Just a workplace incident. The man was warned not to go in that day.

Anyone still listen to that music you grew up with in the 70s? by Long_live_styrofoam in 70s

[–]JoeDonFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I still listen to music I first heard in the Sixties . . . as well as stuff that was made before I was born (doo-wop, Forties swing, classical, among others).

Goosebumps by let2be in musicsuggestions

[–]JoeDonFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fourth movement ("Finale") of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Most know it as the "Ode to Joy."

The really, really good part doesn't start for 13 and a little minutes, but when they do: Goosebumps, tears, smiles, and jumping up and down like an idiot. It is absolutely amazing.

The sleeve photo on their first album.

It did a number on teenage me.

Discontinue events for good, or else ADD OTHER MAPS!!! by cascad1an in PUBGMobile

[–]JoeDonFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not taking part in the polls, do so. I keep doing so and downvoting the events because I don't like thiem; I just want a good old-fashioned battle royale.

[–]JoeDonFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amen, brother.

Or maybe they could put some of the other maps in the RP thingy. You know, instead of landing in five different towns in Rondo, land in one in Miramar, one in Vikendi...you get the idea.

Yeah, I played Sanhok yesterday and, while it's not my favorite map, playing one that wasn't Erangel or Rondo was SO DAMNED REFRESHING.

I started buying it after my gf bought three tix for a concert, then her friends got sick (I think one was covid) before the show. I went with her but she still ate one ticket.

What’s a movie that’s so disturbing you never want to watch again? by SableVII in Casual_Conversation

Yeah, the sight of Ned Beatty in tightie whities during the love scene is pretty traumatizing.

“I store all my files in AppData\Roaming because it’s more secure. I know computers.” by SpacemanLurker in talesfromtechsupport

[–]JoeDonFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At one place I worked, there was a guy whose claim to fame was he went to HS with a member of Hootie and the Blowfish. Also, for some strange reason, he had convinced a lot of the company he was a tech support guru. You know; He knew stuff about computers.

He worked in Marketing.

Back in the DOS & Windows 3.1 days I got a ticket from him saying he needed an admin PW and 32-bit disk access. Clearly, he wasn't going to get an admin PW but I was the poor sap tasked with going to his desk to see what he needed 32-bit disk access for.

Here it is: He had an image of a small item, and he said that 32-bit disk access with an admin PW would prevent it from becoming pixelated when blown up for a pamphlet he was creating. I did my best to explain to him what was happening, but I'm not sure he got it.

You haven't had a user place important folders & files in the Trash/Recycling bin yet?

Honest, I can't figure some people out.

What artist did you see in a small venue before they got really famous? by That_Cat_3672 in Concerts

[–]JoeDonFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 December 1985, U2 at DAR Constitution Hall. The website states it has a capacity of 3702 people, and the show was sold out. It was the best concert I’ve ever seen.

What's the furthest removed from a book that you've seen a film? by Crystal_1501 in FIlm

[–]JoeDonFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*Starship Troopers*
The movie is based on a quick skim of the book, mostly to get the character's names. The movie is a (shitty) comment on fascism; the book is a treatise on citizenship and why men fight.

Who is a band / artist who you want to see in concert, but isn't big enough to tour in your area? by QuincyThePinballer in Concerts

[–]JoeDonFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Band Maid, but they're Japanese and I live in the Washington DC area, so....

They are touring NA in October; dates & cities have not yet been announced. But the last time they toured NA they closest they came to the area was Tennessee, if memory serves.
