@phase2 See if insurance will cover a dual endoscopy and colonoscopy as a "preventative" measure. By the time you finish the prep and go through the actual procedure... wait, that's a different problem. 😉

It took a few tries, but I finally succeeded with the patch. Gum didn't help me a'tall. And not gonna lie, the first couple of years freakin' sucked - but if my backsliding butt can do it, you definitely can!

@Render This. Best part is when the VA says "only the one ear is covered, as that's your firing side..."
I guess the 6 years doing demo and 10 years on the flightline didn't contribute a'tall. 🙄

Caveat: I do need to file for a review after the news broke a couple of years ago about the faulty ear plugs supplier.

@phase2 …and now all I can think about, is how one would cite Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence” in APA format. 👀

Nope, that's not on you a'tall. That's called hospitality... getting splatted is a THEM problem, not anything to do with your kindness and empathy.

Had a good chuckle this afternoon- scammer texted me with the old "I'm planning a surprise gift for some staffs and I decided to get them some gift cards" scam.

And they used Ed Skoudis' name. Pretty sure they didn't do any verification on that data set, lol! And yes, I reached out to let Mr. Skoudis know - for awareness, and likely a small chuckle. 😂

@shadow_queene Umm.... to quote the amazing George Takei:
"Oh myyyyyyy....."

This reminds me of one of my first IT managers. They once took me aside, looked me in the eye and said "Remember when your grandma told you about the golden rules? Especially the one about 'If you don't have something nice to say, say nothing at all?' Well, there's an addendum to that for IT work. It goes 'If you aren't 1000% sure about the root cause, say nothing until it's fixed.'"

@shadow_queene If they seriously told you that, look them square in the eye and ask why they aren't operating off of UTC, with time zone offsets... like most competent organizations.
Oh, and if you're on Windows 10/11 - you can add additional clocks. They'll show up when you hover over the taskbar clock. 🤓

Seems to be working for me *shrug*

@jsto I think that actually happened a day or two ago.

@ohgoditsess catboi for teh win. 😺

@b4cks4w spend part of the recovered cash on a spare roll of duct tape, "just in case." 😉

@woofspriv s'all good. Will feel strange for about a week - but at some point you'll look up, and realize how calm everything is - and that you've got time to do that thing you've been meaning to do, but kept putting off. 😉

@FrankCannon ...and fresh cherries. Very tasty.
