I know it's not covid, but every single time I've felt I'm developing a head cold, I've turned to whoever my boss is and said that I was going home right then and I'd be back in three days time because I didn't want anyone else to catch it. Even when I got covid, I never left the house until I tested negative and then needed three more days to get physically right

Aiden Gillen's accent in The Wire is so much better than whatever the gently caress he was going for in Game Of Thrones, though that may have been the point

Decided to see if the godawful squeaking from the back of my car is from some boxes in the boot or my suspension is dying. Start moving stuff around and find that water has gotten in on my driver's side and the carpet covering has got mouldy and there is a godawful loving smell. Terrific

I am incredibly well paid in comparison to how little work I actually do during the week, and I could easily go back to a field engineer role but traffic and endless gobshites trying to be funny are not for me

it's been from daytime highs of mid 30s going to low 20s at night (all in that weird non-celcius temperature) in the UK for the last week and a half and people have been losing their minds because it's not been this continually cold in winter for nearly a decade

Crescent Wrench posted:Worst movie-going experience would probably be the first Michael Bay Transformers movie, the only movie I've ever walked out of in actual disgust. I was pretty drunk, and I'd made the mistake of hyping myself up by watching the animated movie right before, so I was getting pretty pissed off at how manifestly terrible was. I made it to when Optimus Prime says "my bad!" before I threw my hands up (literally) and left. I'd been dating my now-wife for a year or two and I had to reimburse her for her ticket. according to my girlfriend at the time, when Bumblebee, Sam and Mikaela meet up with Prime, Ironhide, Ratchet and Jazz in the alleyway I had the biggest grin on my face. Movie was ok, but good lord when we went to watch 'Revenge Of The Fallen' I developed a massive headache and wanted to leave after 45 minutes. That one absolutely loving sucked

Quiet Feet posted:The first Michael Bay Transformers movie was acceptable. Not even good, just okay. The rest have sucked tremendously. first was good, second was hot garbage, third was bizarrely coherent, fourth was loving awful, fifth was "you know what, this is preposterous, let's lean all the way into it". 'Bumblebee' was great, and the last one wasn't as good as that but better than the Baystrosities

I used to work for the Golden Arches way back in the day, and wanted to know why the last store I worked at looks like this now: turns out it was demolished to make way for an extension to the West Midlands Metro, though I also think this may have had something to do with it:

did something useful today and replaced the dipped beam headlight bulb in my ford focus, but sweet jesus it was more involved than it should have been. You have to unscrew and remove the entire headlamp assembly to get at it, which included very nearly threading one of the securing screws

The first time I visited America, I flew in from Chicago to Kansas City and stayed in Wichita. It snowed on the Sunday, had what I guess was a typical, many hour midwestern thunderstorm on Monday morning into the afternoon and was bright, sunny and in the mid to low seventies fahrenheit from Wednesday on, all in the middle of March

Went out running this morning, as I have done twice a week for the last 15 months or so. Now I call it running, but it's more a mixture of jogging/shambling but it gets me out of the house and counts a physical exercise. Anyway, the night before my run I always check the weather to see what it's going to be like when I'm out and this morning's forecast was for 18-20mm of rain an hour. No biggie, I'll get soaked but it should be fine. Leave my house to no rain, and after a mile or so it starts lightly falling so I think to myself "ah, I might miss the worst of it". Oh how wrong I was, as within five minutes the light rain had turned heavy, and a few minutes later 40-50mph hour gusts were thrown into the mix and I quickly went from "gently caress, I'm wet" to "my clothes are literally dripping water, I am freezing cold and I'm a good 10 minute run from my house". After sheltering my the Napoleonic era sea walls down by the front, and the rain and wind eased off slightly, I ran as quick as I physically could. Had a hot shower which I could barely feel, had to wring out the water from my gear, my trainers are soaked and I'm still cold now some seven hours after getting back inside

I think the UK started an adult swim block in 2006 (maybe), so we got early ATHF, Sealab 2021, Metalocalypse, Venture Brothers, etc. Also, the re-dubbed proper episode of Sealab 2021 absolutely threw me when I first watched it

BlindSite posted:I would assume any ship coming into port utilises a pilot and tower type conversation to make sure they're in the right place so it doesn't. Someone hosed up people saying it lost power right before it hit the bridge. And the funny thing about pilots on ships is that even though they are onboard for their navigational expertise, the ship's captain still has the final word on orders being given, or so I've been led to believe

bobjr posted:When I went to Mackinac Island and saw the bridge that spands the two parts of Michigan they mentioned how the bridge was reinforced and small boats sometimes crash into it and run into a bad time for the boats, and the bridge itself is always fine, but I wonder how much you can even prepare when it’s a ship that big. it's also 100m smaller and has a capacity of 50% than the Ever Given and the current class of Ultra Large Container ships

Anyway, I went to e-cigs but the company I went with first stopped selling them, I moved to Blu e-cigs and they were just absolutely loving terrible so after three months of using those I realised I didn't need to buy them any more and I haven't smoked since

the only thing I know about the military in the UK from when we had the contract to fix their printers is that they all hosed off for the week on Friday lunchtime, a fact we absolutely didn't share with our schedulers. So if we were given a call to go to a barracks at 2pm on a Friday it was a cue to go home because we weren't getting in to fix anything

BP said they had to close a couple of hundred petrol stations as they didn't have enough drivers to keep them stocked, Brits took this to mean "we're running out of gas, let's go fill up" and so emptied out almost every petrol station of fuel in about two days

Android Apocalypse posted:Ghostbusters: Afterlife is on FX (likely to coincide with Frozen Kingdom being out in theaters right now) and I haven't seen this since it was out in the theaters. I saw Frozen Empire last week and it was fine? There are valid criticisms you can raise against it, and they are very obvious once the film gets going but it is chock full of groan-inducing dad-style jokes which just tickled me the right way. I could say more, but I'm worried about spoilers so I'll leave it at that

Docjowles posted:Interestingly Wikipedia puts Foo Fighters in this post-grunge bucket, which seems harsh (if literally true of where Grohl came from heh). Then again I'm very meh on Foo Fighters for reasons I've never been able to pin down so maybe there's something there. I believe this was the first time I saw Foo Fighters, which was on The Colour And The Shape tour in 1997  I had bruised a rib baby-sitting my cousin that afternoon - he was playing with some toys and then started mewing, so I left over the armchair I was on a little too quick and slammed my rib into the chair's wooden frame - so the moshpit that night was an adventure. Also, they brought Roger Taylor out for a drum battle with Dave on a cover of 'Sheer Heart Attack' because of course they did. This is what they played that night
