My grandfather and like half my extended family are from n yorkshire, so it is basicallyy default english accent.
My grandfather basically had no accent at all though because he lived in Uk, Canada, US, as well as being a foriegn service officer so his accemt was a musmash of everything that sounded neutral to everyone. It was kinda weird.

This is basically my accent now except the occasional time where a bit of extra aussie or Irish or something pops out

I dropped out of pharmacy school after a medication that's been around ever and used off label to treat gout got recognized by the FDA for its treatment of gout, revoked the generic and gave the rights to a company who then sold it for $85/tab

It costs $0.01/tab to manufacture

So I hesitate to do this but since we participated in the dogge contest, it would be nice if we jumped into the GWP dogge thread to offer condolences to Icarus' owner. Icarus (a very good dogge) had an accident and is chasing bumpers in vallalla now. His owner, Nostalgia4Dogges is understandably upset given the circumstances.

oh noooooo :(

All things being relative, not really. Its your typical midwest climate - upper teens/lower 20s (-10 to -5 C) for average lows during the winter, upper 80s to lower 90s (30 to 35 C) for average highs in the summer. Detroit is at the wrong end of the lake for lake effect snow in the winter (warm lake water relative to the air causes clouds that drop snow up to 30 miles inland) so aside from the occasional cold snap winter is more or less tolerable for people accustomed to living where it snows in the winter.

There are definitely bad, bad parts of Detroit I wouldn't want to be caught dead in but the whole city isn't some post-apocalyptic Mad Max hellhole - and that extends outside of downtown. My biggest worry about living in Detroit proper and not outlying suburbs is the longterm viability of the city government.

Ya all this

also it's almost as cloudy as ireland or norway but the suburbs are very nice. I live in a suburb about 15 miles from downtown detroit and it's close enough to be able to go to a hockey game easily and downtown is safe enough that you can walk around at 2a without too much worry, but it's definitely dodgier than some other DT area. it's also far enough that if i drive north for half an hour i can go buy antiques and stuff at tiny shops in tiny towns

the urban sprawl is pretty immense though, i was driving almost 40miles one way to work when i was at Ford and i never crossed into backwoods area, it was all within the sprawl

Forgot to mention: yesterday, I had a phone interview for a position, since my hot company still seems to want me out for whatever reason (I'm doing Knowledge Transfer with another guy already), and frankly, I'm done with working for an outsourcer or any kind of contracting. That one was the one with the company's recruiter, and seemed fine. Basic stuff, making sure that I was who I said I was, etc. Second technical one was supposed to be today, set up by the recruiter, but the guy never called. I hope it's just a miscommunication, but it really took the wind out of my sails that I delayed lunch, scheduled time to be out of the building (for privacy and to not be doing that poo poo on current company's time/space) and got nothing out of it. I really want out of here. 17 years is enough, and luxury retail is going nowhere. In fact, the host company is about to be sold to yet another investment group (which will probably tell you exactly who it is.)
I'm going to go home and drink while playing Minecraft. It's almost Zen.

Get out quick, friend

They're getting demolished by Amazon and other online retailers and the store is almost always empty

I have, in the past, brushed enough hair off Lydia to create a second Lydia. This is a 20+ kg dog.

Here is Guv getting some post-surgery exercise. He loves to swim. Lydia is watching on. She hates to swim.



Ya he's starting to blow his coat which means I'm going to be brushing a 40kg dog who is deathly afraid of the blow out brush :rip:
