Keming.

But significantly increased motion sickness.

The kraken almost had you…

As many as 14 other passengers were later discovered to have survived the initial crash but died while waiting to be rescued.

Jesus, what shit luck for them…

Is that better or worse than being told you have a face for radio?

I remember seeing an article back in the 90s or maybe even 80s that was exploring the possibility of the entire passenger compartment separating from the wings and rest of the fuselage and parachuting down in the event of a major failure. The thing is, it would be ridiculously expensive to implement, and there are very few situations where such a system would be any better than keeping the plane in one piece.

6’ fat dude here… 46" I think… maybe only 44…

the latency was over a second

It’s going to space!

I put my leftover pizza in a Ziploc bag, it doesn’t dry out even after a week (and probably longer, but at that point something else is eating it…)

“hack hack,” hackened he.

I’ve asked my kids to fetch my glasses for me a few times… They know not to handle the lenses…

If you want to confuse people… I pronounce /etc as “ets”, but one of my coworkers recently called it “slash e t c” and I had to ask him to repeat it a couple times before I figured out what he meant…

Have you ever tried catching flies? Vinegar works better than honey, after all, flies eat shit.

Having worked both retail and call center, no, they’re not in the same league. People can be assholes over the phone, absolutely, but it’s quite different from face-to-face. Someone threatens to kill me over the phone, I can say “I’d like to see you try” and hang up, and the worst that happens is I get fired. In person, they can carry out the threat.

It’s nice when you have a boss that has your back. I worked at RadioShack back in the day, and the manager of the store I stayed at the longest was like that. Of course we didn’t have the whole x items or less, but we were in a busy college area, only on-street parking, so we’d get people running in and wanting to be served immediately regardless of how busy we were because they were double parked. The boss empowered us to tell them to fuck off, politely of course. “Come back when you have more time, we’ll be happy to help”. Also, we were next to a parking lot, it wasn’t ours, though we did have a couple of spots that were clearly marked employee parking only. Few things gave the boss more pleasure than calling a tow truck… Literally rubbing his hands with glee on multiple occasions.

I never worked food service, but I did my time in retail… That “Well we’re here now” just gave me a PTSD-like flashback…

I feel like “chose to have” is a bit strong when “chose not to abort” might be more accurate…

Have I just experienced youngsplaining?

Once upon a time, there was a Linux distro that would fit on a single floppy, it was intended for system rescue, diagnostics, that sort of thing…

I don’t think the OS was sophisticated enough to tell the difference… A drive letter is a drive letter…
