:siren: I have now played more than 0 seconds of Diablo 4 :buddy:

This is awesome! The graphics seem a bit shittier than I was expecting given I have a pretty darn good gaming laptop. Everything is on ultra or the highest setting but the hair looks weird.

The game should uninstall itself if the player tries to create a necromancer with normal hair.

Almost got final destination’d today.

Not nearly as final destinationey in nature as this insane poo poo, but I locked up my tires three separate times on the freeway today.

On the way to work and on the way home an 18-wheeler and dump truck respectively were following too close to the cars in front and both had to slam on their brakes and then veer into my lane. Then on the way back from lunch some dude was probably drunk or something at 12:00PM in his bashed up truck, merged onto the freeway all herky jerky, veered into my lane and slammed on the brakes, I locked up my tires and slammed on the horn, and he veered back away and got off all herky jerky at the very next exit :wtc:

The joys of trucking. I get to my delivery, drop the loaded trailer easily, and hook up to the empty to move it off the unloading bay. I move the empty, but I can’t get the kingpin to release. I try all the tricks I know, but nothing works. So I call breakdown to get a mechanic to come look at it. An hour later I get a call back from breakdown and NOW they are calling a mechanic because the first person I talked to got it all wrong.

I said to myself when I got here “Tonight is going well” and now it’s poo poo. Gonna wait 60 to 90 minutes for the mechanic to show up.

Reminds me of my Longshoring days with busted rear end mules that had no A/C or the side window wouldnt close so I’d be getting blasted with diesel exhaust for 6 hours. Those things had millions of miles on them. Plus the beat to ever loving poo poo bomb carts that would have brake lines that wouldn’t seal or stuck brakes. Like my 3rd day on the job no idea what I’m doing it’s 3am end of shift and I cannot get my can off the 5th wheel. I lucked out and this 25 year veteran gantry operator is coming off his crane sees me and saved my rear end. He hops in and absolutely floors the mule in reverse and slams the brakes, can drops and we both speed away to the parking lot, whole time I’m holding on for dear life in the cabs doorway. No fucks givin he turns to me and just goes “morning shifts problem”


These fuckers. They have basically no suspension and even worse brakes. Every bump and slam goes straight to your spine, the reason I only lasted a couple years, 8 hour shift I’d be flat on my back for a day or 2



$300 a shift became not worth it

Most of us don't want to strike either but we aren't delusional enough to think we will get a decent contract without one.

I'm absolutely in favor of a strike if they won't give you a decent contract, I just really, really don't want it to come to that.

Update! 2 and a half hours after I first called, I was back on the road. Got back to the DC, same problem, and the ratchet strap the mechanic gave me isn’t enough to fix it. Now to wait on mechanic number 2 so I can go home.

Again, this was supposed to be an easy day, and I will be lobbying for retention pay.


edit: before the mechanic another driver came up, whacked what is evidently the adjustment bolt with a wrench, and fixed it. Now I know and am at home.

Partially because it’s what’s in my brain all the time but it’s strange that so much of the trucking in Japan is rigid trucks and not tractor-trailers - there’s a few reasons for it, but the result is fewer big tractors and more ~55,000 lb GVW van trucks. Thought of that when you complained about trailer problems :v:

Wow, CMX movie theaters gave me a free ticket for my birthday. Not a buy 1 get 1, not some "to be used today and excluding all but two lovely movies", just a straight-up movie ticket for anything they show that expires in 60 days. Can't think of the last time a company simply gave a free thing and not just a thinly disguised coupon.

On Sunday I grabbed some stuff from the farmers market to make this:

Roasted porcini, morel, and lions mane mushrooms, as well as some beets. Puréed the beet leaves with a stick of butter while steaming some asparagus. Fresh thyme & some shaved Parmesan.

Kinda overcooked the beets but everything else was :discourse:.

Not a golf fan, but... why? LIV's only been around a couple of years, right? Has it been that successful, or is the PGA Tour just afraid of competition? And if that's the case, did LIV just exist as a way for the Saudis to get into the PGA Tour?

Kind of shocked it's a merger, but I suspect it's more the PGA takes LIV and strangles it in the crib in exchange for a lot of money. All the LIV golfers gonna have to degrade themselves at the altar of Augusta before they're allowed back in.
