My father ultimately invested in a line-in gas generator that kicks on the second power is out to power the entire house. I don't think he ever had a need to utilize it once it was installed, but I suppose for him it was $15k worth of peace of mind.

No generator for me, but my two sump pumps have battery back up.  The old lady who lived here before me took care of that set up knowing the basement could flood.  So far no issues

What is a "basement" ?
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

G'morning all. Quiet day in the office today with it being a bank holiday overseas, which suits me just fine.

It's an underground dump. But that's not important right now......

Gah today has been a long day, and I am not even halfway done with my shift. Came in to a list of a dozen things I need to address today, and a few of them are things that will take a decent chunk of time to accomplish. I also get to post something that ends in "Failure to follow the above will result in disciplinary action", because people have gotten fucking lazy and I am sick of it.

God I sound like my father.

How many dead hookers does it take to change a lightbulb? It has to be more than 4, because that's what I have in my basement and it's dark as fuck down there.

Exactly my plan.  Who wants to be predictable?   Not me.  Though the older I get the more I fight that.  I'm such a lazy ass these days.

Dudes!

So, I see folks talking about basements.  We FINALLY are done with the basement...about eight weeks after a sewer main backup. Destruction, remediation, and rebuild.  We were going to get it redone anyway, but this forced our hand.  Aside from the cost, the biggest kick in the nuts was that what should have been a two week renovation became about six weeks.  Put a serious cramp in our style.  And the wife works from home...and paint fumes, loud mexican rap music and sledgehammering are not conducive to that.

Other than the ceiling height, our basement is just as habitable as our main floor. Plus, that's where the 4K receiver and 65" TV is.

Traffic this morning was rather odd; got behind a Terminix truck going 5 below the speed limit, then when he turned off I flew, only to hit a larger-than-normal pocket of traffic, but once that broke up, went faster than usual. 🤔

Not inundated at work today...yet. Meeting a friend for lunch.

People, I need some help.

Looking for a movie/TV clip. Not a specific one, but a specific type.

I know I've seen movies or TV where someone is having brain surgery or something and the person poking around their brain can make them do a bunch of weird stuff like move or sound like animals, etc.

But I can't actually recall a specific title. Any ideas?

If memory serves, there was a similar scene in one of the Hannibal Lecter movies; wasn't Anthony Hopkins messing around in Ray Liotta's cranium?

Yea, but he was just eating the brain as far as I remember. I think I'm looking more for the comedy ones where they actually make people do stuff besides taste good.

Good (morning?) peeps.

Came into work and went over some constructive criticism with members of my team regarding some things I've seen. Didn't single anyone out specifically, and was going to give the same speech to the next shift as well.

3 hours later, one of the guys I was talking to (who also happened to the be one of the reasons for the speech I gave), texted me quitting.


Oi.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Perfect. If it were only that easy all of the time.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

He was improving. I pulled one of my more experienced employees aside and asked how the kid (the guy is barely 21) was doing, and he said it's been like night and day. I actually gave him an extra shift over someone else because he had been improving. Oh well.

Dude looks and acts like he's 16. When he started here a few months ago, another employee wanted to beat the crap out of him for his mouth (referring to him as "mom" and what not). That stopped real quick luckily.

Maybe we should move this to the Old as Mold thread. We could compare medications, aches, and consistency of bowel-movements.
