Im terrible with small talk. I recently just got a customer facing job, which I had been trying to avoid, and it has honestly helped me a lot. I think like some others have said, conversation is a skill. The more you do it, the better you get. Here is an actual tip though - if you just let people yap about themselves, they will love you for it. I get tons of compliments on my customer service because people love talking about themselves and I don’t interrupt.

I can almost feel the definition of mellencamp replacing a childhood memory in my brain.

So the massive surplus of cybertrucks that have just been sitting for months are finally getting a buyer huh?

GTA San Andreas mission complete song.

My neighbor growing up had chickens and would bring us eggs all the time. One day, I was making boiled eggs with them and a couple of them were partially developed. I was around 12 at the time and I don’t think I ate eggs again till I lived on my own years later.

I was at a gas station one day, pumping my gas like normal when this lady came up to me. She was from New Jersey and visiting my state and had no idea how to pump her own gas. New Jersey doesn’t allow you to pump your own gas BTW. I talked her through it and she seemed genuinely freaked out by the whole experience, like she was afraid her car would just burst into flames as she pumped. She was an older lady too (maybe 50-60), but i guess she never traveled alone before and just hadn’t had to do it for herself. Nice lady though, she gave me 5 bucks for helping her out.

It was for the giants. Cultures across the world have myths of giants. If any of those myths are based in reality, these big shoes could have been for the descendants of the giants that have interbred with us humans over the ages. By the time of Hadrian’s wall these part giants would have been nothing more than large humans.

I had a cat that would get in the litter box, do her little ritual of scratching and pawing like most cats do. Then she would stick her but over the edge and squeeze one out on the floor next to her box. She would pee in the litter box but refused to poop in it. We tried all kinds of different box sizes and shapes, and nothing worked. We ended up just laying newspaper under the box for years. Goofy goober. Cat tax -

Bunch of fucking wanna be bad asses playing dress up just cracking each other up.

Speaking of, anyone else find it funny (read blatantly obvious) that you cant choose a tax amount this year on your W4? Used to be able to select withholding amount, now its just “We’ll figure it out for you”. I bet they were afraid of everyone marking 0 this year.

I use a different POS at work but has a similar issue. You can swipe down from the top of the screen just like a phone to see notifications but the swipe down spot is very small and not in the center. For me, its middle left of center. Maybe yours is similar?

I forget the name but there was/is an add on that obfuscates your data by clicking on every ad and searching random things in the background. Im sure something similar could be made for this.

Paying astronauts to bump uglies with tax dollars could cause a bit of a controversy.

Since you feel like quoting things is conducive to proper discusion:

Is it legal for a business in the United States to refuse cash as a form of payment?

There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.

Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled “Legal tender,” states: “United States coins and currency [including Federal Reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal Reserve Banks and national banks] are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues.” This statute means that all U.S. money as identified above is a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor.

Pennies only have to be accepted if there is a state law saying so. For example in California if a landlord refuses a cash payment (pennies or otherwise) then the tenant basically gets free rent that month. Businesses generally set their own rules as to what is accepted. Just like you see signs saying “No bills over $20” - 50’s and 100’s are legal tender, but they can refuse them just like a bucket of pennies can be refused.

Im sure OP knows what they are doing here but for those that don’t, be careful with capacitors. Especially larger ones like these and bigger as they can hold quite a charge for some time after being unplugged. I personally watched someone shock the shit out of themselves with this exact type of AC capacitors. They were showing someone corrosion on the terminals, bridged the connection and ended up putting his arm through a wall from the jolt.

Well, its obviously not my generation at fault. /s

Just don’t get a portable unit. They suck and are just a waste of money most of the times.

These are portables if you’re unfamiliar.

First movie that popped into my head was What Dreams May Come. Robin Williams goes through heaven and hell to try and save his wife’s soul. Great flick with some amazing visuals (especially for the time).
