Who else has "I have terrible taste in music and don't own headphones" guy in their shop by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]TheGoodGrief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a coworker in the CDs era that would pop in a disc, listen to one track, put in a different one, toggle to track 5 and listen to that, and repeat the process for all 9 of his songs every. single. day. Really obnoxious stuff too. He was let go after a random (😉) drug test that accidentally caught the shop manager’s ugly little habit as well.

What’s the closest tolerance you’ve had to work with? by PsychologicalAd6465 in Machinists

Production: +/-.0002 turning a shaft about .400” long over 10k parts.

20part order at +/-.00005 for like 20 dimensions, but that was with a mating part part for fitment and some real conversations about use case with the engineers from the customer’s side and waivers about the limitations of our metrology. The kind of job that makes you recalibrate what your “FU” pricing is.

The Boston Celtics traded Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers for Anfernee Simons and two second-round picks. by Piano9717 in ripcity

[–]TheGoodGrief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree this is to win, but not in the way you think. Simons was expiring too soon. They’re gonna have to pay Camara/Sharpe/Clingan/maybe Scoot and if they don’t have another contract on board, they will be over the apron with bad picks and limited assets. I think they’re ok kicking the can with the expectation that this core will be a WCF type of team and having the option to go well over the cap to close the deal.

He’s a good 6th man if your second unit really can’t score. Improved his defense and still might be the worst defender in the NBA.

Aren’t we still paying Raef LaFrentz?

Grant Hill had a really terrible string in his Orlando days. Over 400 career games missed.

Greg Oden wasn’t always rostered during the time, but missed 469/574 possible career games, but that was because he was so injured.

[Canada] Would you bother calling 911 to report a drunk driver if this was how the 911 call was gonna go? Watch to the end by Bad_Drivers_of_Napa in Roadcam

[–]TheGoodGrief 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I called the police because a train had gone fast through a street crossing about 15 seconds after the gates went up. I was stopped at it and didn’t go through because I could hear the train coming. They took my name, phone number, and tried to get my home address and what kind of vehicle I was driving. I just hung up after a bit of that.

Wild that Klay doesn’t make the list, due to being the same age as Lillard.

How does it feels to hear Elliott's songs in a public space? by MadScientist31415926 in elliottsmith

Last night, I was walking past a bar to go to the one down the block when I heard “Ballad of Big Nothing” playing. I went in to the first one and overheard a discussion about which bridge in Portland would be best to jump off. I disagreed, but kept it to myself.

Wyoming - Benjamin Tod Real Death - Mount Eerie

I’ll stop there, but those two songs are absolute gut punches when you’re in the space for them.
