The whole road while taking a dash pic at 70mph.

Called once to ask, they said go to urgent care.

Then billed me for a telehealth visit and also the Urgent Care billed me too.

This was a while back, so not the last time but probably one of my biggest wtfs.

Anyway, In Iraq, in a tower surrounded by sandbag and hesco walls. The night guard shifts kept pissing in bottles and tossing it over the walls instead of just pissing anywhere else or just throwing the piss bottles in the trash so at the change over the Sergeant of the Guard said that we had to make the guys getting relieved stand by because they’re gonna have to go clean all that up. Mind you this is outside of the wire in Iraq - not that it’s particularly dangerous but we were still getting bombed nightly. Anyway, I rock up to the tower and let them know to standby and the SOG rolls up behind me and tells them what’s up.

I kid you not, this dude looks at him and says “Can we at least downgrade our gear?” You could probably hear my laughter across the whole FOB. He just said “Can I take off my vest and helmet before I head out of the wire?”

I shouted down “I can cover you but that won’t stop any rounds that come your way,” and the SOG just said “What? No, fuck, are you kidding?”

Then I baked in the 100+°F sun while I watched adults pick up piss bottles in the desert.

You never watched Everybody Loves Raymond? Frank told the truth about… Most things at least. I just channel that.

You can have the worst day of you life and still have good vibes. The real toxic saying would be “good moods only.”

That’s why I prefer “to be frank” or “to be blunt.” Same implication but without that possibility.

I understood them all just fine… Still poor pacing. The first movie was basically half buildup for the second half’s continuous action. Two and three both suffered from the abrupt slow down after the action scenes that I personally feel never really got “better.”

I mean, I’ve got them all so I’m not going to pretend they’re as bad as other movies that we pretend didn’t get sequels but they just worse than the first one.

That said, I would regularly rewatch a cut that was just all the action scenes.

Imagine a neapolitan ice cream. You’ve got three flavors, strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. So you dig in and find out that it’s dyed shit. Pink shit, white shit, and… Brown shit. It’s all shit, right?

Kidding, the script and directing was the worst. Each individual actor could not be the worst because the writing and directing were all of them. All three flavors of shit.

He did perform it differently and it lacks everything that makes Kevin Hart a decent watch.

But, honestly, not the worst part of the movie.

Generative Fill isn’t a filter, the posters complaining about it were using AI tools to remove cars and other things from their photos and then getting butthurt when Adobe tattled on them in the meta data.

It wasn’t a case of tweaking the LUTs or changing exposure, they manipulated the photos using an AI tool and got upset when they got tagged out for it.

Right? I thought I went crazy when I got to “I just used Generative Fill!” Like, he didn’t just auto adjust the exposure and black levels! C’mon!

My office phone has a dial tone. It’s VOIP but when you pick up the receiver it BOOOOOOOPs… So I think it was last week I heard one…

Hopefully not for the last time…

You’re over here asking GPT about “secret scientific research groups” but wanna point out that it’s an English acronym? You could’ve asked Encyclopedia Britannica instead and gotten the right answer.

Secret scientific research groups? Lol. Anyone with a passing familiarity with government work knows about SOPs.

I’d classify a windbreaker as a jacket. All squares are rectangles and what not.

It’s down to the material. That looks like full cotton with a hood. So, sweatshirt. Hooded sweatshirt = Hoodie. Denim? Would’ve been a jacket. Some sort of wind blocking material like polyester or nylon would be a jacket. I might give jacket status to a multilayer cotton jacket with inner liners too.

Shoot man, you gotta think about it the other way. Show them a mobile game, show them the prices, then turn around and show them purchasing power.

For instance, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. Cute, aimed at kids, horrible leaf ticket practices. Broke down the pricing of one set and for the cost of ACNL and a 2DSXL - you’ve got something like a 0.8% chance of getting the whole set.

So, show that to a kid, do you want a 0.8% chance of having this set or a whole Game and System?

Granted, this was a while back - the price of those two together probably gets you a 2% chance these days.

Build your own drone. Don’t bother paying the DJI markup when you can get a full frame mirrorless on a bunch of wood with brushless motors attached.
