  • When I find myself remembering one awkward thing, I know chances are good I’ll remember the others…

    So a trick I’ve found is that when I remember one thing I purposefully recall the others, since it’s not a ‘surprise’ it won’t be so bad. As I remember them, I misremember them intentionally so that they’re less embarrassing. This works for some insane reason.

    Don’t know if it’ll work for everyone, but give it ago next time your blooper reel kicks off!



  • Another tip for IT folk out there.

    When offering a user a laptop bag, don’t ask them if they want a laptop bag. Ask them what color laptop bag they’d like.

    When I started doing this acceptance of laptop bags went from 50% to 100%.

    You’ll have to stock a variety of colors, but it’s a small price to pay to encourage the use of laptop bags.


  • I’ve done maybe a dozen or so?

    It’s just a normal date, but you’re trying to get a feel for the person to see if there is any chemistry for the first time.

    I’ve had dates where the next day the lady ghosts me. I’ve had dates where the next day the lady says she wants to have my baby. I’ve had dates where we both kinda mutually think that a second date isn’t in gonna happen.

    Took a quick look and it appears a group of people wanted to shoot a live action series with similar trappings as the OP picture. They did a kickstarter for 5k and were unable to deliver on that budget.

    This is from 30 seconds of research, so grain of salt and all that.











  • I have our bobtail trained to attack on a very specific whistle command.

    Whenever I do the whistle she comes a running doing her little chirps looking for shit to kill. I point and she attacks. She’s pretty terrible at it.

    She and her sister from another mister will also corner stink bugs and keep them locked down until my wife or I notice and I dispose of it.

    On US nutritional labels fats, carbs, and proteins are listed in grams, but we generally measure everything in pounds.

    When calculating your macro nutrition for weight gain the general recommendation comes out to about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. This is just a coincidence, but makes finding out how much protein you need to gain muscle mass pretty easy if you know how much you weigh and given that all of our labels have that info in grams.




  • hoho

    I had just figured out how to fix a bug that broke our in house reminder system. My smug ass put hoho as the commit message for figuring something out that the previous guy couldn’t. Of course it came back to bite me in the ass THIS WEEK when the system broke again in a similar fashion, but I couldn’t remember what I had done.
