I’m never on time for work. 😇

~I work from home.~

Wow. It took me to just now to realize it is “The Devil’s Panties” and not “Devil’s Panties”. 🤦‍♂️

1. Arrogance: we especially don’t want to do it because the rest of the world does.
2. Cost: not the equipment, though that can get pretty pricey considering we up the margins on everything, but mostly labor; labor is ungodly expensive (they cry insurance or (my fave) “you’re paying for the years of experience”).

Baby steps. Gotta start somewhere.

Either way, learn how the block button works, then use it.

You do realize that spam texts use spoofed numbers, and blocking does no good because the next spam text will be from a different number?

Only give enough information to sufficiently answer the question asked. In this case, “No, I didn’t receive my food,” is all that was needed. Anything more gives them an opportunity to screw you.

Okay, accidental may be a bit of a stretch. But it wasn’t intended to be used the way we use it today (and the fact that it took them 40 attempts to get it right). 😅

I’ve noticed that the more obvious something is, the more I don’t understand it. 🤷‍♂️

~I have a bad habit of second-guessing myself and overthinking things.~

You don’t cook much do you? You want to tenderize your meat with something acidic. Ocean water is already salty, so that takes care of some of the seasoning.

I never knew about the military plane’s application myself. I just knew it was while he was working for Eastman Kodak and it was an accidental discovery.

I also understand they had to “water it down” because it was too strong.

Edit: it occurred to me I could be confusing WD-40 with superglue re the accidental discovery comment.

Not quite. It was first used as a surgical closure by the inventor after his son cut his finger open on a model. The glue was originally created for making cockpit covers more secure on military planes.

I’ve never heard that connection before, but it does make sense since McDonald is a farmer, and every farmer I’ve ever met has a dog.

Old McDonald had a farm, e-i e-i o. And on that farm was a cow, e-i e-i o. With a moo-moo here, and a moo-moo there…

That’s the Old McDonald that I grew up with.

Use stereo for the movie. Some apps, like Netflix (iirc) has a setting for that.

Nah. I like snakes.

There are certain segments of the population that deserve very poisonous spiders dropped on their heads.

Check that the audio format of whatever you’re watching matches the output of your listening device. If you watch a movie using 5.1, but your TV is stereo, then yes all of the loud shit is going to be very loud and crowd out the dialog. This might not be the silver bullet for everyone, but it costs you nothing to check your settings.

I would be shocked (shocked, I say) if Hollywood wasn’t mostly a front for money laundering rings.

Wait… this isn’t satire?

~I really can’t tell these days.~
