"I work hard and play harder"

Yeah. Two different ways.

1) Daily/Weekly stuff like match the socks, take out the trash, and a few other things. We got an allowance. If we didn't do the chore we got a "strike". If we got 3 strikes we lost 1/4 of our allowance. 3 more we lost half. 3 more we lost it all. 3 more we were grounded.

2) The other way we earned money, and it was kind of fun... He had a lot of big jobs. For example: clean out the gutters or take his old comic collection and bag and board them for him, also make a list of what issues he has... things like that. We "bid" on the projects we wanted. For example I would say I'll clean the gutters for 20 bucks. My brother might say he would do it for 30. My other brother might say he would do it for 15. Brother number 3 got the job and the money when he completed it. My did this once a year.

Yes. It was embarassing af.

I work in a small office. There's like 6 or 7 guys all that share a one toilet bathroom. Not even a urinal. I took a gamble on a fart after being sick for a bit. I thought I was better. I lost the bet.

I went out of the bathroom after cleaning as much as I could, but it was pretty bad. It stained my jeans I was wearing bad. Walked into the bosses office and said "i shit myself, I'm going home." He laughed and said okay. They made fun of me for a few days but that was it.

How many copies did they have on sale?

Not impressive if it's 5. Super duper impressive if it's a couple hundred.

It's the hottest book on Amazon.com.

It is. But I've seen this article posted a few places, like Reddit. And it's supposed to be some big deal about how one store sold all their copies. I haven't seen where they said how many copies they sold yet.

But yes, this book will sell a ton of copies. I'm just not sure why they are pointing to this one store with no details on why it's an impressive feat.

Amazon sells more books than any retailer in the U.S., I'm fairly certain.

They probably do. But why is the story about some random book shop and not the fact it's number 1 on Amazon.

Best place to grind towards end game is the dinosaur forest.

Keep 2 or 3 elixers and don't use them. You can bet them at the coliseum and after a couple battles you will get an experience egg. It's nice to have 4 of them. Only need 2 if you get the item that restores your HP as you walk. (Titanbar or something)

The program looks like this:

That's pretty dope- are the blueprints designed at all with the software in mind, or is it entirely on your end to get it to function properly within the software?

Not really designed with that in mind. Most places don't deal with 150 page thick, 42 inch long paper, blueprints anymore. Most of it is sent in PDF copies. I have hundreds of gigs on my PC of just blueprints of jobs I did work on. There's boring jobs (hotels) and there's fun ones to mess on (literally had to sign an NDA with the federal government)

The programs aren't advanced enough to go to a print and say okay this room is 15x12 or whatever. I have to click the outline of the room with the blueprints as a background. It's kind of like a paint by number.

There's a lot of jobs in the world that would never cross my mind as necessary but totally are. How'd you get into that?

I knew someone that worked here. That part didn't get me the job though, just an interview. The main requirement that they were looking for is the ability to pick up and learn the estimating software.

The program looks like this:



I take the blueprint PDF's and put them in the program. So instead of the designs seen in the picture above it would look like actual blueprints.



It's a little more complicated than my explanation but it's the basics.

I do mine for a commercial flooring company.

Project Estimator:

Take blueprints from a job and read them. Figure out what floor coverings they want on the job and figure out how much they need and what it costs to do it. My number is turned into a company who is running the job (General Contractor) and hopefully we get the job through them based on my numbers.

It's 90 percent done on a computer.

The other 10 percent of my job is doing changes that the architect wants, or telling our installers how the 150 foot roll of carpet should be cut and installed... stuff like that.

I do ceramic wall and floor tile, carpet (roll and tile), LVT, VCT, sheet vinyl, etc.

It's a lot of math, but the computer does a lot of the harder stuff for me.

The Scourge

Basically it's knights and swords and armor and medieval England but with zombies.

From a website I found:

A mysterious plague descends upon 14th century England, ravaging the country and trapping the souls of the afflicted in eternal madness. The feudal hierarchy--and even the church itself-- slowly crumbles as the dead rise to feed and the living seek whatever shelter they can. The bishops of England call for calm and obedience, but one man isnt listening.

Sir Edward of Bodiam has been separated from the woman he loves and nothing on heaven or earth can stop him from seeking her out.

Edward and two of his knights travel through the swiftly changing landscape of England, a countryside now overrun by the minions of hell. The knights encounter madness, violence, and sorrow, but Edward fights his way ever deeper into the thickening darkness of unholy terror.

Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles are pretty good -- there's a little bit of "good and evil" aspect to it, but I like his prose, and there's quite a bit of character building that I enjoyed. First book is called Name of the Wind. Fair warning though, it's unfinished -- only the first two books of the (planned) trilogy are released.

Read the two books twice so far. The part where he hangs with that chick and all he does is bang is realllllllly boring.

I'm going to have to look into this more. I refuse to believe that in a country where you can be arrested for throwing a snowball at someone it's legal to throw snow on a car. If one tiny pebble scratches their car they can sue you for damage.

It sure as hell might be illegal but so is jaywalking

...You don't have a right to do something that is illegal.

still think this is some BS, they deserve the spot if they remove the snow/ice from the area they choose provided they only park 1 car.

It's a public road. I (or anyone else driving that road) pay taxes to keep that road maintained etc. I have every right to park there.

You're right, but you also have to admit it's a dick move. I wouldn't take a clean spot I didn't shovel in a city just for fear of my car being key'd or worse.

It absolutely is a dick move.

Thats true. And the person who cleared that spot has every right to cover your car with snow

They actually don't.

But either way, I'm glad they shoveled it and threw it away when they were shoveling my new parking spot.

That's stupid. So someone isn't allowed to shovel his parking spot clean and have someone else save it until he gets the car to park it there? Yeah people are going to steal each others parking spot and end up in fights or worse.

If his car wasn't in the spot to begin with why is he shoveling?

It's to prevent people from shoveling out their car, putting a parking cone or chair or any number of ridiculous things in it to "save" it while they are at work or whatever.

To make parking easier.
And oh, I thought it was saving it for a few minutes.. People actually save spots for whole days? Yeah fuck that.
People are still going to get their cars keyed over this though. Glad I don't live there.

It's kind of crazy.

I have seen TadG30 though. They are the same person.

Strike Gently recently made an account with Paul Walker in the user name. He then made up a story about trying to go on a date with a customer at his workplace and got a lot of CE to give him advice on how to ask her on a date and have it go successfully. For like two or 3 weeks people were giving him advice on how to ask her out, what to do on the first few dates, what to text, etc. But it eventually came out that it was all a sham.

That was like in November

I must have missed that. Totally not surprised.

Cartersville police said officers responded to a call of apparent gunshots fired early Sunday morning and something led them to believe that party goers had drugs on them.

I have a feeling if someone tells the cops who was shooting off a gun the pot charges will go away.

"Im very sorry it happened, all of us are innocent it's just not right," she said.

....obviously you aren't all innocent.

a news release sent to Channel 2 Action News on Tuesday, police said they obtained a warrant and found two stolen guns, marijuana individually packaged and several smoking devices throughout most of the first-floor rooms. Individually packaged suspected cocaine and cocaine-related paraphernalia were also located upon initial contact

You're right. Innocent. All of you.

That being said: I do find it odd they aren't breaking down your door to take you back to face these charges. If it really was something sexual with a kid (not saying it is) they wouldn't mess around with that. You would be there for trial ASAP.
