It’s like 18 degrees out and snowing like a mother fucker, so a couple of friends and I dragged my cast iron chimney out from the backyard up to the deck and stood around a fire drinking scotch and smoked a couple of beef tenderloins and made sammiches, not a bad evening!

Welp renting the last half of The Two Towers on Prime for $4 because my pristine unscratched DVD freezes about halfway through and going through the main menu and selecting any scenes after that freezes it up and crashes. Funnily enough, it freezes right after Aragorn gets dragged off the cliff by one of the Isengard wolves. So, a literal cliff hanger

Blowjob Overtime posted:e: Also all the companies I've worked for are initial screen, then they don't give a poo poo unless you drive a forklift into a wall or something. Yeah, every job I’ve ever had is “pass a drug screen before we hire you” and then never again, unless you had a workplace accident, which I was always low risk for as an office drone. My only scare when I used to smoke more often was going up north for a long weekend with some friends and we smoked a plenty, and then I came back to work at my last job where they announced they were purchased by another corporation and we would continue to be employees, but had to re-do the application, background check, and drug screen process to be eligible and I was like weelllll gently caress. Luckily that didn’t happen for a few weeks and I was good.

GD_American posted:On a related note, my wife’s federal employer made everyone in the building return to work starting today My employer told us all to just work from home for the holidays in mid-December (we have two teams that rotate one week in-office, one week at home since about September). Our team was originally scheduled back in-office this week which would have sucked but last week they extended it out to January 17th which I presume is Covid related and will see if they push it out again. Also I was sick for two weeks at the beginning of December so I haven’t actually been in the office since November

Bird in a Blender posted:This reminded me of when I came home one day and found bird feathers scattered across my kitchen. I think a bird swooped in through the kitchen hood exhaust, and one of my cats must have quickly disposed of it. I could find no other evidence of the bird. I saw a mouse scampering around a month ago or so for a few days and neither of them seemed very interested in it, but then I never saw it again. Soon after I found one singular mouse-sized internal organ on the floor, so whichever one ate it must have been a little picky.

The Puppy Bowl posted:I swear to god trying to find the cheap pdf versions of this quarter's textbooks has me past my breaking point. The multitude of layered costs in this deeply insidious cash grab we call an education system is... overwhelming. I went to a lowly technical college right out of highschool and it kind of worked out okay in that you would buy your textbooks used at the campus bookstore and then you could sell them back at the end of the semester for pretty cheap but it still helped on costs a lot. Except for the Supply Chain Management class which I remember precisely zero of, aside from the fact we all had to buy a new “special edition” of the normal textbook which was expensive as gently caress. And then everyone found out at the end of the semester the “special” part was that it had chapters irrelevant to our class removed, and the bookstore wouldn’t buy them back which was why there weren’t any pre owned ones to buy

We have these stupid awards at work people across the company can nominate each other for if they think someone went above and beyond on something, and you can use them to exchange for stuff I think? But I keep getting nominated for it from HR people that keep asking me to do poo poo absolute last second which is basically just doing my job at this point. Anyway, one of my coworkers hasn’t gotten one yet and he’s super swamped all day every day and generally kicking rear end. I needed his help for something that someone nominated me for another award on today, so I told her she should give it to him instead and she did, now he’s all happy

Well I guess I hosed up talking myself out of buying an Xbox 360, controllers, some iteration of Rock Band with guitars, drums, and microphone for $300 at a rummage sale this summer, huh. Not that it wouldn’t have ended up buried in the basement with all of the other stupid poo poo I impulse purchase though. Also, y’all mean to tell me it’s in the realm of possibility I can get an old 360 instrument to sync with an Xbone but it’s impossible to sync my old like $600 Xbox 360 Fanatec wheel, this is bullshit.

Braksgirl posted:Were you using gel food coloring or the kind in the pack from the grocery store? Sometimes the thin grocery store food colors will break your egg whites. Also you should add the food color after you add in the almond flour. Yeah I was using the grocery store food stuff, I’ll keep an eye out for gel coloring and add after! I’m not gonna quit until I make some cute drat macarons so I’m planning on trying again this weekend. Thanks for the helpful tips!

Freaquency posted:I prefer my bacon to have a little chew to it if I’m eating it alone, but on a sandwich? It needs to be crispy enough that it breaks cleanly with every bit so you don’t end up pulling out whole strips of it with you teeth. I can go either way with bacon, but yeah on a sandwich it needs to be crispy. An acquaintance that doesn’t know his way around the kitchen criticized my use of rosemary and thyme on beef tenderloin when I made sandwiches for everyone (apparently this seasoning combination should only be used on holiday ham lmao) and then the next weekend made like $50 worth of tri tip sandwiches for us and smoked it to barely medium rare and that was the most difficult sandwich I’ve ever eaten lol

I love working from home, because whenever I order something I get to watch all of the delivery services except the one carrying my package putter through the neighborhood all morning and early afternoon. If I order something on Amazon, FedEx and UPS make deliveries to my neighbors from like 10:00AM-12:30PM and my poo poo shows up at 7:30 at night. If my package is coming UPS, I get to watch Amazon and FedEx drop everyone’s poo poo off all day, etc. This rules. I think Justified is the only series I’ve ever bought the entirety of on DVD. Then my parents borrowed it and let the dog chew up all of the cases and boxes

I smoked a buttload of wings on my friend’s new pellet smoker tonight and had to use every square inch of grill space since my other friend got like an 8 pound pack of drummies and flats. Which meant I kept burning my hand on the hot grates getting to all the wings way in back on the bottom grate, so now my right hand is covered in burn marks and my left hand is already covered in angry cat claw marks. Wings were nice and crispy and tasty tho.

I saw Spider-Man today and it was fantastic, but now I miss/am nostalgic for the Tobey and Andrew movies so I’m gonna have to do a re-watch of those soon. End credit spoiler: I’m not sure if they’re icing out Tom Hardy but if they’re making a new Venom character it would be hilarious if bartender Dany Rojas is the new host and I’m there for it Also speaking of Spider-Man and timelines, you’re all fools if you go back to 6 and plonk all your money down on Amazon the timeline will be different and you’ll look like an idiot when Amazon flounders, but at least the world will be better in that timeline!
