A few weeks back, my friend and part time employee lost her boyfriend. He dies of liver failure in his sleep and her entire reality has shattered. Today, a creepy, piece of poo poo regular customer who somehow found out all the details (probably through the store manager who is pissing me the gently caress off) informed me of his plan to make a move on her since "she's easy pickings now." I drat near jumped the counter to kill this gently caress. I told him to shut his loving mouth and if I heard that he went near her I'd kill him. I told him he's banned from the store as well. I'm still shaking in rage over this.

BoostCreep posted:Does anyone here live in Hong Kong? I'm here for the week and I want a tour guide. Or at least someone to tell me where to eat. I don't live there, but have visited five times in a little over a year. Total in-country time exceeds two months. There's a chain of steak houses called Wooloomooloo that are quite good. The food is good, but what sells them are the views. I've been to the one on the island and the one in iSquare, both are good. In LKF (I believe) there's a bar + restaurant called Lily & Bloom. I believe Bloom is the restaurant, good stuff. Oyster & Wine Bar in The Sheraton has my recommendations as well. The head waiter quit, which may have made the experience less intense, but Quemo! has excellent Spanish (as in euro-spanish) food. Try the black rice. All of these places are pricey, as in USD 100-200 per head, before wine. Edit: Whatever you do, don't order pizza. I don't know if it's the temps, humidity, lack of good flour or what, but they're always expensive and always crap. Edit the 2nd: If you're feeling frugal and adventurous, go find Foodtrip Bedana's. Hole in the wall, eight very tightly packed seats, best Philippino food this side of Leyte. Edit the 3rd: The girlfriend sayd: Tim Ho Wan, Michelin Star dim sum, The Market buffet (if you can get a seat), Crystal Jade, Macau Restaurant in TST, Qi of Szechuan (spicy!) bolind fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Jun 17, 2014 |

bolind posted:I don't live there, but have visited five times in a little over a year. Total in-country time exceeds two months. Night market street food is the correct answer. I found some great stuff in Yau MA tei . For everything else ask a local or the hotel concierge for a favorite dim sum place or whatever you are after. I lived in China for almost five years and visited Hong Kong a few times and was always disappointed in the more expensive places, especially the fancy ones. The best food was always at a place that was dingy and cheap packed with locals.

Just got 4 of these today: http://www.tinydeal.com/35mm-qihoo-360-klick-quick-button-dustproof-plug-jack-plug-p-128754.html A Chinese knockoff of Pressy, but a damned useful little thing. I'd have to think that a button like this will be integrated into future phones without having to dedicate your headphone jack to it. At least it keeps debris out of the headphone jack.

I had a Nokai 5800 Xpressmusic that had a dedicated, two-stage shutter button, like a real camera. In it's day it was pretty awesome, and survived BCT and AIT with me.

I bought an Evo 3D because of the shutter button. Sight-unseen, of course. Problem was, the butter's actuation was so loving stiff that taking a picture using it guaranteed you'd shake the loving phone. loving HTC.

We don't get anything approaching a proper ute up here anymore, but there are plenty of people who would like something that has an open bed with the driving dynamics of a car. Now, whether that thing is any good, is another story.

Little late, but we have a high score sheet with the work Prius. You get in, reset the average consumption and then hammer it everywhere. Highest average so far was a 150km trip that returned 27.5L/100!

Complete wild-rear end guess as to whether I'll be able to learn to do it or not, but I've wanted to learn for a long time. Did you get it? I'm quite intrigued. I stumbled upon this video which appears to take a bit of the guesswork out of it. I like the magnet trick.

Powershift posted:They're probably just going to say "that was old GM, we're new GM, an entirely different company, tough poo poo" Got the death by ignition recall done on my car. They said they'd mail proof it'd been done (never showed up). They entered the work done as "ELECTRICAL; Repair" (that's the entirety of what they typed) into their own system, which updated GM Owner Center with that. They also put the wrong mileage (off by 3k) in that entry. Can't get my service advisor to respond to email or phone calls asking about the receipt he said he'd mail (it was to be mailed as the cashier was "busy" when my car was ready, according to the SA - and since I'd been waiting over 2 hours when I was told it'd take 45 minutes, and was dodging their sales guys nonstop just trying to walk to get lunch while they had my car, I was more than ready to GTFO). I was kind of hoping to have proof of that for whenever I sell the car. Probably more of a lovely dealer, but it still reflects on GM more than a bit.

I'm literally just now realizing that the monthly threads are the new misc chat threads.. Regarding Rhyno's crappy neighbors a few pages back, I know that feel bro. My wife and I lived in a decent little apartment complex together for around two years before it turned into a drug den. Dudes selling pills and whatever else in the stairwells, a shootout in the parking lot, my old XJ being broken into and the stereo and my crappy subs being stolen, it was a hellhole. A few months ago we moved into a trailer my dad had bought several years ago to rent out. Yes, it's a trailer and it's in a park, but it's temporary, quiet, the neighbors are almost all old folks and I don't have nearly as much trouble falling asleep after I come in working nights.  This evil bastard clawed up my fat kitteh then decided he was the wounded party after I busted his kitty pants.  I have to see this awesome MJ every morning during my work run. Dammit.  The loudmouthed stupid maintenance guy at work managed to burn a two week old truck to the ground. Heh.  My Jeep has cancer.  These geese make me late every night for work.  Oil changin my cancerous Jeep. drat you Chrysler!
