightmares about basically losing it at work.

antibiotics won't help but here's some anyway
I had an ulcer in the back on my throat [on my uvula!] for about the past week. It made my throat constantly burn and then hurt like fire whenever I swallowed food or drank anything that wasn't lukewarm water. Went to the clinic about it after a few days and the lady was like "Yep, that's an ulcer, antibiotics won't help but here's some anyway" and then she sent me away, didn't even give me any opioids or anything. I'm mostly over it now, but I've still got a lingering cough and nasal congestion [presumably unrelated], but that's at least something I can deal with.Dude, I used to get that every late fall. I HATED it. There's NOTHING you can do for it other than just wait. I'm sorry man. Hang in there. It sucks.

A videogame I enjoy immensely despite its flaws is getting ravaged on- and offline. Some people are genuinely angry at some design decisions.
If I was younger, it'd be time to lube up and enter the fray over at /r/etc to smite the nonbelievers with 4chan memes.
Not feeling it, though. Playing the game in question is more fulfilling. I'm still mildly inconvenienced by people being so immensely and aggressively annoyed at things I enjoy. Like, chillax, peeps. It's just a game. 8)

Was by myself at work for most of the morning and then my co-worker, who called out for the like the fifth Monday in a row yesterday, comes in looking sick.I love the five minute non-stop vomit stream
He got progressively worse over the next two hours and this culminated with him suddenly vomiting up while talking to someone on the phone. Fortunately he puked into a trash can at his desk, but it was this nonstop stream of puke for a good five minutes. Then he gets up and goes and pukes in another trash can. Felt bad for him and he went over after this.
The "inconvenience" here was me sitting in a small office room with a hideous puke smell. I told my boss and he said someone was coming to clean up, but they took fucking too long. Finally they came and things were back to normal, but it was pretty hard to each lunch after that. :yuck Was glad I waited an hour or so before even trying to eat something.

I don't know why, but the mental picture made my night.
Was by myself at work for most of the morning and then my co-worker, who called out for the like the fifth Monday in a row yesterday, comes in looking sick.
He got progressively worse over the next two hours and this culminated with him suddenly vomiting up while talking to someone on the phone. Fortunately he puked into a trash can at his desk, but it was this nonstop stream of puke for a good five minutes. Then he gets up and goes and pukes in another trash can. Felt bad for him and he went over after this.
The "inconvenience" here was me sitting in a small office room with a hideous puke smell. I told my boss and he said someone was coming to clean up, but they took fucking too long. Finally they came and things were back to normal, but it was pretty hard to each lunch after that. :yuck Was glad I waited an hour or so before even trying to eat something.

Great Fucking C'thulhu, you don't hang out in that environment. You tell your boss you're unable to work while breathing vomit particles, invite them to call you when facilities has managed to clean things up. :-X

Right before I was walking out of bathroom, this dude lets out a moan like he was standing in front of Demi's mom and not urinal. I leave the bathroom and two people in the hallway eye me. I scurried back to my desk with a shame I didn't earn.
Dosukebe, what's your job and why do you get to just leave whenever you want all the time?
UPS has been shit for me too since Black Friday. It took two weeks to deliver blu rays I ordered from Best Buy and they put the same BS weather delay on them.
Anyone ever use a Neti pot? I’m thinking about getting one after work because my sinuses are STUFFED with thick mucus
Anyone ever use a Neti pot? I’m thinking about getting one after work because my sinuses are STUFFED with thick mucus
9:53 AM: Package out for delivery
10:15 AM: Get call from UPS telling me that there was a weather delay yesterday (bullshit) and the package will be dropped off shortly
12:00 PM: Get in the car to go get lunch and see the UPS truck at the complex across the road
3:00 PM: Promised delivery time has passed
3:52 PM: Still no package
3:56 PM: Hear a truck and go up the window- Watch the Mailman pull up and chuck a (different) box at my door as hard as he can.
:dead
At this point, fuck 'em. I got a backup gift ready to go.
I am convinced that the driver hates me or someone in this complex at this point. :doge
that driver is the disaster :lol
That delivery driver is going to be fingering your tight asshole in the near future while repeatedly whispering in your ear, "Your package has arrived per the instructions":smug

my personal struggle:
doctor calls, tells me i have to give her a sample of my own shit.
i go to the clinic
get two tiny vials more fitting for blood samples
ask "how am i supposed to shit in this?" :confused
notice a tiny plastic shovel in my vial
nurse tells me that i have to use the plastic shovel and dig out six scopes of shit from my toilet and put in the two plastic vials. And then bring my shit back to the clinic.
nurse laughs and wishes me a merry christmas

When you're hungry and feeling like eating somewhere tasty that's like 20-30 mins away but there's no one you can just hit up locally to go eat with so you try to muster the energy to get in the car and drive off alone for a while just for some good eats vs just being lazy and making a sandwhich :doge

What’s that?
Actually now that I'm back, I was thinking there's also another plus to actually being at a restaurant and that's being around actual people, which is kind of nice.
And I'm going to make a version of that theoretical app from my last post. Like I'm going to start a meetup group called Food Friends which has a meetup once a week where you show up and meet strangers who like to eat. Then you can join into a LINE group chat for the group and anytime anyone in the group wants to eat somewhere and is looking for an eating buddy they can post in the group chat "Hey, anyone wanna join for X tonight at Y"? and everyone part of the chat will get the message and can reply if they want to join. The purpose of the weekly in person meetup is just so after you join the chat, you know who these people are posting in the group chat and if there's someone that weirds you out or you don't like, then just don't join if they're asking.
The goal of it is to make a safe, private, non-dating way for people to have a large group of friends in the area that they can hit up for eating and see if anyone is down. Sorta like how high school friends used to be.

4 days into the new year and practicing new pieces I came across the first piece of the year that I couldn't get through a sizeable chunk of by just sight reading. Trying to play it even at a slow tempo sounded like I was experimenting with atonal music. It was disheartening. I stopped for the night then. But yesterday I popped out my pencil and started mapping the piece out and breaking that bitch down. It's gonna be rough, but I'm going to break that piece and make it into music.annihilate that fucker

Just pooped so bad I threw up. Second time this hear I think.

I'm sure this is how this rabbit hole begins, being fuck started by a sense of initial ignorance.
Ok so I’m looking to buy some entry level headphones similar to these. Most of my current listening of any kind is on my home theater set up driven by a Denon X4300H. I was thinking that I’d like a headset I could hook up to this receiver occasionally so I can listen to music or watch movies and play games and my “normal” volume even late at night. Is it out of the question for this receiver to drive those headphones? I assume this is a stupid question but I know nothing about headphones.

I'd be really surprised if a $900+ receiver couldn't drive a 300ohm headphone.Gracias a los dos.
I dunno, man. Sometimes people just change, or become lazy/take others for granted.Oh totally. But this guy was always like that. I knew him before they got married. So it's not a surprise.
I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 598's which have a relatively low impedance so you don't need as much power to drive. They work pretty well with a phone:

Either way, totally the wrong thing to say. I have shame.
Wife's friend is having relationship problems. And she came over and saw me playing with my kids while we were cleaning up. And she sighed and said, "I wish MY husband would help around the house like that. I don't know how some women are so lucky to have men that help like that."
Without thinking I blurted out, "It's simple. They pick men that will help around the house."
Wife gave me the >:( face her friend the :brazilcry face.
Yeah, not the best thing to say.

I kept getting vague responses when I tried googling last night where it wasn't really addressed on a technical level and kind of brushed aside - but I couldn't tell whether it was because it was silly to think it could or silly to think it couldn't... I guess I know which.
Any recommendations on an all around pair? I started thinking i would be nice to have something that I could take with me on long flights to drown out noise, and also something I could hook up to my home receiver to get the Atmos and hi fi music experience even while my wife is asleep.
It kind of seems like there isn't. I understand to play off my phone I'll probably need a portable amp and that's okay with me. But it seems like open back is the best for a good soundstage at home while sound leak would kill it for a flight.
I think I'm going to end up with two pairs :lol

Struggling with a class assignment. Its for a machine learning class and I'm in the machine learning group. Feel kind of embarrassed. Doesn't help that I haven't done real math in years.what's the assignment?
Its on gradient estimatorsif there's anything in particular with that you need help on, let me know :)
Sure, can you tell me what a gradient is? Also what an estimator is? And finally what a gradient estimator is?Hopefully this is in jest :P Picture a mountain terrain, aka a function f: ℝ2 -> ℝ. There are classes of problems where we're less interested in knowing what f is and mostly interested in what ∇f is, its gradient. What is a gradient? Pretend you are standing at some arbitrary point (x, y) on the mountain. The gradient of f at that point is the direction one would walk in to get to the top. You could take any path to the top of course but the path that always follows the gradient is the shortest such path (to the local maximum). This is also actually equivalent to saying that the gradient is always perpendicular to the level curves (e.g. the elevation lines on a topographical map.) So if you have the gradient (even if you don't have the original function), you can always "get to the top", optimizing the value of the function.

Estimators are approximations of functions. The functions are messy (because of error and observation), the estimators are clean...er. A regression is an estimation of a continuous function (like a line or a quadratic). A classifier is an estimator of a discretely valued function (e.g. the set of objects seen is either a person, a cat, or a dog). A Kalman Filter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalman_filter) is an estimator for a vector valued time varying function + process noise using only sensor measurements with known (or guessed :( ) statistical error. Monte Carlo is an estimator for a single value! Etc.
So a gradient estimator is... :)spoiler (click to show/hide)a class of techniques you are learning for figuring out how to optimize any function at any given point without knowing what the actual function is. thus you don't even have to estimate the function, just its slope.[close]
Why are gradient estimators important? For Stochastic approximation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_approximation), aka approximation of time varying processes. Think of a physics simulation. A program simulating physics takes states and then applies a derivative to it to change its position, temperature etc. For a really complicated simulation, if you have an estimation for how it will change at any point in the state space, you can simulate it despite not knowing the underlying (complicated) mathematical model.
Mint chocolate chip is the best usage of the flavor "mint."
It's almost as good a flavor combo as pineapple on pizza.

Got invited to a business dinner yesterday. I typically don't like business dinners, but I dislike eating alone even more so I agreed. But one guy showed up that I just can't stand because he's the antithesis of me. Arrogant as hell, selfish, condescending, back-biting, but he's not rude about it. You just sorta have to put up with it, and let him talk about how great he is and how there'd be no company without him, and everyone is an idiot should be grateful and respectful of him. I spend an hour eating suffering through this and we finally finish dinner. I get up to leave and drive the 20 minutes to my hotel and my coworker, who knows I can't stand this guy and can't stand him himself, says, "Hey Antithesis, your hotel is pretty close to Puppy's. Why don't you ride with him so you don't have to take an Uber." :hitler
Dude was like "Great idea! Let's go Puppy."
I'm totally gonna have to find a way to get back at him for that.

Bought a pair of Apple's Lightning connector earphones, because my son was borrowing my standard jack ones. I need a mic-equipped pair for work, so this precluded them being useful to him. I think i mentioned here, first thing was my wife borrowed them, but only once.Not sure if it applies to Japan but Apple is offering $30 battery replacements at Apple Stores in the US because of all the bad press they were getting. I think it applies to iPhone 6 and up over here.
My iPhone 6 battery life is straight garbage. Not on the same unbelievable tier of the old 4S, but bad. I bought a case with a built-in battery. That's' helped, but it turns out the case doesn't do pass-through for the Lightning, so the Lightning headset doesn't work with the case. I switch out for my old no-battery MagPul case so I can use the headset.
I go to a downtown meeting on Monday, turns out they'd moved the time from 11AM to 2:30PM, so I've got to entertain myself. My phone battery is dying. I buy a charger battery at a convenience store. It adds 30% to the charge, then the phone says the "accessory may not be recognized" and stops charging.
After returning home, I switch back to the the battery-case, only now the phone charge is draining faster than ever. The screen may also be popping out a bit, which was an "infected" battery last time it happened.
I may be getting a new phone sooner than I can afford it. :-\

This will be my first real winter excursion and I foresee me going on a clothes shopping spree when I get there and freeze my balls offWhen you were talking about it I thought you were going to St. Petersburg or something, not friggin' Siberia! Make sure to share pictures with us :S
So you basically have no self-control, is what you're saying.There are a few things I can't control myself with, chocolate and certain candy is one of them. No ragrets. :heartbeat

for fuck's sake its impossible to buy a small bit of a chocolate at a supermarket
every chocolate bar is at least 100g and up, which means 550+ calories or higher
i just want something small, like half of that would be nice
only thing i can find is a ben & jerry ice cream sandwich that goes for 220 calories and its pretty decent but i'd prefer a chocolate bar
Today, I moved so little that I only burned 1g of fat in total. And what little moving I did, was mostly between couch, bed, and kitchen.
Diet's going well. :doge
...It's just too fucking cold outside. :-\

It would have taken you less time and effort to reach for it instead of writing this post. Just sayin'Do not underestimate the allure of a soft warm bed, and conversely, the horror of leaving it, if even only for a second. This is the minor inconvenience thread, and as far as I was concerned that issue was yesterday evening's minor inconvenience that was not a struggle. Checkmate, atheists.

I see the truck come by and the guy gives me this look and hands me the package, then stops and watches me walk off after I put the package inside and went for a walk.
Edit:me and my second amendment rights will be there :american

I'm a non confrontational kind of person, but honestly I have a anger issue that is easily exacerbated by shithead people. I don't really plan on changing where I walk, but I now will always have to look out and be a little extra cautious as I travel down that road.
What would you do in my shoes?
I’m like you in this regard, I think. I wouldn’t change my routine unless there was an incident on a different day.
Love you, G. Miss you. Really.
Hot Shots gifYES to this kind of fight!
What you done Shostakovich? You started a war in Sunnyvale!Wouldn't be the first time. I can't help myself from shooting pellet guns at those Google vans. :noah
Great, the people upstairs who normally fuck like crazy are fighting. I didn't think I'd say this but can you two please go back to fucking?Are you my invisible roommate? There's this Polish couple upstairs who sound like they're actually murdering each other when they fight. Or maybe that's their way of fucking each other. :doge
im guessing they didnt forget, they just ran out of shit and tried to get away with selling you that :pacspit
it seems unlikely to forget shit when its basically like an assembly line
Haha speaking of McDonald's fails, a few days ago I went through the drive through and when I went to pick up my food the lady was holding a soft serve ice cream cone (that I hadn't ordered). She held it out to me and said "This is for you since you were so polite ordering your food!" There was easily at least a foot of ice cream balanced precariously on the tiny little cone. There was no way I would be able to drive one handed holding this monstrosity, and I couldn't put it in my cupholders because it was so top heavy it would have tipped over at the slightest movement. There was no way I would be able to get home without spilling it all over myself and my car. So I had to say "Uh..no thank you." She kept holding it out to me and said "It's free!" so again I had to decline. Her smile went away and she said ok, and retracted her arm back into the window. Then, still holding this ice cream cone she used her free arm to hand me my drink. Then my bag of food. It was very awkward. I drove home feeling bad about ruining her act of kindness.
For the life of me I can not get bed sheets to stay on. This has been an issue for 25+ years. Fitted, standard, any size. Normal bed, water bed, futon. Within 2-3 days I will have them half off.I dunno, you could just be moving too much when sleeping. Generally I find anything but fitted to fall off. It depends on your bed too though. If your bed allows it, try buying a fitted sheet for deep mattress beds and tuck it under both mattresses.
Since a couple of the days, when I click the 'new' button on thebore threads I don't get redirected to the actual new posts but some seemingly arbitrary position on the page I last viewed. Anybody else having a similar problem?

Atra so why exactly did you break it up with her so quickly? Fear of commitment?Inexperience, fear of commitment, fear of giving up all my free time/alone time (I need that time to recharge), fear of falling behind at my already demanding job, fear of getting sucked into a codependent relationship
I can't imagine it would happen to me but I have no experience so who knows what the fuck will happen.

If she texts me again in the future should I try to offer some sort explanation and/or a better apology then just "I freaked out. Sorry."? :dogeIf nothing else, that would be a good start. But yeah, being honest and open is the key. It won't always work out but when it does :lawd
Fuck human beings.
If someone had told me sooner that beard softener is a thing, I'd be up for receiving oral more often.Wait, you aren't up for that? I don't think I've ever met a woman who wasn't up for receiving oral. I thought it was usually idiot men who were failing to give it that were the problem.
If she texts me again in the future should I try to offer some sort explanation and/or a better apology then just "I freaked out. Sorry."? :dogeConsider sending her that without waiting for her to text you. If you feel bad, you can initiate the apology instead of waiting for her to provide the opportunity.

Anyone else ever run into an honest to god neo nazi in the flesh?I went to school with a skinhead. He didn't start showing up in the full get-up until a year in, so me and a buddy actually developed a friendly relationship. To him, I was 'one of the good ones'. :doge
Was in Philly last weekend with my girlfriend (she treated me to a weekend stay as a V-day gift), and we decided to go check out the hotel pool. It was a Hilton on the Delaware River, a very nice spot... while at the pool, we got into a conversation with a guy and girl, both covered in tattoos. They said they were from the area but occasionally will stay overnight in the city. We asked for recommendations for places to check out, and then I noticed the guy had an SS logo and a swastika tattoo.
Creeped me the fuck out - then I had to quickly figure out how to cut the convo short and get the 2 of us out of there. Even more uncomfortable is that my girlfriend and I both frequently get mistaken for being Jewish, and to top it off we have thick LI accents.

I’ve never felt as old as I did today when dying my hair to cover greys.but why? a few grey hairs are sexy. My wife has a few right at her forehead hairline and she just looks like she is becoming Rogue :drool
Yeah.... but I have this natural blonde stripe on my hairline which is now hidden under my bangs. It makes my hairline look higher/thin when I wear a ponytail and I guess I got old and paranoid enough to give a shit about it. Especially I noticed a handful of greys coming through there as well. Not quite ready to embrace it all, maybe once I hit 40, idk. Greys are sexy as fuck on guys though. :droolI’ve never felt as old as I did today when dying my hair to cover greys.but why? a few grey hairs are sexy.

Minor Inconveniences: :reeeee Edition
Warning: RAMBLING ABOUT BUYING VIDYA
Was looking at the Bayonetta Switch thread on RE a few weeks ago and saw someone mention that the Japanese Bayonetta Non-Stop Climax Edition came with a physical copy of Bayonetta 1. The collector-nerd in me needed this. Problem is, pre-orders were long-closed which meant paying ridiculous scalper prices ($200+. Fuck me.). Another poster then noted that copies were still available for pre-order on an import site I'd never heard of before called Nin-Nin-Game.
Going back to the NeoGAF days, if there's one thing I used to think I could trust on that board it was where to buy game stuff. And that was my mistake.
Got on the site and found that you had to make an account first before you can place an order. Except this didn't go through all the way and I had no password, yet it somehow took me to a payment option. I got a receipt emailed to me and then received another email to confirm the account. Since this happened after the order, no order history was available on my account and I received no confirmation in my email. The site then displayed an error and said to contact their support because the order didn't go through properly. I checked and saw that my credit card had been charged, so something went through.
The site uses a ticketing system to handle inquiries and they are insanely slow to respond. I opened a ticket and got a reply/closed ticket notification five days later. They didn't answer my question of whether or not I actually had an order and what the error I got was and instead just said something akin to "WE ARE PROCESSING ORDERS AS THEY COME IN BE PATIENT THANKS BYE." So I re-opened the ticket and several days later got no reply.
At this point I put in a credit card dispute. Checked about the company and found lots of search results complaining about their awful service and how difficult they are to deal with, especially if you want to cancel an order or return something. Some people said it took months for stuff to get resolved and that they'd argue that they only give store credit and don't do refunds. Great. Thanks for the recommendation, REEEEEEEEEE.
But my dispute was going through and my credit card company had the money ready to be refunded if there was no reply. So whatever...ordered another copy of the game off a seller on eBay. Again, scalper prices, but it was the same price as Nin-Nin-Game including the shipping. Then several days after this, Nin-Nin-Game sends out a shipping notification. It arrives on the same day as the one I got off eBay. :lol They never responded to me about anything and closed the ticket a few days later. At least they did ship it out, albeit late, and I will definitely never buy from them again.
Since I didn't want to even try to return the game after reading about Nin-Nin-Game's bullshit and not even getting an answer to a simple question, I decided to just try selling the extra copy instead. Before hitting up eBay, I went to RE and posted the game for sale. Got one response almost immediately asking to drop the price. OK, willing to drop it a bit to avoid listing fees and other eBay nonsense. But then he wants to know if I will send him the game first since "I have no feedback on RE." Sure, I'll just send you a $200 item without receiving payment when I have no idea who you are either.
:idont
Guess it's going to be off to eBay.
The only way this could have been better would have involved working a handshake into the exchange; nonetheless, my hat's off to you.
3:0 for UDP hugs. Writing an RFC as soon as I can be bothered.(which is never)
I'm having one of those days, mopping around the house.Even the carpeted areas? bold
I dunno I think Hugs will get more adoption if they're served as JSON over HTTP. That's where we should focus our efforts.Nah, my man. Higher level protocols are for what you do after the hug is accomplished. :-*
soap box
I can't believe this wall of text ends with you receiving both items that you ordered, on-time.
All of the inconvenience ended up being in your head. So I guess this offers us all a larger lesson?
Just think of how much poop weight you've probably lost though.
My kid wanted McDonalds the other night, so we went in to check out their new 'makeover'.
Even though there wasn't a line, they had those self-serve flatscreens installed so you can make your own order. They are clunky as FUCK. We sat there for 3 minutes trying to create an order before I just said screw it and walked over to the counter.
They should just have you speak at the thing and then confirm if that's what you want. By having layers and layers of menu options, it just needlessly slows down the process.
The automated revolution isn't quite ready yet.

You've only got 20 McDonald's in the most American-visited French city where there are also 2 million locals. For reference, Austin Texas has half the population, probably no foreign tourists, and it has the same number of McDonald's. Same for where I live in San Jose California. This is why you lost the naming rights to Freedom Fries.

Overall around 30% of the time in the main thread seems to be spent processing mouse events (~12% in APZ processing, ~17% in dispatching to content) which does seem fairly high.
We use MousePosTracker to move the status panel (that displays link URLs) to the other side when the mouse pointer is close. We listen to mousemove events before we even display the status panel, so that we already know the pointer position when we want to display the panel. I'm not sure how this could be optimized away without compromising the UX.:confused

Ordered a new game off Gamestop.com. I received an opened copy. I started calling them but then googled this and see that this kind of crap has been going on for at least a few years now without any kind of resolution. Fortunately the game I ordered was a Vita title and came with just the cart so nothing was missing and the case was perfect with no stickers...could be much, much worse. (https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/4sor3i/psa_dont_buy_new_games_from_gamestops_website/) And it doesn't matter...this was still an opened item being sold as new like they do with some store copies.
So, OK. Mental note to not buy anything from Gamestop.com apart from exclusive GS-only pre-order items.
Biggest reason to go all-digital? Avoiding shit like this, broken game cases, shipping issues, etc. Man, it just keeps on getting more and more tempting.
Gamestop sold new games in store opened up as far as I can recall. Like, they'd open them so they could put the discs in a sleeve behind the desk or in the back, then put the cases on the shelf and sell them as new and unopened.

I had this happen to me back when I bought Perfect Dark Zero on xbox 360. I haven't bought a game from them since.
Yes, and I've heard them talking about how they'd been allowed to bring them home for the day to play them, then sell them as "new" despite not only having been opened, but handled, and run on a spinning spindle of spindleness. Between that, and not even putting new games on the shelf if they had used copies, I didn't even go into GS during my last two-week trip. :maf

I'm paying 116 bucks a month over 6 years in a Toyota maintenance plan, which includes everything as far as maintenance goes and extends the cars warranty to 6 years as well. You can only get it on new cars though.
Car is doing 30k km a year so its well worth it.

Welcome to Scandinavia guys
My car also cost 50k usd, in the US its 22
Car needs service every 15k km, the average price of service here is almost 450 bucks
My deal basicly makes me pay this off per month instead, while extending my warranty, free roadside assistance across Europe and all kinds of unforseen repairs
Welcome to Scandinavia guysA lot of people in Norway don't fix their dents/small crash marks because it's so fucking expensive, even with insurance. I'm gonna get a car eventually, not excited for the maintenance part. lol
My car also cost 50k usd, in the US its 22
So, as expected they called back and said, "You're the best candidate by far, but we're required to get someone with a relevant degree for all management positions. We might have an architect position in a while, would you be interested?"
Sigh :goty
I left the opportunity open to discuss, but honestly, I'm not terribly excited to possibly be managed by a company that has such dogged obedience to stupid rules. Oh well....

I hear you. Despite a team being specifically interested in hiring me, I was recently shut down at initial résumé submission because the company only hires up to 45 year olds. It's legal in Japan.
We took my wife's car in for 100,000+ mile maintenance this past weekend and it ended up costing a whopping $1500- $600 for parts and $900 for "labor." I wasn't there when she went to go get the car and rather than let me know what was up or have anyone else look at the bill with her, she just signed for it and paid. Sucks, but OK.
Then this morning we woke up to find that some asshole either did a hit and run or vandalized her car late last night. Broke the passenger side mirror and there's some huge scratches on the side. We are guessing it was a drunk driver since it seems to me that vandals wouldn't just target a single car like that.

Between not getting that job and work spiralling I can feel myself getting back to that nervous breakdown neighborhood. This time I know the signs so I can at least TRY to do something about it. But I'm not sure if that's a benefit, because it sorta feels like the dread before a storm. Sure, you gotta go through the storm either way, but if you don't know the storm was coming you sorta skip all that worrying about the storm bit.

Yeah, but the thing is I've become so specialized that I've had possible employers say they feel I'm a bit of overkill. As a mentor once told me, "You can learn a dozen industries and talk about them quickly. The only companies that need that are other consulting firms." And he's been largely right. Most companies are worried that I'd get bored and leave, either that or they're paying peanuts.Between not getting that job and work spiralling I can feel myself getting back to that nervous breakdown neighborhood.

Most companies are worried that I'd get bored and leave, either that or they're paying peanuts.Between not getting that job and work spiralling I can feel myself getting back to that nervous breakdown neighborhood. This time I know the signs so I can at least TRY to do something about it. But I'm not sure if that's a benefit, because it sorta feels like the dread before a storm. Sure, you gotta go through the storm either way, but if you don't know the storm was coming you sorta skip all that worrying about the storm bit.
You're gonna be fine. This is just a speedbump. My biggest worry is that your boss, who appreciates you and knows your worth, is also an unhealthy worker. Have you considered looking at other places?
My gf made a dentist appointment for me for tomorrow. I have avoided dentists for 7 years now since I had no problems with my teeth. Still, I expect the worst :goty2
Last year I went after 6 years and everything was fine.This was me. I've still only ever had one cavity and I don't think it ever actually existed. I went to some clinic when I was 18 and the dude told me I had two cavities and then filled one. When I moved and went to a different dentist a couple of months later he told me my teeth were pretty healthy and I had 0 cavities. The first clinic was some free/sliding scale clinic that seemed shady - it was basically in a trailer - but I was 18 and thought "hey, it's New Mexico."
Turns out, adults (and even children) can clean their own teeth by spending up to 5 minutes a day on them.
:thinking You still need bi-yearly cleanings at the very least breh. Wouldn't be surprised if they found a shitton of cavities on you.
My dentist always gave me props for how beautiful my teeth were and the way I was brushing them, and then proceeded to critize me for not flossing them enough because he'd still find some calculus in those parts where my brush doesn't reach. But I hate flossing, because I always bleed like a pig when doing it :doge

You know that stops after like 3-4 days of consecutive flossing, right...?
Unless you're a hemophiliac or something.
I think some people just have more luck with their teeth than others. Some have to run to the dentist all the time even tho they brush and floss daily, while others haven't seen one in years and still got no problems.
Tho I brush my teeth twice a day, I think I got lucky thus far. I also think the older you get, the more problems you're gonna have with your teeth.
Yeah we had a well so I didn't get the fluoride water that makes frogs gay. :goty2
Still turned out gay though. :playa

For some reason I don't mind JSX in React Native but it feels icky to me in the browser. Vue does it a bit better.So, uh, picking this up again and...
It can sometimes be tedious to use controlled components, because you need to write an event handler for every way your data can change and pipe all of the input state through a React component. This can become particularly annoying when you are converting a preexisting codebase to React, or integrating a React application with a non-React library. In these situations, you might want to check out uncontrolled components, an alternative technique for implementing input forms....oh

Not sure if this is an inconvenience or struggle, but allergies are really bumming me out. I took two Benadryl at 1AM, went to bed at 01:30. Woke up with a sneezing fit at 02:20, where the antihistamines should have had my allergies on the ropes, but seemingly all it did was make me bamboozled and incoherent. Really sleepy now. I have an appointment with my accountant in less than an hour and I can barely function. :'(
My mom is dead :(
Oh, she died like 6 years ago. I was just jealous Tasty has a mom to call :( I really miss her. I try not to think about her.
Yesterday my son came to me and was like "Dad, why do you have two copies of Final Fantasy 8?" I replied that I didn't, that I only had one. He insisted I had two. I told him to show me. When he brought it to me, I realized that he saw that the case had two spines because it held multiple discs
(http://i.pinimg.com/236x/8e/f0/fe/8ef0fe44a8758e4e877720a9dcfc413d--box-art-final-fantasy.jpg)
I laughed a bit and have to explain to him that back in the day a large game wouldn't fit on one disc so it came with many.
Then I realized, he's never lived in a world where you'd have to change discs mid-game. I'm so old :brazilcry
why couldn't you own a physical copy of Final Fantasy 7 or 9 instead? you could have been a cool dad :goty2
But I do own those. It's just VIII was the one he noticed. Also, FFT is a single disc. :gurl

Yeah but that one you should definitely own twice.

On this topic: dont jerk off if you have chili residue on your handsOr Tiger Balm.
My condolences for the minty eyeball scraping.
How would you rank the pain? Just for future reference.
Chilli?
Tiger Balm?
Discount/off-brand sour candy where the sour coating can rub off easily and one piece is enough to dissolve your tongue meats?
All manners of naturally occurring acid (citrus juice, vinegar, etc)?
Aromatic Oil squirts (from squishing citrus fruit skin)?
On this topic: dont jerk off if you have chili residue on your hands
burns my tongue everytime I chew it. By burn I mean it actually damages tissue and I get blisters. I’ve had this candy back in India from a different manufacturer apparently and it was safe. This shouldn’t be on sale here.So there's apparently regional differences.

I didn't know you had to wear gloves while cutting habaneros. I also found out that the skin on your ballsack doesn't have a protective layering. It was a fun evening. The tacos were great.

Agreed, except the adapters that you can find you don’t remember what they were supposed to connect to, but you are too afraid to throw them away because you might eventually figure out which device it was supposed to be powering.

Trying to get people to listen to your music is a depressing experience. Shit, I don't really care if my music is eviscerated as long as I get people to just listen to it :goldberg
I've been resorting to taking a fucking Coursera course on digital marketing.. I'm sure the likes, listens and drugs will be rolling in soon. Cocaine here we go :rash
Ok, this is already my second time whoring out my music in this forum but whatever, I don't give a shitStylistically speaking, what artists/musicians are your main influences?

This is apparently my best track. It's super serious music for serious people btw, sorta post punkish? Check out the other shit if you dig this one, thanks

Right now would be a great time for a babe to show up... ubuntu :kobeyuckI'm not allowed to dualboot on my work Laptop (the exact wording of the word from above included at least one count of "so help me god" and a stank eye from the backup guy), so now I'm rolling a WSL installation while a server backup is crawling along under my somewhat watchful eyes. And that starts with getting one of the appx packages off the windows store (bypassable if you know the exact URL of the appx package which is out there, thankfully). I chose Ubuntu. Because it was the first on the list.
Let me give you an example. It was almost a minute before you got anywhere interesting. Anyone, anywhere do "Ooooooooooom".

Yeah. He's not wrong. There are songs and such that I know are just technically very bad but the artist is so earnest about it and believes so much that it gives the songs wings.

Theres some basic stuff anyone should do online imo, eg putting your shit everywhere (soundcloud, bandcamp, hell youtube and ig) and pushing new stuff to twitter and fb. if possible putting visuals to your material is probably helpful too. tho my suggestion is try not to limit your focus to promoting yourself online. look into the local scenes, try and hobnob with other artists and get on or put together shows. if you're not established, getting in front of people who come to a venue specifically to listen to music is probably a more effective way of getting exposure that trying to exclusively promote yourself on platforms that are flooded with other people who are trying to accomplish the same thing.
And no disrespect to puppy who obviously knows what he's talking about but I'd take individual non-technical criticisms with a grain of salt. it's a personal thing but i'm a firm believer that art should primarily cater the tastes and ideals of the artist themselves. i know that's very self indulgent, and it isn't an absolute, but art is subjective and you lose any agency over it's interpretation as soon as you put it out in the world, so you might as well do what you think is the dopest, you feel me? I generally believe if you can make something that both interesting and genuine it'll resonate with people and eventually find an audience

ColonoscopyDon't worry, you'll get used to me.
What about doing it to yourself?
So that drama with the possible employer is finally at an end. The hiring manager and I have built quite a repoire as she knows I've been there and have saved teams for other companies and she trusts me. The hiring manager called and they were like "Hey thanks for the time but the new manager we hired ended up deciding on training up our architect internally, rather than looking outside the company."
I told them "Thanks, I'll talk to you in six months."
They were like "Six months?"
I said, "Yup. I know from what I gleamed in the interviews/discussions we've already had that your department is in a critical state. You, yourself admit you didn't hire the best candidate to run your team, then you proceed to make the decision that you're going to train up an internal resource, which you've already told me you don't have the internal skills/resources necessary for this. So, you have a leader that you admit isn't your best choice, telling you to make staffing decisions you already said didn't work in the past. In my experience, you have about six months before the bottom falls out. So we can talk then...IF you still have a job."
She was like "You have no chill Puppy."
"You're not paying me. But I don't charge for the truth.
:trumps
".....You really think that'll happen?"
"I'm just a guy who's done this for dozens of companies and have seen the same road you've set yourself on. It's not a matter of thinking, it's a matter of knowing the road and where it leads."

Part of last night and this entire day culminated in having a cute Japanese nurse and a female Japanese Doctor sawing an instrument in and out of my butt for nearly an hour. It turns out that, despite all the Japanese adult videos I’ve seen, this is nowhere near as sexy as it has previously seemed.
I’ve had two of these procedures before, and the drink they use to flush your system is really unpleasant, as are the expected results. This was the first time I had to drink more then the default amount, which made me unhappy. Previous times the doctor only had to come in and check stool color once, this time they checked five times, which is as fun as it sounds.
Tl;dr:I had a chronoscopy today, and the results were great, but the process was not fun.
Seven orphan cavemen grow up on a little island all by themselves. After a fire burns all the vegetation, they set out to find a new place to live. One day they trap a strange animal, looking very similar to them, only softer and with longer hair.
She, Filli (Senta Berger), is attracted to one of the brothers, Ulli (Giuliano Gemma), and convinces him that a certain kind of playing with each other is far more satisfying than just eating her.
Chronoscopy is bad enough, but wait until you go through a urethrocystoscopy. Had that once done on me and unless I get diagnosed with cancer I won't go through that shit again.
Not only is the process among the most humilating medical stuff you can go thorugh as a man, what's even worse is that peeing for the next three days will feel like a stream of 3 inch glass shards is going through your dick. And you will pee a ton, because the pain gets even worse if your piss isn't crystal clear.

Wow, that can't really be true, can it? I can imagine decisions to retain people on specific teams because they're critical to the team's function but subpar people getting promoted instead? If there just isn't anyone worth the promotion then don't they just wait until there is?From what I’ve seen it is due to difficulty firing people. They suck but not bad enough to fire by building a case with HR. So when a promotion opens up in another group they get rave reviews from their manager to get them the hell out.
I love that feeling.
Directed at Oliv not Chrono, because I work on a team that had greater than 100% turn over within the last year and I was on a respirator once, respectively.

Why were you on a respirator?
Corporeal, why not just up and old Windows device as an HTPC at this point?Well, for one, there's cost. A normal HTPC will slurp much more power than a tiny ARM box, and will never be a sub-100€ purchase. Especially with HDMI-in video recording capability. That's just not happening, even considering used/second hand hardware.
I had a bit of a collapsed lung after a surgery. Fun time.Yikes. That must have sucked.
I found out that I had missed out on promotions and opportunities because “mupepe is the only one who does real work on that team.” My stupid ass thought just outperforming would move me along, not make me too valuable to promote. It completely flipped how I viewed the whole merit side of promotions in a corporate environment and learned about people falling upwards.Yeah, my prior employer did that. One of those "If we promote him we'll lose him in this capacity."
I ended up getting the promotion I was after but I just realized I was never going to get it if I didn't ask for it and put the pressure on them. Not to rub in your misery, but my career has been sooooooo much better ever since especially since it taught me that I actually had leverage.I found out that I had missed out on promotions and opportunities because “mupepe is the only one who does real work on that team.” My stupid ass thought just outperforming would move me along, not make me too valuable to promote.

"Hello Shostakovich
I was hoping to get you back for a second interview. You were dropped from the application process because we were unable to contact you by phone.
I thought I would drop you a note and let you know if you changed your phone number . Then please reapply and contact me at the store.
We are still seeking [GO-GO BOYS]. We would love to have you back for a second interview.
Thank you for your interest previously shown in working at [VEGAS YOUNG AND HOT].
Have a great day!"

This first interview was like a month ago. I changed my number last week! Serves me right.
"probably" an accident. Yeah.
Kinda shocked you didn't get to see the charge before swiping the card (or whatever it is you fancy gentlebeings do to pay in a cash-free manner, nowadays).
Or did you sign off on 500 bucks for a dinner for two as usual and only wisened up once your not so filthy rich friends started to complain?
Living the high life, eh. :success
....hot damn, my neighbour one floor above me is getting some. There's grunts, groans and rythmic creaking. Or maybe he's just scrubbing the floor at 11p.m. Should I ring the bell and demand to be allowed to join? I love me some late night cleaning. ???
they took our cards, processed, brought them back
Usually they bring you the receipt and you write the amount you'll tip (assuming no gratuity) and then you sign on a line. If the check is split they bring you multiple receipts divided by dish or just evenly split in cost.
But this situation just sounds like the waiter was trying to slide in some extra tips by dividing it between each payer and then fucked up by charging each of you $500. :lol

My roommate was traveling for like two weeks, and so his cats went to live with his mom. Then when he got back last week, the cats stayed there a bit longer. Anyway he came home tonight, and a minute later I heard a meow. The cats are back, and it seems they still expect me to pet them. Just now I was sitting in my room, trying to practice a guitar song, and one of them got all up in my shit trying to solicit petting. It’s obnoxious.Play your wonderwall later and pet the cat

If my first meeting is before 7am and you call a meeting at 9:30pm, you can expect me to pay exactly 0% attention at the 9:30 meeting.
Based on my experience, we do it for online calls with far east countries.If my first meeting is before 7am and you call a meeting at 9:30pm, you can expect me to pay exactly 0% attention at the 9:30 meeting.
Holy cow. Who does that?
Yeah Beijing is 11 hours ahead of me. The last time I had a late evening call was with our group in China. They tend to get into work at 9am but don't want to take calls as soon as they get in and for some reason we always give in and so we are having calls at 9pm so that they don't have to go out of their way to get on the call.
One of my roommate's cats will now meow outside my bedroom door to be let in and sleep in my bed when my roommate is away :-\
Let that bitch sleep in your bed, fuccboi.
I'm half expecting an IT crowd "The cat is now upon my person" post from Jack in the coming days.

I was attacked in the middle of the night by a centipede while I was sleeping.
It wasn't one of those cute little house centipedes, it was a giant centipede, those reddish brown motherfuckers that are so big you can actually hear their little legs scratching the floorboards. I think this one was about 10cm long, not the biggest one I've seen but certainly not the smallest one.
After spraying the shit out of it with pesticide to slow it down I dealt the coup de grace by smashing it with a dumbbell. Cleaning up the gigantic mess of centipede guts was almost as painful as actually killing the fucker. I'm literally shaking right now.

Honestly, that is the best possible ending. They had the opportunity to retain you at any previous point. Only paying attention when you're bailing is not a healthy relationship.

Was just helping someone at work. While I'm fiddling around on her PC fixing her problem, she asks if I've ever lived anywhere else. Told her I'd lived in New York and in Japan.
She then responds with a joke about nazis and follows that up with a highly offensive racist joke about Japanese people. I just went :o on the other end of the line and didn't say anything. After an awkward silence, she goes "OH COME ON, THAT'S FUNNY!!"

The people who are telling you you're doing a good job are just robotically applying positive reinforcement irrespective of your actual performance. Don't trust anything anyone says. Develop a close relationship with someone above you if you actually want to know what anyone thinks of you. Also, get an ear in HR.

I ask only because it seems like you don't; eventually something you should realize and let the stress fade away and replace it with confidence you will kick ass.
One summer in college I worked at a newspaper distribution warehouse (graveyard shift) and would easily sleep 10-12 hours during the day. Completely unproductive outside of making some money. I blamed it on my body not dealing with graveyard shift well.Some of my work is monotonous. Some of it is challenging.
After college, I worked in a production lab where everything was following an SOP and meeting deadlines with long stretches of boredom in between. My sleep schedule again went to shit.
Right now, I work on the PM side of a utility dealing with regulators, stubborn union vets, and upper management that never worked in this department. I feel a lot more stress than ever but I sleep soundly because when you have work goals that aren't just based on monotonous, repetitive work, it's a lot easier to feel motivated.
I think your problem is that you hate the type of work you do. You obviously are able to work hard, but maybe there's nothing your current workplace asks of you that makes you feel satisfied?
Or you can just document working yourself into a shriveled prune of depression and death and let that be your art. Let your office be an installation piece. This is the two birds approach.
Like, imagine the future where your Bore posts are being viewed by some classy French chick and her long-haired scarf-wearing tinder date. And they see what you have made. See what you have done. And go back to her place and fuck because of your art has inspired them to live life to the fullest. He gives her herpes which he is carrying without symptoms.
Image the future where TVC is pissing on your art as derivative and undebauched. That future is now.

Working in Tokyo. Haven't seen my family in three weeks. Had plane tickets for this weekend, perfect timing to get out of work, roll down to Haneda Airport, fly to Osaka and sleep in my own bed starting Friday night.
Airline cancels my tickets without giving a reason why. Maybe they overbooked. They're not offering any compensation.
Re-booked tickets for available slots, which now have me missing my first night back and getting up 05:30 Saturday to catch the flight. Same with the return flight. :maf
Upper management usually don't focus on uber-specific issues like that unless middle managers are getting back stabby or incompetent.
If that seems likely, fire up the popcorn.

Update on the Double Xbox situation.Return it. Some poor warehouse employee is probably getting negative performance metrics.After some alcohol and moral discussions I've decided that I will inform them of their error.
Chances are that this mistake was made multiple times and at worst I have to pay shipping and at best I get a free giftcard for not fucking them over or something.
Recently we had a sort of same situation at our firm. A client was billed 240 euro, wrongly. So we decided to credit the bill. But our administration accidently wired 2400 instead of 240.
The client was kind enough to return us the 2160. Even though one of my co-workers said: "If he hadn't done it, I would've stole his boat" I feel that morally it is the right course.
It also fixes the dilemma of 10 people who 'want' this free Xbox and being a cheapskate for donating the old Xbox to our office entertainment.
I'm a total soyboy and corporate capitalist shill for not keeping or selling it though. :fbm
Why did the VP of the company I work for just send a Slack Message to me (and a couple of other people) at midnight, to ask about the status of a B severity bug in our project?
There are two very good reasons that bug has not been addressed yet!
1. We've spent the last week and a half on much higher priority shit.
2. It was also decided that with less than a month to go we are going to re-do the portion of the UI where that bug exists, so why the fuck would I spend time trying to fix it if I don't even know if it is going to be relevant soon?
Make games they said. It'll be fun they said.spoiler (click to show/hide)I would also add that of the bugs I have left, this is one that has almost no functional impact on the product and the time cost fix of it is non trivial.[close]
So explain that this was decided to not be high priority, ask if the priority has been raised, and if so, work on the bug.
It's really not hard; I work with so many developers who whine about stuff like this and act shocked that I don't care lol
Make it super hard. The little tossers have earned it. Rub their noses in it.
But be generous with the bonus points. Or offer a free hint. Or offer them that you won't score a single question/problem of their choice. Or something. Ya know, the classic good cop/bad cop routine, only you're both cops at the same time.
I had a publisher's external producer call me on my cellphone on a Sunday because he was freaked out that we had 700 bugs in the database, and he wanted a lower number. CALLED SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T WORK FOR HIM. ON A SUNDAY. I explained that we were working on higher priority bugs and that each and every text bug had its own entry, so many of them would be cleaned before the next submission.:rejoice essential problem solving :rejoice
He didn't want to wait to receive a fixed version, he just wanted to see the bug database have a lower record count.
I went to work on monday, negotiated time for the text bugs to be corrected and entered, so they all registered as Claimed Fix in the db, eliminating nearly 300 bugs. The client was happy. We only lost maybe 16 man-hours total on it. We all still think that producer is an idiot.

Ok, got whine a bit. So Japan is a decade behind the curve on Vinyl resurgence and new albums still aren’t being made in analog.

Highs of up to 37C (99F) are forecast in southern, eastern and central England, but the Met Office says "if conditions all come together", the record of 38.5C (101F) could be beaten.
That was set in Kent in August 2003.
But much of England could experience thunderstorms and hail showers on Friday, bringing the risk of flash flooding.
Some places could see as much as 30mm of rainfall in an hour and 60mm in three hours.
Meanwhile, fire crews are urging people enjoying barbecues and other outdoor activities in dry areas to avoid "careless and reckless" behaviour that could start a blaze.

Been thinking about death a lot in the last two months and not sure why. Like I'd use to think on it occasionally and get anxiety about it, but now it's like every time I watch a movie/read a book/game whatever and there's something that relates to death I start thinking about my own death and the end of my life and I get uncomfortable.
The superstitious part of me feels like the reason I'm suddenly thinking about death a lot is because I'm going to die soon for some reason, which is kinda :|
The realist part just thinks it's because I'm starting to have some free time and feeling kinda lonely and also birthday coming up in a few months and depression about dying alone and never finding the right person.
idk, I'm sorta hoping once I meet someone in my current dating-sphere this will go away. dunno.

Homeowner's Association at my townhome complex is forcing some stupid "replace the curb with belgian blocks" and all the units will have to contribute $3000 each. For the most pointless "upgrade". I live in a neighborhood filled with rich white and asian boomers so I doubt there will be much protest...Mine is going in the opposite direction. They tore down our brick walls along our main road due to maintenance costs and replaced it with unpainted, wooden fencing. Looks like absolute garbage and I'm still paying the same amount monthly? Although they built a fucking tennis court that no one fucking uses. I saw people playing baseball in it once.

I just swam a ton of laps and was hurting for some electrolytes, so I grabbed a Gatorade I probably opened a month or two ago from the fridge and drank it. Looked it up for how long refrigerated Gatorade last once opened and the suggested use date is 3-5 days.

In a depressive cycle again and just waisted 3 days I don't have due to a deadline in sept. All I want to do is sleep and watch tv.
Like i know i can solve it with a few things - eat good, work out for like 5 mins, stretch and go to the office - but fuck that's hard.

It's actually working out pretty great between my brother and myself. I have to draw 1 thing and he has to write 2000+ words for a novel he's working on each week.
So far we've been sticking with our goals since loosing $75 a week would kinda suck. :doge

Shit night.
Was supposed to hang with a friend.
I've had polyps on my throat for years since a teen. Every few years they take a biopsy and it's benign. Basically every once and a while when I talk too much, too loud I get a sharp pain, lose my voice for a few secs until I drink water and my throat bleeds aka if I spit I spit up bright red blood.
When I had my bronchitis spot for 6 weeks a few months ago I had some bad, bad coughing in the middle and tore the fuck outta my throat, including the area around my vocal characters where my polyp is. Since then I've noticed it bleeding more often and worse.
Tonight after a long day talking at work on calls, was on a long 30min+ call talking and I tend to talk loud and my voice snapped and lost my voice, ended the call and went and spat a good 3-4 spits of solid blood before it cleared up. Was enough damage that got feverish hot and weak and tired, so had to call my plans off for the night with a friend and took some tylenol and just gonna go to bed. Throat feels sore and gooey like the injury is dripping salva or something a bit still.
I hadn't bothered to see an ENT about it since I've dealt with it for years and it's always been benign, but since I tore up my throat during the bronchitis I'm now feeling like I need to see my ENT to take a look and see if there's an issue. I have noticed that when I was in vegas at borecon and I'd have a strong alcohol drink my throat would burn like I've got open sores all down it. Same with when smoking [redacted] at bore-con, my throat set on fire at first like had sores on the throat. :|
I'm debating cancelling my Europe trip (haven't booked it yet) in case this is something serious and when I see the ENT (which will probably take a few weeks before I can get in), they might need to do an endoscopy ASAP and if there's something might need to address it ASAP, so being gone for 2 weeks in mid-september might be a bad idea :|
Who knows though, maybe they'll get me in on a cancel right away, be able to look real quick and tell me it's nothing serious that needs rushed surgery or anything and then I can still book my trip this weekend. Just don't know. Will call my ENT first thing tomorrow morning.
I've had my monitor set to 125% for ages, accidentally reset it to the default 100% and can barely see anything :beli:whatisthis

I was over at my parent's place today and the subject of vaccines came up (they're definitely near the "against" camp :goty2 )

They did not disagree. :brazilcry
Just learned today that my dad and my two uncles all have "cancerous or pre-cancerous" growths in their colons and that they can no longer eat cured meats or red meat anymore. Nothing life threatening, for now, but this is very much a wake up call.
And since I'm genetically similar to my dad I really need to get my shit together now while I'm still young and healthy. :doge
So... I'll be rarely eating beef paddies, steak, pepperoni, salami, and a bunch of other fun stuff. :fbm
I'll mostly be eating chicken, small fish, eggs, and a fuck load of vegetables for the rest of my days.

SUPERNOVA, BURN BRIGHT DIE YOUNGthis nicca gonna live to 150
SUPERNOVA, BURN BRIGHT DIE YOUNG
Supernovae are stars that reached the end of their (extremely long) life, you muppet.
The largest stars in the Universe are supergiant stars. These are monsters with dozens of times the mass of the Sun. Unlike a relatively stable star like the Sun, supergiants are consuming hydrogen fuel at an enormous rate and will consume all the fuel in their cores within just a few million years. Supergiant stars live fast and die young, detonating as supernovae; completely disintegrating themselves in the process.
Global warming will make every living day miserable in the next 30 years or so. It’s not worth living through that. And if you do, you’ll live in an ever-worsening and depressing world as scarcity of key resources starts to seriously affect the first world.Witnessing something that exciting actually sounds like the cure to most people's ennui. The few remaining people suddenly have a role in life, existence becomes a struggle, etc.
I just remembered I got assigned to help somebody with a work project. Last update went:just respond with something like "since no one has objected, we will proceed with location xyz on dd/mm/yy, thanks." and take it from there
Me: Okay so would you and the engineer be fine with xyz location for the sampling port?
Colleague: The ops plan states this and we should just follow it.
*pastes paragraph from ops plan*
Me: Yeah I wrote that paragraph as vaguely as possible because we didn't decide anything yet and we'll be held to whatever we submit to regulators. My suggestion is xyz location.
I haven't received a response in a week, is this the point where I'm allowed to burn the office to the ground?spoiler (click to show/hide)It feels like any decent project manager either becomes a consultant or move on to a different role.[close]
Someone in my apartment building got a new dog that howls and cries everytime it's left alone and it goes on for an hour or two at a time and then it probably falls asleep but if someone makes a loud noise somewhere in the building the dog starts crying again :-\ And it's so heartbreaking to hear! I feel like I should go feed it through the letter box like Elaine on Seinfeld...
If it wasn't my last week of hanging around with nothing to do at home all day I'd leave the owner a note that I can dogsit. Well, come next week I shouldn't hear it much anymore. Still feel bad for the doggo :-\
Today was one of those days that the only choice I had was to let my rage fuel my work. It made for a productive day, but holy hell, I've left so much desolation behind me.

Welp. I think the desolation I left earlier this week is nothing compared to the smoldering crater I've left today. It was a move you only hear about in shows and hushed rumors of things that happen to friends of friends. They wanted a bus, I threw a nuke. I'm on the verge of pulling the whole team.

Had a weekend at home with the family, took an early morning train back to my current place of employment, 4 hours in transit, and have worked a full day. Brain stopped working about 30 minutes ago. Not sure if I'm cut out to be away from my family for three weeks at a time. already thinking about how to move back to a local-to-home job.I feel ya. Having a travelling job is hard. Yes, you do make more money, but your life doesn't get better for it, especially when you're married and have kids. Take my advice, decide early if it's for you or not. Because companies are very good about the golden handcuffs, especially as you stay longer.

The air conditioner stopped working last night. Had a technician out today and found out that the outdoor AC unit compressor unit is dead. Gonna be $900 for a replacement unit...and since it has to be ordered from the manufacturer, it might not be ready for installation until sometime next week. :'(You sure it isn't just the capacitor needing to be replaced? It's like an 8 dollar part and an easy fix(usually 3 wires to disconnect, then reconnect). Supposed to be the most common cause of a/c units going out.
What sucks worse was going outside with the guy- we took off the top of the unit and it unleashed a swarm of mosquitoes. Got bit the fuck up.

This is also what I would check. AC technicians are notoriously shady like car mechanics. I have family that do HVAC work and they tell me all the time about how they get called for a second opinion and it’s somethig easy as hell but the first technician told the customer it was something else.The air conditioner stopped working last night.

Pretty much all my technology is failing me. I'm having to do sfc and chkdsk multiple times a week on my PC, otherwise my computer just constantly locks up every program within seconds, things that should take seconds take 10+ minutes, and I'm sure it's going to fail completely in the near future.Can I mail you my old Nexus One or something?
I had a cheap android phone that has been cracked for a long time, but the screen completely gave up, so the only thing I had as a replacement around the house was a SLIDER PHONE from 2006. It does, miraculously considering the mini sim card doesn't actually properly fit, work just for calls and texting, and had bluetooth so I can still use it for music at the gym, but anything else is no longer supported so there's nothing to connect to. It's also T9. In 2018. The way I have to transfer music is to put a mini SD chip into the broken phone, hook it to my PC, put on whatever it is I'm wanting on it, then put the chip into the 12 year old phone.
My next step was borrowing my mom's old iphone just as a general internet device, however it's a 4, which means almost no apps work for it anymore, the battery lasts less than a day even with nothing running, in airplane mode, and not connected to wifi while the screen is off, and there's a pop up for icloud literally every 5 seconds, which of course she doesn't know the password to so I can't get rid of it. Trying a factory reset also will not work so it's pretty useless.
I can't afford to update or upgrade any of these issues, so I just see it as preparing for my future off the grid lifestyle.
EDIT: In addition all the music I've recently downloaded can't be played on any of my devices without being converted first.

I have gone coast to coast then back in the last 3 days. Usually I don't get too jetlagged but so much flying in so short a time has really messed my sleep schedule up.My worst jetlag was traveling from the US to Russia +9 hours. Spending two days in Moscow at our office and then flying 3 hours ahead in Siberia. Spending 2 days there. Flying back 3 hours to Moscow. Spending 2 days there and then flying back to the US -9 hours. I've been able to manage most other international jetlag but that one destroyed me for a couple of weeks.

If they're concerned for you, or at least concerned about losing you, this is an opportunity to renegotiate your workload.
I read that as CRAP machineEveryone does, except the people who use them.

Was told to take tomorrow off because I came off super agitated & stressed during a company sprint retrospective meeting. Whoops.My brother says I should probably apologize on Monday for my behavior on Thursday but... I kinda don't want to.
That's not possible.
Not to get into all the boring details (actually... I will) but I essentially have to get all my production work done within a two week "sprint"
First week is all production. Second week there's three production days (Monday through Wednesday) and two planning days (Thursday through Friday).
On that Thursday in the 2nd week I have to assign point values (1, 3, 5, 8, 13, etc.) to production tasks that the Client Services teams want done in order to gauge my "Velocity" within a sprint. And there's three client services teams and I have to sit through an hour long meeting for each.
Any tasks I have assigned on a day I have to get done before 5pm and if I don't get those done before 5pm I have to contact our Traffic Manager and tell him that I'm going to working on stuff past 5pm or early tomorrow morning. And that sometimes causes a domino effect and ends up throwing the rest of my days off.
Confusing? Yes. Very.
ALSO, this Scrum/Sprint system is designed for fucking software engineers. Not me. A fucking graphic designer.
So you can see why I'm so fucking agitated all the fucking time.
I'm just slapping stuff together as fucking fast as I can and all my work looks like half baked shit that I can never put in a portfolio.

Puppy, I think I'm being unclear. I had a manager I was too friendly with in my previous department. In my current department, my boss harasses me over texts on my day off. Two totally different situations.Here's what you need to do:

Never had to deal with this before, but man, it is really, really inconvenient when you have a team member who you just cannot count on to write professional-level pages in a report or a business plan.now imagine having to deal with advisors, who you are paying large fees to, who cannot put together a coherent and technically sound report
Surely there are other advisors you could pay in this case?i'm finding that in this region, they all suck supersaiyan donkeydick so moving from one to another won't help :(

Shostas life is fascinating.Had a total Curb moment just now. Been talking to this barista for a couple of weeks. We were chatting and I said I was going to get some sushi and asked if she wanted any. As a half offer. Because that's polite. I wasn't, like, super serious. But it was out there. And she said she would love that. So she goes away for a bit to help someone and comes back and I ask what she wants and she's being difficult and I can tell she wants to rescind accepting the offer. Because SHE was just being polite. "I'll just have whatever you don't eat." "I'm going to eat everything I order though.." I can't take back the offer because, like, I'm fucking in this now, and so is she, and it's so awkward for both of us. So she says "I'll just have whatever." And stupid me goes "are we gonna split it?"
I had a bit of a blow up via email exchange yesterday arguing about unfair labor practices with my manager and another team lead sideways to her. Realistically, does it affect anything if you quit without notice?
I wish the working world were civil and human enough for me to tell working people "Never, ever quit a job without giving two weeks notice!" but I can't.
Too many hard-working and honest employees have been walked out the door like criminals just for giving notice at their job. It's unethical to refuse an employee's notice without paying them for that time, but there are skeevy managers who do it anyway.
There is too much fear in too many organizations. There is no business justification for ripping off an employee who is only trying to quit their job in a dignified and professional way by giving notice. Some managers are so fearful that they think anybody who quits their job is a traitor and a risk. They don't realize that their own fear is their biggest enemy.
Unless a manager trusts themselves enough to trust the people they hire, they will never be a leader. They will only be equipped to manage through fear, because they don't know how to build trust.
Here are ten good reasons to quit your job without giving notice.
1. Quit your job without giving notice if you don't believe that you will be allowed to continue working through your notice period (and you need the money). It is preferable to give your manager two weeks notice when it is possible. However, if you know from past experience with a particular manager or organization or your gut knows that your manager will not honor your two-week notice, then forget it! Just pack up your stuff and go. You can tell your manager you're leaving on your way out the door.
2. If you've found a better job and they need you to start right away, and your current manager has given you no reason to offer them the gift of two more weeks of your time, then forget the notice period and bolt.
3. Quit without giving notice if there is nothing for you to train anyone else on, your time in the job has been miserable and you aren't planning to include the job on your resume.
4. Don't worry about giving notice if the company is laying people off and looking to save payroll dollars.
5. Forget the two-week notice if you and your manager at having a major conflict and/or your boss has started a "paper trail" in order to eventually fire you. They want you out anyway, so the two-week notice is pointless. They are hoping you find another job and move on.
6. You can leave without giving notice if your manager or someone else in authority does or says something horrible to you, and sadly it happens. You do not have to stick around to put up with two more weeks of abuse. You can say "I will be leaving now" and dip!
7. Get up and go without giving notice if you are going to work for a competitor -- and your employer sees a move to a competitor as an unforgivable sin.
8. Quit your job without a notice period if you've only had the job for a month or two and there really isn't anything for you to do for two more weeks.
9. Leave your job the minute you find a better job if your managers require or expect you to do anything illegal, unsafe or ethically wrong. Our young friend Monica ran into a situation like this. She was hired into a boiler-room sales operation and given a script to read to customers. The script was full of lies. Monica hated the job but she needed an income. The minute she found something better, she fled. No two-week notice for slime bags!
10. Above all, quit without notice and get out of any job that makes you feel unsafe. Just get out. Don't assume that because you work for a well-known company or because your friend got you the job, somehow that will protect you. Get out of any unsafe work situation right away. Trust your gut!

Do companies ever actually contact references?
I’ve never contacted a reference when hiring nor have I ever had a reference contacted when being hired.
I've been called for references multiple times; they ask all manner of questions.. don't beleive the BS that "they can only ask if you worked there and how long" that you'll hear.I've had the exact opposite. If someone puts me as a personal reference then yeah I give tons of honest feedback.
Yes, references matter.
Fortunately replacements are easy to get and I ordered two more coming on Friday.
The problem is with my manager's director. My manager has tried to negotiate on my behalf for the past year and is also happy to be a reference for the other places I'm applying to.
Y'all don't know how bad it is in a unionized company that has no official performance metrics.

So I'm the full time caretaker for both of my grandparents. My grandma is a diabetic and has been in an insulin pump for 20+ years. In the past year, she's gone through 4 total pumps because she swears they aren't working because her sugars are so high consistently. I managed to keep her pretty stable around where it needed to be over the past 2-3 months by doubling the amount of insulin she would get per bolus. Her last endocrinologist visit had the doc be like OH YOU'RE SO AWESOME THIS IS GREAT MANAGEMENT HER A1C IS DOWN THIS IS GREAT and proceeded to fuck with the settings anyway, and since then (about 3 weeks now), her sugar has been completely out of control, going back to the settings I was using hasn't helped, and a brand new pump came and the same thing is happening.In my experience old timers try to cling onto something so they don't lose hope. It's usually a type of medicine, a doctor they like or a medical device that has helped them.
I'm really at a loss. There's no way 4 pumps in a year have malfunctioned exactly the same way, and she won't believe me that diabetes gets harder to manage the older you get, and being constantly stressed out and depressed is going to give wild readings no matter how stringent we are. I weigh and track all of her meals so I know exactly how many carbs she has and what size bolus she needs and it just....isn't really working anymore. She keeps getting on me that I need to get them under control, but I'm doing everything I can and she just won't accept that it's not the pump.

Tbh, if a friend of mine tried to pull that I can’t hang with you because your life is better shit on me, I’d be all “okay bye”Yeah, part of me agrees, that might be the best thing. But another part of me is like "It's the depression talking. Let her get out of this space."

I'm help desk, so in that scenario...I'd be the one getting all the calls asking when that shit would be ready.thats honestly part of why i asked everyone to turn in their company devices. :lol i had a couple people complain to me about how they needed their phone and i just told them "take one day off of email and if you desperately need your stuff, ill have it for you on friday". i'm not expecting anyone to take me up on it. hell, the big bosses who are the ones that might actually need to monitor email were all more than happy to fork their stuff over and not see it again til monday :lol

Been going back and forth with my internet provider for a week now [on a problem going back a month and a half]. Somebody came out on Monday of last week to finally get it fixed, but they didn't have the equipment to do it so they said they'd come back the next day. Tuesday passed with no one showing up. I call on Wednesday and am assured that someone will come out that day to get it fixed. By the afternoon, no one has showed up so I call again and can't get through. I end up driving to their office [about 20 minutes away] and find out that they decided to leave early that day because of the Thanksgiving holiday. They're also closed on Friday. On Monday I call and get told that I'm on the list for first thing Tuesday morning. By 10 on Tuesday morning, no one has showed up to start work. I call and get told that someone is on their way to my house and it'll take about 30 minutes for them to get there. That was an hour ago.

Maybe there's something on there that they don't want to lose, connect to a network to risk someone getting in, or risk being stolen. Heard a story at the previous job where someone working on something entertainment-related refused to connect the laptop to the Internet and we had to have someone go on-site to assist them with a problem...which that company doesn't do but made an exception since they were willing to pay a shitload for it.

This 3 day work week is gonna be so hard to get through
Bork, what's the number? I'd like to place a call.
So I realized on Christmas day that my work schedule was actually taking a toll on me. I've been working 16 hour days for the last 6-8 weeks because of a project that needed to be complete by end of year. Christmas day my wife opens up her presents and I tell her that she still has another at my mom's because I had it shipped there. We get to my mom's and I ask my mom about it and she looks at my really confused "Uhhhh, we took it over there.... didn't we?" and I really have no clue. I'm confused as fuck. So I think okay, well then it would be in the spot where I put all her gifts. So then later my parents give my wife and I a gift. And my wife says "oh this will go great with the chair Mupepe got me" (the chair is the gift I had shipped to my mom's). Now I'm really fucking confused and it started to come back. Not only had my parents brought the chair, I gave it to my wife already. I couldn't believe I had fucking forgotten. I've never felt like that in my life. Even the foggiest memory had more recollection than this. It felt like I was going crazy.
It wasn't just the hours at work. I can handle the hours. It was the actual stress and coordination of a million moving parts and the herding of the incompetent people that I relied on to make sure it all got done. I was having nightmares about this project. One night I had a nightmare that I was presenting shit to upper management when I noticed a mistake in my data. Sure enough, I wake up and double check my work (that had already been distributed) and found the same exact error from the dream. The constant cover your ass nature of the project, politicking and last minute fixes were something I'd not yet experienced as this was the first time I'd helmed a project of this size. Beyond that the senior level people I know, many of which have been with the company for 30-40+ years all said it was by far the worst project they've ever been on.
I've seen people at work have breakdowns before. I guess I just didn't realize how close I was to having one.

Went to my fave coffee shop today. I'm there so often the baristas all know me rather well. So while I was waiting for my coffee one of the baristas starting talking to me about smash bros. We were exchanging stories and he asked how my kids were doing at it (I often take my kids to get drinks there too) and I started talking about how they were doing and about how the youngest is really enjoying it and having fun. At this point a group of people walk in as I say, "But my other kids are getting older, so it's getting a lot harder for me to beat them." The group looked at me disgust thinking I was some kind of child beater.I miss Old Soul. :goty2

Let my daughter into one of those Burger King playrooms and now she’s refusing to come out, and I can’t fit in there as an adult to get her so I’m sitting here like an idiot getting rekt by a 3 year old.Newfeed pls.
had a headache yesterday that got so bad I thought I might die. My mom had chronic migraines in her 20-30's, I hope that isn't what this is. :snoopDude, that's rough. My second guitar teacher had chronic migraines, she essentially mainlined caffiene all day. I used to have 45 minute lessons with her and in that amount of time she would down two sodas. I once was like "That's terrible for you." She told me it was the only way to keep off the migraines. I hope you don't get to that point.

You sure it's not anxiety? Lots of people confuse migranes with anxiety if they've never had anxiety before. They go for years trying different headache pills, diets, etc when they should be treating anxiety instead.

The OTHER super embarrassing thing I did this weekend:I can imagine Catscubed walking up and down the aisles being like "Wow, they're playing Barbie Girl? What a hip place!"
Went into the auto parts store and thought “wow what a hip playlist for an auto parts store”
I realized as I walked out, my phone had disconnected from the car and was playing from my pocket 🤦♂️

I've had an annoying cough for 1,5 weeks, I don't know where it came from but it's the first time I've ever had a cough this bad without having a cold first. And now it's apparently at that point where I can't sleep because of it, yay. Let's see if this will eventually turn into a struggle or go away as suddenly as it started.
Maybe it's an allergy?
Day two of tire maintenance fun:
After multiple calls, transfers, and VM runarounds I finally got through to someone who said they would check on if the tire came in. Got there at 10:30am. Around 11:45 they said the tire was changed out, but there was a minor recall they could fix. Wish I'd waited-- it's 1pm now.

I'm guessing it's an optional TSB covered by your warranty and the service department wants to collect the reimbursement from the manufacturer.
Sucks a butt hole.

Got the car back. The lady was actually genuinely nice this time and went pretty quickly to pull the car around. Asked again what this recall was about and she goes "oh no, it's nothing dangerous! See the physical OnStar button on the top there?" (the one I'm never going to use) "Well they want to change it out. I guess they changed the design of the image on the front of it or something."
...

I called it. It's a ten cent button and an hour of labor.
If that's all it is why are you going? they're not going to do anything if you miss the recall and it doesn't void anything so who cares? They suck. Take it to another dealer and they'll also do the recall and probably won't smash your balls in a vice like these people. I would have ignored their call.
I'd just be worried about being in that restaurant for 8 hours waiting for that button to be done :lol

Mine's about to go for sure. It doesn't stay on without a signal. It's supposed to show "no signal", then go into standby, but it just turns off. With a signal, it takes a couple tries, but stays on. Something inside the power supply has gone sideways, for sure.My monitor appears to be on its last legs. Had it for almost ten years. Its time has come. :salute
I thought mine was a goner too until I power cycle'd that bitch. Eleven years and still going strong.
ultrawide 4k 144Hz monitors still aren't a thing yet :fbmNeither is the hardware to drive it, no?
It’s pretty embarrassing to have to ask your wife to help you bathe and sit on the toilet. I can only sleep in one position and my left arm falls asleep because I hold it in a weird position to keep the road rash from hitting the covers or bed.

I found out today that my dad is a shitposter.
He called me this morning to have a look at his computer because it has been acting up lately.
I opened Firefox on his PC and was greeted by pages of a football message board where he was a member.
His posts consisted of insulting and trolling people.
I don‘t know how to deal with this, my father was always the prototypical functioning adult.
Is this part of my genes? Will I still be a shitposter in my 60s?
Speaking of allergies this hot february made pollen season start waaaay early. My wife has been hit hard.
So we bought an air purifier with a hepa filter which we ran for hours.
In the morning I asked my wife if she slept/felt better, she said not really.
Then later I noticed I didnt remove the plastic packaging from the filters :doge

lol don't waste your time and just decline the invite, tell the organiser to include the other people and let him/her have fun coordinating across multiple time zonesOh no. I don't play that. I totally went. And when they asked me questions I was like "Wish I could help you. But the resources I needed on this meeting aren't here."
Sounds like it was other people's time that was wasted though.Was it though? I mean, I think everyone learned an important lesson.
well that's one way of dealing with this, as long as the exec doesn't think you're an idiot too for wasting their timelol don't waste your time and just decline the invite, tell the organiser to include the other people and let him/her have fun coordinating across multiple time zonesOh no. I don't play that. I totally went. And when they asked me questions I was like "Wish I could help you. But the resources I needed on this meeting aren't here."
And then the executive was "Well why aren't they here?"
I said, "Yeah, organizer, why aren't they here? Would you please explain why?"
And then watched them stammer that they didn't know, and I was like "Akshually, I sent you an email telling you specifically that this time wouldn't work. Remember that?"
They were like "uhhh"
"I can bring it up if you'd like to see. You actually replied to it, so I know you got it. Did you happen to forget? I know you're very busy."
This shouldn't happen with this idiot again.

I hope the lunch with your daughter was nice.It was swell, thanks! She was bragging about it to my wife later in the evening. Dad knows where to get the best burgers in Osaka!
Went to downtown Osaka today to take my daughter out to lunch and get my iPhone replaced. About 100m from home, the shoes I was wearing had part of the sole detach and flap as I walked.
These are limited edition Nike Air Rift that my wife picked up for me in Hawaii more than 10 years ago. I've maybe worn them only a dozen times.
Over the course of the next two hours the shoes broke in every conceivable way, from both shoes' strap-buckles breaking within 10 seconds of each other to the foam sole coming away from the shoe in addition to the rubber coming away from the foam, like a sandwich falling apart one layer at a time.
I went to several shoe shops and was completely disappointed in the selection and prices, so in the end I bought a pair of flip-flops and threw away my exploded shoes.

As a condo owner in an HoA community (I assume all condos are in HoAs?), got hit by my first special assessment today. They found some cracks by the common area dinky pool no one ever actually uses and suddenly there's a $1,300 bill/per unit outta nowhere for emergency repairs. Seems like a lot but I asked around and apparently it's not strange to have $3,000 or $5,000 special assessments out of nowhere in an HoA, so $1,300 is supposedly pretty reasonable. Still sucks, and HoAs are lame af, but if I don't want to deal with an HoA I'd need to buy an actual house, which is way more work and expenses so w/e I guess :whatsthedeal
CC # got stolen. Been a while since that happened to any of my cards. Was a backup card I only used for gas stations, markets, steam and PSN. I assume mostly likely culprit is gas stations, I always hear people can copy your card when you put it in the machine or something. Otherwise would have to be a PSN breach or something cause I doubt it's steam or the supermarket.
Edit, actually looking at my last statements, I guess I also had this linked with some other recurring billing stuff. Dunno where it got stolen from. Oh well, annoying but this stuff happens in modern day society every couple years if you have a few cards.
What's it going to take to get you guys back in the same area again?

It won't take much. To be honest, I'm already talking to several more places and entertaining a sizable commute just so I can be back with my family, sleep in my own bed, and cut back on these expenses.
My current job is really good, I am feeling incredibly grateful for it. I just need to be closer to my family.

My wife has been pretty tense about money lately, and I really, REALLY hate talking about money. I don't spend much overall, I'm pretty thrifty, but a single person's living expenses in Tokyo are sizable, so I've not been able to save as much as I'd like, as there's little in excess of making my Osaka mortgage payment and paying for my rent and food. It's frustrating enough as-is, but having it be an issue with my spouse, as well as not living nearby enough to communicate about it regularly, has been a thorn in our sides.
Then out of the blue last night she's telling me that, instead of a one-time government-mandated 車検 "upkeep tax" on the car, she'd like to buy a new car.

(snip)Yeah, I have a mortgage in Osaka, and my home is right next to the rest of my wife's family. In 2011, I determined that if we were going to move, it'd be to another country, because there's no reason for me to be in Japan other than my wife being close to her family.
I think I asked about this before, but is a permanent move to Tokyo out of the question?

My client decided to put up posters everywhere celebrating and reinforcing our organizational goals - basically a bunch of slogans about how workers need to be brave, be bold, be committed to the organizations ''''''mission'''''''. This shit is everywhere I walk now. I'm in a prison of corporate agitprop :(
While doing laundry I noticed an unopened bottle of mouthwash next to one of the bottles of detergent in the laundry room. My first thought upon seeing this was, "Why is there an unopened bottle of mouthwash in the laundry room?" Then I internally responded to my question with another question, "Why shouldn't there be an unopened bottle of mouthwash in the laundry room?" I had no response to this rhetorical question because the logic was unassailable.i had a similar experience except with unopened shampoo, and i thought it makes more sense for it to be somewhere in the bathroom so moved it

Why wouldn’t you install the games on the SSD?
Massively increases load times.
I was thinking about a fresh windows install, but I have no idea if the CPU issue is related to hardware, BIOS, or something else. Unfortunately Acer has a shitty UEFI that doesn't say shit.Doesn't seem that terrible:Why wouldn’t you install the games on the SSD?
Massively increases load times.
Load times for me aren't too bad honestly. Only have 500GB of space, so if a couple modern games do get installed on it, it's not gonna have room for much else. Obviously, I can delete them, but I'm paranoid about limited SSD rewrite cycles.
Having the craziest insomnia this week; I'm a caffeine drinker but haven't been overdoing it or anything. Last night was the worst; I was so fucking tired, but my brain was wired as hell. Tried everything but taking sleeping meds since I needed to get up early for work but I wish I'd just taken something. I have vague memories of being awake or half awake all night with my mind buzzing, my eyes moving, etc. "Woke up" at 4 AM (I am unsure if I was actually asleep) and was almost in a panic'd state. Could not stop my mind from spinning with this sort of paranoia that my brain will never sleep again. Did not go back to "sleep" or whatever you want to call laying in bed tired and dazed but still partially awake.i had a similar experience pulling an nighter and drinking some no-name energy drink that was incredibly salty and had something like 300% of rda of vitamin b, the following night i was fucked just like how you described

Advice from no-AC country
Yeah, summer is pretty mild here. When it's really hot (77F+ by my standards, 86F+ otherwise) it's not for very long. People make do with fans and flock to pools and lakes when possible.
Offices will have AC, but since people are not used to them, they're often unwittingly sabotaged by people keeping windows open. :goty2
I have no central air, shitty insulation that's cold in the winter and hot in the summer, but a swimming pool. >:(
Fans? Are you trying to kill him?!

It‘s warm in the winter and unbearable in the summer in my place. I would kill a random person every day for a swimming pool.
I guess it's just where I am in literal HOTLANTA, but I can't imagine not having an AC. It's unbearable here without one.
I quit drinking, how the fuck am I supposed to celebrate my birthday? :busta
There is a soft ban on me at my favorite bar (enforced only by specific bartenders) and I have no friends, but maybe I will cook something.

All the more reason to be a gentleman and let your prostitutes walk in front of you.
For the first time in like 20 years I had a nosebleed. I think I might be dying brehs.
Walking back from lunch, let out a massive fart and two prostitutes walked into the cloud of it. They didn't even flinch. It was a weird dank one too.Ed Sheeran's lyrics keep getting more difficult to relate to.

Is there a service job with lower customer care than bank telling ? Need to start work early today so looked for a branch of my bank I could swing by on the way at 8:30am. I get there and for some reason they don't open as advertised ?

Fifteen minutes late now.

I'm pretty sure it's a common thing for banks to have some things starting running after the official opening hour. Can't remember the reason exactly, but that was the case in my bank before I moved to the UK (and I think some of them here do the same).

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo

I did not mention this to help him save face for an extremely tasteless post but now that people think I am back to extraordinary alcohol abuse I am throwing him under the bus :doge

I saw a report the other day that said 1/3 of American businesses still have active Windows XP machines.
Finally had to upgrade my work machine to Windows 10 and it's been about as much of a shit show as I was expecting it to be. What a trash OS.
But why is getting area screenshots still a separate app and not a combination hotkey like every other OS?

Tbh I'm shocked at how many dudes have weak ass limp handshakes. Especially men from a generation or two ahead of me that grew up in eras where having a weak handshake meant you were a super bitch.
I have a standard firm handshake and if you can't handle it you're a weak bitch and I pity your existence
:yeshrug
I never thought about the level of mindgames regarding handshakes until I listened to people give lessons to others on it.Same.
My grips is never consistent because I don't pay any attention.

Need to get a new license because
1. I lost so much weight that it doesn't even look like me and I get shit when I have to show my ID for purchases
2. I need to change the address so I can get my name put on bank accounts/house/car/etc but can't get my name put on any of them because I don't have proof of residence, and can't get proof of residence because my license has the wrong address, which I can't change because I don't have proof of address, etc etc. :rage

My SIM card didn't fit in my new phone so I went in to the store to get a new one, despite having my old phone, the SIM card, my ID, and SSN, they wouldn't let me get one without the account holder present because they couldn't verify it was me. And the dude got snippy with me because I dared to say "really?"
:beli
It'll take you like 4 minutes to cut a sim card down to nano-sim size using a pair of scissors and the first template you google. I understand it's a little scary because if you mess up, you can be without a phone for a few days but I did it once in an emergency without screwing up.
I'd say dealing with mobile company customer service is an emergency.

Hey guys, been thinking about taking another break for a while and now that Bore-con's wrapped up (and I've posted the NHL thread...), it seems like a good time to do so.
I've gotten better at knowing when to disconnect, so these periods seem to be getting shorter and shorter. So I dunno, probably back before Thanksgiving if anyone cares lol.

Coming off a month of what I would call a severe depressive episode, combined with some nagging injuries hitting a breaking point, terrible sleeping, and a lot of over eating, I'm having my first real work out in the gym in weeks today and tbh I'm nervous. I feel like I'm starting from zero again :stahp

I'm still waiting for this damn shit, according to tracking info it spent ages in Turkey for whatever reason, then finally left Turkey but instead of coming to my country it went back to the original country and then the tracking info becomes hazy, it says on the same day that it was AGAIN in Turkey but also that it has left the original country and there's been no new info since then and that was last month. So I have no idea where the hell my stuff is.

All these copper pots and pans are bullshit. That non stick shit works for all of about 4 things you cook and then things stick WORSE than normal pans. The only upside at that point is you can use use real scrubbing/scouring pads without scratching them up.But the non-stick stuff dies and becomes landfill in 4-5 years.

I could buy it though it depends how high the bar you put for what is a "close" or "best" friends which is largely subjective. Personally I would count a handful of those at best and most of them being pretty far away geographically speaking now.

That feeling when you feel shameful that you are breaking down to buy shit food out of vending machine. Only to realize that you don't have enough money for the snack you really want.

Bismarck is actually a huge fan of Witold Gombrowicz's Pornografia.
Upon the 2009 American release, Michael Dirda wrote in The Washington Post that Pornografia "seems as sick, as pathologically creepy a novel as one is ever likely to read. In some ways, it resembles a rather more polymorphously perverse version of Les Liaisons Dangereuses or one of those disturbing fictions by European intellectuals that blend the philosophical with the erotic: Think of Georges Bataille's The Story of the Eye or Pierre Klossowski's Roberte Ce Soir. ... Through its sado-masochistic material and its almost Henry Jamesian analyses of human motives, Pornografia underscores Gombrowicz's lifelong philosophical obsession: the quest for authenticity." Dirda continued: "Certainly, most readers will find Pornografia perturbing, or worse: repulsive, confusing, ugly. As Milosz once said of Gombrowicz: 'He had no reverence whatsoever for literature. He derided it as a snobbish ritual, and if he practiced it, he attempted to get rid of all its accepted rules

On the flight back I wore a sleep mask in the hopes that this would convey the same message (I flew an A380 but didn't pay for a premium seat so the flight crew was more ethereal than corporeal) and nope, like clockwork I was shaken awake out of drug-induced sleep to be offered substandard food.
Need a dunce cap or something next time I do an international redeye. (Or, more likely, to just pay for premium seats where I'll actually see the flight crew more than 4 times in 11 hours.)

I'm getting really bad reactions to cafine lately. Like when I drink too much I start crying and can't stop: not an emotional cry but just a leak of tears. It's also makes my anxiety issues go to 11.
I always check a bag. I don’t really get why people think it’s some big hassle. Never had an issue with it. Way easier than shoving everything in a carry on for me at least.

I love these. We have to do video trainings for this every year and every HR department I’ve ever suffered under has clearly loved making them. There was one years ago where a woman was walking past a dude’s open office door, and he had porn blasting (with audio) on his monitor, which was also facing the door. Then he notices the woman, turns to face her, and puts on a “Hey, how you doin’?” face. Then I had to answer a multiple choice question that a non-Republican child could answer.

This dude came up to me in the gym all bouncy and wild eyed talmbout carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders and how he'd rather have faith in GOD to carry the weight than carry it all himself and be useless to everyone afterwards. He then asked me about my relationship with my parents which segued into a rant about a show his wife watches where physical trainers train these kids who had bad or no parental relationships and the kids go to extremes because they just want to please the only parental figure they have in their lives, but when they fail they feel like they've been crucified just like Christ himself. And that's a CULT, brother. :doge
He then began talking about Tiger Woods' downfall being caught having poor faith and how it ruined his golf play for 10 years because he was exposed. This went on for about 15 minutes. :doge
But then he kept circling the area and came back to my area again about a half hour later talking about passion and motivational speaking and returning to the topic of Tiger Woods' infidelities, saying not everyone has the opportunity to sleep with any woman they want outside of their marriage, but would they if they had the chance? We don't know, but Tiger did and got exposed and he suffered. :doge
He left me with "Faith heals, not golf". ???
He continued to bounce around and circle my area and walkways and I was pretty sure he was waiting for me to finish up so he could follow me out.
Honestly don't know if he was trying to fuck me, pull me into a cult, pull me into church, start a youtube page, or all of the above.
finally found a coffee shop I really like, but the people running the place seem to love israel :doge bunch of merch in the place(tea and other shit) made in israel and with the funny writing too :yuck
if they just loved israel and didn't go out of the way to import their shit, I'd have no conflict about enjoying my bean juice there. even if they had magen davids all over the walls ::) the two girls working were cute too :stahp

A coworker at my last job told me they were likely gonna have to move out of their place because they can't afford the actual rent of it and the building owner was selling it. I offered my extra bedroom and said they could move in if it happened, but I think maybe I was hoping it never would, and of course now they need it. They would probably be a pretty good roommate, but I just sort of like living alone and I'm in a weird spot emotionally right now after my break up. But like, I also would feel bad having offered this up so many times and then turning them away when it comes time to make good.
Blech.

I'd make it clear this is just a short term, get back on your feet kinda thing until you find a place. Give him like 3 months. Is he paying you rent? Because he should be and that extra $$ will be nice to have.
Might be a new and interesting/good experience for you. You never know what'll happen.
I mean you can just tell him no, but yeah it's kinda dick, but it's your living experience.
For some reason, women toss a lot of toilet paper in the trash can though.
bluemax: OOF.. been there.. with a friend who I did make it clear was supposed to be a temporary situation... just a "stay in our guest room for SUPER cheap to get back onto your feet." Without going into details he immediately started making a huge impact on the house.. for instance, despite the entire point being him being able to save up money he threw out his bed from his apartment he was moving out of and had a brand new bed/mattress delivered day one... moving our futon into the garage without asking.. moving the dresser out of the guest room.. it gets worse from there.
And this is a guy I'd loaned fairly large amounts of money to in the past and then forgiven those loans out of kindness.
He's been one of my best friends for a long time but he has this spoiled child attitude about everything.. my wife was incredibly pissed and I had to basically kick him out after 2 months. He never even gave me the rent money he was going to pay me for the 2 months he was there lol
I tried to log in to my GameStop account from my phone to see if I had enough points for free stuff and it hit me with the old “looks like you’re logging in from a new device blah blah” okay whatever, text me a code. They texted me the code and have continued to text me the code every 15 minutes or so for the last 36 hours. I thought it would stop eventually, but now I’m not sure.
I've got whatever toku's got... pray for me

Man.. got hit with something really weird.. I get both migraines and cluster headaches so thought maybe I was having a cluster headache attack last night but this is something different.
Feel like I have the flu but I'm not running a fever; although I feel constantly over-heated... feeling weak as fuck, randomly spiking headache pains.. and basically slept for 12 hours last night and still feel exhausted.
Luckily between contracts and just studying for some certification exams because I'd be a wreck at actual work.

Got a pretty good job offer, but it comes with a paycut. I could absorb it by dipping into savings for about a year. It'd be a 9-5 and I could keep my sanity possibly. But now that I'm faced with the very real possibility of leaving my job I don't know if I could deal with a 9-5, it'd be like retiring. Also I have debt to pay off and I'd rather have that done sooner than later. Ugh. decisions decisions. I know it's not really a struggle, but I worry I'll make the wrong decision either way.
I missed what happened with work? why was your trip canceled?
Sometimes when I'm feeling super lazy and didn't get enough done I just take a couple days off so that the amount of work I have to get done is minimized.
But hang in there man; can you tell your boss working from home is hard for you?

Forgot my dog's birthday and didn't get her anything. She's 10, which is getting on. She's kind of past the age of material gifts, like toys and stuff, so I think I'll surprise her with a large family portrait of me she can hang on the wall when this thing is all over.
It's really hard to stay motivated to do your exercising outside when it's spring and it's in the 40s and gray every day :sadIt's harder to stay indoors when it's beautiful spring weather and all the cherry blossoms are blooming here in the Nihon'z.
there is no vaccine, so she ain't wrong ;)
I've realized i have a strange habit. Whenever I get nervous I start cooking stuff. This can take place at almost any time of the day if I'm at home. Like i just made a bunch of hummus before noon because i don't know how a meeting's going to go today. :yeshrug
We just went out for a brief walk to let doggo do her business. Came back and saw a next door neighbor walking towards us from the mailboxes. Both of us said hello and my wife waved. The neighbor just stared right through us like we weren't there. My wife was kind of taken aback by it, but whatever, we just walked on...with the neighbor right behind us. I turned around and looked at her and she continued to just stare right through me. We went to the door and my wife called her a bitch (not sure if she heard it) as we went in, lol. No idea what that was about- this is not someone we really talk to, but everyone around here is pretty friendly and always greets each other. I just talked to that same neighbor a few weeks ago, too.Congrats you're a ghost

So you could clearly hear them, but didn't shout "hold on a sec, be right there" or something...?bork's kryptonite:

So I have been lots of headaches over the past couple of days, which isn't to unusual for me, but it was a bit worse than usual. I put the blame on the weather shifts.
Turns out we accidentally bought decoffeinated coffee and didn't notice it for the last week . So I probably just had caffeine withdrawal for the last couple of days :doge
my dish washer is leaking
My fridge also ran away.Should've let that sink come in.

Not that this changes anything but I tend to like DuckDuckGo's utilization of Apple Maps for overviews. Found it frequently snappier and with less street/road names hidden at certain zoom levels. Also fond of its dark theme matching.

every week I'm finding silverfish in my fucking bedroom and I have no idea where it's coming from. :mafnest is in your ear ;)
Well son when one silverfish loves another silverfish...
Before silverfish reproduce, they carry out a ritual involving three phases, which may last over half an hour. In the first phase, the male and female stand face to face, their quivering antennae touching, then repeatedly back off and return to this position. In the second phase, the male runs away and the female chases him. In the third phase, the male and female stand side by side and head to tail, with the male vibrating his tail against the female.:leon

Long ass company email today, which boiled down to the following:
The company is proposing at least 85 redundancies.
the company policy of requiring holiday to be taken in the calendar year (“take it or lose it”) will stay. (previously we got the ability to take it forward this year)
Extension of the shorter working week to end July when it will be reviewed again.
Basically at this point looks like the house is gonna fall through thus meaning quite a bit of wasted money,
work are being just dick really, the sacrifices I and others made by taking a 20% pay cut to save others jobs
seem to have just lined company pockets and they're now just doing what they wanted to do anyway.
Luckily my CV is up to date so going to fire that out to a few agencies today just to see what is out there for me.
I can't keep working at a place that's quite clearly taking the piss out of me. I just feel fed up with it.

So I go to the post office first thing this morning, and they're like "Oh gee, I guess that came here and we just stuck it in the PO box of the guy that has the same name as you, we'll call him and ask him to bring it back."

Fortunately his wife was home and she said she's bring it back in a few minutes and the post office lady said she'd put it with my employer's mail for them to pick up later (sure, great, what could go wrong?) Then she was like "Hmmm, I wonder what we can do to stop this from happening in the future?" I'm like I dunno, just look at the address on the package? Somehow all my other mail manages to get to my house instead of a random PO box in a different town. Then she says "Maybe you should just call if you're expecting a package so I'll know if it shows up here." I'm not calling every time I get mail, lady. gtfoh
:notlikethis
That doesn't sound like him, but I'll check. You're welcome.
bork moment of the day:
I had two packages that were supposed to be delivered yesterday through USPS to the mailbox at my house; one of them was delivered correctly, the other one said it was delivered to a Post Office in the next town over. So I go to the post office first thing this morning, and they're like "Oh gee, I guess that came here and we just stuck it in the PO box of the guy that has the same name as you, we'll call him and ask him to bring it back."

So I stumbled into $230k worth of beef and 7 hottubs, and I really don't know what to do with it all.
You know you could just go buy another stick that doesn't smell terrible?

So the insulin prices went from $42 for 3 vials to $188 for 3 vials to $220 for 3 vials in 3 months. Eli Lily just keeps upping the price. But as the user has an insulin pump, everything pump related including insulin is supposed to be 100% covered by Part B. However, neither the pharmacy nor the doctor's office ever did the paper work to file it under B, so we've been paying for insulin for years that should have been free.Have the pharmacy or doctors office resubmit the paperwork, and inform the insurance agency. You should receive a refund. Bonus points: have your HR department at work handle it for you.
:beli
It's not a work related thing. The pharmacy and doctor's office are sending back and forth the paper work. Allegedly. I've seen how long this shit takes so it's a good thing I didn't wait until I was down to one vial left.Sorry, I just realized you might be from a country with socialized health care. Bad assumption on my part to assume you’re American.
I am American. It's a senior on Medicare, not work insurance
I shouldn't have to do anything but wait a few days. It should be all handled between the doctors office and pharmacy.
Ya haven't had mine cut since Jan. Are you sleeping with it up?
No advice really but its really great that you want to engage him.

.NET5 + WinUI get to access all the shiny technologies Win10 has
Yes, this combination is going to be the winning formula going forward. If you had to pick a new technology to build Windows apps today, this is going to be it.

I literally just got this holy shit :dead
Got a new SSD, want to reinstall WIN10 but have no spare USB stick lying around.In some cases modern motherboards have a Windows 10 installation build in and you only need a serial key.
Whats the best/easiest/quickst/most trustworthy way to clone my entire C: drive to the new SSD, and then reinitialize/reinstall WIN10 with keeping all my files?

secondary monitor died so I go on amazon and after a while find one decent price to buy and order it, was coming Tuesday
on Tuesday afternoon the status changes from "delivered by 10pm" to "delayed in transit" and that's all it's said since then, there's like no explanation for what this means
:existential

Contact Amazon and get another one sent out or a refund.I did that this morning as the bot was up on the page and I told the very nice girl from India that I'd just like another one sent. So she sets it up and it's being shipped for Sunday. Easy peasy.
I like Laphroaig QC better than 10. Use to be my go-to until the LCBO raised the price by 25%.The quarter cask is the best balance of peat in an Islay Scotch. I love it. It’s my go to when I want that flavor profile.

What phone doesn't ship with a cheap plastic case these days?

Absolutely not. Never have, never will be stupid enough to buy Apple shit.What phone doesn't ship with a cheap plastic case these days?
Are you familiar with Apple? :lol
You might have some anger issues.
I mean, I do, too.
It's good to work on anger issues. Getting rid of anger as a reaction will help us live longer.
Just talked to the tenant again - she is an activist that did a counter anti-mask protest last weekend and the guy that showed up was the boyfriend of the lawyer of a notorious anti masker. Apparently, she has been getting harassed by anti-maskers and white supremacists all week.Ask if they want to play Splatoon
I mean at least they won't charge you.
Or will they
3 hours of phone hell is karma for deleting my post

Got rear ended today, neck/shoulders/back already starting to give me issue which means I'm going to be fucked up and dealing with pain for months from this on top of all the pains from my other health problems.
Also fucked up the back of my new Tesla.
My life is so busy with so much shit going on I did not need this in my life. Turning 40 soon and it's a cursed birthday.
Thanks, definitely feeling crummy. I fucking hate getting old and brittle where stuff like this will fuck you up. Been icing my neck & back and man, icing your neck is both difficult and hard to multi-task and do anything else while doing it.

No insurance, doesn't even own a car or drive one, they were on a trip and rented a car.
What are you doing driving in LA if you never drive, no wonder they hit me :derp
Went to the doc today and basically said nothing seems too damaged, so just give it time and start PT if not healed in two weeks. I'm ok but I just feel like I got the crap beat out of me. Can't sit and eat without my back & neck getting painful after a few mins. Luckily my Herman Miller chair I bought a few years ago for my back support works really well and doesn't do that so I can sit for longer periods of time with just moderate neck pain. Doc said I can start using heating pads and stretching in another day or two and try to help speed up recovery.
Bars don't card me anymore and someone recently uploaded a picture is me and it's clear why

While in the USA, I watched a shit-ton of 8-Out-of-10 Cats Does Countdown on YouTube. The advertisements drove me nuts, so I opted in to the Premium free month, and now I don't think I can go back to the advertising version.https://www.reddit.com/r/nordvpn/comments/nu4st9/youtube_premium_subscription_for_way_cheaper/
...seems like the (included) YouTube Music even works here in Japan.
It seems ridiculous to pay more for YouTube than I do for Netflix, but those goddamned ads really do drive me insane.
Moved into my new house in September, was meant to get internet and TV in on September 22nd, it's now the 25th. Engineer came today, basically by the exchange the pit has collapsed.
So that means my ass is gonna be waiting at least another month for them to fix that issue and also come out AGAIN for my install.
I just want internet, using phone data is absolutely shit. Like honestly, if I could go somewhere else and get decent speed I would, but I can't fucking Stockholm syndrome.
I wouldn't be so annoyed, but the customer service has been so shit. None of the internal teams seem to have any clue what is going on between departments.
Alas, yet another phone call in a bit to have yet another argument. Fuck my life!

You're listening to it on a WiiU
Yesterday I would have upvoted that, but today my work laptop is shitting the bed magnificently and I have no idea where to even start fixing it. As may stupid engineering things as Apple puts in their stuff, my problem rate is way, WAY lower on Apple h/w.
My USA Apple Store experiences have only ever been positive. I know, weird, right?
