Boring compared to what, PCP? Every trip I’ve had has been enjoyable. Yeah I didn’t see talking dragons or whatever but I had a shitload of fun spending the day in the woods with my friends watching the trees branch off and wondering about the nature of reality. I also got really fucking good at Rocket League for like 2 hours.

That character is named Yuuko.

He just wants Taub be known. How Cuddy make a name for himself on here without upvotes?

I love interfaith dialogue as much as the next guy but we’re talking about a humorous bumper sticker. The audience of said bumper sticker is not going to find that the inclusion of the Buddha enhances the joke at all.

I have a couple lifx bulbs and my partner brought like 8 cheapo Chinese ones with her when we moved in together. It is quite nice. The LIFX bulbs give much higher quality light and better color, but the ability to schedule lights out and wake up to artificial sunrise is incredibly nice regardless. As cool as that is I would not recommend WiFi bulbs to anyone for the following reasons:

1. They are horribly insecure. I have them walled off in their own little VLAN but it still makes me paranoid. I’m no hacker but they have Internet access and radios, so I’m sure there’s a server in Shenzhen that knows our comings and goings, when we have guests over, etc. They also have my IP address and all of my neighbors’ SSIDs so they know exactly where I live.
2. They are a pain in the ass to set up. You have to power cycle the bulb five times, then wait for it to enter a pairing mode, then you have to wait for the stupid app to find the bulb,which doesn’t always work. After that, you have to select your wifi network from the list, which again it might not always actually detect, even if it’s a 2.4GHz network (because almost none of them support 5GHz). Then you have to type in your wifi password. Repeat this entire process for every. Single. Bulb. You’d think the process for the LIFX bulbs would be more streamlined because they’re six times the price, but you’d be wrong. In theory they’re Homekit enabled, which is cool if you have an iPhone unless you lost the barcode they put in the box. Or unless you have an older model. And again, sometimes they’ll just refuse to work. I have a Color Mini that just stopped being smart one day. It’s a really expensive normal bulb now.
3. If you put too many of them on the router your ISP gave you there’s a good chance you’ll start overwhelming it and your performance will degrade. More than like 15 devices total (including the bulbs, smart speakers, TVs, gaming consoles, phones, laptops, etc) and a bottom range router is going to start begging for death.

I’m keeping them because the lady likes them and at present, everything works so long as I don’t touch anything. I’d like to try using zigbee bulbs because they solve a lot of the problems I have with WiFi bulbs but replacing the system I have would be expensive, even after liquidating the old ones on eBay.

idk what Squidward is complaining about funyuns rule

No it’s not. Being misogynist means hating them for being women. There are plenty of other reasons to hate them, none of which have to do with their innate characteristics.

It’s like a fermented mash of grain and grass. It’s a good way to turn corn into better feed. Unfortunately that’s as much as your getting out of me while I’m hung over.

Hosts flat seat -> server workflow gets frontloaded -> servers spend all their time greeting and grabbing drinks/setups instead of prebussing -> bussers have to do more work to get a table guest ready -> hosts start to panic as the lobby fills up -> hosts yell at bussers to teleport around the restaurant as soon as a guest so much as thinks about the check -> repeat

All of this just barely works until someone drops a glass in the ice, or we get behind on a starter, or a piece of equipment breaks, or literally anything goes wrong. And that’s just front of house, when you factor in the drama that can happen back of house when we’re understaffed and FOH demands too much too quickly it’s a miracle that there aren’t mass walkouts.

I live in the death spiral. I have a different seat but we’re all on the same damn ride.

Oh, cows are quite simple. They eat silage and turn it into milk, beef, methane, and more cows. Male cows don’t produce milk. Steers turn all the silage they eat into beef. Bulls turn 1% of what they eat into cum and the rest is used to produce pure, unadulterated rage.

The 2% refers to the amount of fat in the milk. Whole milk is usually something like 3-4%. So 2% milk actually is the “other 98% of the milk” since they skimmed half the fat off. Milkfat is actually not bad for you either*, vitamin d is fat-soluble and taking the extra milkfat out can make it harder for you body to absorb it.

Fat is also flavor, and when it comes to something like yogurt you have to put something else in so it won’t taste like shit. That something is usually sugar. For the same flavor yogurt its usually at least double the amount in the fat free variety. And it still tastes like shit if you ask me.

*the dose is the poison, if you eat nothing but cheese you will die of congestive heart failure

IME customers fucking hate it when you infodump on them when they ask questions like this

You just reminded me of my short bastard super from one of my old jobs. They put me on the prep deck to get all the wash process water off the parts with compressed air before they go into the paint booth. One day they bump the line up to something like 14 feet per minute and tell me that I should stop the line if I need more time for quality reasons. So I stop the line because water is still seeping out. Fucking Mike whips in there with his private forklift and goes “hey why the fucks the line stopped” and hits the go button. A couple back and forths at shift meetings and I give up, because they’ve got me working 5 or 6 10s and I have lost the ability to give a damn. So now the paint is fouling on every fourth part, and when the facility manager comes round bitching about our reworks guess who gets thrown under the bus?

God I hate manufacturing

Lemme at the guy about the milk, lemme at him, I wanna explain some shit to that guy, hey guy how much fuckin time you got pal, I wanna tell you about how cows work

And that’s why mine are on their own VLAN with their own SSID. My TV and my phone are still spying on me though.

Run over wolverine guy and then dynamite the trolley as fast as possible

Go ahead. Keep scraeming “Shut The Fuck Up” at me. It only makes my opinions worse

Time to bag em and freeze em and tell yourself you’re gonna make banana bread.

My life was better before I saw either of your posts. I’m glad everyone had fun. But God, I have to wonder what drives a person to that kink.
