Tej!

I had a coworker go on an insane rant about his hatred of EVs after somebody mentioned Teslas. I wound him up even more by saying I’m fine with EVs just not ones built by Nazis.

No, it wasn’t WMMS (unless my memory is even worse than I thought). It was a different station although I don’t remember which one. They called themselves “the End” (hence the song), maybe WEND? I dunno. They had that one DJ who had relocated from LA for the gig.

I stopped listening after that one Barenaked Ladies song started getting played once an hour. “It’s been” had me changing the channel so fucking fast it even happened when it was used in their promos. Good god do I hate that fucking song.

obviously the product of too much booze, coke, and resultant self-confidence

And that’s exactly how Toto got the gig doing the soundtrack for the 1984 version of Dune.

A radio station where I grew up (Cleveland) switched formats to alternative/grunge/whatever in 1990 or 1991 and they kicked this off by playing that song over and over for three straight days. It was a surreal experience to hear it on the radio every time I went to drive anywhere. For me, this was the real moment the '90s began (the other contenders being the premiers on MTV of “Groove is in the Heart” and “Smells Like Teen Spirit”).

Apparently many stations all over the country switched formats the same way, by playing “End of the World as We Know It” over and over again.

I had a friend whose mom was a severe gambling addict. We visited them in Lake Charles and we got to stay in a free suite and ate for free at the buffet every night, thanks to the mom’s status at the casinos. My friend told me that her mom had lost approximately $500,000 in total, and this was a woman that made $25 an hour as a nurse. That’s about 10 years of career earnings totally pissed away.

The US was founded on action

Yes, the action of losing and running away, repeated until the enemy got tired of beating and chasing us.

I actually suspect they’re all handjob stores but I dunno.

Based on Hollywood’s current casting priorities, it would have to be a Subaru.

And Marty would have to be played by Zendaya. With Pedro Pascal as Doc.

Not quite the same timeframe, but that clip of the surviving members of The Doors listening to Skrillex is one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen.

I have a wall oven that’s a couple months old and it preheats very rapidly. Unfortunately, it seems to achieve this by just lying about what temperature it’s at. It’s consistently 50°F to 75°F below the set temperature, as measured by a separate oven thermometer. The manufacturer anticipated this potential problem by including a boldface section in the manual saying not to use oven thermometers because they’re “wildly inaccurate”. Oh the irony of an electric oven using gaslighting.

For bonus points, even when the oven reaches the set temperature (which I now set higher than what I theoretically need) it doesn’t bother to maintain that temperature, so I have to frequently turn the oven off and then back on again just to cook something properly. Once again ironically, this was the reason I replaced the old oven. Fortunately it was only $2500.

“Use OpenAI to maintain an ongoing conversation with your elders so you don’t have to” would be more honest.

I would believe something like “hey AI, which of the massage parlors near me are really handjob stores?”

I was using my mom’s computer the other day and I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t seeing any ads on her browser. Then I remembered that I had installed uBlock origin for her. I love when past me does current me a solid. I’ve also told her that she can go on Faceborg if she wants but I will not help her with it in any way (I can’t since I haven’t been on it since 2008). She tells people I “refuse to let her use it” which is not strictly accurate but I feel pride anyway when she says that.

I think his strategy was to tell his bosses he had run out of fuel and wouldn’t be able to make the rest of his deliveries. But I dunno, the articles about this never said what his thought process was. I drive past this station twice a day and the stink from it was horrible. 8000 gallons is a lot of fucking gas.

This reminds me that years ago I was friends with a bunch of Red Bull girls. Their job was to pick up the Red Bull mini-cooper, fill it with cases of Red Bull and then drive around handing out free samples wherever people were while being attractive. They were very good at the being attractive part, but most days they would just drive to the river, dump the cases of Red Bull in it, and then go home and get high. Their bosses suspected something like this was going on and gave them all Windows Mobile PDAs that tracked their location by GPS. I checked out the tracking app (I was a Windows Mobile developer at the time) and it turned out it just logged their GPS coordinates once an hour into a plain text file. I showed them how to edit the file to make it look like they were driving around – just doing my part saving at least some people from trying fucking Red Bull.

Eh, if the public has all been replaced by AI, they won’t have money to go anywhere.

Just a couple of years ago in my neighborhood a truck driver was arrested because he offloaded 4000 gallons of gasoline at a gas station, then ran the hose down an embankment next to the station and pumped the remaining 8000 gallons into a creek. He did this because he wanted to go home and didn’t feel like making the rest of his stops. He apparently thought nobody would notice; for bonus points this was right next to a charter school which had to be evacuated while they cleaned up the mess.

He was arrested and sentenced to 20+ years in prison. This is the intelligence level that can get hired as a fuel truck driver (TBF I’m sure they’re not all that stupid).

Edit: just for funsies, the gas station where this happened recently rebranded as a “Freedom Fuel” station lol.
