.....here are two pics I just iPotato'd of the Buick in all of its living room sofa glory. I love it. Y'all, my boss takes forever to make a decision and it could be a while until I know if I will get it or not. But, WOULD YOU JUST LOOK AT THIS!?!

It's easy. It's got a "Mark all notifications read" thingy! And, when I have notifications, they show up on my tab on Chrome! HUZZAH!

Spending a week with the family at Topsail Island NC! For all the bike riders here, my pace and my time will be up this week. Lol. Feels so good to ride on something other than grueling hills!

I’ll be here all week and useless most of the time. So, not much different than normal.

......to buy a running, driving, passes inspection, air conditioning doesn’t work 2005 Buick LeSabre for $800. It’s incredibly clean and only has 89k miles on it. I’m super tempted. I miss my boaty mcboatface cars. Anyone have any words of warning about these?? 3.8 litre non supercharged.

@jminer I'm not crying. You're crying. This is beautiful and I'm excited! Thank you again!

Boss man decided not to wholesale the Buick. He's going to fix the air and retail it. Which, with current inventory levels, makes sense. I get it. But I have big boaty floaty hole inside me now. I hope it sells quickly. I don't want to look at it every day.

@forsweden said in I bought a robot vacuum for the office and I have some thoughts:

@akioohtori did you name it?

I'm here for responses like this.

Benefits are huge. You need to at least investigate their package. You never know when something worse medically might hit.

You’re in an ideal negotiating position: you don’t actually need to leave your current job. Take advantage of it, see what they’re offering, and enjoy being in that position of power.

I never really thought about it like that! Power.....hmmmmm. I like power. But in all seriousness, I guess I am in that position? I don't NEED them. So, I can swing for the fences and if they don't bite, well, I will stay where I know I am happy.

@aremmes Color me pleasantly surprised.

Sadface. But also super thankful for the Hyphen.

I'll annoy my dad about this. That thing is in surprisingly good shape!

He should buy it.

I mean, we already have two....Do we need more? And yes, I already know the answer. It's just getting him on board!

@taylor-martin The gas engine is a bit of a turn off for me, however, we've re-powered firetrucks before and we could do it again. I'll annoy my dad about this. That thing is in surprisingly good shape!

@hooker The Firehouse Restaurant? It looks like it’s under new ownership since last year.

I think that's the place! I'll have to look back through my pictures to make sure but I can't imagine there's more than one! It was really a treat! Glad they're opening back up!

@boxer_4 said in Cage The Elephant @ Riverfront Park - Harrisburg, PA:

@hooker I'd never been to Harrisburg proper before (lived in PA all my life, and lived in the Harrisburg area twice in the last ~7 years), and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with how nice it is. I'm definitely going to go back to explore the downtown more at some point.

I'm not sure if it's still there, it was several years ago, however, there was a restaurant that used to be an old fire station there. Don't remember what it was called but it was so cool and delicious.

@boxer_4 My family and I have been to Harrisburg I think 3 times with our antique fire truck (no, not that one. The other one). Each time, we would parade with other fire trucks down to the Riverfront Park and pump out of the river. It was beautiful as is Harrisburg itself. I wish I didn't live so far away!

@xjdano Oh, I am here for Donkey Kong among others. Thank you!

@jminer These will be a must.

@jminer said in Nintendo Switch Help:

@hooker if you're a N64 fan buy the Super Mario 3d All Stars. They only sold them new for a short time, but they're available on ebay.

I've played through most of the super Mario 64 and it's amazing.

I'd also recommend Super Mario Bros U and the Mario Rabbids kingdom both as great casual plays.

Also Civ VI is available on it and a great time waster.

Thank you! I believe I will be falling down a rabbit hole here shortly.

@jminer said in Nintendo Switch Help:

@hooker the switch is excellent for casual gaming. Pick it up, play an hour then put it away for a month. That's my usual interaction with it now that I don't travel for work. It was amazing when killing time in the hotel or airport.

That's excellent! I may be in a position of travelling more for work, so it may come in handy!

I don't game. I don't even pretend to game.

And then you proceed to tell us that you have a history of gaming and bought a new piece of electronics designed just for gaming.

There's nothing wrong with gaming. After all, 60% of americans admit that they enjoy watching men try to crush each other while running with an oblong ball. Worldwide, 70% of the population likes to watch men chase a round ball around a field.

At least you're playing the game instead of just watching it!

True statement. I guess I should say I have never been an avid gamer. More an occasional one.
