Things That Amuse You

Does that even slow them down at all?!?!

[steff]

Doesn't seem like they notice. Maybe it's a light load for them.

Lots of folks love old woodworking machines and would happily rehab that jointer. Not for $75 bucks though. That pic is a classic.

I wonder what my 99 SC Superlight would go for? I upgraded the fork to a Fox 32 if that makes a difference. And put hydraulic disc brakes on. The bike lives at my Dad’s place in Sandpoint and I ride it when I visit every year. I figure it’s worth more to me than anyone would pay for it, plus I don’t have to box and ship my newer bike Both ways

Militant pro-lifers who are also militant anti-maskers. How dare you make your own decisions about what to do with your body? How dare you tell them what they can do with their body?

^^^ Truth. Although I'm not sure I'm amused by it, this belongs equally in the shit that annoys you thread or the shit that should get people kicked in the sack thread.

Ms Boissal was holding a chicken (the white one) so I could file her beak which is crooked and needs regular maintenance. 10 seconds into it another bird jumps on my arm. 10 seconds later she's being used as a perch and they're pecking at her head:

you should’ve listened to the wife ya beater



common on Sonora and Ebbetts Passes too

My wife was in a car driving over a pass in India. A truck had broken down and was blocking one lane, but traffic in both directions tried to go through on the other lane, nobody would back down, gridlock ensued. Most of the other drivers were truck drivers as well. They all got out of their trucks and started brewing tea. Eventually the solution was that a bunch of guys managed to push the truck off the road.

The New Yorker has suspended reporter Jeffrey Toobin for masturbating on a Zoom video chat between members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio last week. Toobin says he did not realize his video was on.

“I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers,” Toobin told Motherboard.

“I believed I was not visible on Zoom. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video,” he added.

[old goat]

Toob(in) bad. {sorry]. He's an excellent writer and commentator. likely neither the first nor the last.

[glademaster]

I bet everyone on that Zoom call wishes they had just picked up the telephone instead.

It's hilarious that he's really only apologizing for being an idiot and getting busted, not for the actual jerking off in the middle of a conference call part. If you're even contemplating the idea of jerking off during a conference call you need to go take a long, hard look in the mirror because your head is not right.

Says you.

On the contrary, it's hard to think of a more appropriate activity to do during a conference call. Isn't jerking off what most people do at meetings--at least the ones whose minds aren't somewhere else altogether.

I don't get making it public though. Suspend him, sure. No need to announce it.

Multi-tasking is part of our work culture now.

Right, since most meetings are a figurative jerk session, why not actually jerk.

[muted]

It is one way to get a raise at work.

I've felt compelled to do many unspeakable things on conference calls, but jerking off was never one of them. But, please, if you do get caught jerking off on a conference call, the appropriate apology is "I'm sorry I jerked off during a conference call" not "I'm sorry my technological ineptitude led to you witnessing me jerking off during a conference call."

I really don’t see what’s so hard about that.

Disagree. Always go with the 2nd one.

At least they waited till completion of the call for it to come out.
