Thanks. Just imagine if someone had dropped their phone on the train.

It depends on how far north you are and whether you believe central Jersey exists.

The lower left map was clearly drawn by someone who thinks they’re New York, for example. It’s understandable that they don’t want Toms River, so they pawn it off as south Jersey. But actual south Jersey doesn’t want it either. Toms River basically proves that central Jersey exists.

Genius, pure genius.

I don’t think I’ve thought about this episode in like 30 years. Yet I can hear the line like it was yesterday.

I avoid this by consistently using the same spoon. Other dishes may sit for awhile, but the chosen spoon gets washed after every use. Because there’s not just one weird spoon. There’s a whole stack of them and I have no idea where most of them came from. One of this, two of that, it’s all hodgepodge chaos.

But I’m glad they’re there. That way, my spouse has spoons to use that aren’t the chosen spoon.

I went through several types before settling on the AirFit F30i. Under the nose, over the mouth, top hose. There’s also hose supports you can buy for cheap that go under the mattress and hold the hose above. I toss and turn like crazy and it’s a life saver.

see (read: hear + a little see) it.

Sounds like my experience in the theater. Most of the show was blocked by the ASL interpreters in the row in front of us. To be fair, the tickets were discounted.

Still a great show.

Has anyone seen Frank Bennedetto? He might be able to help with the popcorn sitch. Also, he still owes me five bucks.

Irish people were among the most oppressed white minorities back in the day.

Most of the Irish Americans I know are just keen on dishing it back out to whatever Other they can target. I’m also related to most of the Irish Americans I know, so take that as you will.

Maybe it depends on what I want to happen when that load spike comes.

I don’t know what they wanted to happen, but at my old place the load spike overloaded the UPS units.

Me: “we really shouldn’t be running these at 85 90 95%.”

Brass: “That’s not 100. Find room to ingest this company we bought when the CEO made a friend at a circlejerk.”

UPS: Bypass mode, bitches!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I try to be that friend. Mostly, people are too busy being wrung dry by “life” to respond.

I have not, but I have it mentally bookmarked for when I’m in a better head space. Thank you for the suggestion.

I was okay that day, but lost it while reading The Shepherd’s Crown.

Even the undercarriage looks like it hasn’t fully loaded into the environment.

except for the AC compressor, which the generator actually would have had enough power to run, but not to kick-start.

This sentence triggered my PTSD. Imagine, if you will, a world where executives insist that datacenter AC be put on UPS battery. A world where those same executives declare that a different datacenter is just fine running at 95% power capacity because “it’s not 100%.” A world where inrush current does not exist. Except it does exist, but all professional advice is ignored until there are consequences. And even after such consequences are realized, one of those same executives still tries to run his home sump pump off of a desktop UPS during a power outage, pops it immediately, then goes and gets another from the office, which also pops immediately.

The sign in OP’s post will always be relevant somewhere.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hard relate to 1. But I actually have some relevant info for 3:

You’ll still get coup’d, but at least you’ll have a better understanding of why.
