STR posted:You guys ever get too close to a (literal) crow's nest? Do *NOT* gently caress with crows. Those little assholes are smart. We had a nest in one of last houses backyard one year that had babies. The stupid thing about crows, they kick their kids out of the nest *before* they can fly, so they spend 1-2 days on the ground. Well my wife let our wiener dog out into the yard to go pee one morning, and she comes back with a baby crow in her mouth while being divebombed by the parents. Luckily my dog is too dumb to know what to do with something she actually caught and didn't hurt the crow. My wife or dog couldn't go into our backyard without being aggressively divebombed by crows for about a week. Then, probably for the next month, they would follow us when we walked to the bar. We had to bribe them with cereal and crackers to make peace with them. The following spring the baby fell just on the other side of our fence. I figured that out when I went to take out the garbage and got divebombed, then saw the little crow hiding behind our garbage can. We just kept throwing crackers out into our yard and they were fine with us. AND THEY REMEMBER FACES AND TELL EACH OTHER slothrop posted:I just saw Portugal. The Man. Yes they play that one song you've heard too many times Feel it Still but let me assure you they play many other great songs! Honestly one of the better shows I've seen. Holy poo poo, I haven't thought about that band in years. I spent many hours listening to their first couple songs on loop after eating way too many mushrooms back in ~2005ish(some of those years are a bit of a blur...). I wish I still had those files somewhere, I think they had different versions of them on their first album, but the originals were "more trippy" sounding. I know thats a stupid description, but its the only way I can describe it.

Fuckers tried to get a piece of my hair, thankfully it was tied back (they caught it ahead of the hair band, so I just felt the tug instead of them actually yanking any out). I don't think I've run that fast in at least 5 years.

So much doing this to "prove" whatever (prove my car's the best, prove to my kids I can do this, prove to my dead buddy up in heaven, prove girls can drive too). Watching the trailer for it I decided it looked too fake to be worth watching. Turns out I was right.

Just spent three hours driving a Ford Transit van on the first leg of a road trip. I think I'd get one of these instead of a minivan, honestly. The amount of room is nice and the ride is actually halfway decent.

Wife called me at work. Our son decided to hide instead of doing his homework. When you live on 5 acres with 10 buildings, this is a problem. I came home and found him locked in our shop with both sets of keys watching youtube. Needless to say, I'm having a long day.

As a teacher, it's stupid. Parents request it, and I still don't give much, if any. So many studies show that the social time at home with family is way more beneficial than repeated work at home.

He's 10 and definitely at the hour in-hour out phase. We have to spend an hour to get an hour. I was just thinking last week I was going to find him out there sooner or later. We've been pretty strict with electronics, but he's always found ways to get around it. Waking up at 5AM to watch TV, grabbing my old kindle and downloading youtube, and just last week finding the only unlocked laptop in the house + staying up all night watching youtube. I'm torn between finding a schedule that works (the smart idea) or just blocking all devices on our firewall.

BraveUlysses posted:drat, how much $ of receipts did you submit? I don't remember and can't find what I submitted. I think it was for the 44" tool cabinet, the top box for that, and maybe a floor jack. Not a ton of money but all items that have really inflated 'regular' prices. Fortunately I kept the receipts. Unfortunately I found one more receipt a little after I submitted my claim when it was too late to add it. lawsuit posted:OPTION A. Customers who have itemized Harbor Freight receipts reflecting one or more purchases between April 8, 2011 and December 15, 2016 with a “you saved” amount reflected on their receipts can submit copies of those receipts and elect to receive either 20% in cash, or 30% in a Harbor Freight gift card, of the total “you saved” amount listed on their receipts, excluding any amounts reflecting free items or items that were later returned.

Probably hardest but most rewarding to set a schedule and enforce it via timed lockouts on the router. And lock up the router.

I'm going to setup a second SSID and lock the TV's to it. With Ubiquiti gear you can set a schedule for the SSID. Should be decent at stopping 80% of it. The watching schedule bit seems to be the hardest for him. But we'll work on it.

The Nuke From Orbit method works sometimes, I'll ground my son from everything but reading books for awhile and he will get the message eventually. And he HATES getting grounded from playing with his buddies on the weekend, that's my ace in the hole

Wife and I spent the whole day together. She's going to Africa this month so she had to get her fuckin shots and we had to drive two hours for the major one. Fuckin Indiana. But we got Fondu and stopped at IKEA so that was also nice. And we decided to stay in our current apartment instead of moving to the bigger unit in August. She's letting me move all my nerd crap out of the den (that has no door) into the second bedroom where it will be safe and hidden from cats and children of friends. Part of the compromise means she doesn't want me buying another car until we either move or I sell 1 of the current ones and promise to sell the other afterwards. I can live with that.

loving amazon sending me used poo poo gently caress you gently caress you. Joke's on you the item they sent me has a fixed-life expensive flash bulb in it so I used it (too, because it's used) and then returned it to the locker three hours later. loving Amazon. On the flipside, I sold a few small things on ebay. So, before I returned the thing to the locker, I packaged the items and filled my backpack with all of the boxes, and made it a 5-mile loop from apartment to post office to amazon locker back to apartment. Just four years ago I used to go on 50-60 mile all-evening rides (I'm slow, but like to keep a steady rhythm and just knock out miles, even though 60 miles is nothing compared to loving CI and others in this thread holy poo poo), but just these 5 miles killed me. Gotta get my sit bones back into shape, and also this is my first bike with drop bars. I've got the position right, I think (leg straight at bottom of crank, I'm not reaching for the hoods), but at my weight I put a lot of extra weight on my wrists and forearms so that'll take a bit to fix. Also realized that, even with traffic and lights, I can get to my school in like 4 minutes

spog posted:I think Deadpool is basically Ryan Reynolds. Both the character and the movie-making process. Reynolds from what I know of is a legit big fan of Deadpool and it's pretty much mostly his persistence the first Deadpool got made - he was not happy with what Fox did to Deadpool in Wolverine. But yes, just like Iron Man is basically real life RDJ and Thor has become Chris Hemsworth, Deadpool is pretty much Ryan Reynolds.

had some good instant karma this morning, left my house at 5am and got on the highway with a highway patrolman in a suburban/denali next to me, stuck to the speed limit and he slowly pulled ahead of me since i'm not gonna try to pass a cop i notice that i'm being tailgated a bit by some shithead in a vw beetle so i swing over to the right lane and he floors it, passes the cop and i see the cop start to speed up and boom, gets pulled over. then i realize it's the same shithead car i saw yesterday morning blowing through a few stopsigns in my neighborhood at about the same time in the morning  gently caress that guy

Speaking of blowing through stopsigns, does it actually help to call the cops if you see someone run a stopsign and manage to get their plate number? I see plenty of that poo poo but I've never known if it's even worth the trouble of reporting it.

Yeah I mean it's not like I expect Albuquerque Police Department to roll up and try to analyze tire residue or some poo poo, but I have a vague memory of hearing that some PDs will, like, enter it as a note so if he ever gets busted for reckless driving the cops or the court have that as some sort of documentation of previous behavior.slidebite posted:Just a rolling stop and nothing else?
