Payphones weren’t the only method of escaping the matrix though.

Doesn’t matter. Mac and cheese ain’t anything special.

That lions den has been closed for a while now. Probably since before the pandemic.

Ages ago bud light was doing rock paper scissors tournaments for promotions one summer. I was at a bar one night and won. Went to regionals, and in the semi-final I was up against a guy that only threw rock. Each round leading up, every single throw was rock.

I lost to him.

It’s between that and the hot dog for me. But I’m leaning pickle.

I’ve been using it for at least 15 years at this point, and my job relies on accurate forecasts.

I bet he was real pissed about overtime

I’ve been wrenching on cars nearly 30 years. I’ve had mechanical maintenance as part of my actual job for a decade now. Two years ago it all finally clicked for me. Clockwise tight, counterclockwise loose.

I don’t know

Slow horses back at the end of the month!

Do yourself a favor and watch the Ed Harris movie “Knightriders”. In my heart of hearts, it’s the source material for the entire show. And the ending is incredibly relevant.

I feel like the people should have some say in who they want governing them.

I was in my second week of basic training when 9/11 happened, so don’t give me shit about supporting oil companies.

I did my time. 15 months in baghdad in 03 and 04. Got hit with 13 IEDs, shot at nearly every day. You just don’t have a clue what you are talking about.

You’re embarrassing yourself.

Oh? The greatest credible threat to the world? Not saying that dropping two nukes on the country that invaded and raped or killed uncountable numbers of people is heroic, but without us and the lend lease, Europe was fucking done for.

Also, none of us say arse.

Thirdly, we fucking did save your ass in ww2. Also in ww1. I’m literally never the ugly American in public, I’ve had Turkish taxi drivers in German ask me why I want to go to the American army base because I’m so not that person.

But give credit where it’s due.

You’re right, it could be. But I don’t think I’ve seen to many people living out in the country with a privacy fence.

Or… Clean up your dog’s shit.

Hold the fucking phone bud. You can shit on America all you want, but don’t. Think you can shit on Americans all you want.

It was Americans that saved you all in ww2. We are mostly good and decent people.

But, I have never in my life seen raisins anywhere near Mac & cheese. I’ve never seen olives near it either.

The system works like this. You get credit for the overtime you work. The people with the least amount of worked overtime are at the top of the list, and the most are at the bottom.

When opportunities for overtime are offered, we work down the list starting with the people who have worked the least overtime.

If we go though the list twice, and the number of people requested to work isn’t fulfilled, whoever is at the top is then forced to work the overtime. And we do that until we have the people.

Because those people are shitty workers as it is, and no one wants them around anymore. And sometimes a cherry assignment for overtime comes around and everyone else wants it, but they get first dibs because of how our system works.
