I'm officially old. Bough Bard's Tale 1,2, and 3 also. I remember having Bard's Tale 1 but the rest I just passed on I guess.

I looked at the screenshots for the D&D collection. One of the player characters in the screenshots was titled "Not Drizzt". Lol. Someone was deep into role playing.

It's not the air roducts you are thinking of. They aren't refilling bottles and shit lol. They're a complete self contained plant service a chemical plant or refinery for the air and gas type needs 24/7. The one adjacent to Dow has probably 1000 people working 24/7 at any given time. It's not a...

Did someone say softball? This was Oregon a few days ago.

Tempted to get this. I dunno, I remember some pretty bad games back then. GOG.com

Dream job. Spot on.

I had to get off the zolof as it was affecting my blood sugar by a pretty good amount. The internist I saw who presribed it said I should really seek counseling instead of getting another anti depressent. He sent me a registered letter saying he would no longer treat me becuase I sent a message...

In our industry if they use the term engineer they better have a stamp and the ability to use it. Otherwise they just say you work in the engineering department which is pretty common, which is actually what you do.

All the shops here have it delivered every day. I just dropped off my tank and will pick up the refill next week. They get the at shop tanks of several thousand cubic feet refilled and the driver just takes my small bottles in and brings them back the next day. All the argon, helim, and co2 gets...

If you are concerned it's related to blood sugar, wal-mart sells meters to check it for only $9. Can just check it when you have a flare up or whatever. Not a huge investment.

I should have taken a pic but I didn't have my phone. She was not taking shit at all and I'm guessing she weighed 110 pounds wet. Both the people she fired could have just sat on her lol

I don't remember ever thinking I want to be a soandso when I grow up. My mom kept something I wrote when I was probably 8-10 years old for school or something. I wanted to grow up and live all alone in a cabin in the woods. Now I live all alone in a house in the woods. Later I wanted to be a...

After several days of downpours it will slide off into the ocean, then start a new drought and fires. Cousin owns a semi recovery service. IE towtrucks for semi trucks. Normally they concentrate on the logging industry unsticking/recovering log trucks in East, TX. They've had to send their...

Oil closed above $50/brl for the first time in a while, had got down to $26/brl back in February. OPEC met last week and they voted not to reduce output. Lot of talk swirling around OPEC having lost their ability to steer the market now.

Saw two people get fired at McDonalds today. Made me feel good. She was bitching at them about flirting with customers and the girl said "I wasn't flirting", and the manager said "Giving a customer your phone number is flirting" lol. Maybe the service will improve. The manager was a black woman...

Started in the Vietnam era that a disproportinate were black. Nope, slightly below their general population numbers.

I made one of my doctors eat their words. I love it when that happens. The MS doctor was of the opinion "all of this" could be caused by my diabetes. I thought that would be very odd considering one day you're OK. The next day you either have MS or ADEM and then mass corticosteroids and then...

Both have their own thread int he sports forum. The one for Ali is 4 pages.

80 cubic feet of argon. Exciting stuff.

It's not all that uncommon for companies to pay a per diem the first year (tax free the first year I believe) of $500/week or so. Not exactly all that hard to find skill sets either. I would think $500/week would really help east the pain of moving. Some of it is field related but a lot of it...

Yeah the Brazos is 4.5' above it's record crest, ever. I gotta believe all that growth west of Houston out toward Katy and such isn't helping.

Friend went into the Navy after high school. All he talked about when he got out was how hard/tough it was. To no end. I didn't know, never been in the military. Then his dad told me he went straight to a squadron that upkept Gulfstream private type jets for flying big wigs in the Navy all over...

I saw a documentary on it. Was going to say Private Benjamin too.

Inspections are nothing more than someone walking thru to make sure the house will meet code. That's it in most places. Not that they are safe, free of mildew, or well built. Lots of people I talk to seem to equate a good inspection with quality. Has nothing to do with quality, just like code...

No, that would require driving down there. Too much hassle.

East, TX same way. About 17 years ago Rayburn basically dried up. 140,000 acre lake down to nothing. It looked like a pasture with 15' tall weeds in it. People were like "OMG" the lake is doomed. 6 months later both Toledo Bend and Rayburn had the gates open 24/7 making power again and the...

Auburn extended Malzahns contract to 2020. Last I heard he was on the hot seat. Guess not.

Shit fresh red salmon (sockeye) cooked and eaten 10 minutes after catching is one of the best meals you can have.

6'-0 and I weighed 135 at graduation. Took me almost 30 years to get to 190. Then 3 months to get down to 160ish.

Pretty sobering to read that note Ike wrote in case of the failed D-Day invasion. They have it on display at the WWII/D-Day musem in New Orelans.

My Dall was pretty damn good. For those in AK it's an over the counter buy depending on where you want to hunt.

Won a welder on ebay today. It sold for >$10k a year ago and I got it for $900. Just have to get it here now. Really cut his target down requiring 3 phase power.

It's not transferable. Once you are drawn you can't put in for another in that stage, ever. I'm going to turn it in and they have a redraw or over the counter deal. I'm not sure what ID does to be honest. I think in total ID only had less than a dozen bighorn tags this year.

Well considering reciprocating saw is the #1 tool for demo work....yeah.

Swiss reject guaranteed basic income today. Odd that some in the US are moving toward that direction when at some parts of Europe are now saying "Let's hold on and take a breath a second while we're adding a ton more who are going to be dependents now". Why the Swiss voted to a guaranteed...
