I work at a big box hardware store and our Halloween stuff has been on clearance for like a week maybe two at this point. Christmas has been up since the beginning of this month or the end of last month but the big box across the way apparently had their Christmas set up in August.

They should have gone Vampire for the middle name and Abraham for the first name, would have been a really nice tribute to the 16th President of the United States

It’s also the same gesture he uses when talking about Arnold Palmer, it can get confusing.

One of the guys I work with now won’t stop sweeping at work it’s annoying as all hell. Now every time I see a broom outside of work I have a negative response to it, I might have PTSD. Anyways thanks for your service.

Just checked my emails and I’m coming up on 20 years ordained on November. I was the 3rd backup minister for my sister’s wedding in 2015, closest I’ve come to using the status.

I work in retail so the only thing that changed for me during the pandemic was my level of anxiety.

My first thought when seeing this was future home of an ox bow lake

I’d just like to point out the rumor from the Steele dossier wasn’t that Trump got peed on by prostitutes it’s that he paid them to pee on a bed that the Obamas had once slept in which is somehow weirder to me.

I’m confused is there a limit to which app stores I can install on my android phone right now because last time I checked there wasn’t.

Modern ones are, all the supercar manufactures have taken a device that you could never guarantee wouldn’t just catch on fire, or breakdown, or for that matter even start up and turned them into appliances.

I’m not disagreeing with you but Destin from smarter everyday had a video where he did a ride along in an Air Force fighter jet and by far the least interesting part of the video was when they broke the sound barrier and were flying super sonic. They were up at like cruising altitude though so that’s the main reason it was mostly uninteresting.

I’ve been half assed looking for a new tv for like 5 years now, I haven’t seen a larger TV for sale that want smart in that time.

I don’t even think it’s limited to the cheaper brands. I thought I heard about Samsung (or some other similarly large vendor) TVs connecting to networks their servers knew about for updates and stuff all of course without your interaction/consent. I might have just read that as a possible future thing though it was a while back that I saw it.

Lgr did a video 6 years ago where he threw Ms dos 6.22 onto a modern gaming PC just for the hell of it. It has some issues with booting but he it ran. PC specs were a ryzen 5 1600x with a 980ti. And at some point in the video you can see on the monitor he’s using that it was using HDMI.

Just last week I was walking through a Finish forest late at night. I had heard some howling earlier in the night but hadn’t really thought about it in a while. So I’m walking along and I hear a twig snap and I freeze then BAM blinding light from like 10 feet away. This god damn wolf was standing 10 feet away from me holding a flashlight in its front paw. He apologized, said he though I might have been a deer, then told me to be careful and let me go on my way.

Anyways we traded numbers real nice wolf that one, I think we’re going to go sauna together next week.

This is the answer, if you’re not in academia you likely need to be in logistics, maintenance, or be a doctor/nurse.

Just to commiserate my neighbor once asked me if I was going to die alone. In her defense she was high and hasn’t asked since. That’s how it’s going for me.

I thought that was washing someone elses hair?

I work in retail, but my homelab isn’t super extensive just a nas, a Plex server, and a couple proxmox boxes.

Closet I’ve ever come to being in IT was back when I was still in college and took some a networking class and some web development classes but that was many moons ago.
