I buy something from a Company in california, my credit card company is in south carolia, and the server is in New York. Can someone explain to me why MAryland, my home state, expects a cut of the deal? Unless they are going to set up border check points, and search cars for shoppinb bags form out of state, id say they can go fuck themselves. Sigh. Time to start buying from other countries. HELLO NEXT AMERICAN DEPRESSION!!!
5-6 of us in the conference room, all kind of shell shocked, waiting to go talk to one of the managers or whatnot, and one of us starts: "Should we go out there and just stare at everyone?" Someone else "How bout we throw a hysterical tantrum in the middle of the reception room?" "come back tomorrow wearing a black trenchcoat with a suspicious bulge?" "With a smoking,ticking box labeled "to the management?""
This sort of thing went on for 30 minutes, we were all laughing hysterically by the end of it. I wish i had a tape of it.
WOuldnt it be better to have bycicle sized wheels on it for stability, and curb climbing ability? ALl the ones ive seen have wheels 1/2 to 1/3(apparently) the size of your average bike wheel.
i am writing you from the nigerian space ministry. you have been reccomended to me as a vey honest rocket scientist. i need your help to retirieve an unclaimed satelite!!! if you could send me your current space shuttle, fully fueled, i promise to award you half of the satelite for your assistance. this is of the utmost confidentiality due to the senistve nature of......
"new solar electric propulsion system which converts solar energy its panels into motion via the expulsion of ions." Wouldnt solar powered ion engine be easier to say?
"I would expect that there are laws against harrassing judges, and even if not, the judges certainly have the power to throw you in jail for contempt just on their say so."
If he dosent want to hear the public comment on his rulings, he shouldnt be a federal employee. Congress dosent want to hear me call up and bitch a them either, too fucking bad. I am not calling up and making fart noises at 2am, i am calling up to say hes doing a bad job, and needs to reevaluate his position. THis man is my employee, i am calling him at his job, telling him hes not doing it to my satisfaction. And besides, he just said its perfectly ok for some stranger to call me up and tell me that they think i need to something differently in my life.
I play a lot of half life, which if you havnt played it, you run around and shoot people, graphic, blood, the whole 9 yards. On several occasions, i have run into kids on htere who tell us not to swear in the type/chat, because their mom will pull them off the game.
Let me get this straight, your letting your kid machinegun and beat people with a crowbar, but the LANGUAGE is the problem? How fucked up can a parent be?
Seriosly, i have no problem with tricked out cars, but riding around in a toyota carolla with the gold package does not make you cool. Neiter does revving the 4 cylinder engine and squealing the tires in the parking lot.
Im normally a few minutes late, but i could fis that. However, if they start making me punch a clock, well then, no more working through lunch, no more staying after 5:00 to finish up, no more letting that extra 15 minutes of OT slide, no more cellphone on the weekends for emergencies. They want me to punch a clock? FIne. 40 hours, thats all they get. They keep making noises here about requiring authorization for OT. I would LOVE that. "SOrry sir, i know you printers not working yet, but im not allowed to work past 8 hours without written authorization, so ill have to pass this on to another tech, he should be here in less than 4 hours"
They want to clock me down to the second? Fantastic. THEY get clocked to the second also.
We used to destroy HHD by letting the techs(me) go apeshit on them with a hammer, then some sandpapaer, then my supervisor would litereally wake someof them home for target practice with his.45.
THey now require the disks to be physically shredded, but i think we came pretty damn close.
