I asked my local thai restaurant to "make it a little spicier than normal" because their normal is white suburban spicy and the chef gave me something so spicy it was inedible.

Like... Fuck you, you arent the only Thai restaraunt in town.

This is standard corporate tomfuckery.

You fire them first (probably illegally) wait for them to lawyer up and come after you in court, enter into negotiations to settle now that the employee is under financial pressure to accept.

An employee who suffers a serious injury on the job who might have ongoing life long medical expenses can be horrifically expensive to a company often wildly exceeding a negotiated settlement.

Its morally fucked but the company would rather cut the man a very large cheque and sever all ties than have the long term liability hanging over their heads. Sacking him first just puts a timer on it that the company can afford to wait out when the employee cant.

Yes, its still wrong.

And so much of what is available on BluRay makes no sense. 80s comedies? Sure. Tron Legacy? (You know, dumb but pretty) nope. Go fuck yourself.

On paper yes.

IMO in the international politics sphere the abject refusal to assist with the situation in Iran is a "Dont fucking push it, we're fed up with your crap" and his administration knows it.

Not to downplay womens sufferage and sexism (because it was wrong) but a substantial portion of straight white women act like they have had it every bit as bad as the truly persecuted and enslaved. Like sure, your great great grandmother didnt have the right to vote, while she was sipping lemonade on the verandah of the plantation while the people her husband owned worked the fields and cleaned the house.

You might not have been allowed to drive the car, but you got driven places you wanted to go in it.

I really enjoyed doing a Cain novel, then a Gaunts Ghosts novel, then a Cain novel and so on.

Quite quickly?

I would say with almost unseemly haste

Just a warning for those who dont know.

You can do permanent neurological damage by overdosing B6. It may sound hard to do but some energy drinks have several times your daily recommended intake and a lot of sports and fitness supplements put it in for no good reason. "Potentially hazardous" levels are defined as 1000% of your RDI over a prolonged period of time.

So if you have 2 white monsters, a multivitamin, a zinc/magnesium supplement and a rehydration tablet and you're there.

Or at least go full fucking Orwell with it and let me see the benefits.

Every fucking night someones shithead kids are out breaking into and stealing cars in my neighbourhood and every fucking day I have to dodge unregistered dirt bikes and unrestricted E-bikes on the roads just trying to go to work and do groceries like a regular boring asshole who has to obey all the fucking rules because if I beat the fuck out of the cunt in my driveway trying to get into my car and possibly steal it I'll catch charges and if I dont pay all the registration costs, insurances and drive exactly as I'm told the government will destroy my livelihood.

Do something about the brainless fucks that cant live in a society FIRST and maybe I'll complain less about the surveillance state.

If nobody has a monopoly on A.I and the market is too diffused then prices will be super low and the people will be able to use them to circumvent big tech.

I wonder how badly this would poison AI if we brought this back...

 

I realised today that I cannot actually remember the last time I felt relaxed. I'm so fucking tired.

 

The memes about it coming starting to pop up in mid october. Its one joke about the song being overplayed, the joke is never original, Ive never seen a creative version of it. If old people have "boomer humor" whats the short term for "Millenials without two brain cells to rub together who will share on any joke that they understand"

The song is well produced overplayed pandering pop garbage. The jokes about it suck more.

 

Ive been looking into what I can put together for the price I can get a Samsung q990f system for and this reciever seems to do everything I want and it has the benefit of being cheapish.

Essentially I want to watch 4k blurays on a 4k tv with good surround sound. I love the "one box, minimal wires, no legwork" nature of the Samsung. That has value to me. BUT its not quite as good and if something in the bar goes dead, the whole setup is pretty much garbage. So I'm exploring my options.

Second hand receivers that arent 15 years old are still demanding half of what that receiver costs me new, and it seems to have everything that someone setting up a budget 4k 5.1 home theater could want. So, thoughts?

 

Ok, I need an honest, no BS assessment on how a Samsung q990d system will compare to a cheap 5.1 (or 7.1 etc) system.

I can get a q990d for $1400aud which includes rear speakers and a sub. Will connest with the samsung tv and its all just ready to go out of the box.

Surround sound setups range from free to $40,000... of course a well thought out setup will be better but I just want to hear the cars overtaking me when I watch Ford Vs Ferarri.

For the "sub 2k" price bracket. As a novice, how much am I leaving on the table really?

 
 

You still look a bit of a dick, but so much less bad now.

 
 

17x7.5,, has a made in england stamping but no definitive stampings for pcd, offset or centerbore. Look like RS Cosworth wheels but arent. Has a retaining bolt hole for the flat bolt hole cover (which I'll post in another comment, which matches some 90s ford wheels) owner says they came off a Peugeot but my fellow french car enthusiasts say they definitely arent an OE Peugeot wheel.

 

Yes, Its a Nazi salute. I just didnt want to load the question.

 

 

If he was frozen at the very end of the 60s he spent 28 years frozen and was defrosted in 1997... which was 28 years ago this year.

Want to get a hint of what Austin went through being defrosted, go check out how poorly some of those jokes aged.
