Anyone ever buy one of these humble bundle things and have a code not work? Just bought this because it's kind of a fun thing to do with the kids and had one key in the middle for Lego Batman 3 say it was activated by a different steam account and therefore not eligible. All the other shit...

Jesus, that movie is almost 4 hours? Probably doesn't even feel like it!

There's still hope. My ex wanted the dog to go with the kids - back and forth. That lasted all of exactly one night. Turns out the dog ain't a fan of being away from the master in a strange place. She got dropped off the next morning and lived out the rest of her days with me. I required her...

Oh, I got plenty of those. Hell, there's one in my work bag. But just because they come to my house doesn't mean I'm home, and I've got a wife and kids to worry about

Almost had that happen with the guy who's best man at my wedding next week. We met 25 years ago at UPS. He was an unloader, and I got hired off the street to work the sort line. He's 6'3" and back then was like 280, linebacker looking dude. Just a fucking ox. No one wanted to sort for him...

Amy Lee is Temu Cristina Scabbia

If we wanna talk about mental decline, we need to start with people who circle half the words in a picture thinking that we won't know where to read to get the point. Oh wait, sorry.

I don't wear watches. I hate wearing all accessories/jewelry. Didn't even wear my wedding ring for the first wife. The phone works fine - I can set it low enough that I can hear it, but it's not enough to wake her up. I just need the fucking clock app not to update itself with a pointless...

As promised. I had to clean up a bunch of information from my private database on chess.com. Hopefully I don't end up doxxing myself! https://lichess.org/study/JHGGy8Ap/z5NFxDz4

I'll do one better and make a Lichess Study of it later. There are a couple moments that he and I talked about after

Yeah, sure. But when you get up at 430 and your spouse doesn't need to be up until 7, you want some discretion

I have one of those too, but it has 2 modes - buzzer and radio. I can't adjust the volume on the buzzer, so when I'm waking up earlier than the spouse, that's out. And the radio has the problem of being the radio. Haven't listened to the radio in over a decade now. The station I grew up with is...

Yeah, humane society is exactly what I'm talking about. It's like $40 to get a spay done there. What kinda anesthesia and training and quality control do you get from that? Also, might as well be inhumane society. Fucking dog I got there I washed a fucking river of piss off of her.

All kinds of pros. The first one being that the people doing it don't exactly have extensive training or make a lot of money. I'm not 100% convinced it's necessary if you're not letting the dog run around fucking everything.

I have automatic updates off on my phone. I have Google play updates off on my phone. I have everything set to ask before installing anything. Despite this, and despite not approving or installing any updates, my phone just randomly changes the appearance and functionality of key features for no...

I feel bad that I wasn't important enough to scam

I had a buddy I met in EQ - I'm talking early days of EQ. We actually met in High Pass running to freeport when we were way too low to be making that run. We played EQ until WoW came out, put a thousand hours into Borderlands, Payday, Civ, Dungeon Defenders, probably a bunch of other games I...

I tell my kids that online friends aren't real friends. I firmly believe that. I don't have anyone that I met online that I still talk to. Real friends are the friends you can hang out and do stuff with. Playing video games is not doing stuff. You don't get the same bond. You think you do -...

The fuck dude. This chick got ghosted for that, we're trying to be supportive here!

Reminds me of the time I was on the fence about a kid and to decide if I was gonna hire him I settled on the final question - "What do you do when a situation stresses you out?" And the kid replied with "I usually go into the bathroom and call my mom." "Okay, well, thank you for your time...

That's because your friends are right! They know you can do better too!

Yeah, it's a whole lot easier to get dudes to come over and bang your brains out when you don't have that weiner hanging around. Good riddance!

Chess.coms analysis of my game with the GM. Him on the left, me on the right. Literally played the best game of my life vs one of the top 2k players on the world.

Depends on if you live where American inventors and faggots have jobs.

Played a grandmaster tonight (simul event) Queens Gambit/Grunfeld exchange version. 40 moves in and the eval was 0.0. He actually pulled a chair over (was playing 15 other people at the time) and sat and thought for 6 full minutes. I don't think you can get a higher compliment. I was the last...

Many things are possible when you don't use real wood.

You're not wrong, but my negative review was never to dissuade anyone from getting it. My aim was simply to inform men of the risks that no one else seems to inform them of. I know exactly zero of what I had happen to me was even hinted at prior. And afterwards, every attempt to sweep it under...

I thought about it, but I decided that's overblown. I've got this entire tree. I slabbed it, flattened it, sanded it. I don't see any evidence of infestation anywhere along the line.

This thing looks and feels spectacular. Inside for a couple months now to cure before I send it to it's final home - a buddy 90 miles away so I don't have to look at the imperfections every day!

That's not a full list. Read the vasectomy thread for a couple years worth of reasons not to.

If only I had a planer wide enough anywhere near me. We have 2 "maker spaces" (I fuckin despise that word) and all they have is a fuckin 20 inch. Doesn't help me at all, I'm less than impressed with the "surfacing" bit I have to route these slabs with. The tool marks are just a whore to get out.

Probably should have hung it up a decade ago. Megadeth was my first show, in '99. Marty Friedman and Dave signed my copy of Cryptic Writings. I still wish I had brought a better album. Saw them with Amon Amarth in Wisconsin like a decade ago and I couldn't even sit thru their show. It was...

99% of my LinkedIn interactions go like this. "Hey are you interested in this gig?" "Is the pay gonna be worth my time?" "No" Why are we talking then?

That's what I ultimately decided too. I'll see if the local hardware store has any of that shit before I order them online.

As Kirun said, my pallet jacks are 1500lbs (3500 fully loaded) and my forklifts are 14,000lbs (18,000lbs fully loaded). You cannot have impaired employees doing that work, they can kill themselves or others. As soon as we notice the impairment, we pull them off of equipment and sit down and...

This I was sleeping on my sister's couch, 50k in debt, paying all the bills, and I had a domestic charge I was currently fighting. I had way less than you, and I'd still get a lawyer again. Get a fucking lawyer, or spend the rest of your life wishing you had

My 401k has a 9.5% rate of return this year. SPLG is up 18.6% in the last year. I was thinking about increasing my 401k contribution but it's fuckin pointless to contribute beyond the match to that horseshit plan that they've charged me $30 this year so far. Every time a financial fuckwad at...

Really? I fully plan on taking all 401ks I ever have from now on and rolling them into the IRA I control. The return I get on just having everything in SPLG is completely incomparable to the "managed" plan I pay for the privilege of having at my employer.
