Only UHD? That is so last decade. I expect FUHD (8K) to be on the agenda for next year. I'm gonna have to have a serious talk with Betty about this. The dirtiness deserves to be seen in the highest resolution possible.

these things are really funny

when i studied, they told us that the human eye can't see resolution beyond 300 dpi

when they designed things, they showed people and asked "can you see any dots"

they stopped trying for a very long time when people said that they couldn't see dots

then an asian firm released higher resolution purely as a gimmick

but if you ask ppl which they prefer, they'll say "the fuhd one"

ask why and ppl say "dunno, i just like it"

it's the vibe

g'night

i just mowed a month or so ago

you might remember that the bloody thing took me almost 4 minutes

Oh, the hardships you face.
Living near the beach
Exotic animals roaming through your yards
Down under hoochie mamas

I feel so, soooo bad for you.
Not only did I have to mow solo today but I had to pick up 2 rogue firework debris thingys that were laying in my yard. Not 1……2. Lucky my entire property didn’t blow up and burn to the ground.

Itsy Bitsy little bit of what May, or may not have been a “frost” like material kinda, sort of, on some exotic, leafy vegetation and you fall apart.

Spare me….my foot hurts….from mowing all alone….

Only 2? Your neighbors are clearly a bunch of slackers.
And the assault has been going on all week. Tonight's attack is just getting started.

This year was tame compared to the past. But it was still pretty crazy. Big empty field across the road from me..(future home of the Sarpy county museum).. and over night a huge fireworks retail tent popped up. It was packed all day on the 4th and tons of people were walking there from our subdivision. You just know when all the neighborhood has crap to set off that your in for a loud, long night. It went on till well after midnight………my alarm goes off at 2:30…..
You do the math.

Aerial fireworks are illegal , unless you’re licensed here, but you would never know it. Starts at Thanksgiving and peaks at New Year’s.
Why do you get up at 2:30?

I didn’t realize that shiplap was still in demand. Or, do you restock now?

Shiplap died…thank god.
I do 2 nonstop hours of forklift work. Once the doors open and the riff raff start coming in it’s slower and harder to do equipment work. At 4am I put the pedal to the metal and get more done than I will the rest of the day.

Not to tattle but…
Nobody helped me mow my lawn.
Had to do it all by myself.
Wanna know why?
Can sum it up in 3 words…


Bastards
Is one of the words bewbs?

I was having buyer's remorse after a recent purchase. I got notification of delivery today... But the photo wasn't my address

I contacted temu and they refunded it. They also said that if mysterious neighbour is nice and corrects it to just keep it

Do you run a narrow aisle/stand-up or regular forklift?
I guess you have dumb azz people that walk past the barricades and spotters into the work area too?

I drive both but 90% of my time is spent on a regular forklift.
And yes, dumbasses move the blockers and walk right in.
I’m not on a lift all day because I’ve got other things to do but I probably spend 50% of my time on equipment.

Somehow, I know in my heart, this is a step-child. Soon to be unemployed, after calling me a bitch for asking him to finish the delivery and not drop the packages in the public lobby. Yea, wrong guy to give attitude to. I can only hope he has a loan on the van. Had to prove to him just who the bitch really is.

yes

customer centric also means frequently regarded as one of the worst employers. The low paid overworked driver will be treated accordingly

knuckles...

don't make me discuss the intricacies of melbourne weather

i have wings in the air fryer

Have I ever mentioned how much my wife and daughter hate heat? They hate it….can’t tolerate it.
Have I mentioned that they arranged a trip next week for the 3 of us?
Where do you think these 2 heat intolerant people decided to go?
Go ahead…..guess.

Las Vegas

Middle of the f@&king desert in the middle of f@&king July.

Did I mention it was 120 degrees there Sunday?

Good times……

We have a couple loose meat sandwich places here that we like and we make our own version that is pretty tasty. Our homemade version uses a can of cream of chicken. Cream of mushroom works as well and in my opinion both are better than a red sauce but options are pretty endless and you can use whatever trips your trigger.

It’s 115 degrees now, so trending down?

Stay in the casino/resort and gamble or eat your way through this. Will you be on the Strip or downtown?

We’ll be on the strip. I can take the heat….up to a point. Very little gambling will happen. I’ll probably donate $20 or so. This trip is for them as I really have no Vegas desire. Having done trade shows for 25+ years I’ve been to Vegas well over 100 times. For many years at the fall codex trade show I would be there from Halloween to thanksgiving. Then I would be back in January for another yearly show then another 6-8-10 times a year depending on what cities were the hot trade show cities that year. Vegas, Orlando, New York, Chicago, Miami, Boston, Philly…etc…over and over. It was fun the first 10 years or so but constant travel, airports, hotels and eating every meal out or in a hotel gets old.
