SFWP: facebook Scrabble chat censors the word "cons"?  Is this some hip new slur I wasn't aware of?

just had to pay $10 to get a copy of a W-2 from a few years ago even tho i know i had downloaded or emailed myself a copy of it at least once, guess it lost in all my porn music.

I was on a 4 hour flight last week and they had the in-flight entertainment systems on the back of the seats. For some reason the flight information was not coming through to the panels. You might think that that's not a big problem, you can't see the flight details or whatever and I guess that's how it would be normally. But whoever was the asshat who designed this system designed it so that when you try to play any kind of content it checks how much flight time you have left and if the content is longer than the remaining flight time you can't play it. Also the system assumed that flight time is zero if there is no flight information available. So in combination of the flight information missing and the idiotic playback system all content was unplayable because everything is longer than 0 seconds. Gah.

Anyway, why the fuck would they even have this kind of flight time check? What if I want to start watching a movie on the first flight and continue on the connecting flight? Fuck this shitty design.

Maybe they just want you to stay positive?

Imgur censors "coons" which makes Maine coons look like "Maine [bleep]". Took me a while to realize what the original word was. Maine fuckers?

Got a new right leaning neoliberal local government replacing the left liberal one with the help of strategic votes from the far-right. Politics are gross

Really need to pee but this Swans song is 28 goddamn minutes long.  Also, only one 6 and a half minute song to go after that, and I'll have made it through a 2 hour album uninterrupted.  But I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to side with pee by the end of this song.  New project title: Side With Pee.  Warp will sign it based on name alone.

Did you learn nothing from your teen net-café counterstrike days? (I'm assuming you went through the same type of phases as me).

Reverse camel-piss-pack. No need to get up.

Doubles up as a hot water bottle.

It was Quake for me.  I fantastize about being into bottles a lot, especially on road trips.  But I never act on it.  Peeing out windows is another big one.

you can do it again. just for old times' sake. : )

At first, the ATM pulls in my card excruciatingly slooooow (most un-IDM 2020), then when I'm finally able to withdraw €150, it spits out 2 x €20, 1 x €10, and 1 x €100 -- in that freaking order! WTF! Why can't it sort the bills correctly by size/value, so that I don't have to reshuffle them before I can put them in my wallet? I swear, it's things like that ...

Later, I find some money on the street, but it's just one measly Cent. "Thanks", I guess.

That reads like a statement from someone going to buy drugs

I made misir wat (Ethiopian red lentils) and injera (flat bread) for the first time...sorta. But I botched the injera texture. I probably used way too much flour and it turned out more like a pancake, when it's supposed to be thinner, spongier, and more porous. But I did have it fermenting since Mon night, so at least I didn't skip that step. Just have to use proper yeast next time, since I didn't have any when I made the batter and used baking soda and lime juice instead as a substitute.

Otherwise the flavor was agreeable overall. Just ended up dishing the quasi-injera into a bowl, scooping the misir wat on top, and eating the whole thing with a spoon. Still works.

I was waiting for the bus today coming home from work and see two emergency vehicles speed pass, one ghost car and another cop car. The first car goes flying by the intersection. The second one, maybe 15 seconds later goes flying by the same way and this FUCKING stupid asian girl decides to cross the street at the same time. No accident or anything she's walking the same way the traffic is going but, come on! She's just assuming the second vehicle is going the same direction as first one. I mean what at a fucking retard. Everybody else has to stop, but not her, she must think she's special, like her life is so much more important.

Oh man, my neighbours are from Eritrea, they make some bomb ass injera. Got invited over to one of their coffee ceremonies - goddamn that is some good coffee.

FWP - the other day I learned that sounding is a thing. Can't unsee.

*googles “sounding”*

edit: oh dear 

Looks like I have plans this weekend. lol

Nice. AFAIK Eritrea was part of Ethiopia until 1993, following the country's civil war from 1974 to 1991.Obviously the Eritrean separatists got what they wanted in the end. But I digress. I actually ordered an electric mitad this morning on Amazon for cooking up injera. I hope to do my next batch better than the last one. And I want to make my own niter kibbeh (basically Ethiopian version of ghee), which is supposedly also useful as both a skin and coffee enhancer. I personally only got introduced to Ethiopian/Eritrean cuisine one month ago via a local restaurant, but it's already becoming one of my faves.

And now I regret doing a Google search on "sounding"...but thankfully no graphic images came up.

The sounding thing:

I guess it gets guys off if the thing is long enough to stimulate the prostate. I don't know how long that is though.

About two inches for me.
