Baristas can get crazy connections lol. My friend had a wedding venue cancel and keep their deposit at the start of covid. Tons of arguments and calls and threats. His (now) wife is a barista and had a regular that was a lawyer, she mentioned it to him and sued the venue for their money back and more, pro bono didn’t charge them anything 👌

There’s a happy medium. I have a slightly newer VW GTI (2017) with a touchscreen but there are still buttons and dials for basically everything. It’s a perfect infotainment system if you ask me :)

You should see a doctor for that.

What does DNA feel like? Smell like?

BI dashboard?

Could be anywhere, it’s legal in a lot of the US but nobody partakes because it draws unwanted attention.

You must really hate going to the movies. If I spend $60-70 on a game and get 50-100+ hours of entertainment from that money spent that’s a dub in my book.

If someone enjoys flight simming it’s not really a question, they will buy this game because it’s one of the best all-around sims.

T9 was supreme.

Definitely, I have a few group chats. It’s good for general memery and snapping funny things throughout the day.

Or a UPC into scientific notation…

I’ve been doing heavy Excel/data work for years and never have I ever wanted or needed anything in scientific notation.

Well fuck. I’d have been okay not knowing this.

Myth busters had to be the worst offender in that realm. “here a 2 minute recap of that things you just saw 5 minutes ago.”

That’s something, lol. I’m not irreplaceable but it would be an absolute clusterfuck if I left, at least for a while.

I do a good job of documenting everything but so much of my work relies on scripts that I wrote and never properly deployed - a mix of python and VBA, and all my reporting relies on an API connection that nobody else maintains and other than a handful of queries I shared, nobody really knows how to use it.

I’m not trying to be shitty but it’s job security.

Damn BC is gorgeous I didn’t realize where you were. I’m used to seeing trail maps like that in Illinois US and it’s just a dirt path through some trees and around a man made lake. I gotta drive about 3 hours to get to anywhere with interesting geography - mostly glacial lakes and valleys in the Midwest.

I grew up in Colorado I miss the Rockies, they’re truly magical.

But yeah rock climbers love giving crags and routes stupid pun names, it’s charming.

Ohhhh it’s like a climbing park. Climbers are a different breed lol.

Well thanks for your candor, I’ve never put alt text on my posts but I will moving forward. 👍

In case the joke is lost on your screen reader, not patronizing, the joke is a play on words: In. Tents. Versus intense.

Not as intense as fucking in tents.

Think about it longer term… All the people struggling at the bottom now have secure housing. More money is free for nutrition, hygiene, they can get better jobs or afford schooling… Trades or higher education. More people have a chance to escape poverty and contribute production, get more money to spend, more money gets out into local economies. So and so forth. It’s a good idea.

Same.
