IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2], Called the fire department to ask if we're really getting a fire inspection tomorrow. They said yes.Aug 05 00:12
IsambardPrinceMark said it was the fire department and it turned out to be The Syndicate.Aug 05 00:12

IsambardPrinceMinceR, "I went to Dunkin' and got my spouse a matcha with light ice.Aug 05 00:27
IsambardPrinceOne employee brought it to the window, cup full.Aug 05 00:27
IsambardPrinceThen another got onto her and the first one went and poured half the matcha down the drain and handed me half an empty cup.Aug 05 00:27
IsambardPrinceI asked "What the hell is this?"Aug 05 00:27
IsambardPrinceShe said, "It's a new policy. You ordered light ice, so you only get that much!"Aug 05 00:27
IsambardPrinceI said, "It's a new policy that after you filled it full you pour half down the sink? Are you people stupid or something?"Aug 05 00:27
IsambardPrinceShe slams the window."Aug 05 00:27
MinceRlolAug 05 00:29
IsambardPrinceMinceR, I sat there for about a minute and she opens the window again and we kept arguing. Then Mandy wouldn't drink it because he said "What if they spit in it because you got mad at them?" and so I turned to the woman who had the window open again and said "None of them are smart enough to think of that, and if they were, they still aren't ambitious enough because it would require effort."Aug 05 00:36
IsambardPrinceI was piseed. I was letting out F bombs by this point like "You poured the fucking drink down the fucking drain. You already made the drink and you poured it down the goddamned drain. Do you realize how idiotic that is?"Aug 05 00:37
IsambardPrince*pissedAug 05 00:37
IsambardPrinceMinceR, Added:Aug 05 00:48
IsambardPrince"Also, had to wait at the drive through for over half an hour for this even though there were like four employees in there and three cars including mine.Aug 05 00:48
IsambardPrince Aug 05 00:48
IsambardPrinceWhat were you doing in there that takes $80 an hour of payroll where you can't make drinks for three cars, and you think you're "saving money" getting miserly with the matcha, by pouring half a finished drink down the drain?"Aug 05 00:48
IsambardPrince"As you can see, I was miffed. What is going on these days where... Service workers were not like this in the 90s, and they made like three dollars an hour. Now they make like twenty and they can't make drinks at Dunkin' Donuts for three cars, in an hour.Aug 05 00:48
IsambardPrince Aug 05 00:48
IsambardPrinceThe only reason I didn't leave was right after I pulled in, someone came in behind me trapping me in the drive through.Aug 05 00:48
IsambardPrince Aug 05 00:48
IsambardPrinceThis business is operating, somehow?"Aug 05 00:48
MinceRmaybe those $3 were worth more than the $80 todayAug 05 00:48
IsambardPrinceWell, there were four people in there.Aug 05 00:49
IsambardPrinceI assume they make about $20 because that seems to be the wage floor around here.Aug 05 00:49
MinceR:>Aug 05 00:49
MinceRthen maybe those $3 were worth more than the $20 todayAug 05 00:49
IsambardPrinceI don't think so.Aug 05 00:50
IsambardPrinceI asked my mom why the boss didn't come in and fire these people.Aug 05 00:51
IsambardPrinceShe said because there's nobody to replace them with.Aug 05 00:51
IsambardPrinceThey all want to be high and on their phone all the time instead of working.Aug 05 00:51
IsambardPrinceShe's right.Aug 05 00:51
IsambardPrinceMinceR, I put like $30-some worth of gas in my car one day and paid with my AmEx.Aug 05 00:52
IsambardPrinceI drove off and my phone beeped and said "You paid $275 at Murphy."Aug 05 00:52
IsambardPrinceI pulled over real fast and was like "SAY WHAT!?!?"Aug 05 00:53
IsambardPrinceAnd it turns out it's just Google saying that.Aug 05 00:53
IsambardPrince:/Aug 05 00:53
MinceRlolAug 05 00:53
IsambardPrinceI was wondering if I didn't hang the nozzle up and just paid for everyone's gas behind me too.Aug 05 00:54
IsambardPrinceIt's some sort of quirk in Google.Aug 05 00:55

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-finance.yahoo.com | Rolex, luxury watchmakers brace for Trump's tariffs on Swiss importsAug 05 01:02
IsambardPrinceIt's actually cheaper to just take a vacation to Switzerland and buy a Rolex than it is to buy a Rolex now, thanks to Trump's insane tariffs.Aug 05 01:02
MinceRbut it's even cheaper to buy a casio instead, and as a bonus, you'll end up with a better watchAug 05 01:03

IsambardPrinceOh yeah, it's so precise that the watch gains or loses several minutes a week and you STILL have to spend a few hundred bucks getting it serviced every few years or it stops working completely.Aug 05 01:12
IsambardPrinceMinceR, You know, it's sealed up perfectly so you can jump in the ocean with a $30,000 watch.Aug 05 01:13
IsambardPrinceIn theory.Aug 05 01:13
IsambardPrinceBut even then it needs greased and cleaned all the time, why?Aug 05 01:14

IsambardPrinceMinceR, I love how the joke is since he's dead and in the afterlife, the food is perfect and he can eat all he wants and not get fat. Everything is amazing. But as soon as he takes a bite, someone always comes and pulls him away from it.Aug 05 01:45
IsambardPrinceI think the only restaurants he gets to visit there where nobody bothers him are lunch with his defender where he eats a whole roast chicken with all the sides, and the Japanese restaurant with the tuna.Aug 05 01:47
IsambardPrinceBut he goes to this Italian place and orders a big plate of shrimp and he gets to eat one, and it's amazing, then in walks his prosecutor.Aug 05 01:48
IsambardPrinceI liked what "Bob Diamond" said "Everyone on Earth uses 3-5% of their brain. Once you use more than 5% you don't want to be on Earth anymore, believe me."Aug 05 01:49
IsambardPrinceBob uses 48% of his.Aug 05 01:49
IsambardPrinceDaniel asks Bob if he can have a bite of what he's eating (which looks like salisbury steak with gravy) and Daniel spits it out and Bob says "A little like horseshit isn't it?"Aug 05 01:49
IsambardPrinceDaniel asks how Bob can eat that. Bob says, as you get smarter, you learn to manipulate your sense "This tastes very different to me than it does to you."Aug 05 01:50
IsambardPrince*sensesAug 05 01:50
IsambardPrinceMinceR, I think that does explain why some people are very adventurous eaters, and other people are like pepperoni pizzas and canned ravioli (like John).Aug 05 01:51
IsambardPrinceI think that smarter people learn to like new things, inherently.Aug 05 01:51
IsambardPrinceAnd people that are not so smart never get much past hotdogs.Aug 05 01:51
IsambardPrinceMy mother asked how I could stand to eat this Korean chicken with Gochujang sauce. She said "It just burns your mouth. There's no other flavor to it."Aug 05 01:53
IsambardPrinceI said, "There's plenty of flavor, and you can just choose to ignore some of the heat if you want to."Aug 05 01:53
IsambardPrinceYou can choose to concentrate on other aspects of almost any experience.Aug 05 01:55
IsambardPrinceThat's probably why some people like spicy dishes and others don't.Aug 05 01:55
MinceRor you can gradually get used to the heatAug 05 01:57
MinceRi think that's what usually happensAug 05 01:57
IsambardPrinceWhen I was about 6-7 my dad got mad at me for getting up one Saturday morning to watch cartoons. I got a big bowl of hot Jalapeño peppers out of the fridge and was sitting there eating them one by one.Aug 05 01:59
MinceR:)Aug 05 02:00
IsambardPrinceThose were on the hotter end of the scale for a Jalapeño.Aug 05 02:00
IsambardPrinceThe ones that they sell in jars today are a lot milder.Aug 05 02:00
IsambardPrinceThey had a spicy A1 sauce for a while but I can't find it anymore.Aug 05 02:01

admfubarthomas watson used to work for NCR corporation , (National Cash Register, the computer of the day) they had watson some into a city and set up a repair shop, as customers would bring their registers for repair, he'd give them a price that was higher then a new NCR register.Aug 05 02:52
admfubarthe customers would instead get a shiny new ncr register instead with a lowballed price.Aug 05 02:52

IsambardPrinceMinceR, Someone laughed that a car pulled up behind me during the dunkin donuts thing trapping me in the drive thru for half an hour so they could pour out half of Mandy's drink.Aug 05 04:14
IsambardPrinceSo I continued:"At least the Dunkin' over by Walmart gets you in and out, although the coffee is tepid if you order it hot. But the matcha is just a powder so I think it's the same everywhere.Aug 05 04:14
IsambardPrince Aug 05 04:14
IsambardPrinceI may pull up there next month and ask if they also have a policy of making an entire drink and then pouring half of it down the drain because you ordered less ice. Smiley HappyAug 05 04:14
IsambardPrince Aug 05 04:14
IsambardPrinceAlthough presumably if you order a hot matcha, which has no ice at all, they give it to you full?Aug 05 04:14
IsambardPrince Aug 05 04:14
IsambardPrinceI don't know where this "policy" is coming from. The worker actually got into an argument with me where she started drawing me a diagram on the cup swith her fingers and the lines saying "If it's light ice you fill the drink to this line." and I said "No no no, if it's light ice it means give me a whole cup full of matcha that starts with half as much ice. I don't need this in my life today."Aug 05 04:14
IsambardPrince Aug 05 04:14
IsambardPrinceFinally I accepted that I lost and just went to my physical therapy. Aug 05 04:14

schestowitz[TR2]there was a time when the prevailing view was something along lines ofAug 05 06:30

schestowitz[TR2]that their use against some groups is acceptable.Aug 05 06:31

IsambardPrinceYeah. I have a physical therapy app I'm using.Aug 05 09:04
IsambardPrinceShe told me I'd made some progress but limited. She said she figured that would happen just because of the extent of the injury.Aug 05 09:04
IsambardPrinceBut it makes it easier to document the necessity of the surgery.Aug 05 09:04
IsambardPrinceThis surgery is like light years ahead of anything they've been able to do before.Aug 05 09:05
IsambardPrinceEven ten years ago they may have had to go straight to a joint replacement.Aug 05 09:05
IsambardPrinceThey've had more experience doing these on knees.Aug 05 09:05
IsambardPrinceThey haven't been using this method on shoulders for very long so there's not even a specific billing code for it.Aug 05 09:06
IsambardPrinceThey have to say unlisted code for shoulder and then specify what they did.Aug 05 09:06
IsambardPrinceAnd why that was necessary.Aug 05 09:06
IsambardPrinceAnd why nothing else would have worked.Aug 05 09:07
IsambardPrinceRight, they have to document that this was the least extreme of the options.Aug 05 09:07
IsambardPrinceAnd the only way you get more extreme is to replace the joint.Aug 05 09:07
IsambardPrinceBut the doctor says it's not that far gone so he doesn't want to do that.Aug 05 09:08
IsambardPrinceHe said I'm too young and the replacement joint would work okay for a while probably but I'd likely live long enough to need another one.Aug 05 09:08
IsambardPrinceAnd that's not something he says I'll want to do in my 60s.Aug 05 09:08
IsambardPrinceI agree.Aug 05 09:08
IsambardPrinceSo it sounds like a kindness. They do a transplant and it'll probably live and fuse to the joint and then I do PT and just go on living.Aug 05 09:09
