I was really confident. Then I lost a job to AI. Then they hired me back a few months later after realizing that replacing half the support team with an AI was not working out.
Turious
I'm really into JDM cars, which are always interesting to see in America. I had a Toyota AE111 Levin for a few years. Ran into the most unfortunate luck with a large hailstorm and losing my job in the same week. Sold it for a fraction of its value to someone who wanted to fix the hail damage.
That car was the perfect car for my level of skill in performance driving and the style of roads where I live. I'll never be able to replace that thing.
Professors are burned and jaded so much by students taking advantage of their test taking policies that they fail to see when there should absolutely be an exception. Visible medical emergencies are certainly one of them. They should not only not be professors, they should be fired or arrested for endangering you. It's crazy that sort of thing can just happen, but it's absolutely realistic having been through it.
Big Money Salvia on Internet Comment Etiquette makes full on short films for his ad reads. They are pretty great.
I recently learned this is called the Grocer's Apostrophe.
Years ago, a buddy got me going to his gym so he could show me the ropes. He'd been lifting most of his life and I really trusted him. It was the sort of gym where people go to do serious work. A lifter's lifting gym. Everyone there looked so serious and were pressing so much weight. I have never been that sort.
But they were all incredibly kind to me. Helped me when they thought I needed it. Never in a demeaning way. Any bad vibes I got from them was pretty much on me.
Those were really cool times. The gym would shut down about two years later and I haven't really gone to a gym since.
Pretty sure I specifically heard someone say [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker].
5500 yen. Console only, no accessories. I was blown away, figured I misread the label and it was broken. Nope, works perfectly.
Ooh, I actually bought one of these recently. Beautiful machine.
It's actually got a huge area of land called The Great Dismal Swamp. Lots of park land and wilderness in rural Virginia. Someone from the area may be able to weigh in on it. I passed through years ago and the name struck me as hilarious.
Adorable!
Rehired with all my previous tenure benefits with the added raise they would have given me had I been around when they gave out raises.
