Quiet Feet posted:Finally started watching the new Willow series and I'll probably finish it but it has a high-budget CW vibe to it and leans way too hard on snappy banter. Yeah, I was honestly disappointed in the show. The dialogue was too modern for something that I always took as an old-timey fantasy world. Since there wasn't a real NFL game on today I cooked dinner.  Been a while since I butter basted a steak.  Finished New York strip and some roasted asparagus that I tossed in bacon fat.

Leperflesh posted:My favorite air traffic control audio & graphics channel has the fedex near miss up This is 1000% on the controller. The Southwest didn't confirm rolling until the controller asked. "Rolling now" should have set off alarm bells for the controller. I'm not even sure if what he did was legal, but he should have had the Fedex go around immediately at that point. The airplanes shouldn't be running the loving show and it's completely negligent that it took a pilot that was paying some attention to not have a 737 full of people flattened on the runway. The pilot saved the day while the controller didn't do poo poo. The person who did this should never talk to an airplane again, but the rumor mill says they're a problem child so I'm sure they'll be off to their next facility in no time.

seiferguy posted:I'm working on my wedding registry, and uh... we already have almost everything in our house. - Instant Pot - Sous vide (Anova makes good ones) - Storage. Storage. Storage. My suggestion is ditch the plastic and go glass; Ikea has a bunch of glass food storage containers of different sizes and I swear by them. They've lasted way longer than the Tupperware plastic stuff, and bonus is you can just shove them right in the oven to reheat your leftovers. - More towels. You never have enough towels. If you have enough towels, get more and put them up so you can use them when the ones you have now wear out. - (this sounds weird but let me explain) Toilet paper. You know what everyone uses, is kinda expensive, and doesn't go bad? Toilet paper. I know someone that put it as a gag on their wedding registry with no upper limit, and guess what most people got him. Either humorously, or because they couldn't think of anything else, or because (unexpected positive side effect) it was a budget option. Friends of his that didn't make much money could actually get him a gift. So he ended up with an insane amount of TP as a wedding gift (they have a pic of them standing next to the tower). I think it ended up being like a three year supply. But guess what- for the first three years of their marriage, which bit of household overhead did they not have to worry about paying for? - Grocery gift cards. Similar idea to above, although kinda less funny. - Any appliances you've had your eyes on, like a washer/dryer, vacuum, etc. - One insanely expensive, incredibly specific usage, name brand thing that nobody will buy you. Everybody likes something to talk about. - Fixtures. If you've wanted to start upgrading changing things like doorknobs, light fixtures, etc, this is a great time to get em.

FizFashizzle posted:27 hours of travel, we finally got to Phuket around 8 am, hosed around until we got to our hotel at 2, check in and did the beach, ate, drinks, then around 4 pm local time we put our heads down for a quick nap before going out for the evening Phuket is fun, it’s where my wife and I did our honeymoon. We had a bit shorter trip down there though, in fairness. I miss travel  need to get the little one a bit stable and into daycare before even thinking about a work trip or a personal trip.

This kind of poo poo amazes me that we are running on the most razor thin margins for redundancy in decision-making yet airlines want to slash this even further. Like obviously air travel is ridiculously safe and a credit to checklists and systems and redundancy, but capitalism dictates that we regard any wild success and say "yes, but how can I cut costs?" If this were to go through, I would never get on another plane.

Saw the towels rec above. I need to replace all our towels as they’re a hodge podge if combining two houses and most of them should be shop towels at best. Is there a recommendation for good but not insanely expensive towels? Or should I just go to Costco?

Sam’s club has a pack of 8 for around 30 bucks, we bought some for the kids. They’re in the restaurant aisle though. But otherwise Sam’s/Costco towels are a good bang for the buck.

The only smart appliance I actually think is an improvement (not counting TV's and such) is the refrigerator. The screen display can be really helpful for things like recipes, and listing whats in it. The ones with the interior camera seem really helpful to me because I think I own like 4 bottles of Worcestershire sauce because every time I am getting stuff for a meal I think to myself "do I have this?" and then just buy a bottle because I don't want to run back out to the store. Smart thermostats seem like a good idea too, but those are pretty small/cheap and hopefully the stupid design flaws have been removed. Plus, they existed even before Wifi was a thing in homes and can function just fine without an internet connection. I see no reason to have a smart washer/dryer, especially since I am old school and will not leave the house with the dryer running. Same with the oven/stove.

It's gonna be obsolete and unrepairable in six years, though. Also your fridge is part of a botnet now, and it's being used to DDOS a news outlet for publishing a slightly negative article about a crypto site.

I'm trying really hard to restrain myself from writing a scathing email. For reference, our schedule assignments reset every few months, and are assigned based on seniority. Because we have several schedules running simultaneously, there is a duty calendar released for each year, months in advance, with all the days clearly marked. So prior to our most recent bid, we were given several revisions (which is typically not necessary because the shift designations do not change, they run every day, forever--so this should've been a red flag) including a final one before we made our selections. This is important because we use this to plan vacations while minimizing leave usage, or trying to be off on holidays, birthdays, etc. The bid process proceeded as normal--I got my top desired shift and put everything into our home calendar. Then today, we are sent ANOTHER UPDATED SHIFT CALENDAR which is drastically different than the one we had. Our schedules are now set, and cannot be changed. So I've got a lengthy draft sitting in my folder basically calling them out for inconveniencing the poo poo out of us and pointing out that giving us an accurate calendar is like bare-minimum stuff and we shouldn't have to do our own research and populate our own calendars because why the hell do we even have administration. I also pointed out that I am now going to be disrupting the schedule even more with more leave thanks to their mistake. I'm probably gone from this place (at least as a full-time medic) as soon as I hit the meat of higher mathematics this fall, but I'm trying to sit on it for a few hours. Like, what clownshoes nonsense, right? Like, get your loving act together, no wonder we are a mess. I'm probably way too pissed about this, but what the gently caress? /rant
