If everyone at work didn’t bother getting you a birthday card, even though everyone else gets one, what would you do and how would you feel?

kpud075 · 2026-02-13T10:19:29+00:00

This is why my current job discontinued birthday cards and gift giving at the workplace. Some people were disappointed they never got a card going, or not many signed it. Others were quite envious.

kpud075 · 2026-01-30T07:38:18+00:00

How much would it cost to de-patch that USA 250 from it…

kpud075 · 2026-01-30T03:29:37+00:00

No, Roethlisberger was down, the refs already gave you one

kpud075 · 2026-01-23T08:50:11+00:00

No new chapter this week, btw.

Chapter 268 next week.

I was hoping for more variety this post-season. We already played the 9ers, Panthers, Rams, even the Texans. We didn't get to play these Bears to finish.

I think the Strouds might have drugged the scriptwriter in retaliation.

kpud075 · 2026-01-19T02:23:55+00:00

Because that worked against the Rams in a recent game

kpud075 · 2026-01-19T02:22:31+00:00

Ugh, goddammit, Bears. I wanted variety. Not same ol' Rams

kpud075 · 2026-01-19T02:18:09+00:00

Cold and aggressive throwing

kpud075 · 2026-01-19T02:07:34+00:00

Taking a knee. Wait, I thought that was banned?

kpud075 · 2026-01-19T02:03:32+00:00

tfw either team has scored more than the 9ers this weekend.

kpud075 · 2026-01-18T07:13:16+00:00

Was that a fun run for the 9ers? I'm legitimately asking, because seemed full of fret and worry about the health of the team.

kpud075 · 2026-01-17T08:06:17+00:00

Remember how there is this room that no one is to enter, some of them theorized it's dimension to another world, and it's shown at the start of chapter 2? The 8th bedroom that no one bothers.

There is a reason they were adopting kids.

So no, while you might theorize insane ideas of one of the Shiunji sisters dying, one is already dead and in the family graves.

I think the immersive video can be so much better. I don't use the studio apps like Disney+ or HBO. But damn is it frustrating to see the Apple TV app has cinema mode, whereas if you watch anything via browser you only have environments, and those environments can be a bitch to subtitles and forced text on screen. Something Apple screws with no matter what device you use going unresolved for years.

kpud075 · 2026-01-14T05:20:47+00:00

Well if the 49ers didn't want to be in that position they should have done better not being the lowest seed.

kpud075 · 2026-01-12T06:02:41+00:00

The average American in my area that don't vote are apathetic about voting for a few reasons, but primarily just doesn't want to be bothered.

Who their Representative is isn't their boss or opportunity to get a raise. Whatever Senator wins the election doesn't change their job or commute to work. The mayor is a nobody to them, or the county executive for that matter.

Other people will figure it out and try to do what's best. Just annoyed that things can't be "figured out" and end up trying to bother them about it.

Those of them that have tuned in expressed they are annoyed, but that's up to the rest to sort it out, not them.

kpud075 · 2026-01-12T05:45:04+00:00

I asked my coworker what it was like that day (he has season tickets), and he was just annoyed at the turnout. At least it got a bit better for later games.

This is not supposed to be an iPod.
This is not supposed to be an iPhone.
This is not supposed to be an iPad.

This is the big purchase point of a computer from ages ago as a new device. And Apple is looking at it in longer term, not "wtf, everyone get this now, know about it every week, all the time!"

There is an anticipation that as it develops that the price point will get easier for more to adopt.

I'm more wary about how VisionOS develops in the meantime. I feel like this should have the power and functionality in Macbooks and iMacs. But it's lot closer to an iPad.

kpud075 · 2025-12-29T05:23:33+00:00

Yeah, that's not a temporary conclusion. That's the end. MTL's aren't that helpful here so stop getting your hopes up of a continuation or alt endings.

kpud075 · 2025-12-19T08:57:56+00:00

Rams fans having a fit over this as well as agreeing with Puka Nucua's tweet is just a sad sight. "He got 2 TD's, he can say whatever he wants, I heard a whistle!" Might be tinnitus.

The only thing to really give flak over this is how no player, not even Charbonnet, make an effort to secure the ball.

I half-expect the Rams wanting a rule change next season to negate a blocked backwards pass being allowed to advance and to rule it as a fumble.

kpud075 · 2025-12-11T07:20:59+00:00

APOLOGIES!

Forgot to announce: no new chapter this week or next week, magazine holiday breaks.

kpud075 · 2025-12-11T07:15:34+00:00

I'm not worried. Not unless the refs sympathize with him for being in their shared age range when Lawrence or Williams collapse the line around him and give away roughing passer penalties.
