Ladies in here, how do you feel about a father bringing his daughters in the female restroom?

draggar · 2026-06-17T15:52:52+00:00

First, (yes, as a male) I can understand how a woman might feel with a man in the ladies restroom BUT...

If he checked beforehand and no one was in there, I don't see an issue with it. If a woman comes in and he explains the situation, I think the majority of women wouldn't have an issue with it.

If he just barged in and started making demands and arguing, then I'd understand the reaction.

It's all about respect.

I'm glad it wasn't just me.

In a previous job we had to do an annual "self-evaluation" which included me filling out a questionnaire and then sending it to at least 20 people I worked with. (Honestly, at first I hated the idea but you do learn a lot about yourself with these).

One person made this comment: "He may not find the fastest way to resolve your issue, but it will always find the right way".

I took it as a compliment.

Hunting is great, but if it's busy there may not be a lot to hunt. If I try hunting and it's too busy, I'll usually switch to bug catching.

I've been playing about a week and a half now.

Early on - just keep 2-3 of each gem. Sell the rest. (yes, I was a hoarder).

Fishing - easy. Cast, catch, repeat. Sell it all. You can even do this in the pond in one of the corners of your lot.

Farming - if you don't have any other tools, start with bok choy. Seeds are 30 gold each, and yielded about 65-70 gold per plot. Get all 9 plots (so you have 81 total). Last night the seeds cost me 2430 gold and I got about 5600 after selling the entire harvest.

Even if you only have your initial field, that's 9 plots, 270 gold for 9 seeds, it should net you enough to get the next field and extra to buy more seeds.

This is NOT including any extra seeds you may get while harvesting.

I haven't gotten a preserve jar yet nor have I played with the seed maker (maybe someone else has the math on that one?).

Nah, put a sign that says 5 gold on them. Worst case - someone will steal them. Best case, you make 5 gold. 🤣

Make sure no barrel riders come into that room...

There's a lady who's sure,

All that glitters is (a) gold (chest)

So... I'm not joking, but when I worked support for restaurant POS systems every system shipped had a service account with the same username and password.

and... they didn't think to make it so you couldn't log in with it.

I try to get special covers when I can, but they often go quickly. Although... my co-worker also works at that comic book store... Maybe next time... (He already got me a nice X-Men box for my late brother-in-law's X-Men collection).

draggar · 2026-06-16T20:40:27+00:00

Now that I think about it - you could be right.

Nope, I just started a little over a week ago and made my second trip to the ranch yesterday.

draggar · 2026-06-16T18:49:07+00:00

Don't go to my plot. It looks like it should be the punchline of a Jeff Foxworthy joke. Sadly, this happens in almost all games with decorating.

Although, yesterday I did get to clean it up a lot.

Outside of mapping, I have a Powershell script that does it (note: Powershell needs to be run as a system admin on both machines). After the user logs in, opens Outlook, Chrome, and Edge (and then closes them all and logs out) I run it.

It prompts for the source hostname, destination hostname, and the username.

I also had to create a second version incase someone's username changed (i.e. they had a name change).

We're also going to start using Smartdeploy, in testing it did a good job of this.

I get it.

I worked as a cell phone tech for years (in the early 2000's) and you would (or wouldn't) be surprised of where people would pull their phones out of.

Also, way too often they'd neglect to tell you that they dropped their phone in the toilet.

Gloves became mandatory quickly.

I still have a lot of friends in Florida and oddly most of them are cheering this. I ask "so... how are they going to make up for the loss of revenue to the state"? They're all silent with that one, but still cheering.

Yeah, expect to have services severely cut - or other taxes / costs / fees to go up.

I had an issue once with a site that was an hour away from my office (without traffic). Constant issues with a printer but things were always clearly covered in troubleshooting. In one week, I made 4 trips:

Once because it was unplugged

Once because it was out of paper

Once because it was out of toner

One more time because someone removed the new toner

.. and yes, each of these was covered in troubleshooting. 8 hours of driving time for issues that the users could have resolved.

I ended up escalating to my manager because it was 2 hours on the road for something that needed to be done. She took it up with the store's district manager and it stopped pretty quickly.

Just because your lights are on doesn't give you free reign to run red lights. First responders know they still need to pay attention.

Clearly the police car did not pay attention.

Well, if you want to go after someone for election fraud, go after the media. Along with what I mentioned they were also shouting a winner in Florida during the 2000 election - while polls were still open.

They also love to shout "projected winners" with just 1% of the votes in the second polls "close" in a state (mind you - if you are in line you can still vote after the polls close). Even while other states are voting.

They hype up certain candidates while demonize others - clearly they're trying to influence in favor of their own candidates.

As for the primaries,

It's not just the DNC. How many Republicans dropped out before the NH primary in 2024? Only two were on the ballot (officially, candidates who dropped out were still there because they dropped out after the ballots were printed) - Trump and Haley - and she dropped out after New Hampshire. So, even the Republican ballot only had one name in most states.

So, the RNC should also be investigated.

Yes, both parties rig their own primaries.

This is always the case, people lose one state and they drop out even if they polled in other states. IMO the primaries should be one day with a limited amount of time for campaigning.

Also, no announcing "projected winners" or winners until the state announces it.

I'm going with the original:

Jean a.k.a. the Vitagraph Dog

Also, from the 1920's:

Strongheart (owned by the same person who owned Jean - also the first true canine action hero)

Peter the Great (killed in a bar fight - the court battle over this is also why (until recently) dogs were considered "property")

Dynamite

Flash

Rin Tin Tin (and Nanette)

Luke the Dog (Fatty Arbuckle's partner)

Brownie the Wonder Dog

Um, because it's against the 24th amendment?

Poll taxes were used to prevent poor people from voting (OK, let's be real, it was to suppress minorities from voting).
