	A few weeks into the new warehouse management system at work. I'm starting to figure out the ins and outs of the system, I'm pretty technically minded, so it comes pretty easy to me. The system has caused us a ton of problems, we are shipping out what seems like about half of the product we were under the old system, because it takes so much longer to go through the process, and issues with the setup means orders sometimes have to sit on the floor for days waiting for a single item. Incoming shipments are a mess, as they are trying to set everything up virtually as we were the first branch to go online, so all our stock from toronto is still being picked and shipped under the old system. So half of what we get isn't in the new system, we have orders the computer doesn't know about, and we are constantly manually adjusting stock. Its incredibly inefficient and most of the staff consider it a disaster. On the other hand, I find fixing all the issues in the system much more enjoyable than lifting boxes, so despite it being a complete disaster for the branch so far, my job satisfaction has gone up, and the higher ups have noticed how well I'm doing with it. My old boss that was transferred to Edmonton called me asking for advice on how the system works and how to properly set up his warehouse for the switch and mentioned that I have been noticed, so thats nice. Hopefully once all the bugs are worked out, everything is online, and we stop shelling out twice what we spend on long term staff on temps, I can get a raise.

	You know Grom, you do have another option that is a viable candidate and on the ballot in all 50 states this year. Only three candidates can say that. Given your line of work that 3rd option might even be attractive. Yes the odds are long, but they are not zero and good things can come even from a loss this time. Just sayin'. our certainty that trump won't win needs be absolute before we consider voting for a 3rd party candidate. we marveled when folks acted as if sanders supporters and sanders himself giving clinton their support was some kinda mortal sin. "how could you?" how? why? 'cause the freaking alternative is trump. duh. if our voting 3rd party has any chance o' resulting in a trump presidency, we would be irresponsible in doing so. the good news is that trump will be able to accomplish virtual 0 o' his domestic goals. everything he wants to do is either blatant unconstitutional, or is a job for Congress or individual States. trump will be impotent, particularly as he is Not a consensus building candidate. liberals will be unified 'gainst him, and he is gonna split conservatives. doomed. bad news is that once trump discovers that his domestic efforts is stymied by his own nature and by the federal system itself, he will possible become more concerned with foreign affairs. the President has broad powers when dealing with foreign nations, and regardless o' what some believe, the US is still the most powerful economic and military force on the planet. trump as President scares us. he should scare you too. 3rd party? sure, just so long as chance o' trump victory is zero. HA! Good Fun! Foreign affairs and immigration are the only things I support trump on, and they happen to be the things he would actually have power over.

	I really feel bad for Americans this year. Hillary is everything everyone hates about politicians, Trump at first looked like a genius playing everyone, but now looks like he has no idea what he's doing, Gary Johnson is an establishment globalist pretending to be a libertarian, Jill Stein is an anti science feelz before reelz leftist. If I were American I would probably be voting Constitution party at this point.

	To be fair, I doubt a lot of left leaning sources are going to roast Politifact for being biased in favour of them.

	I really liked the boot camp part of FMJ, but once they got to nam it was much less interesting.

	Trump needs to post a selfie with it on twitter with it wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat.

	Well, Fallout 4 was a shooter, maybe the next Fallout title will be an RPG!

	The boy has gotten into Minecraft. Now its all he wants to do. Him and his sister take turns tormenting each other by destroying what they have built. Its much more malicious than breakung a lego creation because you can't use the "it was an accident" excuse when systematically destroying a minecraft creation.

	hopefully means a deal on DLC for those of us who couldn't wait.

	Mostly Globe and Mail, National Post, and Breitbart now. Used to use CBC and HuffPo but they have gotten less and less useful as news sources and are more sources of attacking men and white people.

	Off the top of my head, I feel Silent Hill, WarCraft, Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider, Need For Speed, Doom and Mortal Kombat are better video game adaptations. Nope. The original Resident Evil beats every one of them. That is why they are on number 6. It's embarrassing, really. Milla Jovovich has managed to be better than Jake Gyllenhaal, Angelina Jolie, The Rock, Timothy Olyphant, and all the other people that have taken a hack at a video game movie. She's a goddess. I think a lot of people forget how good the original was. Plus it was a good step ahead of the whole zombie craze that has been going on for the last decade. No knock on Jovovich, she is one badass lady, but I just think the movies aren't very good. The first one was watchable but I disliked watching all of the others. Also have you seen Tomb Raider lately? I feel that movie improved with age. You know how sometimes you watch a bad 80's movie and it just feels nostalgic and fun because it's so wonderfully 80's? Tomb Raider became that for the horrible movies of the 90's. I hated it when it first came out but I watched it again recently and what was just bad and derivative when it came out almost seems campy and tongue in cheek. I haven't seen either of the Hitman movies. I heard the sequel was abysmal, but I'll check this one out. I've never played the games so I doubt I'll get much out of it. Its how I felt about Batman and Robin. When it came out it was terrible, but watching it now, it was terrible on purpose. The puns, Robin leaving a nightwing symbol shaped hole in the wall when he busts through. Batman picking up a giant chuck of iced Robin and thawing him with a pen laser. Its just so much cheesy campy fun.

	Of course the worrying thing about immortality is the old Murphey's Law problem - in that you will eventually get stuck somwhere you cannot escape from.. for the rest of eternity.In Planetary (warren ellis comic) there was a super team made up of homages to Tarzan, the Shadow/Green Hornet, Fu Manchu, Doc Savage and others that accidentally tore a hole into another universe and they collapsed their headquarters to seal the breach. The Doc Savage homage was immortal and his legs were trapped under rubble. When he was found like 60 years later his legs had completely atrophied and he was wheelchair bound.

				Games you want that'll likely never exist

Single player Warcraft RPG. Basically just take World of Warcraft and do up a single player experience. Save on art assets, just balance combat for single player, and spend a couple years crafting a story, sidequests, scripted events, etc. - 
	as an alternative, we suggest ac/dc's "highway to hell"... on bagpipes. HA! Good Fun!

	The girl is turning 8 tomorrow. Taking her to the Catfe (a cafe crawling with cats) to have pastries and engage with felines. She wore her kitty dress, with kitty leggings, and her brother promptly sprayed her with the hose.

	My only concern with WWs setting is Steve Trevor crashed his plane on Themyscera, WW1 wasn't exactly known for its long range fighter planes was it?

	I love that they managed to fit the tiara and wristbands

	It just keeps getting better IMO. Also: Wild Cards TV Series

	Jeremy Irons is the best Alfred. He has the sophistication of Michael Gough, and the Father-figure-ness of Michael Caine, but then also has some grit so you can totally believe he was SAS at some point.

	You're trying to make a joke, I think? But you're only confusing me. It's funny how liberals axt like they support the homosexuals, yet their first go to insult is implying homosexuality on their opponent. Haven't you heard? Gays got their marriage rights so they moved down the progressive stack. Now they are just misogynists because they refuse to sleep with women.

	My understanding was the programmers were working on bugfixing and whatever real expansion they have in the pipeline, while they had a bunch of artists not doing anything, so they did some cosmetic DLC. It's overpriced, but adds quite a bit of art assets.

	Who's Darrell Castle and why have I not heard of him?

	Ex Machina - Slow, but interesting, with a pretty decent ending. Mad Max - 2 hour car chase, and thats not a bad thing. Terminator - Didn't see Tomorrowland - Surprisingly decent. Chappie -Its basically Robocop mixed with Short Circuit 2. Chappie was a fantastic and endearing character, surrounded by terrible people trying to influence him. Definitely worth a watch.
