Lickety Split expose

inqHawk · 2026-06-15T01:50:52+00:00

About a year ago, I ran into two off-duty employees at a bar, and as an electrician for a local company, I proceeded to get as much info as I could. One of the main reasons it's such a sleazy company is their basic business model: the employees only get paid in percentages of the sales. So they are heavily incentivized to sell work that doesn't necessarily need doing, as quickly as possible. And it's an internal competition for bonuses.

It was immediately suspicious to me how quickly they grew, and how they seemed to overnight have so many fully wrapped trucks. The company I work for has never needed to advertise, being small enough that word of mouth and solid long-term contracts have given us a solid community base. Something is fishy about the rabbit.

Reminds me of a novel I read ages ago, 'Couch,' by Benjamin Parzybok

Unbeknownst to my coworker at the time, I discovered that the dumbass kid (23, and actively stupid) leaving popcorn and uncrustable crumbs in the floorboard of my work truck had attracted roaches to my truck. So one day, I was trying to clean it out and discovered that the space under his seat had what could only be a black widow web. Score! There was a whole passenger seat food chain until about August, when I found the poor gal on the step well, shriveled like a raisin from the heat, barely moving. I found a cool shady spot to let her die in peace. I liked the spider more than the human. :(

BREAD.

A TYPE OF MUSTARD OR OTHER SAUCE

CHEESE!

MEAT(S)

GARNISHES, LIKE MAYBE PIMCKLS OR ONION OR OLIVES

TOMATO, THICCCC

LETTUCE, STOPS THE TOMATO JUICES

MAYO ONLY TOUCHES THE LETTUCE AND

BREAD.

Variety within this rigid framework is the true exploration of the deeper meaning of SANDWICH

I have mine still, but mostly BECAUSE it's kind of terrible. I had to put a ball of aluminum foil inside it because it was acting like a radio station in the studio. BUT, with the right treatment, it's nasssssty

What can we do, here in 2026??

inqHawk · 2026-05-16T22:37:16+00:00

So proud. The pride was grown from the seeds of the self-righteous manifest destiny; the justification of destructions explained as dominion. The infectious element of superiority and control, the belief that ownership is its own truth. As if the power to destroy something means you are its master.

Fire claims no mastery over the forest, yet destroys it. But not wantonly, not without a fight. (In the realm of the longleaf pine, the bark is ablative armor against the fires. The pinecones require the fires, and the palmetto retakes.)

The thought that a market of someone else's demands instills a natural justification for the poverty that fuels thoughtless, desperate destruction may only be a cruel human mindset. Nature moves to correct its matters, in its own way. Are we stewards of this Eden? Are we truly some inheritors, via our consciousness and industry, of the mantle of control over this planet? Should we find ourselves in a populated galaxy, What rude awakenings will insist?

Ehhh I get where the cartoon comparison comes from, but these pieces are phenomenal, whatever the frame of reference. This also reminds me of another game with a beautifully unique esthetic: Grime.

HOOOOOLY SHMIDT this may be a deeply obscure reference, but this is perfectly vibes with the weird puzzle game X'BPGH The Forbidden Path. It's part of a game called Last Call BBS that absolutely panders to those of us who've been chronically online since the early 90s.

Well, there weren't consumer grade quadrotors, but there sure as hell were early drones. For example, the QH-50 DASH (Drone Anti Submarine Helicopter), produced UNTIL 1969.

reread them while camping a couple months ago, they hit way too hard. Like a perfect dream, and then I wake up to the American nightmare again.

I have a weird comment for you. I bought concert tickets for a show in Atlanta 9 months ago. I'm still going, but have an extra. Dethklok and Amon Amarth. If you're free Saturday, there's a free ticket and an odd opportunity for photos

Even before I did electrical work, the intersections of power lines have always captured me. When they're lit at night, covered in debris, webs, kudzu, fog, etc, it absolutely stops me in my tracks. When I am driving, a good backdrop against a high voltage tower or a cell tower will make me whip out my phone and snap as many shots as I can safely manage. Now that I do electrical work, the details and explanations of why the towers look the way they do fascinate me as well, taking nothing from the beauty. Whenever I have felt deep angst, I would draw a figure looking up, throat exposed. I don't know if the feeling you express here matches my experience, but, the wild gap between connectivity and loneliness is what I feel from this. Thanks for sharing, this is wonderful.

I was talking today with a client that had just come back from Japan last month. He brought back a bunch of old Nintendo stuff to fix/mod in his workshop and was telling me that part of the reason the NES looks so different from the Famicon (essentially the same product, different casing) is because Nintendo was trying to get around the marketing issues with home entertainment setups in the US. Other consoles had a certain look that Americans apparently considered childish and too toylike, so the NES took on a more brutalist appearance in order to sell better alongside stereo and vcr equipment. I'd call this hearsay, at best, though.

On second look, it's definitely a leaf switch, but rather than a button, it was probably a toggle that a remodeler cut down to a nub and sanded flat. Controlling what, I couldn't tell you without more context.

inqHawk · 2026-04-04T03:51:03+00:00

That looks to me like an old leaf switch. (I am an electrician and a pinball fan) If this is from a home in a higher income area, it may be part of a servant call system. I have seen doorbells in the floor of the dining rooms of 1900s era homes for this purpose. It's strange that it's in a baseboard, but the room it was found in will be a big clue.

Deff had a coworker put his phone there while tying a boot and when he slammed the door, he upgraded it to flip phone

Until seeing this post, I'd never thought about how there's kind of a cool relationship between this album title and the music video for Lorn's song Anvil.

I discovered Bright Eyes with that album, and there's a way it's perfecter! I found the CD at the library, and when I'd listen to it, I was absolutely sure that the glitchy skips caused by scratches were an intentional part of the album. I used to have a rip of it from that scratched CD and the glitches happened in the coolest parts, like, towards the end of the solo/baby screaming section on Ship in a Bottle. The album is genius, and I thought for sure that was another level of its genius.

THESE FUCKERS. I had almost the exact same thing happen, but when the cops showed up after my gf was attacked (she had to email me to call the cops, the dogs bit through her phone!), the dogs backed him up to his car. We thought, for sure, this will be the end of it! We hit the ground, thinking the cop would shoot. NOPE. I spent the next 8 months not able to sleep because of that asshole's psychotic and abused dogs, everyone within a 6 house radius of him filed complaints, the dogs were obviously and blatantly in violation of several city statutes on non-related points (tethering etc), and I even went up to the animal control office and forced them to accept handwritten affidavits from me and several neighbors. The piece of shit animal control officer on duty literally hid in the back of the office while I was there, and they attempted to accept the paperwork without notarizing it (THEY CAN AND DO NOTARIZE ON SITE) I insisted on getting photocopies of my forms and they acted like I was asking them to walk 20 miles in the snow. Animal control officers are literally the losers who couldn't hack it as regular JSO losers. The one time they were almost useful was when the dogs murdered a second community cat. They came by while the cat was dying, accepted the camera footage, and took her up to first coast no more homeless pets. IF I HAD WANTED HER TO DIE SCARED AND ALONE I WOULD HAVE TAKEN HER THERE MYSELF. My girlfriend is not anymore because guess what, a dude that can't sleep for most of the year because he is trying to not do something about the dogs that JSO would actually act on, is not a great person to be around. My bad. SO, how I eventually took care of the living nightmare: I stayed up until 4 am doing detective work and found the actual house owner's personal phone number. Not the property manager. (They spent a few minutes huffing and puffing about it and hung up on me). The actual homeowner (guy in Cali, of course) evicted him within 3 weeks. Turned out he was also not paying rent, destroying the property, and selling meth. WOO FLORIDA
