  1. Was Eileen the masseuse?
  2. Also applicable to South Austin's mom...
  3. If by "state" you mean "state of mediocrity", then you sir are correct.
  4. Pretty sure that's what the tell me about aggy thread has turned into, no?
  5. The French say HI.
  6. Man, thoughts and prayers for the Lake Travis folks. Some dumbass with Austin Water screws the pooch royally, and costs Lake Travis another foot or two of water. Maybe this would be a great time to drop Lake Austin for some much needed shoreline maintenance?
  7. Man, is there not a way to post the image then click on said image and have it pull up X? The videos are being embedded with no link to the original post which makes it pointless to embed videos altogether. I understand trying to boost performance, but the cost here is user experience.
  8. Seems to be something in UBlock that's killing the script that converts it... EDIT: To work with uBlock Origin on Chrome, add surlyhorns.com and www.surlyhorns.com to your trusted sites.
  9. https://surlyx.com/DropPopNet/status/1883300817807224872 does that work? how about https://surlyx.com/DropPopNet/status/1883300817807224872[/img]
  10. Agree to disagree. Blocking Newly Registered Domains is a great way to keep your kindergarten-level employees from getting phished. Most InfoSec issues I've had around here have newly registered domains involved. There's a reason a lot of firewall companies filter on this to begin with.
  11. We have a 2 story with 2 units. She gets cold and jacks up the downstairs heat, and the upstairs thermostat stays the same. The t-stat feels the warmth coming from downstairs, and doesn't kick on for a few hours, while all the rooms upstairs have the doors closed at night, and they drop like 5-10 degrees before the heat finally engages. Then the kids get up in the morning and she's wondering why they are shivering. Luckily, this winter, she's been the opposite of this: too warm downstairs (set at 69) so she'll drop it to 68 or so, then the upstairs turns into an oven. And getting up to shower in a 66 degree bathroom sucks majorly.
  12. Here's my .02: Reddit embeds are the HUGEST sucks, as they often take 15-30 seconds to load. Twitter is significantly less. But now that you've gone the SurlyX route, you're using a newly registered (1/25/2025 registration date) CDN as a hosting site. This causes many firewalls to block traffic, as all mine block 'newly registered domains' for security purposes.
  13. CSB: My second job out of college was working for a smaller city. I'd assist a lot during the periodic trial dates at city hall. Sitting in the back room waiting for the day's docket to commence, there was a back and forth between the judge and a defendant's attorney. The attorney left, and the judge started going off. Basically, he said you've gotta be a complete fucking moron to take a case to jury trial (in this instance, some prick ran a stop sign and was fighting it.) You just got a jury box full of the 6 idiots who couldn't get out of jury duty, and you're arguing over running a damned stop sign (not word for word, but dang close). And just as they're seating the jury for the trial, they came to an agreement and let the initial jury off the hook. Will always remember that when considering taking ANYTHING to court. /CSB I'd carry 'em if I didn't have so many different cap sizes. Just the two at the house have vastly different sizes. And the one-size-fits-all AmRad Turbo cap is 6x the cost of a regular cap.
  14. x.com/UnbiasedHorns/status/1883361005108887982 Freaking SurlyX...
  15. Surprised this wasn't posted, although it IS a club sport: https://x.com/UnbiasedHorns/status/1883361005108887982
  16. Was checking my Best Buy coupons out, and find THIS doucher who not only parked half way in, but couldn't get that right rear quite in the lines.
  17. Jason's Deli makes you surly? Or sandwich trays?
  18. Protesting Dry January!
  19. I'm in fintech. We don't actively track that, but when you get leveled, you damn well know they'll look at the badge-in data as well as other metrics (login times, meeting attendance, etc). Our new overlords actually make you badge OUT on the way out the door, so I know they can track your overall hours.
  20. It's when you get paid to be in the office to collaborate with your coworkers. When your employer pays you well to show up and do your job, SHOW UP. We're a smaller satellite office that's hanging by a thread, and when people do crap like lunch badging and our office attendance is around 30% (when it should be 60%+), then you're risking getting our office shuttered, not to mention them taking advantage of the Ffrench benefits.
  21. So, which lane is the proper lane to drive in while rapidly discharging a firearm? Asking for Nicole.
  22. The burning cross in front of his dorm probably made him reconsider.
  23. Great, now APD will be rubbing down the pylons with tabasco every evening...
  24. Man, I wish I was a boomer. Well, my bank account does at least.
  25. The late Gen-Z workforce at our office. Coffee badging became big during the RTO wave in the last year or two, but they've taken it even further. Badge in at 11:45, order lunch, then take an hour to an hour and a half lunch, then badge out by 3pm. A solid 3-hour work day where they're spending half of it on lunch. The biggest offenders are based in Austin while their managers are on the east coast, so they don't see this crap on the daily.
