Pretty great actually. On my first relaxation vacation with no specific agenda in several years. The beach is gorgeous, the breeze is cool and the drinks are flowing. Life can be good, sometimes anyway. Trying not to think about the work stacking up that will be waiting for me on my return.

I would agree if it hadn’t ended on such a massive and tantalizing cliffhanger. I think it’s got another season in it for sure, but it also definitely doesn’t need to be dragged out for several more seasons.

I am the Womprat

What rolls down stairs, Alone or in pairs, And over your neighbor’s dog? What’s great for a snack, And fits on your back? It’s log, log, LOG!

Counterpoint: I deleted my reddit account and no longer use reddit, so reposts from reddit are just posts to me. Without this “repost” I’d have never seen this content.

Hurricane Harvey was a bastard of a storm.

I was up all hours of the night for days on end keeping tabs on the flood control reservoir at the end of my street only a few houses away, it got dangerously close to overflowing but fortunately never did.

Craziest thing, I remember being inside my house in the middle of the day all dark no power, and I hear the unmistakable sound of a military helicopter getting closer and closer and suddenly the house was starting to shake. I ran outside and looked up and there was a Blackhawk hovering no higher than 50 meters directly above my house and a soldier poking their head out the side looking straight down, I swear we made eye contact it was so close. Fucking wild.

Dammit! I did not expect that!

Generally speaking yes, but there are some exceptions.

For example, flashlights intended to be attached to a firearm DO incur a premium for a good reason. They’re subjected to intense sudden movement and vibration, repeatedly, and it takes a lot of extra hardening and redundancy to develop a light that can repeatedly withstand that kind of abuse without eventually knocking core components loose. If you were to try to attach a tactical light intended for airsoft/bb use to a real firearm, its not going to last long. There’s a reason gun lights are as expensive as they are.

Haha nice, thanks!

This is cool, but it bothers me that the inhale cycle doesn’t end with completely filling the circle with blue. I feel unfulfilled, like when the DVD player screensaver doesn’t hit neatly into the corner of the screen when it totally looks like it’s going to

If you’re hearing nothing back from any job applications at all, there might be a red flag on your resume you’re not aware of that’s preventing you from getting past the initial screeners. It could be as simple as the way you phrased something that’s not even necessarily a negative thing. You should have someone review your resume and look into sprucing it up. Happy to help if you’d like, DM me your resume and I can give it a look over and see if I see anything that stands out and might be preventing you from getting to the next step.

Playing Descent II online was one of the highlights of my childhood back in the early days of internet gaming. The community was excellent too, with a lot of custom maps created using the D2 Level Builder, which I got pretty good with myself haha.

Rusty Shackleford…

Perfect example of this is the movie Dogma. Kevin Smith has stated he would love to do a follow up on it, but he as the creator can’t because the IP is owned personally by Harvey Weinstein, and he refuses to give money to Harvey to license or buy it because obvious reasons. So, his own creation is locked away from him because a monster put up the money for the original before Kevin or most people knew they were a monster.

Fueling our cars with tacos would indeed be a lot cheaper than gasoline, but unfortunately the emissions from low Taco-Bell-grade fuel would accelerate global warming

Here’s exactly what you’ve asked for

I used to work for a major shared environment web hosting company that also hosted mail for its customers and the mail was the absolute worst. Both in terms of day to day support of users wanting to connect mail clients and in the bigger scope of keeping our mail gateways in good reputation on global blacklists. All it took was a couple bad actors to ruin mail reputation from an entire cluster of servers, and in shared hosting you’re bound to have well more than a few bad actors.

We had methods in place to try to keep it in check, but it was like herding cats. I left that company several years ago but even then they had been trying to ramp down and discourage mail hosting by offering Google Apps, not sure if they still host mail or not.

I can’t believe the post didn’t include a picture of the stick. I think I speak for every guy in this thread, I want to see the stick so I can judge how good of a stick it was for myself.
