They were lost due to a rounding error.

I’m so fucking tired of this shit.

This reminds me of the old saying “It’s better to have something and not need it than to need something and not have it.” Insurance is largely built around this principle. Not counting the corruption in exorbitant prices that’s a different topic.

Are you familiar with firewatch duty? When somebody is doing any work that could produce a fire in an environment, they need to have someone there to supervise who can do something if a fire breaks out. Grab an extinguisher, hit the alarm, stuff like that. This is pretty normal in businesses, because if the guy doing the work say, welding, accidentally said some self on fire, there needs to be somebody there to put it out. The chances of it being necessary or extremely low, but the consequences of not having someone there in an emergency are extremely high.

This can lead to situations that seem silly. A buddy of mine was once on fire watch duty while someone was repairing a manhole or sewer grate or something like that in the middle of an empty parking lot. He just grabbed it off his chair and sat there shooting the shit with the guy while hanging on to the fire extinguisher for like 4 hours. There is nothing to catch fire except possibly the guy doing the work.

Anyway, keep on doing your job. On the off chance that you need to do something, it’ll be good that you were there to do it. If not, at least people can sleep happier knowing that the job is being washed over by people who know what they’re doing.

Accurate.

And the best they could come up with was anthro shit?

THIS IS MINE!

I got a really cool Lego set one time. Though it did have one defective piece in it.

If war breaks out between NATO and Russia, Europe hasn’t kept up enough military power to hold the Russians back while waiting for America to come bail them out. Their countries are gonna get hardcore trashed in the process.

“Free speech.” Fuck Spez and his sycophants.

Most euros have no goddamn idea just how huge the US actually is.

Q: Why don’t Americans travel abroad? A: That’s a 12+ hour flight I can’t afford to go somewhere I don’t speak the language. I barely live paycheck to paycheck if I’m lucky.

Q: Why don’t Americans speak other languages? A: I can drive for up to and over 1,000 miles in almost any direction and everybody still speaks English. The exception is most of Mexico. And some of Quebec, but that’s because some of them are just assholes.

Q: Is America really that big? A: All of Europe could fit inside the continental 48 states alone, with room left over for desert. We have literally every biome here, more vacation options than you could fit into a human lifetime of just visiting them all, and we import all the best stuff from everywhere else. There’s no practical reason to leave the country, and we don’t have to mess with border crossings in-country. Until recent years we didn’t need passports at all, in country. Now the TSA demands them (or the Real ID equivalent) for some security theater political bullshit reason, but that’s flying domestically only.

Well I don’t smoke, so I’ll pass.

That’s a look that says “please just stop and go away.” The girl’s, that is. The guy’s look says “I wonder what human meat tastes like.”

None? They’re noodles. You put sauce or whatever on them. The shape doesn’t matter. I’m honestly confused as to why there are so many; if the ingredients are the same they all taste alike.

They must not have banks in wherever he’s from.

I thought it was like, France Jr.

I’ve been disgusted and angry about it ever since election day ended. There are so many goddamn stupid people in this country. And the ones that voted for him as a protest? Or out of misogyny or party loyalty or some other stupidity? I hope they suffer the maximum negative consequences born from their choice. Just so goddamn stupid.
