"nothing work related". Basically I'll veg on the couch to recharge... cook, eat, drink, catch up on movies, etc, until I get bored and motivated. I don't know how long that will take, and at this point, I'm not too worried about it. Step one of a woodworking project is to finish cleaning up the shop so it can be usable again... it's gotten quite cluttered in the last year or 2 and isn't that functional right now. I need to throw out a ton of stuff that is taking up room and not being used. If anything, that is my goal for the xmas break... so that I can work in the shop after work in the new year.
On that note... the sleep apnea thing really fucked me up. I had zero energy, as in ZERO, so didn't do fuck all other than let chaos and entropy win. I'm now digging myself out of that multi-year hole. Making progress, very noticeable progress, but there's just so much to do.
Oh look... a reasonable response to the drone fear mongering. On the internet, even, It all comes down to people being stupid. Go figure.
My take: this is just a modern version of the Great Los Angeles Air Raid. Amplified by social media and stupid people.
Much cooler than my username backstory. I was big into Toyota Supras and their motor designation was 2JZGTE and I noticed that "GTE" was available on a lot of different forums so it made sense to use instead of a different name for each site.
Perhaps Spielberg will make a really shitty movie about this, too. People are fucking idiots— mob rule will make most people buy into just about any bullshit, and news cameras will make them look a thousand times dumber. Case in point:
My opinion was and is that MOST of the supposed drone sightings can be explained exactly as shown in this video. However, there is definitely an uptick in drone activity in this area. We live near the largest lake in the state so people are always flying drones overhead to get cool shots of it, I know people who own and fly them, and I know what they look like. And as someone who’s into astronomy I spend plenty of time looking up. I know what a plane looks like, particularly at night. Do I think they’re aliens/Iranian/conducting reconnaissance for nefarious purposes? Fuck no. Do I think there are drone hobbyists fucking with people? Absolutely. Do I think that the government is testing or developing new technology at one of several bases in New Jersey known for doing such things? Probably.
Two more days and I’m right there with ya. At least a few of those days will be spent sitting on my ass watching tv or scrolling through Reddit. We called that a “janitor fracture” ( or something like that, it’s been a while ). Those are the films where even the janitor walks by, sees the film and goes, “Oh yeah, that’s broken.”
Just to clarify, this isn’t my current situation, it happened 4 years ago. But I still remember clearly feeling and hearing my leg snap, and thinking “this is going to be bad”, all in slow motion.
It looks like i see a boneless label. I had problem the first time i did a boneless one. I tried to do it like a bone in one. The problem is the smaller side of where the bone was, is smaller then the other side, and since it isn't attached it dried out bad, even though it was close. I would try tieing it together so it is more like one hunk of meat then 2.
This year Christmas falls on a wednesday, which is the best day for Christmas to fall on at my job. We get Christmas eve, Christmas day and Boxing Day off every year. Also NYE and New Years day off. And the epiphiny the 6th of January, which is a monday. But as a perk in our contract is that any time a holiday falls on a tuesday or a thursday we also get the monday or friday off. So all of next week off without needing to take any vacation. Plus the following monday to wednesday for new years. Then the monday the 6th. So that means I get 17 days off, and only need to take 2 days out my vacation bank. I have no idea what to do with all the time on my hands.
I’m watching Christmas Vacation and realized during the opening scene that Rusty is the richest actor in the car by a mile. Who would’ve imagined in 89.
