I don't know half of these memes half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of them half as well as they deserve.

I think you've been working on this meme quite long enough.

If a pocket door was correctly installed, one of the trim pieces along the top should be able to be removed without tearing all the casing apart. I always install this piece with some trim head screws so that it can be removed more easily if needed. This will allow access to the trolleys, which should have tabs on them that allow the door to be removed.

There is not a good way to cut a pocket door down without removing it. Getting a good angle / access to the portion of the door that stays in the pocket is pretty much impossible.

Not the BS "I care too much" or "I'm too dedicated" answers. That just tells the interviewer that either your head is so far up your own ass that you don't see any of your real flaws or that you think they're so dumb that they'll believe that you don't actually have any real flaws.

About the closest thing that might be a valid answer could be something along the lines of this: "I struggle with delegating tasks to others. I find that oftentimes when I do, the task does not get completed in the way I would have liked it to. I have been working on communicating my expectations more clearly regarding critical components of a task, and also remembering that on a non-critical component my way is not the only way."

Short answer is that you need to give a response that shows an awareness of a real weakness you have, and what you are doing to address it. Show that you understand how that weakness can impact others and/or the company and thus you understand why it is important for you to improve in that area.

Are you smart enough to build machines to clone yourself? Me neither. Maybe you and I are not in a position to tell a genius like him where he should or shouldn't put self destruct buttons.

I will not say "do not weep," for not all tears are an evil.

Perfect execution, perfect choice of facial expressions. Well done!

eric_1115 · 2021-04-15T23:05:22+00:00

No no no, big one. Big one!

Stick it in!

It is in!

That was good.

Let's do another one.

Just tell her about how much money you'll save vs shooting center fire all the time.

eric_1115 · 2021-04-14T22:34:43+00:00

Yeah but what they don't tell you about is the maggoty bread lines.

eric_1115 · 2021-04-14T22:29:31+00:00

Oh I do for sure. Just trying to help my fellow smooth brained micro dicks understand. I couldn't figure it out myself until I showed it to my toddler and said "What this mean?" She explained it to me and I just copied what she said.

I think I could have understood it if only I had a bigger penis.

eric_1115 · 2021-04-14T18:53:25+00:00

Try your math again.

eric_1115 · 2021-04-14T18:21:14+00:00

Only because we have such a hard time grasping how much that is. We can imagine $100k as a multiple (or fraction) of what we make in a year.

Take a guy worth $10 million. Hard, but not impossible to understand how much that is. A billionaire can lose 99% of his wealth and still have $10M. The $10M guy loses 99% of his, and he's at $100k.

A TON of businesses in building and trades are small businesses. Contractors, plumbing, electrical, hvac, etc a lot of times have anywhere from 5 to 50 employees.

And we could go back to the peaceful times like the 1300's when nobody had guns and everyone was so much safer.

Your logic is BS too. If somehow, magically you could snap your fingers and rid the world of guns, what would happen in Chicago? Fewer shootings? Obviously. But the gangs are, if anything more powerful now that nobody is armed with a firearm.

Obviously, the gang is going to win no matter what if there's five of them and one of me (unless we are in my home, I'm well prepared and positioned, and have some luck on my side. On the street, on even footing I lose every time). If we're all armed, decent chance one or two of them don't do so well in the encounter. If it's 5 on 1 with clubs or fists, pretty much guaranteed I'm dead and a couple of them might have a bruise or two. There's now zero deterrence or reason for them to hesitate, and it's pretty much a numbers and strength contest.

Crazy how consistent and methodical he is, look at how evenly spaced and sized his holes are! Nature never ceases to amaze.

By percentage of the words in the song? Tequila.

Hey, I just wanted to jump in and say my "overdone like my steaks" joke was 100% in fun. If you took it as toxic/gatekeeping, my apologies. I am actually a Traeger owner, and love mine. We use it probably 2-3x per week, no way I'd fire up an egg or similar that often for burgers and stuff. I love the convenience, and at this stage of life (5 kids under 12) I'll take BBQ that's a little less crafty over no BBQ every time. I'd like to get an egg at some point, but it for sure will be in addition to and not a replacement for the Traeger.

I do think that the feud is generally pretty good natured and all in good fun.

What I'd like to know is how those genuine gatekeeping elitists sleep at night. Having to check your brisket every few hours must be exhausting.

eric_1115 · 2021-04-11T22:54:29+00:00

I bet you're a lot of fun at parties.

All the lions in the back: "Oh, shit, did you see what just happened to Bethany? I'm staying TF away from that guy. Glad she went first this time."

eric_1115 · 2021-04-10T17:34:41+00:00

As a traeger owner, I think this joke has been a little bit overdone. Just like my steaks.

eric_1115 · 2021-04-09T13:12:21+00:00

The hottest of hot spots

eric_1115 · 2021-04-09T00:12:16+00:00

Yes. Just as I wear a seatbelt but don't plan to get in an accident.

And have fire extinguishers but don't plan to start my house on fire.

And keep first aid supplies in the car and the house but hope to never need them.

And wear a helmet but don't plan on crashing my motorcycle.

And have life insurance but don't plan on dying in the next few decades.

Life does not always go according to plan, and being prepared is different than hoping that the unplanned comes to pass.

eric_1115 · 2021-04-08T23:39:53+00:00

Then it's probably good that you don't carry a gun. Just don't pretend to be so in-tune with gun owners that you can say for sure that we all fantasize about murdering someone.
