We ask him to give us his presentation for practice. It's 58 seconds long. We ask for the assignment page and it also requires a visual aid (that he doesn't have) and a specific outline on how to present it. You left it a little late to check there buddy. How old is he?

When I was young, I forgot that I was supposed to write a short paper (like, a page or something, this was grade school) until the night before. It was too late to do it, so my dad said that he would wake me up early and help me with it. When I woke up, he had handwritten the assignment. I copied it down and turned it in, got an A. I remember it well, a page in my dad's block print on Tutankhamun. And then when I looked it up, he had literally copied the entry from our home encyclopedia. I found out much later that my dad (who is an electrical engineer) hadn't written an essay since high school. He was thinking of just working in the mines, and my grandmother filled out his college application including the personal statement, and wrote every essay he was assigned in college. What's particularly funny about this is that he's not a bad writer ... apparently just a very lazy one.

Nothing matters other than the Avengers trailer was released and it took approximately one hour to reach 1M "likes" on YouTube. It is going to rule and I don't care to listen to anyone else that says differently.

I hate the American work culture of showing up to work even if you're super sick, to show you're such a dedicated and tough worker. We need to shun and mock those who show up and become the office typhoid mary. There's no way it helps productivity / profitability to get everyone else sick. Of course I work with people who brag about flying across the country to take a deposition a week after giving birth, so you see what I'm dealing with here.

I can't even process this. Aside from 5 minutes occasionally checking email for the following 2-3 weeks, work was a no go after the birth of any of my kids. Granted, I'm fortunate compared to many not in my position. That doesn't sound like someone that "needed" to do it though. That's just... broken, to me.

Blame the "employees are expected to operate like machines and never get sick, those who violate this policy will be penalized and/or terminated" attitude of employers who tend to offer little or no sick time/PTO and deliberately keep wages flat so their employees live paycheck to paycheck, making them less likely to take time off for personal illness.

slidebite posted:The only thing I hate even more are policies where employers demand doctors notes and have minimal paid sick days which force people to come to work sick. Yeah, we get four paid sick days a calendar year, and a doctor's note is required. When I got the flu a couple of years ago, I ended up paying more out of pocket for the doctor's visit (and Tamaflu prescription) to get the stupid note so I could get paid, than if I would have just taken the two days unpaid. Ridiculous.

The past two printers I've had have been brother laser B&W printers. They're great but good luck configuring the wireless networking features on that loving 70s calculator screen. I just plug them in with ethernet and they're great. I get Chinese ink for like $15 a cart and it lasts a year more or less. Printers are poo poo technology just like bad tools. In other news my Honda is not burning a quart of oil for every other tank of gas so that's cool. (I'm always looking at new cars b/c I know this could last 100 miles or 100,000,000 miles) The F series Honda motors are the functional drunks of the automotive world (those and the late 90s corollas).

I can't afford to miss work, so fukc 'em - I'm going to get everyone *else* sick. slidebite posted:The only thing I hate even more are policies where employers demand doctors notes and have minimal paid sick days which force people to come to work sick. Hi there! Only replace "minimal" with "no". Gingerbread House Music posted:You literally only have to deal with the clunky interface once... I don't deal with it at all. Literally every network-capable printer I've worked with since 2000 (admittedly, this would be mostly HP printers) have a built in webserver. They're set to DHCP out of the box. Let it acquire an IP, then print out the configuration page to get that IP. Go to that IP from a browser on a PC on the same network and set up everything else there, including a static IP. Printers still suck, which is amazing in TYOOL 2018. edit: goddammit. I forgot to get my leftovers from our team lunch today before they cleaned out the fridge. This included a full piece of eggnog cheesecake, as well as the remainder of the salmon and rice I had. Nuts. I mean, I didn't pay for it, but I hate wasting good food, and it was good.

Happy 32 to me. I bought myself a Caboodle because holy poo poo they brought these back However, the tray it has for <things> (seriously this is all new to me, I have zero idea what's supposed to go in there) is too shallow for the <things> I want to put in there. They hit the mirror.  However, I do have a 3D printer, and Solidworks.

My flash didn't fire so I can't really show much of the car in the water, but it was up to the top of the sill on my Protege5 where it stopped. and up to my knees at the deepest. Given the ECU is on the passenger floor, I think it might be a total loss

Somebody helped themselves to several boxes of the flooring me that had been set aside for us. Looking to be about 200 sq ft short now of doing the entire second floor in a unified color and pattern. Irritating but it was free so I guess I can sort something out.

64bit_Dophins posted:In other news my Honda is not burning a quart of oil for every other tank of gas so that's cool. My Integra (B18A) burned >1 qt per tank. It didn't leak a drop from the engine itself. The exhaust was dripping some, though. It was amusing when I finally gave up on getting it running right, gave it to a friend, and he tore into it. He said that when he unbolted the exhaust, a pool of oil ran out of the cat. That loving car made James Bond cream himself with the smoke screen it could put out - anytime somebody got on my rear end, all I had to do was drop down a gear (automatic, but still) and goose it a bit. It also got me banned from parking in the parking lot of an employer, as I usually left right at open (and would smoke out the entire parking lot when I started it). PO had put an adjustable FPR on it... and never changed the fuel filter. He had helpfully installed a gauge, which showed it dropping to <15 PSI when doing WOT snaps with it parked once it started smoking. Explains all the pinging (which probably had a little to do with why it burned so much oil). DJ Commie posted:My last running car fell victim to an 18" deep puddle in a city parking lot. My Civic suffered a similar fate (complete with picking up pieces of block, crank, rod, and piston from the road).

That catch and handle will stand up to very little abuse. Whereas this:  Would make a much better cosmetics organiser. Dimensionally, there are many similarities between cosmetics and tools, so they will fit in well: Lipstick: sockets Eyeliner pens: extension bars Emery boards: feeler gauges Foundation: Moly grease Eyelash curlers: circlip pliers Body butter: Swarfega Aqua spray: WD40
