  1. … and there’s probably a vending machine in Japan selling pajamas previously worn by a teenage girl. The ones with piss and cum cost extra.
  2. We had my wife's family over for dinner on T+1 (my side of the family comes on Thursday). I forgot her uncle and aunt both went to A&M for grad school so they were rooting for Aggy. Being 70+ YO Taiwanese immigrants, they didn't care too much about the game, but just stared at me when I proposed a toast after the 'horns won.
  3. At least he has sunglasses on. That CD would put a nice gash on his face if it flew at him. There's a reason workers on construction sites wear a full face shield when using a chop saw.
  4. Past performance not indicative of future performance aside, Sainz has done pretty well at Abu Dhabi the past 4-5 years while Albon has not. I'm a big fan of Sainz and wish Ferrari had stuck with him, but he seems to be happy at Williams and James Vowles seems like a good team principle hiring good people around him. /teamawesomehair
  5. Been looking at odd shaped guitars lately. Should I throw away $260 on one of these? Firefly FFDB aka cheap Chinese Firebird knockoff https://guitarsgarden.com/collections/fffb/products/new-firefly-ffdb-electric-guitar-sunburst-color-1 There are solid color ones for $199.
  6. Anyone think Sainz will have more points than Albon at the end of the season?
  7. We have a lazy susan on our dining table (how asian of us). My son spun it real quick and a glass container flew off shattering on the floor. He said he wanted to see what would happen if he did that. *dumbass* He already felt bad so I didn't give him any more grief. I did however take the opportunity to teach him about centrifugal forces. I may talk about about rotational velocity during dinner tonight.
  8. Nope. East coast business units that do work around DC. We on the west coast are libruls are not fond of that decision. Starting construction without a full set of documents isn’t out of the norm. On most projects we work on these days, the drawings are broken into different packages, eg foundations, site, structural, architectural, etc. But you at least need the architects to “freeze the backgrounds” so other designers can get to work. If they’re still working on the concept of the plan, then yeah, that’s really strange - and will be full of changes leading the project to miss the schedule and being over budget. On projects like these; assuming there’s stone and custom materials, you’ll want to order materials far in advance. Any delay in material releases means the schedule moves right. So yeah… we’ll probably end up with a federal building with plaster and clad with hardy board.
  9. One thing that’s missing from BF6 is hardcore mode. Also, zombies.
  10. /humblebrag Might as well have said Consuela messed up and she’s being fired after she does the dishes tonight.
  11. Sydney Sweenie has weird eyes, WNB.

    Getting old sucks

    Did a 5K Turkey Trot with my kids this morning. Not a good idea since I haven’t run in over 2 years. My cardio was fine, but my left leg and hip is sore sore sore. I used the massage gun for 30 minutes, now going to pop a few advil and sit on the couch until guests arrive.
  13. Pretty damn good.
  14. Apparently no close relationship between the two of them. Looks like Karoline's brother knocked up a Brazilian tourist. He took custody of the kid when they broke up, but the woman stayed plugged into their lives. Anyhoo... fuck ICE. https://www.wcvb.com/article/karoline-leavitt-family-connection-ice-arrest/69547219
  15. Beat me to it. It was on Amazon Prime and I must’ve watched it 3 times. Great premise, script and acting. Too bad it wasn’t marketed well and did miserably. Box office was < $20M.
  16. That video’s gonna come back to haunt him when he runs for California governor.
  17. NGL, I felt like that after lunch today.
  18. I checked with IT and they didn't have any more curved monitors. And since we're already in the red on our G&A expenses, I didn't want to charge any more. Maybe I'll switch it up next year.
  19. Not sure how big your wrist is, but with a watch like this with no bezel and thin case, order it one or even two sizes smaller. I have a 6.5" wrist and generally like biggish, 42mm watches. I had a 42mm Flieger and it looked RIDICULOUSLY large on my wrist. I ended it selling it to a coworker.
  20. Added one more monitor to my office setup. Yes I actually use all 4 and still think it’s not enough. For the house, I ordered a new docking station so can have the same setup. I don’t work from home all that much, but when I do, I need all the screen real estate I can get.
  21. My company should never have taken the contract to build the big beautiful ballroom. We have more than enough backlog in data centers we didn't need to deal with the devil. I'm all for tearing it down and building something more appropriate.
  22. The limp will go away when he dies. But the gold shit on the walls is going to be a lot harder to scrape off.
  23. Background: We're going to Calgary for our Christmas ski trip, and also visiting my wife's good friend who has 2 kids. We've got suitcases for the 4 of us and a large suitcase that will barely fit our helmets, bibs, boots, etc.) So we've been getting tons of Amazon and Target boxes delivered to the house. No biggie since she's responsible with her money and she makes more than me anyway. One box contained a stuffed animal a bit bigger than one of those 2.5 gallon water jugs from the grocery store. Me: Who's this for? Her: Friend's son. Me: Okay. How are you going to bring it? Her: I'm thinking of putting it the big luggage with the ski stuff. Me: The one that barely holds all the stuff? Her: Oh... The woman has a masters degree in bio-stats and is pretty damn good at her job, but can't cook worth a lick and is bad at spatial recognition.
