I think I unwrapped my blood donation bandage at least an hour too soon O_O
about 4 months ago from web-
@adiwan Maybe you could organize a blood drive at work? I've had a couple of jobs where they had them fairly regularly.
-
@scribus There is no need to. There are basically weekly blood donations all around town. The thing is that I'm always too tired to get to them.
-
@adiwan Yeah, that's why I was thinking of integrating it into the regular day like that.

Hot baths (above body temperature) feel good when sitting inside the bathtub but feel awful when getting out of the tub. My whole circulation system of my body is then out of whack and I feel sickly numb and real sweaty. I get it that it's a very fever-like reaction but damn it is not on my mind when sitting relaxed in the tub.

My final boss in Lost Judgment is Poker. I'm in a chain of side missions that need me to win in Poker (Texas Holdem). Sad thing is that I get always the worst cards and have not even got a dumb pair in 20 games.
about 5 months ago from web-
@adiwan good that I had only to win once. Poker sucks so much. I swear I will throw the towel if I have to play a game of Shogi or Mahjong in a side story.

@scribus AFAIK there is no Go in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series. There are other equally unappealing games like Koi-Koi, Oicho-Kabu, and Hanafuda.

Car explodes at US-Canada border. All major media reports that it was a Palestinian terrorist. FBI investigates. No explosives, no terrorists, not even a Palestinian guy, just some dude that lost control of his car and burst into flames on impact. Only text retractions on the original articles, no on-air retractions. Love the media in this country.

I’ve been carrying foreign currency in my wallet for a bit too long but you have to actually go to the airport to exchange it so it stays with me
about 5 months ago from web-
@zeldatra I see currency exchange booths at the mall, but it is the mall right by the international airport so it's really not that much less hassle :-/

@scribus I will simply wait to get mugged in DC on Friday and it will be off my hands then

Today was the day of the bomb disarming. They found a second bomb nearby and disarmed it as well. Nothing happened except for stupid people who were entering the evacuation zone. It happened a few times and delayed the whole operation. People who are caught in the evacuation zone (also in their apartments hiding) get a fine of up to 5000€.
about 5 months ago from web-
@adiwan Looks like you've had more practice cleaning up your post-war cities. Or maybe it's just the legendary German efficiency.
-
@scribus It took about 4 hours to evacuate about 5000 people out of the area. Then it took another 3 hours to get rid of the bombs including interruptions.
The legendary German efficiency is more a legend now. Living here you'll see that there is a lot left on the table when it comes to efficiency. The biggest and most visible joke are the trains that are always late or don't work when there is any kind of weather.

I’m about to be the only member of my family left in Virginia so I’d been looking into finally making the move to LA. Then I saw that an interstate over there had to close indefinitely because the ground caught on fire and all ten lanes were unusable. California is really trying its best to seem unlivable.

Knew I was in for a fun time with this new transfer when I asked which store she came from and she replied “that’s personal information I’m not answering that”
about 6 months ago from web-
@scribus update on this: apparently she had somewhat successfully lied her way into the position she was in. She’d been hired as a deli clerk and was transferred to my store after basically becoming to much for the previous store to handle (thanks for that, guys!). Then when she got here she concocted this plan to basically act like she’d been promoted with the hopes that we’d give her the pay of an assistant manager for at least a while before we found out. Her refusal to answer most of my questions was because she didn’t want me finding holes in the story, like her refusal to tell me what store she came from was to stop me from contacting her previous manager and finding out that she was just a deli clerk - before the whole thing went down I had already figured out what store she was from because… it was listed under her file, which I genuinely can’t believe she didn’t think I would check. Before I was able to ask the manager there about her though, she’d already been fired.

Got the new Cities Skylines, fun times fun times! Got a weird fixation on a six-sided grid as opposed to the regular right angles and all. It's obsessive, I can't stop. It's like some kind of curse. Or maybe even a hex!
about 6 months ago from web-
@scribus I have hundreds of hours in the first one and the second one is driving me absolutely insane because of how much more in-depth it is, I can’t approach things the way I did in the first game because the first game didn’t have apple like air pollution, so now I gotta not put my factories upwind of a suburb. This is a good thing, I get sort of complacent in how I game, it just surprised me how much the game tries to kick old players’ asses in some regards.
-
@zeldatra I spent half an hour relocating a water pump and even the road leading up to it, trying to get better than 10% efficiency. Then I found out that it actually needs to be fully staffed to be fully functional :o

@scribus Virginia. Kentucky. Louisiana. Only three states in the entire country where this is an annual thing. Can you imagine the junk mail volume? It’s a lot.

Dodged some trick-or-treat-ers by having all my blinds down. Also it is slightly raining, so they weren't eager to try. Maybe next year I'll craft an auto-candy-dispenser. I have enough micro controllers.

the kosher section of the store is expanding into the halal section and it’s causing some problems
about 6 months ago from web-
@scribus true story: the fact that my store only has a kosher SECTION, rather than a kosher AISLE, resulted in me being called an antisemite by some elderly Jewish lady, like a) I was the one who decided this, and b) the section wasn’t as large or larger than the halal, latino, Italian, Japanese, German, etc sections on the same aisle

cherryin hate being my own audio engineer, can we crowdfund a studio for me just so i can pay a different guy to set this up for me

Which is to say, the pilot tries its best to be a black comedy, but every dark joke has to be a) only about as dark as what you’d see on Cartoon Network at 6pm on a weekday, and b) they have to counter balance it with wacky game jokez 4 kidz and meta commentary. It gets in its own way a LOT so by the time we got to the obligatory 2001: A Space Odyssey spoof about twenty minutes in I was fully checked out.
about 6 months ago from web-
@zeldatra Yeah, just watched it and first impression is that if I were the studio exec, I'd only greenlight it if we were having a really good year or looking at a very desperate one. Close, there's potential, but it's no Helluva Boss.

It's almost like I'm good at this and not at all that I watched YouTube videos of people winning and ever-so-slightly might've cheesed the strategy just a bit <_<;
-
@scribus Is watching a YT video so different from reading up on a strategy guide back in the day? I try to avoid guides but there are times when the game isn't fun and I want to get to the fun again without the road block.
-
@adiwan Not quite so different, except maybe the video has a more obnoxious host than the written word, lol

Maybe my sense of humor is just broken but I dont really think the new circus show is really all that funny

@zeldatra I think it would be funny if I actually got a job at this GameStop and then showed up two hours late on my first day because the godrotten morons couldn't accurately advertise the hours of their job faire

Cool. Cool. Another bomb from WW2 has been found in my city and the planned defusing of that bomb is in a few weeks. Need to prepare for an evacuation, mostly for my mother as she lives in the evacuation zone. At the edge of it but everyone has to leave that zone for the whole time (about 6 hours).

A longtime cashier at my new store just gifted me a hand-crafted Dominican cigar to welcome me to the store. Is this normal? Is that a thing old people do?
about 6 months ago from web-
@zeldatra People were always handing out cigars on TV back in the 80s, but it was usually for a new baby or some kind of class warfare power play thing.

Read a story on CNN about how they’ve nearly doubled the price of Japanese rail tickets for foreigners, up to ¥50,000 from ¥29,000. Is it bananaed up that my first thought was “well, the yen is falling in value so quickly that by next week it’ll be like nothing even changed?”

@zeldatra Not any more bananaed up than that King of the Hill where Peggy mentioned going down to Mexico "every time they de-valued the Peso," and Hank says "It got old quick," I suppose

@scribus I know it's disrespectful to laugh about other people's names and dead ones but I've read that as "Dick Buttkiss".

@adiwan Yeah; I'm sure it had nothing to do with his reputation as a "mean" player on the field....

@scribus not that I really followed his career, but “probably deserved it” is one of my all time favorite replies to any angry tweet ever
