    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

I ordered Texadelphia through uber eats the other night as it was a crazy day for the convinced household.  Ordered queso, we received no queso.  I just received a notification from uber that they credited me $4.75 for the queso.  Bravo uber and thank you for resolving my issue relatively quickly.  Fuck you uber for not crediting me the sales tax as well.  I’m not going to go on a jihad over 35 cents, but if this is uber’s policy, they are stealing the sales tax on every incorrect order.  

"I ordered Texadelphia..."

Your first mistake.

I did some research as I have dreams of something similar. 

Yeah, it can be done, but you have to freight your vehicle essentially in Panama most commonly to Brazil, IIRC.

It is a big pain in the ass, and if you want to get it home, freight from the south to north again.

Pro tips I read are buy a vehicle specifically for the trip and sell it down there. Plan on the frieght time of 2-3 weeks, iirc.

Panama to Colombia, actually. Just through the Darien gap.

Not really making me surly (maybe to a degree) but definitley lulz-worthy.  I constantly get "funding" offers from the likes of SELECT FUNDING BUSINESS PLATINUM CARD with the handsome credit limit of $250,000.00 in the mail from the address shown in the link.

I'm sure the payment terms and interest rate is very low.  Maybe use the funds to throw a Surly party.  Since the business address is in Los Angeles, CA, I probably need to ge @Sbbruin or @Gil Bang to go check out the bona fides of this operation. 

I mean the place reeks of legit, right?

Bird/Lime scooters on the Town Lake trail. Someone is going to get wrecked by one of those things while jogging.

Ha, that place is about a mile from my office.  But hey, don't judge a book by its cover.

On a different note, but one all too common for everyone I'm guessing.

2-3 calls a day, everyday from "American Pharmacist" trying to sell me Viagra.

At least "George" (yorzt) from 'american pharmacy' is a real person.

 

You don't need viagra, you need Yak roin.  Good to keep the yang up.

It's usually only vaguely looks like them and no, I'm not impressed with your pop culture knowledge

Here's my "Full Surly" response. As a professional I don't respond to many emails if:

1. You've sent the email to 8 people. Who is it directed to? Do I need to contact all 8 people and find out who needs to do what? No. That's on you.

2. You've cc'd me. CC means FYI to me. Read, understand, then trash it.

3. You are spaming me. I get hundreds of emails per day wanting "to sit down and meet and discuss your cleaning needs/insurance/website. Fuck off.

I'll clarify.

Supposedly professional people who don't respond to individual emails directly related to their position and responsibilities, from another professional directly involved and/or dependent on those responsibilities and timely attention is required.

There's this trend now on tech and consumer "journalism" where they title articles and videos plainly and literally.  

 

e.g. "The Bose Sound Touch is a music system";  "The BMW i3 is a $40,000 electric vehicle"; "The shaggybevo is a website where retards post scatporn"

 

cmon...thats lazy as fuck

I much prefer that over, "You'll never believe the 5 simple things you can do to be a healthier you" or "The one thing in your house that could be killing you as we speak".  Literal media is leaps and bounds ahead of sensationalist, clickbait media.

That's buzzfeed spam - that's a step lower and not worthy of comparison.  These are supposed to be articles

and does anybody know why video games are now taking up more space than in the library of alexandria?

 

so i basically almost never play games, but wanted to dabble in a flightsim on PC..... 50 gigs.  Formula 1 on PC.... another 50 gigs.  X-Flight simulator... another 20-30 gigs or so.

I get that modern graphics are highly detailed and such, but 3 games and 1 operating system basically filling up an entire harddrive... what the fuck

I should have specified that my response wasn't directed at your post. You just reminded me of something that makes me surly.

Leaving a sticker of the brand of hat and/or the price tag on the hat while you wear it.  If you do this you look like an asshole.

Oh yeah, try buying a hat online that you think has the stickers, but it's actually FUCKING printed on the bill of the cap!

Olds at the work place who refuse to use skype or any other instant messagung app. They always want to corner you and yap your fucking ear off. 

Yeah fuck that talking face to face shit, soooooo over rated.

I assume you're still working at the same place you had been, MIA.  In that case, not surprising at all.  Having worked with the higher ups in the IT department there, you're lucky they have a working connection to your location, as well as workstations on something newer than Windows XP.

It think it's a response to the backlash of clickbait article titles. Yes, SPAM still uses the clickbait titles but it wasn't that long ago most media outlets were using them with regularity.

People who take off their socks on a flight. Shoes, I get it...but socks, no. Asians of Surly, tell your people to stop that shit.

Also, if this photo posts sideways, I don’t know what the fuck is going on.

If they(Asians) would stop climbing over me to get in and out of the window seat I would be happy.
