Not sure if your hyperventilating was caused by Heathcliff without Heathcliff. I recommend taking two HAM and checking in the morning.

Definitely. At the last corporate job I had I was told at the very beginning of the interview that I was overqualified and that the only reason I was there was because their trainer (a former coworker of mine) said they had to interview me.

I got the job. I was thinking about quitting when they fired me because I didn’t park my car on the property because I was following the rules.

I was thinking about quitting because the place was a total mess. The first clue was during the interview they warned me they didn’t have KPIs at this call center job. When I actually started working I noticed that I had no one person to report to, massive inefficiencies, I could have spent a day or two creating from scratch their much needed IVR and that after three months on the phone not one person I started with had had a review of any kind. I had 20 years of call center experience and 20 years of Linux administration and I was fighting back every urge to rearrange the furniture because this major company was a complete shit show. I was over qualified. I should have never taken the job. They should have never hired me.

I haven’t seen the data on all but the nonstick is trash in a way that shows zero potential for their other stuff. Crap materials, uneven heating, etc. The very worst in almost every category.

Yeah they would be the worst possible introduction to Mr True. It’s like hearing Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen and expecting the rest of what they do to be Rockabilly.

We can add Made In pans to this.

I’m really enjoying these. They show that he isn’t just about beating anybody up but he actually has a code that he lives by. If he beats up everyone, he’s just 1980s Heathcliff. By offering these counter examples, we see a much more complex person.

I made the 33 mile trek to Agri Supply today for new pants now that I can’t take the 5 mile trek to Tractor Supply. I can get most of my farm supplies from other places* but chicks and medications will be harder to source.

• I mostly do that already. But I have a local feed and seed half a mile away. But clothing was something that TS was better for.

It’s amazing. I highly recommend it. 5-11 Tactical occasionally offers a very light weight utility kilt at a really decent price. Utilikilts makes a much heavier one that I like too. Both are high quality materials that last forever.

Where a skirt, like real man. No one will care about your knees.

Call it a kilt if it makes you feel better. As a person with seven kilts I have no problem correcting people to tell them that’s a skirt if it makes things awkward.

And time served. Guilty but free.

I keep meaning to talk to Peter Gallagher about why he does that but I haven’t had a chance. I have a feeling. He just thinks that it needs a cat. Though I do think the helmets add something.

I didn’t know this was a thing. I’ve never lost a single spoke. But then I buy cheap stuff that isn’t hyper engineered to the tightest specs.

I’m constantly surprised at how many people upvote my Heathcliff without Heathcliff edits. It’s the most derivative project I’ve ever done and that anyone pays attention is kinda amazing.

There is no way the incumbents weren’t going to win. All it does is show the incumbents that they aren’t as secure as they think.

The good news is that there is another single gay man out there for you. Several hundred to thousands depending on your area. Single straight men don’t have that going for them so you have the advantage here.

Go through all your hobbies. Find every meetup related to them within an hour of your location. Attend them. Have fun doing what you are doing. Maybe you meet someone, maybe you don’t, maybe you meet people that help you meet people. Either way you are out and doing the things you like and that’s better for your mental health. It’s win-win.

I’m feeling a little called out right now. I have a similarly chicken proof raised bed area. The grass grows taller than the plants and I have to get in and mow it. One day I found some 1x2 ft tiles on a curb. I have to put those down to kind of help control the grass but it’s not helping. I feel like I need to gravel the whole area because we get so much water.

On Ben Shapiro’s show today he referenced this this as a “so called debunked video”. Because, you know, he has no integrity.

This was definitely worth the watch. But I feel like the self promotion and app advertisement at the end detracted from the whole thing.

I was thinking boot from a different media and access the file system. But the moment I saw Steve Gibson had a different way I felt like my option was stupid. That is the power of Steve Gibson.

Swamp creatures lives matter. Make swamp creatures great again.
