Doing this is the kind of advice Boston Consulting Group would give shortly before Citadel cellar boxes your company.

It's a seriously bad idea. pay shit, get shit employees. It will see OP's company providing shit service, cost more in both turnover and having to fix the shit that their shit employees shat all over, as well as driving customers away.

It's also immoral.

just gonna say... barn cats are the best cats.

grandma had a barn cat that lived in her pipe organ's pipes. Pinky would pop out and watch people, and usually come down to say 'hi', at least to me, but she was quite old and frequently grumpy with "others",

(... yes. you read that right. My grandma teaches organ and piano, and until a while ago, she had a 'rescued' pipe organ in her garage. It's since been donated and restored to a proper home.)(Don't judge Grandpa kept a still in the back of his barn. I remember after he passed we were helping clear out his barn, 'what's this?!' 'Oh. that's grandpa's still.'.... was a rather awkward conversation.)

So, many vets will provide a free check up for rescues. Possibly including vaccines and things.

Whoever this was is a right asshole. Thanks for redeeming humanity for the rest of us.

and that could have potentially been what caused to crash and burn or burn and crash. choices choices.

anyhow... I'm thinking they want to be home right now, but maybe not riding on a boeing.

"I dunno. I suck at this. what do you think?"

don't do that at the cheap joints.... but otherwise it usually sets up a good discussion.

protip, if you're wanting a men's style... go to a barber. usually less expensive, and usually much better at men's style. (Also, most barbers don't care if your a man or woman or non binary. they still won't charge you extra the same way a stylist will charge some one passing as a woman women's rates for the same thing. it's pretty absurd.)

Halloween is the best holiday.

No. no. really.

name another Halloween where it's socially acceptable to go out in public dressed in your favorite costume, or just your PJ's, even.

well, i suppose that's a decent thing to do.

i mean, it saves somebody I probably don't hate from having to change his diapers. like the generic staffers around him.

yeah. nobody ever gets anything done after lunch on fridays.

It's like a rule or something.

And those idiot managers that schedule meetings on fridays get dumped in the river. that's also a rule.

that's not why.

The bibles are donated in a feeble attempt to convert the "wicked". In any case, mostly the free-bible programs are a grift scamming the well-meaning people who donate funds for it. The bibles aren't quite that expensive, and the people soliciting the donations are taking a cut. The grift offers 'feel good' vibes with little effort to the donors.

same as the people selling tracts for people to hand out, really. The tracts are useless. nobody ever saw a tract and was like "WOW I'm a heathen! I should repent!" (at most, people get a chuckle before littering on the street corner.) but the people selling the tract make a lot of money.

fun fact: the typical gideon bible isn't a complete bible. Cuts out a lot of the "And god smote that asshole for being an asshole," and "God smokte that asshole because he smote his brother, and the guy refused to get his brother's wife prego"; also the child rape. the genocide. the collecting foreskins. Oh, and the other genocide. The incest. And that other-other genocide. and. uh. well. basically all the stuff that's likely to get people to go "huh. that's pretty fucked up."

Hooo?

 
 

Saw this going to a friend’s house- they bagged the fire hydrants….one thought was snow; but this is the first year apparently. And snow has been a mild issue this year compared to most.

 

Snow on Thursday.

so drop 'em if you got 'em

 

Double, double Toil and Trouble; Fire burn and Cauldron boil.
and the finished soup:

 

Okay, so I was making chicken soup from stock I had made using a (lightly,) browned carcus and neck. just before dumping the the dumplings into it, the stock's color was a nice light brown. I added about 1/4 cup of lemon juice, turned my back for 30 seconds after a stir and it turned it an almost milky-off white. Eventually it deepened to this:

It's delicious, and tastes as expected, I'm just curious as to what happened in the broth's chemistry?

Seasoned with salt (duh), a sprig of thyme, some ginger and garlic, (just a hint of ginger,) black pepper, lemon zest (which was added with the torn chicken,) and white wine deglazed the pot from browning the dark meat.

The stock was from garlic, onion, celery, carrot and maybe ginger scraps cooked with the chicken carcass..

 

Due to reasons... I've "adopted" a CR10s that a friend had bought. It was used, and was already well on it's way to being a janky Printer of Theseus. My hope is to get it up and running and put through it's paces before the holidays so I can give it back as a gift.

With the linear rail upgrades, I picked up the hardware and it's on it's way; which got me looking at how to do the upgrade, which I have mostly figured out; the question I'm having is, most upgrades seem to place the rails on 2020 extrusions sitting on top of the base frame- same as how the original y axis 2040's were designed.

Which raises the question- why not lower it so the 2020 rails are even with the frame, with the mgn12 rail sitting on top? Like so:

The short answer I came to is this would necessitate replacing the brackets for the y stepper motor and it's idler; but it should be possible. the easiest solution would be something like:

which raises the question: are printed parts rigid enough to hold against the tension on the belts? The motors can't handle too much tension anyhow, and the printer already has the screw-cap tensioners for x and y printed that seem to have been holding up well.

has anybody replaced the OG metal bracket on the back? does it stress and need replacing often, or is it fairly reliable (and above all, consistent,)
