Gorth Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Trolling coworkers from home by sending Imperium Thoughts for the Day via the OS broadcasting (wall).Anyone turn in any heretics? Sadly no, just people emailing saying "Is $my_name screwing around with the servers again?". Curses Reminds me of a time when I just *had* to try this rwall thing. Guess what, it worked. Got a lot of funny responses from the Norwegian university where I ran it...

ManifestedISO Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Picked up a few bottles of local brewery Stone's collaboration with the awesome Wil Wheaton: Stone Farking Wheaton w00tstout Sounds like an intriguing concoction: "an imperial stout brewed with pecans, wheat and rye, partially aged in bourbon barrels." I'm not much of a hops addict, but this might be how it starts, at 13% ABV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=axoBntixfm0 1 All Stop. On Screen.

Walsingham Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Yeah. I'd pitch it a different way and say: You know how much fun you've been having with this one? then coming home afterwards and contemplating that fun on your own in peace and quiet... It's a winning formula. Don't mess with it. Terms and conditions apply. Walsingham is a lonely old bastard. The value of Walsingham's advice may go down as well as up. 1 "It wasn't lies.

ManifestedISO Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Wait, I just saw Craig Ferguson, a Scot, interview Sir Anthony Hopkins, whom I believed to be English, but no, turns out, a Welshman. My ancestry is from the highlands ... no wonder I can't believe the southern accent. All Stop. On Screen.

I never focused on your profile picture before. I love Jon Stewart, the man is a genius. I assume you heard about the Egyptian equivalent to him Bassem Youssef. http://www.salon.com/2013/06/22/egypts_jon_stewart_interviews_jon_stewart_in_cairo/ Bassem has taken a huge risk to his person well being by creating a TV series like the Daily Show, this show is one of the most popular in the Middle East.

Azdeus Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I listened to "The internet if for porn" yesterday, and the damn song just will not get out of my head. I dreamt of it.

Raithe Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Found out a friend didn't get a job they were interviewed for.. because they failed a credit check. I mean, how the hell does a credit check cover if you're skilled and capable for doing a job? And if you get the job, you can actually earn a living to pay off the bills... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Gfted1 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 That's not unusual. I had to pass a credit check back in 96' for my current job. At that time, the logic was that I would occasionally have to make business purchases on my personal credit cards, to be reimbursed with an expense report of course. I think it also displays to employers a certain level of responsibility of potential employees. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

I think it also displays to employers a certain level of responsibility of potential employees. I can understand it if the job directly relates to financial matters and all that, but it really sucks because I know their issue with credit checks is because of medical bills they've had to pay over the last few years. So it becomes a real bastard of a circle to get back to a good job to successfully pay things off when they won't hire you because...

Gfted1 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Sounds like a Catch 22. Just curious, but in what situations are Brits expected to pay their own medical bills? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
