What a fantastic story! I could feel the warm sun, and taste the fresh vegetables. It really brought a smile to my face. I remember growing up in the late 80’s and my parents had an old man neighbor with a garden. He used to give tomatoes to me and my siblings and we would sit on the back steps with a salt shaker and just shake some salt on them and eat them like they were apples. They were delicious! For years I have wondered if my memory was serving me wrong, or if tomatoes have just gotten flavorless over the years. I’m happy to hear it’s not just me.

Hmm, yes, “eraser head”… That’s what I call it too.

I definitely don’t call it the mouse clit. Who would call it that?

Certainly not me.

It’s HR. That’s basically their job. They pretend they are there to protect the employees, but they are mostly there to protect the company.

Roasted broccoli squad checking in. This guy’s is missing out.

Actually most vegetables. Roast them in the oven with a tiny bit of oil, salt, and pepper. They always come out delicious.

First time was an honest mistake. Second time… That’s all on him.

Working in IT - Desktop support. One of my co workers picked up a ticket to go replace a keyboard in HR. HR was in a different building and it was mid winter and really cold out. He grabbed his coat and walked over there to replace the keyboard. Apparently he had a fat stanky bag of weed in his coat pocket. It was apparently very noticeable. A phone call was made before he even got back, and he was immediately let go.

This was before any kind of legalization existed in the area.

Damn meth heads ruining it for the rest of us.

Visions of Mana. I’m almost at the end and I have been putting off beating it because then I will be sad.

As a fellow tall, I don’t even buy things unless they are “T” sized anymore. Gave up on it a long time ago. My shirt size is “XLT”. There are sometimes things like work events or other places where they are giving away T shirts and they ask for my size and I tell them XLT and they are like “How about XXL?” and I’m like “No”. I don’t need to add another ill-fitting t shirt to the pile of shirts I will never wear.

Kohl’s has a big and tall section that is pretty reliable. The past few years I have been stocking up on Tommy Bahama clothing. I have a relative who works pretty high up the chain for their corporate office so I am able to get a discount which brings the price of their clothing down from “outrageously expensive” to “still pretty expensive”. It’s damn good quality clothing though. I have the Big & Tall Bali Skyline T-shirt in every color. It’s probably the most comfortable thing I have ever worn.

Cool. So now I can expect Nintendo to start a DMCA takedown campaign of all their music on YouTube, and completely destroy the playlists I made.

This toolbag again? He moved to a town not too far from me and people started putting up “Hate has no home here” signs on their lawn, and he threw a fit. What a crybaby. Like if you’re going to be a bigot, you should probably have thicker skin. Dude has the spine of a jellyfish.

Here’s an article on that whole thing:

Industry groups argued that those museums didn’t have “appropriate safeguards” to prevent users from distributing the games once they had them in hand.

And what exactly is stopping me from scanning library books and uploading them online? Are you going to ban libraries too?

Actually, let’s not give them ideas.

Mentioned this in another comment. Take that second dism line, and put it in a batch script and make it a scheduled task that runs at login. Or use a Powershell script to make it a little smarter - check if it’s enabled first and then disable it if it is.

Modern problems require modern solutions.

You need to make a Powershell script or batch that uninstalls/turns off the feature and then make a scheduled task that runs the ps1/bat at login.

Its insane that this is what you have to do to keep this shit off your system, but it’s effective.

I had to do this with New Outlook because it kept reinstalling after Windows updates.

If I was the judge, I would hit him with something a little more creative. Like making him voulenteer at a Harris/Walz campaign location for a day or something.

Nope, that’s an American Mimic. Looks like a cheeseburger but if you touch it, you are grappled and then it has advantage on attack rolls.

Whelp we got a whole box of them, so maybe in a day or two we will try again.

Really weird that this question would come up right now because up until yesterday, I would say no. I was at the store with my daughter and there was a person giving away free samples of these frozen dumplings (they were cooked, not cold). My daughter chowed one down and asked for another. Now my daughter is a super picky eater, so I was like “hell yeah, I’m gonna buy a box of these”.

Well we went home to have dumplings for dinner and she didn’t want to eat them.

So now I have dumplings.

I have a “No clocks in the bedroom” rule. As a person who has struggled with falling asleep, having a bright glowing display constantly reminding me how tired I’m going to be in the morning just gave me more anxiety and made it even more difficult to fall asleep.

I still have my watch and my phone, but those are things I need to purposely move to look at.

A projector clock sounds like hell to me.
