The one that did it for me - I was in the car with my wife and a friend. We were driving down the highway and talking about the clouds we saw. And I said “I wander what kind of clouds those are. Like cumulus? Alto?”

The I take out my phone and type “types of” and the first auto-fill option that came up was “types of cloud” and I was like “there’s no fucking way that just happens to be the highest suggested search prompt”

Isn’t Frank Rizzo also one of the monikers used by “The Jerky Boys”? The prank calling group from the 90’s that used to make tapes?

Yup…

Frank Rizzo – an extremely abrasive, foul-mouthed blue-collar Italian-American New Yorker with bizarre complaints and requests (voiced by Johnny Brennan). Frank curses repeatedly at a potential employer during an inquiry about a job, and accuses the Mickey Mouse character at Disney World of being sexually inappropriate with his children.

What a NY attitude.

“If you don’t get the hell out of the way, I’m going to fuckin help you”

We care for each other, just in a different way.

This is the part that bothers me the most. Why does it now cost more for no RGB? I would very happily put my components in a black metal box with good airflow, but that costs extra now. Back in the early 2000s Lian Li used to make really simple brushed aluminum cases and they were beautiful and perfect. Now everything is tempered glass and RGB, sometimes at the cost of airflow/cooling. It’s insane.

Reminds me of something I read once. If you want to get out of work. Like you’re at work, and you really really don’t want to be there. You can get out with 4 words. You swallow your pride, walk into your bosses office, and proclaim “I shit my pants”

You will have the rest of the day off.

Really depends on what I am doing. Whatever I was previously doing has been been put on an indefinite pause until I can get new clothes and probably take a shower. But I have kids, so the day must go on.

Funny story. LG made something with a similar concept about 10 years ago and it never really took off. The LG G5 was a modular smart phone that was supposed to have a bunch of cool modules, but they never came to fruition.

I had one, but mostly because I loved having a swappable battery. Never had to charge my phone, I would just have a spare battery charging on my desk and I would swap it out before I left the house.

Just learned this in another thread so I’m stealing it and dropping it here.

It’s like Ninite on steroids. Install apps, OS tweaks, debloat, and more from one little app. This is going to me by go-to any time I reinstall Windows.

Check out WizTree, it does the same thing as WinDirStat but is leagues faster. Like not just “this is faster”, like “holy shit that was fast”

Also WizTree sounds like you are whizzing on a tree. Or maybe your some kind of tree wizard. Either way it’s great.

That’s the 2nd place prize?! Imagine what the 1st place prize is!

Hmm, yes, “eraser head”… That’s what I call it too.

I definitely don’t call it the mouse clit. Who would call it that?

Certainly not me.

It’s HR. That’s basically their job. They pretend they are there to protect the employees, but they are mostly there to protect the company.

First time was an honest mistake. Second time… That’s all on him.

Working in IT - Desktop support. One of my co workers picked up a ticket to go replace a keyboard in HR. HR was in a different building and it was mid winter and really cold out. He grabbed his coat and walked over there to replace the keyboard. Apparently he had a fat stanky bag of weed in his coat pocket. It was apparently very noticeable. A phone call was made before he even got back, and he was immediately let go.

This was before any kind of legalization existed in the area.

As a fellow tall, I don’t even buy things unless they are “T” sized anymore. Gave up on it a long time ago. My shirt size is “XLT”. There are sometimes things like work events or other places where they are giving away T shirts and they ask for my size and I tell them XLT and they are like “How about XXL?” and I’m like “No”. I don’t need to add another ill-fitting t shirt to the pile of shirts I will never wear.

Kohl’s has a big and tall section that is pretty reliable. The past few years I have been stocking up on Tommy Bahama clothing. I have a relative who works pretty high up the chain for their corporate office so I am able to get a discount which brings the price of their clothing down from “outrageously expensive” to “still pretty expensive”. It’s damn good quality clothing though. I have the Big & Tall Bali Skyline T-shirt in every color. It’s probably the most comfortable thing I have ever worn.

Whelp we got a whole box of them, so maybe in a day or two we will try again.

Really weird that this question would come up right now because up until yesterday, I would say no. I was at the store with my daughter and there was a person giving away free samples of these frozen dumplings (they were cooked, not cold). My daughter chowed one down and asked for another. Now my daughter is a super picky eater, so I was like “hell yeah, I’m gonna buy a box of these”.

Well we went home to have dumplings for dinner and she didn’t want to eat them.

So now I have dumplings.
