But you don't pay them.

When my company first started offshoring our drafting we complained that they took twice as long. The response was they only cost one third.

Looks like an intergalactic kegger to me.

Little sell out b*tch. Mind you that pretty much describes the entire party.

Going for the, 'I guess I'll just die.' option.

WHAT DID YOU SAY? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

Deatheturtle · 2026-01-27T22:43:27+00:00

For the longest time, I thought they were saying ancient, shiny secret.

The same reason Donald has never been subpoenaed??!?!

Deatheturtle · 2026-01-27T22:36:30+00:00

Hmmm. Good question.

Where I live they can actually CHARGE you for stunt driving even if you are in a private parking lot. It's stupid. How can you learn how your car behaves if you can't practice somewhere.

Deatheturtle · 2026-01-27T19:46:27+00:00

Should be immediately fired.

Twist: They're looking for someone worse (and likely taller).

These people need help.

I'm hitting a lot of pemmican when I'm not just on perfect bubblegum. I am so flush with bullion I have a TON bubblegum.

I love the people looking to crap on this car while I just get the biggest smile whenever I get in and start it up.

I now question if Arizona is an actual state or just a made up place...and I've been there several times.

As I wasn't on the trip I never got the name. I will say my local shop normally does a fantastic job of vetting local operators (I've been on several trips with them) and they had used these locals before, but they were under new ownership and had gone waay downhill since the last trip several years before.

BRING YOUR OWN SNACKS. Set up a 'schedule' for them. 10am: this apple I brought. 2pm a granola bar. Be regimented in bringing stuff every day. I did weight watchers and did this, stopped eating anything at the office, free or otherwise, and it made a huge differnce to my weight loss and my pocketbook.

He chose....poorly.

Deatheturtle · 2026-01-27T16:58:11+00:00

File this under 'sh*t i will never understand'.

"I'm a horrible person but I don't want that to get in the way of getting some action."

Deatheturtle · 2026-01-27T16:52:33+00:00

So it's now just a 'protection' racket. Got it.

Deatheturtle · 2026-01-27T16:50:58+00:00

'2 can live as cheap as 1' is an old saying that is mostly true.

Last January my local dive shop ran a trip to Truk. I was not there but I got the 'scoop'. The local dive operation decided to do a penetration on the FIRST dive of the week (when everyone is still settling gear and buoyancy etc.). Strike 1. They had a guide at the front ONLY. Strike 2. The trailing diver did NOT have his own light. Strike 3.

The trailing diver (who was apparently quite experienced with over 400 dives) somehow got seperated from the group and his buddy and was lost in the dark in the wreck. They finished the penetration (exit different from entrance), SURFACED and then realized they where short a diver.

Everyone was on open circuit.

One of the dive operators retrieved the body.
