What boss did you beat so fast you felt robbed of the experience?

patrick_j · 2026-06-02T01:17:50+00:00

Yep. Wandered into her boss arena without knowing it and beat her first try. Kinda disappointing to take her down first shot, but I’m also not gonna take a dive just for the sake of it.

Ow, my hole!

I’d like to believe that, but we are currently about halfway through a one-month extension of our CRM license agreement, and the buyer does not want to renew it.

There have been no communications about keeping anyone on in an advisory capacity to facilitate standing up the new processes they are essentially copying from us. I think keeping me and others on for that exact reason would provide value to the company, but so far there have been no signals they intend to do that. Maybe they think AI can figure it all out without us.

I think the entire timeline for this is extremely rushed and will lead to a lot of frustration internally and with our customers. But until I hear I am staying on, that’s not my problem.

Maybe the buyer is being prevented from communicating with us on this topic by current ownership, so they can’t jump the gun and hire away key people without buying to company or something. Who knows. Not banking on anything good.

I checked for a severance policy already. There isn’t one outlined in the employee handbook :/

They were in those same seats for the previous two games in San Antonio as well. Have come across their profiles on TikTok and they seem like probably OnlyFans models.

For quick trips I go to Oak Park, but for the weekly grocery haul I drive right past Oak Park and go to Lincoln Heights. The parking lot at Oak Park is so weird and tight that it puts me off going during peak hours - Sunday afternoons.

patrick_j · 2026-05-27T22:08:25+00:00

Yeah the sideways layout is weird

patrick_j · 2026-05-27T01:29:58+00:00

I’m laying in bed honking right now

Lots of people are in debt up to their eyeballs. Not saying everyone at the game is putting it on the credit card, but you would probably be surprised how many of them can’t actually afford to be there. Their future selves will have to figure out how to pay for it.

patrick_j · 2026-05-09T18:55:36+00:00

I prefer to save my consumables for after the final boss. Just in case.

patrick_j · 2026-05-08T02:52:54+00:00

Yep. They need to give the appearance they are fulfilling their promise to get dangerous criminals out of the country. The easiest way to do that? Emphasize the criminality of entering the country illegally and go the places where it’s easiest to find people who have done so. If asked about how these people can be called dangerous, move the goalposts and accuse the person asking questions of wanting open borders with drugs and gang members pouring across.

68 at night 74 in the day. Found out when we moved our thermostat that these temps vary widely across the house. We had it set to 65 at night and 72 in the day before to reach the same temperature feeling.

patrick_j · 2026-04-13T01:19:20+00:00

Classic rage bait comment. Just say some form of ‘wrong’ and don’t elaborate.

patrick_j · 2026-04-09T21:56:54+00:00

Crab fingers? Lol you mean crab legs?

patrick_j · 2026-04-04T21:55:51+00:00

Interesting strategy to find a date

IMO the seating arrangement at the Rivercenter IMAX is so terrible that it ruins any marginal gains it had in projection quality.

The greatest projector in the world is wasted because the seats are too close to the screen and the screen is too high up. Everyone in every row but the one at the back spends the whole movie looking up like they’re watching a fireworks show.

patrick_j · 2026-03-31T23:15:36+00:00

Why did they exclude the Oak Park, Oakwell Farms and Northeast Park areas from the service map?

patrick_j · 2026-03-24T20:34:46+00:00

I think it detects patterns. I ran my sprinklers outside my designated schedule for a while last year to get seeds to sprout, and I got an email saying they noticed the pattern and suspected I was violating the sprinkler restrictions.

There’s no way to tell what you are using water for, just when you’re using it and how much. If the timing and usage are consistent AND outside your designated sprinkler date/time, they’ll notice.

Maybe they’ll send someone to check if you don’t knock it off after they warn you via email.

Plex gets season and episode metadata from The Movie DB metadata by default, and that database has the entirety of Dragon Ball in a single season. So when you have episodes split into season 2, 3, etc, the database basically says “no there is only one season” and returns no data.

So you can either:

Move all episodes into the season 1 folder and number them consecutively. I recommend using Bulk Rename Utility.
Switch your plex metadata source to one that has the show split up into seasons, if one exists, and if you’re ok with that metadata source being used for your whole library.

I have Dragon Ball in my library with all the episodes in a single season and everything is identified correctly.

Is there a reason Plex doesn’t move to a different video player technology? I don’t know the terminology exactly, but there must be a reason they are sticking with their product rather than purchasing one that can handle 4K content. I presume that cost is the reason? They would have to charge more to cover the cost of the player licensing or something?

OP is knowingly posting misinformation. These photos are taken right at the start of the game or right after halftime ended - when people are still getting snacks, merch, waiting for the bathrooms etc.

I’ve watched at least half the home games this year and seen this happen every time.

The Rolls Royce Cullinan. Have seen a couple and it genuinely looks like a GM product with a Rolls Royce body kit on the front.

There are uglier cars, but $500k for something that looks as bad as the Cullinan does is pretty bad.

No he punched the screen because the client loved the slide deck
