Rhyno - get a magnetic stud finder. The electronic ones are all poo poo.

That or you can tap on the wall. Hollow sound = drywall only, solid sound = stud.

Wall anchor chat: the aluminum screw anchors that mushroom out are a pain in the rear end to remove unless you’re sure that you leave it not completely compressed so you can back it out when you want to move things. Usually removal = dry wall spackle + texture and paint match. My grandpa was a huge fan of those and after he passed away and the house was being sold we had the pleasure of patching 3/4 of the anchor holes, we were lucky and could back out the other 1/4.

I just had a ‘beyond meat’ burger.
It significantly weirded me out (but was good!)

Have any of you proper meat eating goons had one?

Can't say I've eaten one, but I've seen them at Target. There's just something about vegetable-based "meat" that's just off-putting to me. Don't get me wrong, I love me some vegetables, but if science is going to make stuff, I want to see the wildest creation possible as opposed to something being passed off as a substitute. I will say that it is the first veggie burger I've seen that looks like an actual meat product, so maybe if I didn't know what it was and it was plated without any previous bias, I may enjoy it? How different did it taste than an actual meat-based burger?

They could have notified you before, but at least they didn't pull the usual "go through with the interview anyways when we know the position has been filled" stunt.

GovernmentJobs.txt

It's even worse when they not only jack off your time but that of your references so HR can tick a box. The requirement that they have to interview at all when they know drat good and well that they're going to promote from within only further punctuates how worthless HR really is.

In early 1996, I was a very small guy. 5'1" and maybe 125lbs. I'd also recently changed schools and didn't have many friends. So I was a target and dude nearly twice my size beat the unholy gently caress out of me. Like, beat me so bad I got knocked out. And after all the hoopla he got a single day of suspension because basketball is more important than an child's safety.

That's always the best. I was also short until I graduated high school, just kept growing until I was 25 got that from my dad's side. I missed our 10-year class reunion so I went to our 20th and boy am I glad I did. I don't have multiple divorces, poo poo job issues, child support issues or anything of the like that you're talking about like the people that were the super jocks/popular kids that grew up thinking they are on top. I played sports as well, but more of a stay in shape 3rd string sort of thing, not into the realm of my life and well being depends on me playing well with balls.

I'll stick with Ubuntu.

It's great not being nagged weekly to restart your computer to install critical updates which may or may not break your operating system and/or delete your data.

I use to use *nix everything, but nowadays I can’t be assed to do much on my main pc other than play games and watch Netflix so I just disable the windows update service.

I just painted our living and dining areas. gently caress. PAINTING.

Quoted for truth. It's my least favorite part of anything house related. For me, it was synonymous with this line from 2010-2012 "OH MY GOD, I JUST SAW A PINTEREST THAT..."


Wait, I think I dropped off AI too long last time.

Welcome to living with women dude.

Same clutter situation, different motives. My wife is the "I'm going to have a garage sale with this stuff!" kind. Which inevitably means 2 things: 1, I never actually have a 2 car garage and 2, said yard sale never happens. As soon as I eventually take everything to the dump, more poo poo gets thrown back in, because "I'M SAVING THIS FOR A GARAGE SALE!" It used to be a 0 car garage, but after a few years and some shrewd negotiating, I finally have at least 1/2 the garage, so it's now a perpetual 1 car garage, the other side is just a pig sty.

California was a mistake, really.

Can confirm. Recently, it’s becoming an increasingly larger mistake.

Dang, looks like I missed internet white knights trying to defend fat Megan's honor as a path to her pants and more importantly another battle lost to cancer. :(
