Rhyno posted:You're ruining all my conceptions of CANADA. Canada is pretty rad for the most part (if you can handle the loving winters), it's just that if it weren't for the fact that they ruin people's lives with it, the RCMP is so comically corrupt and inept that you'd think they were part of a bad movie or something. This makes it all the more ironic that when many people around the world think of Canada, a Mountie in red serge is one of the first images that comes to mind.

meatpimp posted:VAG robot draws first blood. Ich habe ihn nicht ermorden! /  Also holy poo poo fjelltorsk I just skimmed your post before but now I sat down and read it in detail...wow, that's an ordeal, for sure. I know you must feel absolutely awful that one of your kids was hurt in the accident, but the way I see it (and the way you should see it too) is that you did pretty much everything right, and were it not for your prompt and decisive actions, things likely would have turned out a lot worse. Just remember that if you feel the need to talk it over, Dr. AI's office hours are 24/7.

Man I've been watching some of the Month of Zen - Comedy Central is showing all of the Daily Show episodes back-to-back - and all it's doing is making me feel really old. I remember all of this stuff (right now, from the summer of 2001) like it was yesterday.

Sick day today; spent last night puking my guts up and while I feel more or less OK now, I got about 30 minutes of sleep and are therefore not fit to fly.

Goddamnit, a water supply line burst on my dishwasher and damned nearly flooded me out of my place this morning. Fortunately I caught it right away, as I was doing dishes by hand at the time and was right beside the thing...had it happened ten minutes later I would have been on my way to work. Dodged a bullet there holy poo poo.BrokenKnucklez posted:Why must the DMV be the 7th ring of hell? They have got to find a way to automate this poo poo, or something. Its awful. I find it ironic that in the land of hot dogs, freedom and capitalism you still have government-provided vehicle registry services, while here in Communist Canada (or at least in pinko Alberta) we privatised our registry services. It takes all of five minutes to renew my driver's licence or pay my vehicle registration; not because they are faster or more efficient, but because there are figuratively a million registry offices around, there's never any line-ups.

Post mortem on the dishwasher incident this morning; I pulled it out and it looks like the coupling between the fastener and the braided stainless line came apart, and it wasn't stressed or kinked or anything. Easy to fix but that really shouldn't have happened. I mean isn't this the very thing that they pretty much banned PEX tubing for?

And in the case of Tapatalk I am not a member in enough forums for it to make sense in that respect. CharlesM posted:Do they sell shelf-stable / aseptic packaged milk in the U.S.?

He opened up the backseat to grab his bag, and he pointed to my backpacking gear and asked why I have a red bandanna tied to my backpack. I joked that it was my gang colors, and he said he was going to borrow it. It's not the first time a man has felt entitled to borrow some of my possessions without actually asking, and I'm sure it happens to the men here too, but it made me so mad. Hahaha you literally just dated King PUA of Player Island. Too bad he got what he had coming for him.

I love me some steak, but it's outrageously expensive these days. I just bought a bunch of AAA ribeyes (God's own cut IMO) for $35/kilogram. And don't even get me started on tenderloin prices; a whole one at Costco these days is like $150-180...a few years ago it would have been $90.  Rhyno posted:STAKE That's an awful thin steak there cowboy. At least you sort of cooked it the second best way; better still is to a) get a thicker steak, and b) cook it the same as you did, but at a much lower temperature, to get the Maillard reaction going real strong on the surface. Best way to cook steak though is sous vide, if you've got the gear. Holy poo poo I can't even begin to describe how awesome a sous-vide steak is.

poo poo 14", that's pretty bad. In fact it sounds like it's affecting you badly enough that you should consider seeking professional help for yourself. I mean, I'm no psychiatrist but it sounds an awful lot like you've got several of the major symptoms of depression. There's no shame in seeking help; in fact, I would personally call you a stronger person for doing so...it takes some serious guts and self-reflection to be able to sit down and say, "you know what, the way I'm feeling just isn't right, I need to fix what's wrong with me", and then not doing what most people do, which is self-medicate (either with booze or whatever else). This might sound awfully callous, but you've seen first-hand what happens when you let these things go without treatment. Don't be like that.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Not too much of a problem really - the content just takes a bit longer to go free. The difference here is that Harris and RCR are independents, whereas Roadkill is part of a pretty big media conglomerate. Pretty sure Patreon won't touch them. Of course Roadkill is so popular they could just go their own way with Patreon, but that would probably mean giving up their jobs at Hot Rod and I don't think either of them are keen on doing that.

So it's one of those unwritten rules that when you're at the gym and there's only one other person working out that they want to use the exact same piece of equipment as you do at that exact time, right? I mean I'll work in but I don't want to spend like five minutes waiting on the other guy to finish his set.
