So um yeah, this has been an interesting weekend so far. "Yay, it's Friday!" My fiance got paid so I was going to divy up the paycheck to pay off some bills and CC balances and wouldn't you know it, her bank account was cleared out by fraudsters. 10 Days ago. We only ever use this account for paying bills and CC balances so we don't check it much more often than once or twice every two weeks, I think the last time it was actually used for a debit transaction at a retailer was over 3 months ago. Turns out there were a bunch of ATM withdraws that occurred in two cities in India, all while her CC that's tied to the same account was still making purchase all over our hometown Winnipeg. How the hell their fraud protection crap didn't catch this or give us a call is just mindboggling. Thankfully the car payment went off before the fraudsters got their hands on the balance (and $300 + of overdraft) and yesterdays paycheck leaves us with enough to cover everything we need to for now. They're doing the usual "investigation" and after some complaining the wait time went from 2+ weeks for it to be complete and the money refunded, to guaranteed 2-3 business days, so at least that's going for us. Not a nice surprise for Friday night.

rollin in on the gently caress rogue bandwagon. The IT ad, some other stuff, a couple reddit threads, yeah they are utter cunts and they wont be getting any of my business. I really liked their chipolte beer, but their business practices are enough to have me nope nope nope. yay gays yay some other stuff The roadkill and MCM combo should be fun, depending on the challenge. Roadkill has always struck me as guys who can hamfuck anything with a carb and th350 together but that's where it stops, where as the MCM guys can do ebay bolt ons but any hard fab stuff their friends guest for. The personalities are great but I'm curious to see how they'll do the technical side of things since there isn't much overlap.

I also worked there, in the brewery, for about six months. I was there when Brett fired a brewer in a company wide meeting with the words, "gently caress you [redacted], you're fired." I walked out of the meeting and called my old boss back, she offered me my job at $2 an hour more and I never worked another minute for those mother fuckers. During the same meeting, they fired everyone on the bottle line and made them beg for their jobs back. Oh, and that brewery is loving covered in black mold, especially around the glycol lines, because instead of spending money on a modern brewery, they make beer in a 100 year old warehouse 10 feet from the bay. To say the drainage in the building is bad is an understatement. I saw sewage backflow into the brewery more than once. Oh, and they brag at the end of the year about how many people they've fired. Seriously, they actually put it in the news letter. It's a shame, because as OP said, John is a pretty good brewer, and they do make a few good beers. Unfortunately, Brett and Jack don't even like beer and only care about marketing, so you see Dead Guy and not much else.

For me Fast and Loud is about two things: old Fords, and watching highly experienced Texans lose their poo poo over surface rust that wouldn't even fail inspection here. At one point I remember - and boy I hope this is scripted - they complain about rusted bolts on some old piece of poo poo they hauled out of a geezer's garage and the show cuts to a clip of one of their mechanics impacting the head of a bolt off. The camera zooms in and the bolt is one hundred percent dry. They didn't even try to spray it with something. They should do a guest episode where they visit Sockington because that would be some Deliverance level poo poo. Boy you done brought yourself one purty truck (duelling angle grinders beat out a jingly tune). Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Jun 27, 2015 |

Edd really is quite the creative genius, if any one has looked up his works. Fastest couch, and office furniture that is road legal. There's a top gear where he made a James Bond car out of an old Rover, its pretty neat.

We'll see how it goes. She's been wanting one for years and said this one would be an outdoor cat once it got big enough. I don't know how I feel about that. Been doing some reading. My allergies aren't too extreme and many people are saying that they went away after a while. Right now I'm popping Claritin and going to see how it goes. E: I couldn't say no and let this guy go to a kill shelter.
