Made of Meat

I visited germany so long ago that digital camera resolution was crap, but I got this: - not framed, big ole basket of bread off to the left, and my wife who eschewed it all to order a chocolate croissant.

That is neat, though I stopped collecting the boxes more or less after Apple games, they didn't add much and they stopped including neat things like cloth maps and required-to-read manuals.

Hey, I do notice Outpost there. What'd you think of that? I felt it was pretty awful. I remember it having like zero depth and progress was next to impossible. Looked nice, but played for crap.

I want him first up against the wall with a lot of his followers after him, and that includes the voters.

I'm not sure I get the comparison.

There's nothing about being a prostitute that disqualifies you for having a title who's only qualification is "married to a guy who's president".

There's nothing wrong with having a prostitute be president, for that matter.

What would be nice is if all the people involved were good people, or smart people, or hopefully both.

I'm nearly 50 years old, and I think I've had to do a similar sort of maneuver about 10 times in my life now. A lot of it is because I've been living in Texas for the last 25 years or so, and Texans are absolute shit when it comes to driving.

I never got carded. I wasn't getting carded as a 17 year old, and that was a mistake because it was the other person's stuff on the belt, they just thought it was mine.

Listen, what the US govt is doing is wrong, clearly and obviously. Just don't pretend that Iran is some sort of paragon of virtue, standing up for what is right (as per this song) just because they're the victim in this most recent situation.

Folks hate being fact checked by reality.

Neat. An ex-employer of mine had a warehouse in ontario, I spent weeks at it getting their robotic sorter systems to work properly. Then they shut the whole division. Looked exactly like this place, but all the warehouses do, it's impossible to tell the difference between them.

Really what we need is a bunch of people to cease to exist, but I'll entertain any options that seem to be progress in that direction.

... and yes, that's pretty much every job. Don't expect that someone else will do (this part) of your job. Remember, you are selling yourself, and not just in the interview. You've got to keep doing it.

It's not being likeable. It's being well-marketed. If you or your manager can successfully advertise you to upper management, it pays off. If you and/or your manager are not doing this, you are not doing a good job:

According to the company, your #1 priority is to make money for the company, more than you cost. For you, it's to make as much money for the least effort. Enjoying work, doing a quality job, all that, that's secondary.

Promote yourself, even if you hate it.

They were a great advertising and sales company. Technology ... not so much, and frankly they're pretty evil even now, but perhaps slightly less than when Jobs was around.

Rocket Engineering is hard as hell.

That's an engineering issue. Practical application is completely unrelated to the theoretical sciences.

Yes, they do.

It is a real pain in the ass to shoot a bow accurately while moving. Never did it from horseback, but there's a college near me that actually offers horseback archery as a class.

Thank goodness the sound was included on the video.

Of course they did, because they had opinions or an analysis of the situation that was contrary to what Trump wanted them to be. Even if they were just reporting facts.

It's odd that Trump somehow made Iran the good guys.

Looks WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than that rancid canned meat sauce they put on "chili dogs" that reminds one of horrific bathroom visits.

What the fuck? C'mon. This is just ...

Taken on it's face, the BEST possible outcome is that he overdosed on prescription drugs and blacked out the parts where he traveled there or was brought there.

But ... c'mon.

The number of times I had to use that phrase, "I can explain it to but I can't understand it for " in my last company was just sky high.

I remember waiting for my dad to get back from business trips in the 80's, sitting at the gate at O'Hare in those uncomfortable hard plastic bowl-like seats. My sister and I would fight over who got to sit in the ones with the TVs, even though we knew that - at like, 50 cents for five minutes, it was a total rip off and there's no way our mom would ever let us use them since we couldn't even see a whole show.

It was so very orange and brown.

One of the first bunches of cheese shown here was Tillamook cheese - made in Oregon.
