Random talk thread: It just keeps happening

[bork]

Got a bit creeped out when taking the dog out tonight. 

I know someone in my apartment complex who does similar weird shit until I found out that it was all an elaborate ruse to not pick up after her dog when it takes a shit.  All of the effort spent not cleaning it up, it could have been cleaned up instead.

[bork]

Secretary: "I CAN'T SEE TWO SCANS I JUST MADE IN MY SCANS FOLDER!!!  I HAD THE COPY CENTER DO IT FOR ME YESTERDAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND I CAN'T HAVE THIS HAPPEN TODAY!!!  IT.  CANNOT.  HAPPEN.  TODAY."   

Me: OK, let me take a look.

Her: I ALREADY REBOOTED TOO.

I go onto her PC and check make sure that she actually restarted.  Yes, really.  Checked her scans folder from my end and it showed the scans.  For whatever, they only don't show on her PC and are definitely there on the network.  She hasn't been able to view any of her scans for almost a month.

Me: Not sure what's going on here, but I got your scans and I just emailed them over to you.  We'll need to have someone look into this and--

Her: Let me show you something.  [Desktop Support guy] put this little file thing on my desktop.

She shows me a .bat file.  I check it and it's set to delete her scans folder and then run a gpupdate.  I run this and it restores all the scanned documents that she was unable to see before.

Me: How long has this been going on for?

Her: Oh, maybe a year.  They can't figure out what keeps causing it so they made that little fix for me that I have to run.  I just didn't feel like doing it for a little while.

  this is way too relateable. my work has most people working with surface tablets since they are out most of the day and that leads to some file sync issues when they get back. the amount of times i ask "did you restart?" when a file is missing or at the wrong version or something and then hear silence and a "oh, that fixed it" every day is beyond my ability to count.

Co-worker bungled a support request AGAIN

*me starts reading into this shit*

Client: "My contact form is getting spammed can you remove it?"

Co-worker: "How about I add an anti-spam measure instead"

*me thinks: adda boy, nice upsell there and a good solution to this client's problem, let us see where it went wrong*

Client: "HELP I'm still getting spammed. Delete my form and I'm sure I don't have to pay for the spam measure correct???!"

*me checks so called 'spam measure'*
*Sees a dumb math solving field that says: "what's 1+1?" instead of Recaptcha or any other remotely effective anti-spam measure*

Jesus christ.

Reached my max tired state, haven't ever been this tired even after long hikes, but it was god damn worth it. Relaxing with some Tiger beers in my hotel room and watching the weirdest fucking shit on tv

Google “demurrer”.

but hey, you seem like a fairly decent google warrior but let me help you

This is what happens when you Google too much.

Like, bruh, stop Googling all the time.

Can someone explain to me why I should be concerned about global warming?

This is a good starting point.

i will NEVER google anything. give up, bore

This trip has been great, getting ready for a 16 hour flight + 2 hour short hop to my home city, my only real regret is catching feels in Bali, not buying a pervy lum figurine and mostly I wish that I could go on trips with some of my fellow boritos. I really hope that one day that can be a thing.

[Maiden Voyage]

Looking at the forecast this where I'm flying to: rain, rain, rain. At least it will be above 40.

How about we just stop conferences and save the jet fuel?  In the 21st century, you shouldn't need to leave your house to confer with people. 

[CatsCatsCats]

Too honest and how can I expense booze that way? Quiet, you

[Madrun Badrun]

No booze expenses stay, but you drink alone on skype.  I have this all figured out.   

[Madrun Badrun]

Drinking out of a stein.  Feeling manly.  Also finally got a haircut after growing my mustache out all summer.  I have to say, its the sexiest thing that has ever been on my mouth.

Not stopping shit until after I've been to TGS

Lol got it today. It’s a famicom clone with 30 games on it. I actually need a replacement NES but looking into it, a converter for the games is just about as expensive as just getting a new nes clone...

Send me your famicom games, fam

Flight delays suck. My flight that should have departed an hour or so ago is still 'on time'.

[Momo]

Anyone up for joining me in Japan next year Octoberish?

[CatsCatsCats]

The 30 built in games are so bad like highschool programming finals

The place I was visiting this week took me to a gun range. It was the first time I fired one. Got to shoot a 9 and 45 handgun and a 9mil rifle. It was really, really fun. Now I want to buy a gun.

[Mupepe]

Dooooooo it. Get a 1911. Because I love 1911’s

You have a flower budget? You really are the most adorable poster here

Almost went lucid last night.

Was lost in this dream about me going to some EDM gathering at an abandoned mill (sorry, I live in New England), go outside and see that the engine is gone in my car. I mean, thats ludicrous enough, the fact someone had an engine picker and actually stole it. But dream me panicked. I then walked around a bit, went back to the car and acrually started it. I then questioned my reality. How is my car starting with no engine? I'm fucking dreaming. Car stalls. I wake up.

starting tomorrow, i'll be embarking on two months of thrift. i will not spend any money on eating out, entertainment, alcohol, coffee-shops, clothing, uber rides, christmas, gambling, and above all, escorts. i will cook all my food, only fuck women who do not need to be plied with liquor to spread their legs, brew all my coffee at home, and entertain myself solely with the widely acclaimed hbo series six feet under, which i still don't enjoy. the only exception to this will be a small $20 monthly budget on flowers, which keep me from going insane in my own home. wish me luck

Is this for any particular reason?

Dooooooo it. Get a 1911. Because I love 1911’s

I will definitely keep this in mind when I go to buy.

[Mupepe]

Also. We have a gun thread that isn’t the newly created insanity from Cindi if you have questions or anything.

So ive lost a substantial amount of weight recently. And today was sort of a turning if the tide for me. A fucking 70 year old lady with a nose apparatus for oxygen offered to give me her number at the deli, basically letting me go in front of her. I'm Hugh Jackman now motherfuckers

[Madrun Badrun]

Is Hugh Jackman well know for taking advantage of fucking 70 year old ladies with nose apparatus' for oxygen?

You think you are going to turn over a new leaf or some shit, but actually you will end up making prison wine from orange juice and hitching rides to glory holes.

Speaking of gummies, am I a child for taking vitamins in gummy form instead of pills?

Have you tried taking them in vegetable or fruit form? They come with other benefits.

[Valkyrie]

They’re not as effective for adults as they are with kids, would probably have minimal effect on you tbh. Buy one of those multivitamin boxes so you don’t have to take more than one a day. 👌🏻

[EightBitNate]

I was about to start taking multivitamins but everyone on Reddit said there was no scientific data showing it helps you.

Just going to stick to Vitamin D while we’re not seeing too much sun.

Cant get calcium and magnesium and D from there, I'm in the office too much to rely on activity based D also.

[Huff]

Gummies vs tabs vs whatever doesn’t matter

Vitamins are a scam unless actually deficient in something. 99% of all you need comes from diet

[Momo]

Magnesium and D is all i take really

If you're at all active magnesium is 100% a thing you want to take.

[Rufus]

Particularly if you get leg cramps at night.

[nachobro]

I take Magnesium cause it's recommended for people on keto and I haven't noticed a difference really. No leg cramps though, so I guess thats good. I also take a multi and VitD cause why not?

[Mupepe]

You should assume she wanted to talk dirty and take the initiative by sending her your kinkiest fantasies.

[EightBitNate]

I feel like everything is a placebo on me. Vitamins, ibuprofen, aspirin, caffeine...nothing makes me feel any different than usual.

[Valkyrie]

Vitamins really do help if you actually need them. I had a severely low level of vitamin D, had absolutely no energi and it felt like my body was giving up. I still take a high dose but it keeps me at bay. I dunno, like others say, if multivitamins or low level doses actually do anything at all.

[EightBitNate]

I picked Vitamin D supplements because I heard it helps with SAD but we’ll see how that goes.

[Valkyrie]

Bought my cat her first scratching post, she absolutely loves it!

[EightBitNate]

I got my kitten a similar one last week. He ripped off the ball on the top almost immediately.
