One of the funniest exchanges ever was asking a guy who clearly had a table saw amputation of finger if it was from a table saw. He deadpanned "no actually, it was from an accident in my fencing club" "oh really?!" "Nope, it was a table saw..."

3 generations of men before me are missing fingers from table saws.

My father lost his index finger in 1991, working alone in the garage. I was on the first date of my entire life. I came home to an empty house with an open garage, and a big pile of blood-soaked sawdust with drying drops of blood in a trail through the house. Thankfully, a neighbor came over after a few minutes of utter panic and told me what happened.

My grandfather had his ring finger missing as long as I knew him. He never told me how; his stories ranged from "I was picking my nose and something up there bit it off" or other poo poo to scare kids. After he died, my dad talked about how he was a Seabee, and lost it at Guadalcanal to a tablesaw in the rush to get airfields laid down. Just doing engineering work under occasional sniper fire, a bloody bandage wrapped around a finger he knew would never get re-attached.

My great-grandfather lost a thumb to table-saw in Texas, working in a remote camp for Standard Oil when the first derricks were being put up.

I don't work with wood.

One bit about my father missing half his index finger; he was the dockmaster at a shipyard here in Mobile after retiring from the Navy. During one all-management meeting when the owner of the yard was in town (George Gibbs was from Jacksonville, owned a yard there, half-owned a yard in Tampa with George Steinbrenner, and owned one in Mobile), he was there only because of his position, not because he needed to brief anything. So a yard superintendent leaned over to him while someone else was talking, and asked when the docking was scheduled for a cruise ship coming in. Dad held up both hands, all fingers out. "10 AM?", the superintendent asked. My dad shook his head, and stone-faced, said "9:30."

The guy laughed so hard he disrupted the meeting and got kicked out.

Trump also apparently ‘launched’ those at Sneakercon, which would be the equivalent of him introducing a car at SEMA or the Detroit/LA Auto Show.

Somebody needs to track down whatever factory in China put those together and ask some drat questions.

Jorts are just how you salvage worn out jeans, like, that's always been and will always be a thing

but also just wear what you want, fashion is a stupid obession that convinces people to dispose of billions of articles of still good clothing, a massive environmental disaster especially since most clothes are made of microplastic fibers now and also who cares what people think about how you look

unless you're single and trying to attract someone, or you're going to a job interview, in which case yes by all means conform, you idiot, how you dress sends signals about what kind of person you are and your future depends on those moments, for gently caress's sake

Catching up because I haven't been here in a week.

Actually, everyone cares about how you (general you) look, even you whether you want to admit it or not. Wearing flattering clothing is important. My coworker is about to get her rear end fired because she rolls up to work in poo poo that doesn't fit her and makes her look like a child in her mom's cast off clothing. Technically, she's complying with the dress code but she looks sloppy and unkempt and it is 100% affecting how she's treated at work. One day she came in in a pair of pants about 4" too long and she clipped the ends up with binder clips because in her mind that solved the problem. She's about 5' tall so all pants are going to be long. She will just order stuff on Amazon and if she can get it on her body she wears it, no matter if it fits well or not. I'm a plus size 5'3" round girl so I understand the struggle to find clothes that fit and if I can do it she can too.

My point is that dressing yourself is a life skill, not just vanity. How you present yourself through clothing and hygiene is extremely important. My coworker thinks fashion is for airheads and she's an intellectual but that's just an excuse.

I agree fast fashion is a problem but if that's your hang up then invest in good poo poo and have it tailored. Dressing well is not just for dates and job interviews and it's a skill you have to keep sharp because if you only use it some of the time you lose it.

I'm dressing up this Friday for a girls night at a speakeasy and I plan to look fine as gently caress. "Who cares what you wear" is for people who've never found an outfit that makes them feel amazing. That makes me sad.

If your coworker is getting fired for her attire while complying with the dress code I hope she enjoys her fat wrongful termination payout? I’m guessing you mean they need her (or someone in general) gone and the way she dresses will contribute to them picking her even if it’s not said out loud. Which still sucks but seems like less of a labor lawyer bat signal.

There are other things happening but it's a factor. Hygiene is an issue as well. They don't necessarily have a "make sure your pants hems don't drag the ground clause" yet but there may be one in the future. It's not my call to make.

The Central Park looking area is Balboa Park. Absolutely tons of museums and cool stuff to look at. Big recommended. The aviation museum and museum of man are my favorites.

You're also close to the USS Midway, which is a super cool tour too.

Edgewater Grill and Sally's Fish House in Seaport village are great for local seafood. Hi Poke is in the same area if that's your thing.

Big post-trip thanks for this. That area is packed with stuff to do and places to eat. Friday to Sunday we did the zoo (very impressive), walked that boardwalk down to the shops, toured the Midway, did the air and space museum then the recently renamed museum of us. Ate at the Local Eatery (travel day dinner, it was close), Full Moon sushi, Sally's Fish House, Las Hadas, Hi Poke, and Barbusa. Not a bad meal in the bunch. We didn't have a way to keep or reheat leftovers, so we absolutely stuffed ourselves at Las Hadas.

My wife went back to MN on Monday, and I stayed for work training through Friday. We went to a different restaurant in Little Italy that wasn't nearly as good as Barbusa, but that was really it for noteworthy food for those days. We split into groups for different activities on Thursday, and I got to see the little blue penguins at the Birch Aquarium. In total the training was about 50 people, which is our entire group at work from associates up to partner-in-charge. The highlight of the work portion of the trip was VIP backroom karaoke with the partners keeping the room stocked with beer and soju until midnight. That was also the night before I gave my training presentation.

We did a short trip to SD last month. Unfortunately our 7 year old immediately got “throwing up every hour for a full day” sick so we basically spent the whole time in the hotel room.

She's so cute and I wanna pet her.

The worst experience I had supervising was having a conversation with someone I was supervising about the fact that she never, ever washed her hands after using the bathroom. I got told she didn't need wash her hands because hamd sanitzer exists and they never washed their hands when she was my age and it was fine.
