“Due to the continued denial for training and commensurate pay increases which were part of the employment agreement, I have chosen to explore other options. I am providing 4 weeks notice to allow time for a replacement to be found.”
Before the day was done my mamager walked me out of the building with the agreement they would pay me for the 4 weeks but I did not have to come back to the office.
Jumped out of the fish tank.
The Event Horizon fan theory may not even be a fan theory, and is instead confirmed thanks to screen writer Philip Eisner commenting on Twitter in 207 that “I played the sh*t out of 40K, so it was definitely an influence, conscious or otherwise.” Writers who went on to work at Games Workshop to help shape the universe returned the favor, with an attempt to name drop the ship in one of the game’s official codexes, but the U.K.-based company stopped it from seeing print. Still, it’s a comment straight from the twisted mind behind the film that the classic tabletop miniatures game’s gothic setting had an impact on the film.

There’s also Arabic derived from the Phoenician alphabet same as Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, and Hebrew.
And written languages descended from Sanskrit such as Hindi, Nepali, and Punjabi.
I guess when you’re all in on crazy… I got nothing to finish that with.
Thank you for reminding me this exists!
Who is still paying the hosting fees for this?
Experts Exchange is still one of my favorite early URL blunders.
expertsexchange.com got inquiries they were not expecting.
Another fun one was The Pen Is Mightier.
penismightier.com didn’t always attract writers.
Every time they whinge about leaving if they get taxed and they actually do get taxed, they stay. Because it’s hard to move your fortune off of the source.
Younger than Star Wars but older than the first flight of a concorde.
Libertarians not even building Rapture yet and they’re going full Gattaca? How gauche.
Aliens Earth is pretty good so far.
Add a splash of lime and a salted rim to make suero.
Add lime with muddled mint for fauxjitos.
That app is awesome!
Midwest Native Plant Society is a good resource for going with native plants.
Depending on the drainage in your yard some rain gardens or dry creek beds might be an idea for filling some of the bare patches.
Clover and walkable thyme (wooly and several other varieties out there would work) are good for walking areas. Clover is fairly easy to get started replacing grass: just overseed it in the fall, seed on top of the last snow of winter, and overseed again in the spring. I have 3 or 4 types of thyme in my yard that look great in their little spots but could easily be planted and allowed to spread into ground cover.
Sedum/stonecrop is great drought resistant ground cover that looks cool. If you have enough shade: consider moss for less trafficked areas.
I’ve used Sedum Tiles in several gardens around our yard and the walkway up to our house. They grown in well and will spread out well.
I’ll try to remember to take some pictures when I get home.
When did their music get so political?

It is something I’ve seen asked.
Lot of good suggestions.
I would add wet dry shop vac for cleaning big messes of all kinds.
Lizzie Borden took an ax
And gave her mother forty whacks,
And when she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.
I do think it depends heavily on inflection.
It’s got to have that friendly familiar drawn out “fuuuuuuck you” that connotes “yes, you’re right”, “I disagree”, and “fuck you” simultaneously.
Yes!
That place was so toxic. Getting out of there by itself was necessary. Getting paid to search for my next job was a cherry on top.
