YouTube seems to have a temper tantrum on Android when Google preferences are set to disable web activity.
Look, you've got all of the YouTube videos I've ever watched. I can see the list.
Stop being a baby and showing me women's shaper shorts ads over and over just because I don't want to you have all of my traffic everywhere.
Or, maybe my history of cover songs, car reviews, phone reviews, and retro computing tells you women's shaper shorts are my jam.
I just spent 30 minutes looming for a flagged email that was still flagged, but not showing in the flagged list where it was yesterday. berkeleying Microsoft....
The people in charge and media keep calling this a "merger" but for all intents and purposes, it's a damn acquisition.
I've been through an acquisition before and a few others here have, as well. Within a year of it being official and departments start "collaborating" across both companies, the company that was acquired will start seeing cuts and higher ups will bounce in droves.
Heard on the radio this morning that its okay for a person to use derogatory terms that pertain to their race/religion/gender/etc. This came up regarding a Hispanic celebrity's use of the N word in a social media post (in which she was evidently singing a lyric that uses the term), and that unless she has African American lineage, she can't say that.
Derogatory and offensive terminology is derogatory and offensive regardless of who says it. Stop making it okay.

It's worse now. Capital Blvd. is less aggravating.

Which merger are you going through? I'm going through one, too.
In reply to Brett_Murphy :
The telecom one.
The company has made it pretty clear if the merger doesn't happen, we're screwed. At the same time, renovations are happening and my dept is doing multiple large projects, so...yeah.
A customer comes in complaining that the big knobbly tires on his Chevy Silverado Trail Boss are noisy. One, maybe don't go 14k miles without rotating them (also hadn't changed the oil in the same amount of time) and two, maybe don't buy the Tiny Hootus Edition if you are worried about tire noise and aren't ever going to leave pavement with it.

DW has been going through a large chemical engineering / agricultural science one for the last 2 years... and it has gone down just like that. Which sucks, because all the bosses she has groomed and busted ass to show what a key player she is keep quitting or getting fired, and her office politics stock keeps getting reset back to near zero.

OMG. One of my bosses has a mall crawler JWU Rubicon like that. It is uncomfortable at best and deafening to ride in on the highway. He tends towards migraines... I am unsure why you would willingly subject yourself to that E36 M3.
I get it. You ask about my day not really caring what I'm going to say, its just an excuse for you to talk about whatever you did because I don't really care to ask you. This is why I don't engage you in conversation, because I suck at small talk AND I don't have any interesting things to report. You would think after several months of working on shift together, you might take the hint but apparently you can't STFU for FIVE minutes.
In the past 24 hours, I have received 23 spam calls on my cell phone. 90% of them come in between 7am and 7pm which is awesome because I work night shift and I am sleeping during that period. Even with 3 different spam call blocking apps on my phone, a few still manage to get through.
I have resorted to turning the ringer off. This is getting berkeleying ridiculous 
I hyperextended my left knee.
Riding a shopping cart.
Hnnnnngh I can barely walk.
I am a stupid, stupid 40 year old man.

My wife's ringer is always off, but she has it set so that if you call a second time within like 5 minutes it will actually ring.
I think I'm done with the physical security field.
I see issues when it comes to installers and guards and so on and so forth and see the obvious fixes, but it's un-fixable or maybe the company just refuses to fix it. I see the amount of money we spend just on installers and just on the equipment and have brought up these issues and the best solutions possible to my previous supervisor, who acknowledged these same issues before, but was shot down as well.
Vendors, the ones who create and sell the equipment that we use, refuse to work with us unless it involves basic training.
They will not directly sell to us, only to installers. They will not troubleshoot with us, only the installers. They will not troubleshoot with the installers unless they're certified, which means the installers never call them.
Guess who the installers call because they're not actually certified in our equipment, even though they should be?
Us, the customer.
What's worse is that everyone in the field knows this, but couldn't give two E36 M3s because it's a pretty "small" field, full of current/former military, and everyone is just waiting their turn to get to the top of their respective companies and partake in the excessive spending.
I'm done.
wow that was some thread. We have a monument in the nations capital to a prez who sent a boat load of Jews back to the gas chamber so maybe we can do without the supra-national histrionics. Most of the electorate voted for a first husband that let Rwanda turn into a charnel house.
I could go on. As Dan Quayle said in one debate "That was uncalled for Senator."
Go ahead ban me. After that I could care less. 
I've always found Godsmack to produce E36 M3ty generic music with eye-rollingly dumb lyrics. Somehow with their latest stuff, they've managed to be even more generic and E36 M3ty with even more braindead lyrics
berkeleying US Postal Service....
Not only are they unable to deliver at any kind of a predictable time from day to day, nor do they knock or ring the bell when they drop a package, but they do E36 M3 like this...
I won't even go into the 3" of snow last year that shut them down for 3 days... "unable to access delivery location"...
Random dude from yesterday: If you choose to call your doctor's office from the E36 M3ter stall and loudly discuss your medical issues, I'll spot you a few seconds. But when you launch into your entire medical history and I have places to go, I'm flushing AND running the hand dryer.
On the "plus side" it reminded me of one of my favorite threads of all time: the poogling thread

That's because they aren't USPS employees, they are contractors and contractors don't give a berkeley.
More and more urban contractors are being hired to replace the FTE mail carriers and this is where you get a lot of misdelivered mail, etc.
just came off of a 3 week vacation. the last thing I want to do today is go back to work. Nothing like a change of perspective to make you realize how much you dislike your co-workers
Still somewhat dejected about the drivability, or lack thereof, of my RX-7, I found that RX-8 R3s have depreciated. Hard. Like the ratio is three R3s to one S2000. Granted the S2000 is probably faster, but they also aren't R3s. All R3s are series 2 RX-8s, meaning they all have the good transmission, the updated engine, and 4.78 gears from the factory because let that engine sing.
I did not need to know this.
The other stupid thing is a used MX-5 RF sems to go for about about what a clean AP1 S2000 with hardtop seems to go for. Dang.
I was *this* close to having the truck motor swap project completed - it runs, drives, no codes (yet), no noises, no smoke, no oil leaks anywhere. But the Midas Monkey that started the project apparently managed to crack the radiator when he was taking off the oil cooler line and despite two JB Weld applications, I can't get it to hold water at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, much less at normal operating temps and pressures. So before I can call the job complete, I have to put a new radiator in it.
That's only a minor rant because I told the owner that I felt like the job required the installation of a radiator and I had already done that job once, so it was only fair to me that I charge him a little bit extra to do the job again since the provided radiator was at fault. I also told him that my priority this week is to get Teh N30n's engine re-mounted so I can go racing this coming Saturday. He had no objections to either point, so everything will work out just fine.
I also discovered in this process that for the future, if there's any chance that someone is going to try to send me a 1099 or if there's any paperwork out there that might result in a 1099, I need to mark up whatever cash I expect to get out of it by 29 points. Either that or be very clear up front that I'll do the work but it is strictly no paperwork, cash only. This guy wants to pay me with a check and have me write out an invoice!
