One of my dogs tore her ACL

Other than the two Fletch movies and Three Amigos!, I think Modern Problems is the Chevy Chase movie that I have the fondest memories of. Telekinetic powers, how cool! Though for some reason I keep thinking he was in Real Men but that was Ritter and Belushi. I should probably give that a rewatch.

When I was in the military it worked like this, if you passed the class with a C or D (I forget which) or better they'd pay for it and if didn't make the grade or you failed then you'd be footing the bill. This was tuition assistance though and not a scholarship and you were limited on how much you could have them spend on you in a single year but it was their way of ensuring that we had skin in the game

You got me there

I'm way too excited about a new Fletch movie

My best professor and class was probably business ethics if for no other reason than he played this clip the first day of class.

DOJ reveals redacted affidavit justifying Trump Mar-a-Lago raid

Yeah, seeing a lot of conflicting articles. Even rumors Apple and a few others are/were interested.

I don't kink shame but I don't like liars in my party

Supposedly Amazon is trying to buy EA. Just a rumor, I think.

They had me until open world survival mmo

Me too, I've finished Dragonspear a few times but was never able to finish BG1 even once. It didn't help that I played the second game first.

Putting out fires at work

I made tacos and a huge batch of salsa for dinner last night. My wife doesn't normally like when I do ground meat tacos (I like it because it's fast and easy) but the Krogers here does a pork and beef blend that she's a huge fan of. Right now I'm craving a spicy chicken sandwich

I suppose it's better than Japanese corporate culture. Not that it makes it good but things can always be worse. She was actually always trying to enforce fairness. She had a kid or two really young or something and it was hard for her to get ahead because she couldn't put in the 70+ hours her coworkers could. She enforced a strict 8 hour day and a not a minute more. We still had overachievers, somehow I was one, but we were all competing on a more level playing field since you generally had to actually be more efficient rather than having more time to devote to work. I have had some real bastards for bosses too.

I had a supervisor who had a sign on her door that said fairness doesn't exist unless it's enforced. I hate using fair as an argument because life isn't fair. I don't actually have anything to add other than I still think quiet quitting is a dumb name

The Dollars trilogy were my favorite Westerns growing up (Westerns were huge in my family) but I don't think I've seen any of them in since I was a teen. The Re:View of The Good, the Bad, the Ugly made me want to rewatch them all.

Quiet quitting is a stupid name for wanting to just do your job.

The frontrunner is actually the Mustang Mach-E after all the test drives we've done. Elon Musk has kinda put me off Tesla but it's still an option. Lucid and a bunch of others are more than I'm looking to spend.

Spent the day looking at electric vehicles.

It's generally recommended to add a little water to Scotch to open it up but I still drink it neat or a drop of water or tiny sliver of ice at most.

I drink it neat but I drink pretty much all liquor neat unless I'm making a mixed drink. This rum is much easier going down any other that I've tried because I can swig this one like I'm a pirate.
