I guess it would depend on how badly I need to use the bathroom… If it’s becoming an emergency situation then I’ll go pretty much anywhere.

Most people get way less picky once they’re legitimately afraid they’ll shit their pants

Looks like a job for some pliers

Maybe the nuggets at that location are close to their expiration date so they’re only selling larger sizes to get rid of them faster?

And??? And what??? I need closure on this anecdote dammit!!!

People had been complaining about the pens since my first day there lol all the pens I bought were gone after about a month and they all went back to complaining again. I think one of the managers supplied a single 10 pack of pens once the whole time I worked there. I just kept a box of my own in my car for me to use lol

I got a job once at this little video production company, and everyone was always trying to find pens. I’m pretty sure this one smart ass there was stealing them just because he thought it was funny that no one could ever find one…

Anyway, it was probably my second week on the job and I got pissed off because there were like 10 cups that were supposed to have pens in them at all times and I couldn’t find a single one, so I went to the grocery store across the street and bought like 3 boxes of pens and filled all the cups again with the warning that these were my pens that everyone was welcome to use but if they all went missing I would start keeping them locked in my car. Everyone seemed happy to have pens again.

I got hauled into the managers office 2 hours later and questioned as to why I spent my own money on office supplies, why I didn’t just requisition more pens, told never to do that again and handed a check for $11 for “stationary supplies”.

That was the last time I ever bought anything for anybody at work ever again lol

The original Nintendo Entertainment System that I played with from the mid 80s to the early 90s came out almost 41 years ago now sonny 👴

Maybe you should just stop selling Apple products at all then? Why have the option at all if you have no intention of selling them?

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree there. I thought Mandalorian made good use of western tropes within the context of a Star Wars story, whereas to me it seems like Acolyte is almost trying steer away from being a Star Wars story at all and just including the bare minimum to still be a part of the franchise. Kind of like what Zack Snyder tried to do with Rebel Moon where he wrote an unrelated movie and then tried to shoe horn it in to the Star Wars universe

I’d say it’s just a click bait title. I guess they’re referring to the fact that Carrie-Ann Moss dies within the first 10 minutes of the first episode and people didn’t immediately turn it off lol

The spaghetti westerness of Mandalorian was done with enough subtlety that it only served to enhance the story without completely overshadowing it. I’ve been enjoying the story in Acolyte but it feels completely overshadowed by all the Kung Fu antics. It feels like less of an ode to kung fu movies and more like someone made a fully realized kung fu series and then just slapped on a bunch of Star Wars stuff to try and make it more profitable.

All the silly kung fu fights and forced samurai references seem to be ruining what could have been a great story…

Don’t get me wrong, I love old kung fu movies, and I LOVE samurai movies and TV shows, but this is too much. I realize the Jedi are somewhat based on samurai characters, but it feels almost like this is just a remake of an old martial arts film with Jedi thrown in so they could name it a Star Wars property

The actual detective/mystery story itself seems pretty interesting but it keeps getting lost under all the other fluff

It wouldn’t necessarily have to be double thick, they could just make it longer or wider across or both

That’s just weird… If they thought one bar wouldn’t be enough then why not just make the bars bigger? Is it still even a “healthy snack” if you have to cram them down 2 at a time? It reminds me of the time I was checking the info on the back of a packet of Top Ramen and it said it’s supposed to be like 2 or 3 servings. Like was I supposed to share it with someone? Lol

I usually just use the crop feature to zoom in on the picture after I take it and just select the part I wanted. Seems to work pretty well. I have a Motorola that wasn’t particularly expensive.

It sort of defeats the whole purpose of having a camera on your phone if you still have to carry around a camera bag full of lenses though doesn’t it?

Yeah but who wants to carry around a case of lenses for just taking random snapshots on their phone?

It looks like it’s applying some kind of sharpness adjustment to the zoom. Maybe that’s like an “auto enhance” feature you can turn off?

Could you not just make a second email account that you just use for things like this? Why is the only alternative to use your personal account? It takes like 2 minutes to make an alternate Gmail account lol
