Patches,

While potentially true - that is not why the holes are missing.

They aren’t part of any spec.

That story is so old that the fisherman can no longer survive because his fish is undervalued, the water overfished, and polluted, the beach illegal to sleep on, and his property unaffordable.

Patches,

Dam Spoilers dude. The episode just aired on April 25, 1988.

Give us some time to watch it.

Patches,

Because if they wrote that down then they would never be able to put on another Sony movie ever again. They would be out of business in short order.

I think it’s the fact that people will openly write the exact same words as you do, and they won’t be joking. It won’t be satire. And there is no way to tell the difference even if they did look at your username - it just means “Anonymous”

Edit: See Poes Law. Guess I’m not first person to think about it.

Chronically underpaid, underinsured, overworked, subjected to abuse…

They are all of these things but nobody cares, and the boss will fire you if you joke with customers about it.

Joking about Mariah Carey being shit ain’t getting anyone fired. Not even Mariah Carey’s assistant … Probably

Patches,

You’d willingly give Nintendo 30% of that GoFundMe?

Coming up next “See which wildly underpaid intern meteorologists bite the dust this time. Coming at you live from inside the storm”

Credit Card Numbers by themselves are technically worthless because you have no guarantee they aren’t just randomly generated.

Verified Credit Cards are worth significantly more on the black market. There is no reason to set off fraud detection by using a fake address. Those resellers do not want the goods - they want good credit card numbers.

Significantly less risk in reselling numbers compared to goods and no logistics, or fencing, to speak of.

Patches,

Sometimes it’s okay to fire a client.

I can’t think of a more appropriate time for

You had one job…

When a grape trellis collapses due to the weight of… checks notes grapes.

Patches,

Keep that URL Blue. You will never be the same.

Patches,

Don’t lie. You just wanna see T’Pol’s feet.

Cause that’s all that’s guaranteed from a Tarantino flick.

Patches,

If these last few years have taught us anything.

They are putting undisclosed ingredients into the food even if they are regulated.

Patches,

If college taught me anything, it’s that I can write thousands of words per night. Typically fastest in the wee hours of the morning.

None of these words are good, mind you, but they are in fact words.

Because Jen in accounting doesn’t believe in it, and Tom the CIO likes his data stored raw in TXT Amphibious Delineated. Then our biggest client prefers data as Jason so we swapped half of our database to that to speed things up.

But the real problem is high turnover because we don’t pay anyone enough to work on things they are proud of. After 2 years we stop doing even 3% COL raises so they go elsewhere. So every 2-4 years each position gets a new opinionated asshole.

Patches,

It’s not easy being an upstairs neighbor

Patches,

What’s wild is that you’ll see them get a night job, or have to stay up late on vacation a few times and they’ll be 100/10 miserable af. Never adapt to it, and still keep believing iTs aLl SeLf DiScIpLInE

Patches,

I’m just here for the free stuff.

Libby, Hoopla, Overdrive are all free and helps support the authors to make more books. Win win.

If you don’t like the borrowing format then just clone the epub after borrowing it. It isn’t difficult to do, and author still makes money.

Instructions unclear. I don’t think u/Aermis is coming back. He ded

Patches,

Yes but how will I feel good that I spent 140k on a piece of paper if I don’t brag about it?

Patches,

This is the one time it is a both sides issue.

Fahrenheit is the way to go.

Taking this opportunity to argue why Fahrenheit over Celsius makes way more sense. Fahrenheit is essentially based on a scale of 0 to 100, which is a scale we use for most things in life. Yes we can go below 0 or above 100, but it’s such a perfect scale to understand exactly HOW hot or cold something is.

It’s 70 degrees outside? Wow, we’re at 70% heat. I bet that feels really nice and not too hot. Oh no it’s 100 degrees so we’re at 100% heat? Probably want to stay inside today. Water freezes once we get to 32%? Makes sense, that’s pretty cold. I’ll need to wear a winter coat. 0% outside? No way I want to go out in that.

In terms of understanding how how or cold it is outside, looking at the temperature as a number out of 100% is a perfect way of understanding that and having a frame of reference.

Celsius is so dumb. A 70 degree day in summer sounds great. 70% heat, not too hot, not too cold, just right. But convert that to Celsius? It’s 21 degrees in the summer? What does that even mean? Stupid.

Also because of the way the math works, the scale for Celsius makes no sense. It’s 0 degrees out in the U.S., that’s -18 Celsius. But if it’s 100 in the U.S., that’s only 38 Celsius? What kind of stupid scale runs from -18 to 38? 0 to 100 is the way to go.

Imagine if test scores ran from -18 to 38. Would you support this nonsensical scale then?

To be clear, I’m on board with the metric system and I definitely don’t think the U.S. does everything right. But Celsius is trash.

Patches,

Alternatively after seeing IT Follows - I am not whoring it up enough. That’s the only way to stay safe.

Patches,

The SCOTUS precedent

Don’t worry they don’t believe in Precedent anymore. You just need to grease their wheels. I hear it’s cheaper than you think.
