  1. Nobody listens to Turtle.
  2. That looks entertaining, and Malkovich? I'm in.
  3. A bunch of sources are saying September 2.
  4. Watched Last Breath this morning- wow, damn good and worth watching! Thanks for the recommendation @RPM!
  5. From 1998-2005 I worked for a company that had unlimited sick days. If you were sick you were expected to stay out of the office- don't come in and infect others. Work at home if you want or don't work at all... just stay the fuck away while you're sick. I don't recall anyone ever abusing it and it was great not having sick people coming into the office and infecting others.
  6. Not really. Filming was November 2020 - February 2021.
  7. How's your book coming along?
  8. My one experience with them was super shady. I took my Tacoma there for a recall inspection that was required to be done by a dealership. Afterward they mentioned a few things that needed to be fixed (water pump had an "aggressive leak", hoses needed replacing, etc.) and of course they had a quote ready to go when they told me that. I told them not to do it, that I'd have my regular shop check it out. Afterward I called up my regular shop and told them what Charles Maund had said and asked them if they'd take a look at it the next day. I also asked them what it would cost to do all of the work Maund said needed to be done, and their estimate was 35% less than Maund. The next day they took a look and confirmed that none of the work needed to be done. In fact, none of it has yet been needed 4.5 years later.
  9. Keep doing your own research, bro
  10. Pretty sure that all the ones dying are peeps who are still "doing their own research"... we're not losing anyone who matters- it's just the morons who are dying at this point.
  11. Ages ago (2011-ish) I started using it when in low bandwidth / spotty cell coverage areas. It would load tons faster than the web UI on mobile. It was good for that scenario.
  12. Reminds me of a December 1992 night I spent in gen pop in a Harris County jail- luckily it ended up being for only 5-6 hours. Me and a buddy, both white boys who were barely 18, were guests for the night- arriving around 1:00a.m. Once processed and thrown into the common area we sat down against a wall doing our best to stay unnoticed and out of the way. The room had 5 or so metal hexagonal "picnic" tables and a few pay phones along one of the walls. All in all there were maybe 100 or so occupants in the room. I remember a hispanic guy using one of the phones yelling and shouting constantly to the point where all of the black peeps were yelling at him to shut the fuck up. He refused to shut up and continued yelling into the the phone- this led to the black inmates ripping him away from the phone, mid conversation, and bashing his head against a corner of one of the metal picnic tables long enough for him to pass out while bleeding heavily and collapsing on the floor. Some guards eventually showed up ~10 minutes later and dragged him out of the room. It kinda looked like he was still breathing at that point, but I have no idea how that played out for him. Good times
  13. I have to assume I'm actually the asshole/outlier in the holiday gathering equation, even though my limited family gathering is always fun during the holidays. With the exception of our absentee mom faking some kind of outrage over a random benign comment having nothing to do with her, there's no drama... just my brothers and I (and their families) having fun. Oh well. Luckily we're all successful, and I'm by far the least responsible of us all (divorced with no kids), and even with an Emmy & a Peabody to my name I'm still considered the Black Sheep of the family (no room for creatives in this bunch). Good times. I'll keep my appearance brief, but it'll be fun. After the Thanksgiving gathering I'm heading to West Texas for a week to enjoy some quiet time at the McDonald Observatory- Star Party during the Super New Moon- and some drunken debauchery in Alpine, Marathon, and Marfa. Looking forward to reading about more shitshows, and if there's a way I can contribute to the fucked up stories I promise to carry my weight and post something here.
  14. That was the last meal I had there.
  15. Got the Moderna booster today (10.5 months after 2nd Moderna dose) and continuing with tradition I picked up lunch at Texas Chili Parlor afterward.
  16. Finished Season 3 today- great season- very much enjoyed it. Agreed that the constant smoking really stood out. At one point there was a scene with the journalist chick washing her hands in a bathroom and my first though was, "I'm surprised she isn't smoking a cigarette even while washing her hands".
  17. I got the flu shot a few weeks ago and didn't notice any after affects.
  18. The crooks have known this for ages, this isn't a new practice by APD. Also, the city didn't make the announcement- APD did and it was timed to manipulate you into voting for Prop A. Prop A passing will not change how APD responds to your calls.
  19. None of this is a change in how they respond, the only difference is now they're just being honest about the fact that they're not really gonna do anything unless it is a real emergency (a robbery that already happened is not an emergency). Your "concern" simply shows that you had no idea how things were already being handled.
  20. Looking forward to it!
  21. Yes, 2-3 weeks ago someone posted in this thread that they were full.
  22. Username checks out.
