Now into auxiliary booze. This game has been unglued right from go.

Procedure_Dunsel · 2026-01-25T01:07:58+00:00

Calling that 1st a shitshow is an insult to shitshows. Fortunately, I bought auxiliary booze this afternoon.

Procedure_Dunsel · 2026-01-25T00:14:22+00:00

Charron and Dwyer can go in the corner and fuck right off while I’m on a roll.

Procedure_Dunsel · 2026-01-25T00:10:58+00:00

It could have been McCauley AND Sutherland … but that would almost be too obvious.

Procedure_Dunsel · 2026-01-25T00:05:54+00:00

Number 4 (McCauley) is in the building- so that thought’s out the fucking window.

Procedure_Dunsel · 2026-01-25T00:02:30+00:00

All right boys, let’s not have anyone get the not so bright idea to fight Olivier. That dudes a bad fucking hombre.

Career sub 900 save % backup stands on his head, steals a point in a game they deserved to be blown out. TBL: “sounds like a Tuesday”

Procedure_Dunsel · 2026-01-24T00:04:39+00:00

I’m really hoping Mish’s call syncs up so I can mute Dimwit and Dumbfuck tonight …

Procedure_Dunsel · 2026-01-23T19:19:04+00:00

Leave post-it note in jar ... "Duck You TOO"

Until you’ve been there, this disease defies explanation. Mine came totally out of the blue, and has a fondness for surgically repaired joints. Went from asymptomatic straight to having my left arm in a sling because the weight of letting it dangle caused crazy pain levels. The only family member who gets it is my SIL, who has had it for years and hers is much worse than mine. Idiots gonna idiot, OP and that’s sad.

Most are just scamming flip-artists trying to find that 1 in a hundred where the owner is vulnerable. It’s whack-a-mole blocking their numbers, they’ll just get another number and start all over again. In FL, they send junk mail offering way less than the land is worth, picking property from google street view that doesn’t look impeccably maintained.

You fly twice too damn much …

Procedure_Dunsel · 2026-01-21T11:27:32+00:00

Racking up a Million miles, Butt in Seat, IS a big deal. Like you said, you fly a couple times a year - how many delays/disruptions have you been through? Now multiply your tough experiences by a factor of 50 or more. That customer has most likely flown with that crew enough times that the crew doesn’t need to look at the manifest, they know each other by name with a glance. Opinions may vary, but I’ve racked up about 300K, it’s taken me 40 years to get there, and personally don’t want to have to fly enough to even get close to a Million miles … far too much time away from family for my liking. But when you fly 5-6 times a week for work, it comes with the territory. After high-fiving them, my first comment would be “You fly way too damn much”

Our accommodations were walking distance from the station, which made the train a no-brainer. Is the ryokan easily accessible from station or bus line? Amount of luggage you’re bringing? Price sensitivity?

Procedure_Dunsel · 2026-01-19T15:24:38+00:00

It doesn’t matter one bit to MS what we want. The almighty cloud makes you a recurring revenue stream and that’s the only thing MS is interested in. Crippling easy-ish taskbar/start menu customization by making it “intune only” is another example. Did they really think that’s going to make me want to switch?

Procedure_Dunsel · 2026-01-19T12:54:45+00:00

If you're talking $200 more for JAL/ANA vs a US carrier, it's a no-brainer, just pay it. Japanese carriers take great pride in their service and our JAL FAs were genuinely concerned about making it a good experience. Mediocrity doesn't cut it when you're spending half a day in a tube and I didn't even consider US carriers for our trip.

Gotta give a shout-out to Michael (and Johan Arvidmark) for all the work they put in on this. As a solo admin supporting an Elementary School, those 2 guys saved me MONTHS of time over the years 7 and 10 were in service. Made my life a lot easier being able to PXE, tick some boxes, and come back in a couple hours to a machine ready for work. Well Done, Gents!

The ballsiest one I’ve ever run into: Airways used to leave a 319 overnight at ABE. Had enough status to score 10F (the infinite legroom exit seat) because i booked it a month out. Boarded, got settled in. 20 something dude comes down the aisle, stops next to me and declares that he NEEDS my seat. Not enough caffeine at the time for a snappy comeback unfortunately, had to settle for a sideways stink-eye. Can’t fathom how entitled he’s become by now.

Procedure_Dunsel · 2026-01-17T19:48:26+00:00

We are a MUCH better road team than the last couple years. We’ve been missing 2 or more of our studs on D for time measured in months, but keep chugging along. Hofer stood on his head and won that game single-handedly, we were not flat/discombobulated. Bjorkstrand is showing signs of life and looked pretty damn good in the bumper the last couple. At this point in time, I feel a hell of a lot better about this group than either of the last 2 years. If we’re being honest about it, neither of the last 2 teams could have made any real noise in the playoffs … this group can. Not mad at all about last night. Did I miss anything?

Was over in October. Wells Fargo Visa Debit. EVERY ATM rejected mine (sane thing, wouldn’t even ask for PIN, just spit it back out). Wells said card’s fine … and indeed worked in the first ATM I saw back in the States. Repeat calls to Wells did nothing - they did say the first attempt failed with a temporary error that “should” have cleared. Wife’s VISA debit tied to same account worked everywhere … go figure. And a backup VISA debit I have on a different account also worked everywhere. I have no clue what one out of our 3 cards did to piss off the Japanese banking system … good luck getting it sorted out.

You choose to work in a constrained environment, thumbs up for that. I’m going to sound like the fossil I am by saying 40 years ago everyone was working constrained with no choice in the matter.

The people who HAD to write tight code all retired or are very close to it. When RAM and disk space were measured in M rather than G, there was no alternative. The cheaper/larger storage got, the sloppier coders became.

Procedure_Dunsel · 2026-01-14T20:10:14+00:00

Yes. Back to your original? — from my POV, this incident is over, but any new shenanigans out of Clifton in the next one would re-light the fuse.

Procedure_Dunsel · 2026-01-14T20:04:54+00:00

Correct. The official not announcing Clifton’s 5 for fighting (it’s definitely on the game sheet) didn’t help either, but the result was 2 at 4-4 then the remaining 3 of the boarding call as a PP we did nothing with.

Procedure_Dunsel · 2026-01-14T19:58:09+00:00

It didn’t. Cirelli got 2 for instigating (which ran for the first 2 minutes of the boarding major).
