    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    The biggest CVS rustle is the repeated times they have told me they could work my refill dates to slowly align all the medications my wife and I get to land on the same day each month. And it has never worked... not once.... yet they keep trying to talk me into trying it again....

    Yeah, it's just that I eat too much of them. For instance. I just walked from my office, back to my workshop to check on a 3d print, walking back through the kitchen... Grabbed 4 big ass strawberries out of the fridge. Odd that shifting our fruit/vegetable purchasing to the newly opened HEB...

    There you go with your fancy schmancy attitude and tricked up systems... sheesh.... ;) If I had that kind of willpower do you think I'd be posting daily on an elf pixel boob simulator message board? And to be honest though, a lot of the snacks I eat aren't "crappy", a lot of fruit in the mix...

    So this week I start my "short timer dead man walking" week. Various commission and other incentives pay out based on the end of August at my company so whereas I know I'm leaving, I'm not telling the company yet. Debating what level of various assistances I'm about to need to speed learn a...

    I've done calorie counting before. It worked, but you have to lock in and be serious about it. 500 calorie deficit per day off below your burn rate and you'll drop almost exactly a pound a week. At least that is how it was for me. I used my watch at the time to get an idea of my daily burn...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Same sir.... For me it was the Putt Putt Golf'n'Games in Mesquite. I could ride my bike there from my house. And all I have to show for it to this day are the memories of knowing nobody dared face me in Track and Field, and two trophies from Putt-Putt tournaments.

    Apparently, it seems the "Ethics provisions" assign the DoJ as the enforcement/prosecution power and the democrats wanted that pushed down to the state AGs. At least that's the best reason I've read so far today.

    Wondering if anybody has crossed this hurdle before. I'm about to change employers. New employer is a little startup (I'll be something around employee number 30). They don't currently offer a 401k. So I'll be shifting from a 401k contribution to an IRA contribution of some kind, but it's...

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    I watched that trailer.. it's got some decent visuals, but still not grabbing me. But the much larger problem is, I can't tell if RDJ is trying to do a bad Arnold impersonation, or a bad Nandor impersonation. Still on the "VOD or the high seas" list for me so far.

    It's a Unifi gateway I'm installing. The gateway itself hasn't been the rustle. It's everything that's "organically" happened in my network since my old firewall was put in. Like me forgetting the FW was ALSO the DHCP server, and had a lot of static leases. Then my existing Uni OS manager...

    That was the goal, plus there are a ton of insiders who had pre-IPO shares which are vesting during the next year. There will be a considerable supply over time. I think he limited the initial tranche because he wanted to prop up value and establish a base before supply went up.

    Hurm. Kinda hope they don't roll this plotline right up front. Eventual introduction, sure. But also the leak/rumors, if true, will just solidify the opinion of James Gunn (since he is the guy in charge of the whole universe) as just being a tool of the message. They should have never...
