Even more apt since the linked article was written by a dude named “Thorin”.

The only reason I really got a Google Home was because the people in my family refuse to turn off lights before leaving a room. Even with LED bulbs I felt like the cost to run the ‘smart’ stuff would generally outweigh the electricity used for all the bulbs (save for the closet, but replacing that light is a PITA). …

In this case, he neither quit nor resigned. He was fired.

Ended up having a massive sinus infection and bronchitis. So for a couple weeks there. CRAPPY.

I’d like to hear how this plays out if the guy pursues it. This particular dude’s ability to save/predict the outcome aside, it’s shady AF for the company to say he’s fired and then manage to stop him from getting his benefits two months later.

You’re right that people should have more than two months of funds standing by in case of emergency. Unfortunately for most people that isn’t a thing. But depending on the state, you may not be getting much in the way of benefits at all. Generally it’s still only a percent of what you made in the last 6-12 months as…

Wanna say it was this dude. I looked up Angel of Death and she didn’t look familiar.

Really enjoyed Skies (GCN). Never actually finished it. I ran into some optional superboss that destroyed me every time. I started grinding to see if I could beat the dude, but I ended up getting a new job or moving or both. Wouldn’t mind jumping back on it.

Sega has tried to make Sonic work in 3D over a dozen times. Lots of people say that the first one or two were good. I thought they were boring, but I’ve never been a staunch Sega it Sonic fan. Sonic just doesn’t work in 3D. All the games suffer from “poor level design”, “bad camera control”, and “bad controls”. The…

TBH, it’s all about that cumin. That’s the most distinct flavor in those packets.  The rest is just support.  I specifically do not salt my mix, though, and no one has noticed its lack due to the onion and a bit of extra cumin.

The official policy at my work is to split travel between as many avenues as possible. So if my whole team needs to fly to a conference we need to be on at least 3 different flights to get to the same place.

All the recipes sounded... well, gross. So I opted to be constructive since I felt I might have something to add.

I once ate “cumin shortbread” cookies.  They were nasty.

I would go so far as to say “Don’t buy taco seasoning” because it’s super easy to make on your own, and you don’t need a handful of salt to get that flavor.

Q: Why do babies wear sweaters?
A: Because their mom’s are cold.

I’d love to get out and run as much as my body will allow. But it had other plans, and forced me to have a sinus infection that required steroids and antibiotics...

I had PF off and on for a few years. It would sorta show up for a few months, I’d settle down a bit, and it’d fade out. Then one day I was feeling the PF a bit, and drove the family to the store. Stepped out of the car, and bam, glass shards dipped in acid wielding tiny razor blades. After a few days it didn’t go…

Even at idle, I’ve never seen a well running engine drown from a flooded exhaust system. Water will often make it's way into the muffler, but it burns out pretty quick

I spent a significant portion of the last 15 years in Duluth. Even going to Canal Park is a hard sell for me. Almost everything on those two roads is overrated, overpriced and overtaxed. Yes, even Canal Park Brewing (though I heard they have a new chef, so maybe they got better again). Not saying I won’t give Hoop a…

That’s definitely going on the list next time I’m back up in Minneapolis. We generally end up at Surly, but their food is getting far too hipster and it’s not as good as it was in the first year or two they moved to the East side.  Still my 2nd favorite brewery for beer of all time, though. (Bent Paddle, FTW)

I was kinda hoping to see Austin on the list. My cancellation rate for Austin is > 66%.
