Ahh man all I got was a disabled mom and prison dad.

Think I can trade him for a rich dad to a rich person who wants to claim they had a rough child hood?

I remember 14 years ago in high school I was kicking around the idea of becoming a court reporter (type out everything said in court) , but was told "nooo look at Siri, that'll totally replace all that soon!"

No, no it's not. We don't want things like that making choices like that.

Also was told "C and C++ is too old, learn something newer"

People get too excited about new tech, not thinking about why the old tech stands the test of time.

Perfection can never be the enemy of progress! Cleaning out nazis will always be progress, if not "always" perfection.

Nazi hunting?...

Run the code.

RUN IT.

Can they please look up a guide on how to make a stable government already?

Ooh and how many women apparently wear the HIGHEST quality water proof make up at all times!

Realistic hacking scenes would be funny.

"Okay I'm in"

"Wait... how?"

"Oh I figured out the default passwords and naming conventions for new employees awhile ago."

Funnily enough I got my college to change password policies because for a report for one of my classes I wrote about how stupid it was that all new users passwords were First intial + last initial + last four of social security number, with usernames being firstname + lastname + year. Since they had no max number of attempts on logins, and didn't prompt you to change password on logging in, it took a few minutes to get into anyone's account once you knew their name. (That school was very incompetent, and they are closed now)

OR

"Give me 20 minutes, I'm on hold with IT. They'll reset the password and tell me it if I give them an employee ID, dob, and name. Which I see clearly on this guys facebook picture where he has his badge visibile."

Or a hacking guy trying to brute force for days. Then the "no nonsense" guy goes out for 20 minutes, and comes back with it and refused to answer questions. Oh wait... that's just XKCD.

Hehe that scene was the one that made me think of this post.

NCIS should just dive into self parody at this point.

Seeing a movie where they flip in a practice dummy and actually make me feel like they broke ribs to make it happen would be legit.

If the ribs aren't bending, ain't no way the heart is pumping!

Also having the CRP patient be absolutely trashed afterwards. If you're getting CPR, it's cause you dead, and they are trying to bring you back to life by beating life back into you. You were dead, then got probably the most painful beating of your life. The rest of the movie should be you recovering in a hospital.

I'm not even a chef but they'll also turn in a full kitchen without regard sometimes.

If you're turning, you keep that garbage pointed NOT where you are turning.

Ahh so when they have like inconsistent durability?

One scene the super hero slams through walls.

Next scene, they trip and get injured.

I wonder if movies is why people seem to scoff at my mom's allergies. She is "deathly" allergic to Cilantro and Coriander, so more than once people told her stuff like "Don't worry just eat around it" or "we'll put it on the side"

MAM. Her throat is closing, we are sticking an epi pen, and heading to the hospital if any gets in her mouth. If you can't accommodate her, let her know and we will leave. But it's severe enough that if a lot of fresh cilantro is being used, she has to leave or she'll start having symptoms. Basically if you can clearly smell cilantro, then enough is in the air that she's going to start coughing and wheezing and normally takes 2-3 days of her feeling garbage. Same exact case for my sister who is deathly allergic to red onions.

I never understood why some people think so little of "My throat will close if I eat this thing", but maybe it's TV where they treat it like lactose intolerance, where it's fine if you just take the meds with it?

IDK man, but it's tilting.

Stolen from Reddit

But I loved it. Also this has Shrimp removed, because it was on the OG chart due to an error and this is an updated version.

After months of reminders in team meetings on how to do this properly, supervisors have sicced me on the department.

I have been informed that if the issues continue, supervisors will start pulling people in for chats on why they can't follow directions that were laid out.

Pray I am the only monster you meet, for I am the kindest.

 
 

Ordered some off amazon and wanted to share cause I was impressed

https://www.amazon.com/Tasty-Bite-Indian-Lentils-Microwaveable/dp/B0007R9L4M?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

I do one cup of dried rice worth of rice mixed in with one package, which is either two meals or dinner for two. Wanted to share cause I was impressed for the quality/price. They have a bunch of other flavors slightly more expensive as well.

 

Eating the proper amount is hard. Eating when you have low time, money, mental energy, or education on cooking is even harder.

This book assumes nothing. Do you know how to turn on your stove? You are properly prepared to use this cookbook.

Just want to share it with more folks!

 

Game goes into full release in less then a day, so why not learn build orders to be the ultimate try hard??

 

My two are:

Making sourdough. I personally always heard like this weird almost mysticism around making it. But I bought a $7 starter from a bakery store, and using just stuff in my kitchen and cheap bread flour I've been eating fresh sourdough every day and been super happy with it. Some loafs aren't super consistent because I don't have like temperature controlled box or anything. But they've all been tasty.

Drawing. I'm by no means an artist, but I always felt like people who were good at drawing were like on a different level. But I buckled down and every day for a month I tried drawing my favorite anime character following an online guide. So just 30 minutes every day. The first one was so bad I almost gave up, but I was in love with the last one and made me realize that like... yeah it really is just practice. Years and years of it to be good at drawing things consistently, quickly, and a variety of things. But I had fun and got something I enjoyed much faster than I expected. So if you want to learn to draw, I would recommend just trying to draw something you really like following a guide and just try it once a day until you are happy with the result.

I bought a sour dough starter from a special store, and have been on a bread making kick making a loaf every day for the last week.

I've mostly been eating it with margarine or dipping in tomato sauce after toasting.... or just tearing off a piece and eating it like a starving peasant child.

Any other suggestions for ways to eat my sour dough?

(Oh and I am allergic to Soy and corn. Yeah I'm not welcome in most vegan restaurants cause of the soy thing.)

 

Since gasoline because unusable after awhile, most cars will become obstacles and block up roads.

So we of course want something that can zip around the roads!

The main advantages I see are:

  1. Peddle when out of juice

  2. Peddling charges the batteries, so in an emergency you can turn on the battery

  3. The batteries can reasonably be charged by solar panels that a lot of houses have.

  4. Gets around all the blocked roads.

  5. Generally easier to repair.

  6. The distance travelled on a full battery is absurd

I don't expect any movies to put their heroes on an eBike, but they should!

IDK just thought you'd appreciate my dumb thought XD Any other reasons why during an apocalypse you should find an ebike?
