  • Number 4 is when the force of your shit cannot be contained within the bowl and you have to spend some time cleaning around it when you’re done.

    Number 5 is when the force of your shit cannot ne contained within the bathroom and you have to pay for renovations when you’re done.


  • Few months ago, during the season when the baby seagulls were finally coming down to ground level and starting to move around on their own, I took a bicycle ride. Then I came back from my ride, left my bike in the building’s parking lot, grabbed a bunch of tools from my apartment, and went back to my bike to do some maintenance on it.

    The entire time I worked on the bike, I was harassed by three barely-not-a-baby-anymore seagulls who thought the parking lot belonged to them. It was the same gang of dumb birds who’d charged my car a few times while I was driving in and out. Pretty sure they shat on it a lot too. Anyway, while I was doing the bike maintenance thing, one of them stood right next to me and yelled at the top of its dumb lungs with its dumb wings spread out to intimidate me I suppose. Another one ran laps around me and my bike, also yelling. The other one didn’t yell as much, but it tried to run at me and slap me with its dumb wings. People passing by watched me yell “fuck away from me dude” and flap my oil-stained rags at a bunch of angry baby seagulls for like 20 minutes while intermittently sitting down to clean the chain or whatever. I am aware it looked pretty stupid but I am not surrendering my parking lot to a bunch of dumb seagulls who are just shedding their dumb baby feathers. I cleaned the sprockets, oiled the chain, and adjusted the gear cables right where I always do it. Mama didn’t raise no bitch.

    Anyway, that’s the story. And the moral is, yes seagulls are dumb.



  • A lot of people. They’re served very commonly with coffee. Very rarely red, though. Mostly they’re small white cubes with either pistachios or hazelnuts in them.

    The tube looking ones are a more fancier type. I would not say they’re more common than the cubes, though. The “nobody buys those cubes” thing is an absolutely wild statement, honestly.




  • Meh. I would not take either. In fact I actually didn’t. I went to a showroom and got inside their EVs and PHEVs while looking for a car. My immediate reaction after sitting in the driver’s seat of their PHEV was “I don’t want to drive this”. Same thing with the pure EV. I’ll give you the wheel, but those A/C controls next to the “shifter” are touch surfaces instead of actual buttons, and they’re just as annoying and worthless as touchscreen controls. Which is sad because those cars have fantastic stats on paper and very competitive prices. Unfortunately most EVs on the market have fucking stupid interior designs. Very often you have to choose between affordable and well designed. Not very many that are both.

    In the end I decided not to buy a new car at all. Still got my 2015 Leon.




  • It’s olives for me. Raw, fresh olives are absolutely disgusting. Insanely bitter. Straight up inedible until it’s essentially pickled, which is what we actually eat. Crazy that someone ate that shit off the branch and went “I can fix this” instead of just writing the entire tree off as junk.


  • Here’s a real and true story about how separate Microsoft teams communicate and coordinate:

    Few weeks ago, some Microsoft team from the US deprecated some critical service used by other Microsoft products. They just shut it off without notifying anyone. Other teams from other Microsoft offices in the rest of the world found about this deprecation when their production builds started failing to log customers in to the applications that they need for their businesses. People were called in from their vacations, emergency meetings were held to play hot potato with responsibility. Clients were PISSED. I stopped following the drama before it was resolved.
