  1. Orcas attacking sailboats may become a socialized behavior, so let me say in advance, I for one, welcome our Orca overloads. Or we can train humpback whales (who already hate orcas) to fight more aggressively. https://awesomeocean.com/guest-columns/beef-orcas-humpbacks/#:~:text=In fact%2C while orcas have,cousins out of the area.
  2. Or as they said at my first job. Piss poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part. Yes, I work in construction.
  3. When I lived in Austin, my neighbors would run out and put anything and everything on their car whenever there was hail in the forecast. Reminds me... they had a trampoline in the back yard, and a daughter who I told myself was over 18.
  4. Oh hell yeah. As long as there aren’t any helicopters or low flying airplanes nearby.
  5. If your company name has the word “Unique”, you are hardly unique.
  6. This guy has a very punchable face. Just wish I could get in a jab before his bro' punches him out.
  7. My 9 YO came back with a teacher note yesterday saying he “made an inappropriate gesture with sausage at the lunch table”. I drilled down to the facts in a non judgmental way. He felt bad and started crying. While I was concerned that he was learning stuff like this in elementary school, deep down I wanted to say “dude, that’s not what guys do”. NTTAWWT
  8. "Don't bitch at me! The last time you did it you lost your mom!"
  9. Always wondered why "employees" take that kind of abuse and not fight back.
  10. Anything DC related has been shit. Fight me.
  11. What's a minute out of an 8 hour day? Sheesh.
  12. And they'll still vote for him, because, racism.
  13. Exactly! A classic martini is made with gin. A similar drink made with vodka is called a vodka martini, vodkatini or kangaroo (never heard the last one). https://www.diffordsguide.com/g/1121/martini/the-vodka-martini-vodkatini-or-kangaroo#:~:text=Vodka Martini%2C Vodkatini or Kangaroo I like my martinis the way Churchill prescribes: "Glance at the vermouth bottle briefly while pouring the juniper distillate freely." Bombay Sapphire shaken with ice, strained into an icy glass, garnish with 3 blue cheese stuffed olives. It's my perfect cocktail before sitting down for breakfast dinner.
  14. Did anyone tell Sierra that she can’t park there?
  15. South Austin’s mom working hard for her money.
  16. Me in my 20, let’s go bitch. Me in my 40s. Let’s wait until tomorrow.
  17. Something something South Austin’s mom.
  18. If I did, I would have left to get some milk and never looked back. My wife may be many things, but vindictive is not one of them.
  19. Anyone try aging their own whiskey? Been reading forums where people are buying small charred oak casks (1-3 gallons), filling it with vodka and letting it age. Because the ratio between the surface area and liquid is much higher, a year in the small cask is equivalent to ___ years in a standard cask. Experimenting is totally up my alley, but don’t want to spend $ if it’s gonna taste like crap.
  20. When you guys build the Tamiya cars, are you upgrading to brushless motors and ESCs? I upgraded the transmitter / receiver on my Reflex 14B with a Futaba 3PV. The OEM remote had issues with the throttle and the car would sometimes run off by itself, or couldn’t go into reverse. The 3PV isn’t as intuitive as the basic OEM remote, but the car is behaving like it should now.
  21. 7-8 years ago, I was going to fire a woman for performance and character issues. She ended quitting 2 hours before we were going to sit down with HR. I ran into her at a conference and we chatted for a few minutes. She went to work for a competitor which has an ESOP and that’s all she how she would be so rich when she retires. She’s still holding a grudge after such a long time. It was this type of behavior that triggered my decision to fire her. (Not gonna lie though, wish my company had an ESOP)
  22. At our old house, the contractor tried to tell me it’s okay for the kitchen faucet to be 6” right off the centerline of the window. I noped him until he got the right cabinet size.
