OG, did you listen to music in the OR? If so, who picked?

I did, unless my wife was the circulator, in which case she picked. I would have been happy to have someone else pick but nobody besides her ever tried. I was big on weird stuff--African music, Irish music, alt country. Lively stuff keeps cases moving along. "Calming" music is annoying.

I think this is an artifact of the book binding process. Think about folding a piece of paper in half, that gets you four pages. If your content is only two pages, you have two blank pages.

For old school binding, you couldn't just cut that piece of paper in half because you had to stitch through the fold into the binding. For a modern glue binding, I assume this is not an issue and you just have the exact number of pages you need.

I didn't know book binding affected PDFs. I figure it was because some engineer that was editing a document couldn't figure out how to delete a blank page so typed "this page intentionally blank" because with no text it was fucking up the document. The next person to proof read it thought "Oh, ok" and left it.

I'd guess they had a file prepped for printing and someone said "hey, we need to throw that on our website" and they just exported a PDF. Obviously no reason for blank pages in a digital file otherwise.

I'm just assuming you have a manual or something like that where a designer was involved. The printing thing doesn't apply if you're looking at Uncle Bob's manifesto

How long is this longshoremen strike gonna last? I've got a container that was supposed to hit Jersey on Thursday and another one next week.

People around here heard the news and are rushing the supermarket like it’s 2020. Is TP and pasta going to be unobtanium again?

Christ.

Virtually all of the TP you see on shelves is made in American plants from American and Canadian wood.

To answer your question we'd have to ask ILA Union President Harold Daggett, pictured here (lookers left) next to a U.S. politician (lookers right), how long he plans to in his own words "cripple" the United States.

So you're saying it's not good?

[MultiVerse]

None of it is good, but when there's a port problem other types of fortified wines, like sherry or vermouth can make bad news more palletable

Any lawyer dentists in the house?

I had a back molar crowned 7 months ago. I specifically asked for gold since it’s not visible, and by some sources cited as the longest lasting material. Also, bling.

I was miserable when they did the work, never looked at the work they did because it sucked and took months for the sensitivity to lessen to where it doesn’t bug me. Only to finally take a close look at it yesterday to see a bright white porcelain crown.

Unsure what to do. Let it slide? Call Saul?

Well did they charge you extra for gold? If not, and if it's not visible, spend your time looking for another dentist instead of worrying about what's already done. Seems like gold would conduct heat and cold more efficiently, and thus be more sensitive, anyways. Possibly.

[Cisco Kid]

Gold molars may be covered by porcelain. Porcelain alone is not strong enough for a molar. So google sez.

Is Beers really plural of Beer?

I understand: "I drank 10 beers last night"

But not: "are you bringing beers?"

Clearly you are not very redneck

[old goat]

It depends on the form in which the beer is transported. If the beer is in a keg or kegs, "beer" is appropriate. If cans or bottles, either is appropriate, although "beers" makes it clear that the beer is not in a keg or kegs and so might be preferred as less ambiguous. If in doubt, bring drugs instead.

Naw, I'm the engineer that couldn't fix the document and said Fuck it.

Question for the lawyers in the house: friend of mine got a DUI back in March. Paid a lawyer $6k who then did a poor job and gave bad advice (this is according to another friend of mine who is a prosecutor in DUI cases) which led to more charges. I think we've taken care of the subsequent charges but what is the next step with the attorney? Prosecutor friend said to file a Bar complaint, but I get the feeling that friend 1 would rather have the $6k back then to get "justice."

Does she reach out to the attorney, explain situation and say shes going to file a bar complaint or would like the money back? Or would the attorney just double down and prepare to fight and going straight to bar is the better option? Not looking for legal advice of course, just perspective from attorneys.

An update; wrote a letter to the attorney and outlined all of the ways that he failed to do his job, and how that cost her time, money and frustration (no threats of bar action). He wrote back saying that he disagreed…and then refunded her the money. My assumption is that no attorney in the world is going to refund money unless they know they fucked up.
