Well, I went from living near multiple vehicle production facilities that could quickly be converted to military equipment to living in one of the major shipping hubs in the Midwest which also hosts one of the big pharmacy companies.  And I’m only 14 minutes from downtown.  So I won’t get a choice.

Oh, I don’t need to calculate it. Milk went from $1.89/gal to $3.89/gal. So I know prices have effectively doubled.  Took me $53 to fill my gas tank from 1/4.  In February?  That would have cost me $28 at most.

This is why we need personal phasers. Just stun someone for a few minutes, they’ll get the point.

This doesn’t really work for anyone who could not (or did not) work in their 20s and early 30s. I graduated college into one of Michigan’s worst economies (at the time) with a degree in a hard science. I had no debt, but I also had no money to save. I worked a couple of crap jobs, got laid off, then was unemployed for…

Paint it in every color that exists, in 1 inch squares.  Challenge people to find the colors.  Charge them money to guess.

Do I watch HGTV shows? Yes. Do I think the renos can be done in timeframe quoted? Sometimes. (A reno that only touches three rooms, doesn’t majorly change the layout, only takes out a wall or two, and redoes the floor should only take 5 weeks without issues.) Do I expect that the stars are on site all day every day?…

I’ve gotten two separate emails from Sony themselves to buy a PS5.  Yes, I was concerned they were scams, but I did look into them, they were valid.  Probably because I have a PSN account and have a few games that are on PS5 as well as PS4?  Not sure.  I did not buy either time because I have other things to pay for. …

Yeah, it’s old. But it works. I’ve gone through 11 sets of ear buds (And the cheap ones I bought this last time are kind of crap, probably going to just toss them and order a better pair.) iTunes still syncs with it. Just hoping I’m suddenly going to have to carry my iPad Pro everywhere to listen to music.  And iTunes…

I still have my 5th Gen iPod.  So, does this mean in the next iTunes iteration they’re just going to yank support and get rid of them?  What will I use as a portable music player when I have to start going back into the office and need something to listen to when I’m not on the phone?

Follow HK-47's example, and refer to everyone as, “meatbags.”

State of IN has slightly different laws, notification is still min 24 hours for any requested work, otherwise it’s 48 hours. The lease says maintenance can only enter my apartment without my permission to complete “routine bi-yearly maintenance” or in an emergency. Otherwise I have to allow them in. I can reject their…

For years, I used production codes for car parts that I got from an old job at a plastics plant (That got bought out and changed all their reference codes). I also used BattleMech production codes. Now, most of the time I’ll grab two to three random words, separate them with symbols or numbers as required. Work…

Since I live in an apartment, and per my lease agreement I cannot bar maintenance access, I can’t use a random bar. Now, maintenance only comes when I ask them to, and then the twice yearly check for filter/detectors, etc. which they have to notify us at least a week out.

And a 6th, who knows the difference, but has to use the low-fat/sugar stuff for reasons.  I don’t buy Walmart syrup (I get it at Kroger) normally, but I have if needed.

That would require a budget increase, as most of our recent funding was put into things like COVID relief output, getting equipment for telework, etc. Yes, we’re hiring more, heck, every year we open spots for people to hire in. But people don’t want to work where they often get the bad side of people, even if we need…

As a note, starting on 04/01/2022, the interest rate for taxes owed goes up to 4% for non-corporations.

Just install a giant dome over your house.  Problem solved.

The problem is when they go flying out of the bed onto the highway. Then you have to stop, go get them, and waste time. It’s at least a $500 littering fine if you don’t.
