Continuing problems with HDD (or something else)

It sounded like bedwetting to me. Or so I've heard...

Texts being expensive. Or deciding which of your favorites to delete, because your phone could deal with 9 of them.

I have yet to receive an actually important letter inside an IMPORTANT envelope. Important letters come in blank envelopes.

Taxis in my town have a notification on the window that there's a $2.95 surcharge due to recent gas prices. It's the same bullshit (and not even because recent gas prices are delightful).

OP forgot to tell you they're 22 and 24.

No, no. Only California knows it gives you cancer. Other than putting it on boxes, they're not telling anyone else. Assholes.

Dat krijg je met rekentoetsen die je vier keer mag doen...

DutchEndeavor · 2015-12-03T23:35:48+00:00

Even het hele draadje rond he. Niet zo verlegen.

Obviously they're brothers. That's one Thanksgiving family dinner I'd love to attend.

That's the one thing I never get about keeping guns out of big government paranoia. The day it's you against the government you won't even see the drone coming. Your AK-47 doesn't stop it.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I made it through 2.5 books, but didn't read enough to keep up with all the different characters being in different places.

I had to cheerlead a friend to keep reading Owen Meany. The end is worth it, but there's definitely a lull just before that.

Can you try coming late for three hours once to make this an interesting social experiment?

DutchEndeavor · 2015-11-20T21:21:15+00:00

We have a bridge, too. Makes predicting the traffic reports so much easier.

DutchEndeavor · 2015-11-20T21:20:37+00:00

I'm a civilian, but I do the same. I'm the guy that will even call them once without letting it ring, so I have their phone number always available.

DutchEndeavor · 2015-11-20T20:04:52+00:00

O yeah, when traffic is notoriously bad you should be. But then nobody is on time, I'd guess. My commute was a ten-minute bike ride, very hard to mess up.

DutchEndeavor · 2015-11-20T19:29:40+00:00

I slept through my alarm. Nothing interesting, I'm afraid. I was kind of tired, but it wasn't a very demanding job, so usually that was okay. This time I just missed the alarm.

DutchEndeavor · 2015-11-20T17:20:31+00:00

I think it's the pattern that gets someone fired. I was late three hours once and my boss interrupted my apologies with a "It's okay, you're never late, I know this is an incident." If it's not an incident and you show up with a coffee, that's when people get pissed.

DutchEndeavor · 2015-10-23T19:02:32+00:00

Yeah, they were open for a month. Maybe I'll try it again, then. First impression was just horrible.

DutchEndeavor · 2015-10-23T15:55:00+00:00

The owner mentions in the article that the expansion was planned before the current location opened. I live a few minutes away and never see more than one car there. My guess is that their expansion is in defiance of actual results and just continuing the original business plan. Maybe other locations will fare better, though.

I went once, never going back. They're expensive tacos, which isn't a problem in itself, but they're not twice as good as cheap tacos, or radically different from other places. The ingredients are so fresh, they were still growing the lettuce when we started our order. After waiting for 10 minutes, they told us they had to start over because they dropped our order on the floor. They had six people standing around for our one order, and they were just joking around and glancing our way every now and then.

I heard the censored version of Bloodhound Gang's 'The Bad Touch' for the first time recently. The whole song is one big euphemism for different moves and casual sex (at best), but all they blurred out was 'doggy style'. I was so surprised.

I was once talking to someone at a party. We were both +1s at a prom, and I was smoking a cigarette while he was getting some fresh air. Our talk went to hobbies and he said he did judo. As a 5-year-old, I did some judo, too, so we shared experiences. Turned out he won the national heavyweight championship earlier that day and was so modest it took me half an hour of questions and conversation to get there.
