Those were cool. I can’t remember which museum in Chicago it was, either the Field Museum or the Museum of Science and Industry, probably the former, but they had human corpses sliced into thin strips and enclosed between panes of glass so you could see the same thing for real. Very interesting but kind of creepy.

When I was about 6 or 7 years old I used to dare myself to touch the closeup pictures of big hairy spiders in the World Book.

    The day I retired I set an auto reply that said something like "As of EOB today I will be retired.  If you expect me to reply to an email after 10:00 am today, you will be disappointed."  At the 3:00

Freakin Achilles tendon. All set for a good run in Cowtown marathon today. Feeling great overall, strong and light. But my Achilles has been nagging me for a couple of months. I ran the little 5k warmup yesterday and the Achilles flared up last night. Got out to he starting line today and knew it was really jacked. Ran 1/2 mile and then just walked off the course. Only my second DNF.

So now institutions are getting lazy and making you go look up and print out your 1099s. Well fine, I got a couple of bank ones myself but this one out of Canada didn't send their 1099 and I don't know how to get into their shit to even look for it. So fuck you Manulife, I did my taxes without your 10 or 15 dollars earnings after paying Canadian tax. I wanted to get my taxes out of the way so I ain't waiting on your lazy asses to send it in March.

This is my second year Turbo taxing after years of CPA use so I guess I'm gonna get audited for fucking things up even though they are minor dip shitty things. Fuck you assholes that make this whole process harder than it needs to be.

The pop-up vent is not new, and maybe not of Euro origin.
We recently bought and renovated a 1982 lake house in ETX. The kitchen had a Jennair cooktop in the kitchen island that had a pop-up vent like the one above. Seems like a decent idea because you don’t have the big range hood in the middle of the kitchen. 
Well, it’s a terrible idea. The vent went into a conduit under the kitchen floor, venting out into the flower garden outside the kitchen. Over time, that became a nice superhighway for critters to come in, nest in the island’s nooks and crannies, and colonize the rest of the house. When we tore that island out during the renovation, it was a mess of mice/rats nests, and there were several others in the recesses of the other kitchen cabinets. 
We built a bigger island, put in a new propane cooktop, and a proper overhead range hood. No more critters.

Certain people in my company who use the word “human” instead of saying “person” like a normal person.

I was in a meeting where the project manager said blah blah human blah blah. I told her that if we’re going to be working together for the next 10 months, then it needs to stop right now.

It stopped the room for a little bit, but she said person instead of human for the rest of the meeting.

Yes I’m old and crotchety, and very likely not up to date with the latest PC, gender neutral, LBGTQ language, but the whole “human” thing needs to be nipped in the bud.

CSB A few years back, we were subs to one of the Big 6 (that's how long ago it was) and their female PM objected to us using phrases like man or men in the documentation.  Neither could we use woman or women, because those words have man or men in them.  I almost took her seriously until she said we couldn't use person either, because there is 'son' in person and that's masculine.  Then I just ignored her.

had a meeting today and counterpart said he wanted to implement safety board where each site would keep track of their accident/ injury free days.

I said that process doesn't drive safety culture, but rather encourages folks to not report safety incidents.

Dead silence in the room.

Fuck it.  Y'all know why the fuck y'all favor that shit, and it's wrong.

So true, and it's legally mandated to display in Thailand for mfg and construction sites. It's awful.

Thailand construction "safety" just last month - this may be one of the highest profile construction sites currently operating in the city.

https://thethaiger.com/news/national/3-workers-killed-in-structure-collapse-at-one-bangkok-construction-site

 3 dead 4 injured. Accident was not reported until the next day when people started asking where the missing people were.

Not publicized on any mainstream news. The official report will find no fault, because the construction companies are always partially owned by powerful politicians.

I see she doesn’t donate to the Human Fund.

The DuckDuckGo mobile browser works pretty well. But some sites won’t let you browse using anonymous browsers or incognito mode (YouTube, for example).

Several weeks ago I get a call from AT&T offering me a new phone to replace my 3G phone. I explain to them I have a 4G LTE phone and they say no worries, everything will be alright. They kill 3G and my phone dies, "Oh, you mean your specific phone not bought through AT&T? Yeah, that's shit." So I order a new free Samsung through AT&T online... Yeah that will ship sometime in the next 45 days. Believe it or not, I can't fucking wait 45 days for a functional phone so I drive 30 miles to the closest AT&T store and sur-fucking-prize they have the exact phone I had to wait 45 days for online.

AT&T stores are fuckin weird. Last time I was at one they asked for my ID and then wanted me to pay $50 today and the rest of the balance of the phone a week later. Told them I wasn't going to show ID for a phone and they wouldn't let me pay full price for it. Well fuck it, went to Best Buy across the street and got the phone with no problem.

Walking tacos aren't Frito pies.  They are two completely separate things.

A walking taco is a bag of Doritos with appropriately seasoned protein, lettuce, salsa, cheese, sour cream, whatever the fuck you want all ground together and eaten with a fork.  There's no chili involved, and you don't use Fritos.
