  I had a boss at my first office job that lived across the street from the office. A literal blizzard hit and he still insisted we all come in. I tried my best, but there’s only so much I can control. I left 1 hour early knowing it would take forever and I was still going to be late. I should have said fuck it and called off work, but I was young and stupid, so instead I called in to let them know I’d be late. When I got there I got an ear full about how it wasn’t that bad and he made it in just fine. I showed him a photo of all the snow piling up 5-10 feet along the roadside as it blew in from the cornfields. He acted like I must live in Alaska or something. Like bro how long have you lived here and you don’t know this is a possibility?

  Where I’m at, they got rid of space to put people. So now we have to hot seat our desks instead of having a dedicated desk. Very cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed! I think this applies to any game where you have to explore both the world and the gameplay. It gives you these incredible “ah-ha” moments that you’ll never forget and have an impact on your gaming for the rest of your life. I think for me the number 1 game I had this experience with was Animal Well. Our group played both Animal Well and Outer Wilds for our indie game club and every single person had multiple moments like this for each game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Beds seem to have their own personalities that interact with your own. You likely picked out your own bed and it’s just right for you and feels the best! But then you stay at your folks place and the bed they offer does the job but it’s sort of old and stuff and not as inviting as yours. Or maybe you stay with a friend on their futon and it’s lumpy and the sheets stick to your clothes. Nothing beats your bed at home though.

  Counter point - Justin’s dark chocolate peanut butter cups 🤤

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discuss⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m willing to give you 1 out of 3. No we do not put chocolate on everything. No we do not put ranch on everything, but some unhealthy individuals put it on every vegetable. Yes we deep fry everything and goddamn does it taste good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech will brick its $100 Pop smart home buttons on October 15 - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, I think if companies were forced to deal with the electronic waste they create, they wouldn’t be so chill about bricking devices like this. I really wish there was a law that dictated any electronics you output, you are required to take back. Then maybe we wouldn’t have as many situations like this today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Monday, everyone!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why working from home was such a game changer. I could throw a load of laundry in and fold it during a meeting. I could go to the grocery store on my lunch break. I could use the extra 3 hours a day I would normally take commuting to do things like exercise, cook a healthy meal, or just get more sleep. Fuck the healthcare company I work for that insists that in-person interactions are more important than the quality of life I had working from home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Foolproof advice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That show one just reminded me that when we bought our house and had to start renovations on it, the attic had lots of women’s shoes. Just one shoe from a pair and all different shoes. I have so many questions for the previous owner, but unfortunately they are no longer with us.

  Ah yes, that time we put asians in concentration camps. Pretty cool. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's efficient.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They already make lactase drops and powder you can add to your food. I personally just think it’s easier to take a couple pills before I eat pizza instead of having a bunch of chalk dust sprinkled on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's what's for dinner⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not always that there’s too much butter. Sometimes it’s because the butter had a higher fat content or because the dough wasn’t chilled enough before baking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guess I'll just die⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it depends on the students, but based on the ones I’ve met, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. My family took a trip rafting in the Grand Canyon for 6 days in 130 degree heat. It was highly taxing on the body and you needed to be very in tune with your body during the trip to assure you didn’t get heat sickness. There were 2 people on the raft with my family serving as tour guides and experts. One was an older and very seasoned expert who knew the canyon and its history like it was their very soul. The other was a young geology student who was training to do the same. During this trip, all of us experienced the same physical challenges, but our guides were also tasked with keeping us safe and informed, setting up camp, and navigating any additional challenges that the rest of us wouldn’t be knowledgeable in. Oh and steering the fucking raft through some extremely dangerous areas that even seasoned rafters fuck up sometimes. It was a wild trip, but I’ve got a lot of props for the geologist and student that served as our guides.

  As a former singer I used to bring my sheet binder with me to do exactly this. Id memorize lyrics, work on pronunciation, rhythm, cues, etc. there’s a lot you can do to silently work on a piece of music.

  I just started watching the new King of the Hill season and I gotta say it’s pretty good! Hank’s already got great lines like “I shouldn’t need to call tech support to make a burger.” Which is sort of how I feel about this ad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We bid 10k under asking price because the owner ripped the place up and it needed tons of work. They said they would not accept any offers under asking. We thought about it and decided the house was in the perfect location and made the offer at asking price. They also were not happy about that because this was in 2021 and everything was selling for a ton over asking price. Thing is, those houses you could move into with minimal changes. This house needed abatement and a gutted bathroom and kitchen. We were the only offer and they begrudgingly accepted and tried every which way to nickel and dime us before closing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here. I only eat beef a few times a year as a treat both for health and environmental reasons. But coffee and chocolate so high up the list is more of a killer for me. I definitely enjoy a couple cups per day as well as at least one bite of dark chocolate. Probably should cut back now that I can’t claim ignorance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨literature⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. Some kids need extra motivation to get them to practice reading so it really shouldn’t matter how dumb the subject matter seems. Whatever gets them to open a book and practice is good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But I am mighty!!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the US it’s cheap but unregulated and full of shit that’s terrible for you. Or you can pay an arm and a leg for stuff that’s better but still not up to the standards of most other countries. I learned this by getting a chemical burn in my eye from sunscreen… meant for my face.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's got electrolytes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My inlaws took in a Russian family a few years back. It was quite the culture shock for them to get a giant jar of pickled tomatoes and drink hole glasses of the brine. I like pickles and all, but that’s just too much 😆

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla In 'Self-Drive Mode' Hit By Train After Turning Onto Train Tracks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no sources for this so take with a grain of salt… But I’ve heard that Tesla turns off self driving just before an accident so they can say it was the drivers fault. Now in this case, it would on while it drove on the tracks which I would think would prove it’s Tesla’s faulty self driving plus human error for not correcting it. Either way it would prove partly Tesla’s fault if it was on at the time.
