As part of my job, I sometimes have to general customer support IT stuff.
After all these years, it still amazes me how about 90% of problems are solved by simply reading what's on the screen. Or being able to follow instructions.
People say I have magic powers, that they attribute to things "just starting to work" when I walk up to their desk. I appreciate the accolades, but no, I can just follow instructions and simple logical steps better than you.

"Being Frank" Must have a different meaning in the US, is it another term for "Waffle On"?

Being Frank - Where is it Made? - Cane Creek Cycling Components
The question of where a product is made is more important to some than others and seems to be less important to many than it was in the past. Certainly the world feels smaller these days with the ability to see, hear, and learn about anything with a digital device. Case in point, in the […]

I used to code the solution to a lot of support cases as RTFM.
Read The Fucking Manual.
You could say the same about penguins and polar bears, just sayin'...
GFF thinks that sharks don't know Giraffes exist.
At least 1 person is talking about it.
Animals are smarter than you think. Just sayin...
Watching a show called 'Mirror Mirror' there's a trans woman getting her face peeled back and the skull and lower jaw hit with a Dremel, is pretty freakin' crazy.
It's quite a sad watch, a friend of mine was a GP and got a beauty qual, she left the industry because she said the people having the work done needed to see a psychiatrist or a psychologist and not her.

Aesthetic surgeons are vultures. As soon as they see someone is insecure about their looks, they will suggest a number of interventions to align with their own beauty standard. One of my cousins works as a surgical instrumentist, and one of the surgeons she worked with talked her into fixing her nose. Then he talked her into modifying her chin, her cheekbones, lips, boobs...
As you say, most of these people's issues would be fixed at a much lower cost (and suffering!) if they'd started by seeking mental health help instead of heading for the bucher's table.

A homeless tweaker popped out of the woods next to the lots in town when I was falling trees and excavating today. He walked right up and asked if I could help him invest his crypto into my holdings and ventures.
I asked what he's got, he pulled out a crown royal bag full of these.
In his mind, he thinks he is holding several million in Bitcoin and being safe physically holding them instead of them being in "the stock market" For those that don't know these are plastic tokens that you can buy off Amazon
I told him that he should go to the bank and ask them to set up an appointment for a brokerage advisor account and use his bitcoins to fund the account.

Here in the Rockies it's just called "cross country."
Damn you and your white vans!....
Why some people turn down the volume of music in their car when looking for an address?

Looks a lot like a big loop they have where I do my trailbuilding. They have started working on portions of those trails to make them bike friendly, for bike packing trips.

I agreed to go on a local history walk.
Lasted 20mins of a two and a half hour walk.
It would have been such a nice area before Captain Cook and the rape brigade rocked up and fucked everything.
Now sitting in a Chinese leased coal/chemical/grain port watching the country slowly getting exported.
Yay white people!

Tide pods?
No like body wash. My Irish spring stuff has instructions. It's one line on the bottle, but still...
Well are you going to tell us what the instructions are ? Gah, such a cake tease.No like body wash. My Irish spring stuff has instructions. It's one line on the bottle, but still...
There was a tough phone a few years back that would only shoot in landscape no matter how you held the phone.

The “squeeze gel” part seems a bit vague but might be useful.
Squeeze onto what, though?
No guidance on quantity??
I’m still not clear on “gel”. I’m of course assuming that it refers to a general substance and not a person since it isn’t capitalized. Squeezing someone named Gel might not always be an option in the shower.
Prop 65 was good in theory, but since practically everything may expose you to cancer causing chemicals, it's been relegated to an afterthought.
Oh, I still rmember the times I fell for a nut like that...
I'd prefer a rurp.
