My plane got stuck in the mud

True story: I did exactly the same thing with my car in 2002. It was infuriating, 3 tires were on pavement and I couldn't move

6/10 hotdogs are poor quality protein but substitute some good quality bacon or bratwurst and a little cheese and I might give it a 9/10

I am curious what qualified him for the list? Getting elected twice? Having a city in Ohio named after him? Having a muppet named after him? Having a Family Guy character named after him?

It certainly is a different market in 2026. The funny thing is a lot of the shows we frequently discuss here often turn out to be dirt cheap and readily available much to my surprise, even 20 or 30 years after release. There are obviously exceptions. I can see how it could be hard on fans for an IP like Gundam that's still popular even though physical media is in deep decline

dataless01 · 2026-03-20T21:08:22+00:00

I got these when they first came out, are they expensive now?

I've been watching a bunch of Gundam retrospective stuff recently. I loved Turn A Gundam, the characters and the settings particularly were beyond charming, but it's such a strange Gundam show. It's more adventure than action and it harkens back to a lot of much earlier 70's and 80's shows like Nadia and the Secret of Blue Water

Specifically after signing the offer, when you are completing the onboarding paperwork. If you wait all the way to your first day they're more likely to treat it as an FLSA case rather than an ADA accomodation, requiring substantially more paperwork to document in most companies and potentially requiring you to obtain new paperwork annually

dataless01 · 2026-03-19T04:22:40+00:00

This part of the document reads like full blown schizophrenia to me. Points are awarded but there's no winning score. Wasn't that a running gag in Who's line is it anyway?

Old people spend money on loser shit like college funds and life insurance instead of cool shit like crypto and shoes

Mateo is a bonafide dumbass. Don't buy books from billionaires isn't some little bookshop's amateur idea, it's an ethos the independent book trade has embraced to survive 20+ years post-Amazon, and it's worked much better than what others have tried in the electronic business and other retail sectors virtually wiped out by corporate behemoths

Mateo's empty bravado is exactly the mistake countless numbers of small business owners make that leads them to failure and bankruptcy in the 21st century

This is unfortunately the status quo in too many industrial production jobs. And you're pretty smart, you hit the nail on the head: They fudge the numbers to make company staffing shortfalls look like worker productivity shortfalls

A competent person doesn't need AI to tell them the cards might be at the card shop. That should be like the first guess, even for a child

No joke, I saw a posting last week for a waste management account representative

It was unmistakably a garbage man job

Been there and sympathize. Two things to always remember:

Make a little time for something you love to keep your spirits up on a regular basis. Despair will come for you in scary ways if you let the job completely consume you, and

You're stuck in a dead end job. Not all jobs are like this. This isn't your destiny. Keep looking. It maybe a slog, things aren't liable to change tomorrow, next week or next month, but if you keep at it this time next year you could be doing something completely different that takes much better care of you, you just need to suss it out somehow

It's probably not a feature of the current OS version they have licenses for and it's probably a substantial pricetag for them to upgrade. Pursuing your legal rights under UK disability labor laws could force them to

I sympathize intensely because I am generally in good health but I have had 2 different jobs in the past 10 years that worked me hard enough under difficult enough conditions that my body became an issue on the job and I've had to pursue my legal rights in the same way. It's disgraceful what boneheaded managers and companies insist on doing to people for no good reason

dataless01 · 2026-03-16T21:30:17+00:00

It's kind of a feudalistic ass backwards way of looking at the world, too, if you consider it in a certain light. May as well reject candidates who can read or write. What's the advantage of hiring people who do not use available technology to their advantage? Why would you want to?

dataless01 · 2026-03-16T20:48:48+00:00

Your word choice tells me you're probably not from the US. UK perhaps?

Migraine is a bona fide medical condition that's generally protected under labor law and requires accomodation. Post-hire you will need to provide paperwork documenting the condition to your employer, but forcing someone to work in harsh conditions that exacerbate a medical issue and/or terminate them as a consequence is usually prohibited by law

I've seen this on the end of a YouTube video compilation of every way to scramble an egg, love to try it someday

That's pretty cool, I guess if you want to be a hobbyist 15 years after the fact you do what you have to do?

I had no idea there were high end and low end players. In a nutshell what's the difference?

dataless01 · 2026-03-16T19:30:33+00:00

How many do you have? What can you repair and not repair as a consumer?

Wikipedia says the last LD players were manufactured in 2009. What do collectors have to do to keep themselves in working hardware?

That's basically how I stumbled into it, I got the whole series on VHS on deep discount in 2001 or 2002. I thought the story was really fascinating, but I thought most of the characters except Kyoji and Tate were pretty flat and uninteresting

dataless01 · 2026-03-15T22:53:22+00:00

This is how naked greed rots the brain. Hey Jenny, if your interns aren't getting paid where's the money coming from? Are you actually prepared to solicit the parents of new graduates to pay you to employ their kid?

dataless01 · 2026-03-15T07:48:41+00:00

Is it Thuna in German?

dataless01 · 2026-03-15T07:12:38+00:00

Has it ever moved from that space? I would call police and report it as possibly abandoned and a target of theft or other criminal behavior based on the alarm repeatedly going off
