do not like climbing out of the basket of a scissor lift to monkey around in a piperack. Do not like heights at all. Would've been paralyzed with fear if it wasn't for the harness

Tantalus

looks like I'm gonna keep thinking "sure is a shame that the Crooks boy missed" every so often for a while yet

pondering about the Sort Of Thing that would make me perfectly content with adding Trump's name to the Kennedy Memorial Center

My best friend is getting married tomorrow and I'm staying over at his parent's house and we've done in three (four?) bottles of champagne and his mom is like "oh can you disassemble this table and take the parts to the garage" and I'm like "...ok"

WE ARE BORG. YOUR BIOLOGICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL DISTINCTIVENESS WILL BE ADDED TO OUR POLYCULE. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

yeah okay we put the wrong safety relief valve on the steam line and have to fuck around with it before we hand it over. Sorry to the guys coming in tomorrow to work, you're not gonna have that steam to use

NORMAL GERMS: We're going to try real hard and evolve some drug resistances RFK JR'S GERMS: We're going to reprogram our host to undermine the entire project of medicine

A door is guarded by two AI agents. One is programmed to always deliver a response statistically likely to be true; the other is programmed to deliver a response statistically likely to be false. You can ask one question; how do you tell which one is which?

imaging a movie. A guy named "James Bond" (no relation) gets caught up in some big spy fight by accident because some goons thought he was a spy, and he just kinda muddles through and beats up some spies. Then MI6 is like "dang this guy has talent, we should hire him" and they make him the new 007

"Victaulic to Triclamp fitting adapter" yeah that's probably the silliest thing I've seen in a week

ADMIRALABLE: this MFer said Warfrighter COMMANDON'T: lol warfrighter (GENERAL DISORDER changed the name of the Groupchat to WARFRIGHTER) CHAIRFORCEMAN: ok but seriously what is this speech about GENERAL DISORDER: hear me out (GENERAL DISORDER changed the name of the Groupchat to 25TH AMENDMENT)

hearing rumors from FBI sources that the shooter was actually a climate change accelerationist

What if the Rapture does happen, but to like a dozen people

gonna ask for a pizza with eight different slices

Cat just slipped and fell off the arm of a chair

Pulled a muscle in my calf, limping a bit. Was gonna ask for Thoughts And Prayers to siphon the Big Guy's life force to heal, but on second thought I probably don't want that energy inside me

Watched "Nimona" this afternoon. I'd heard it was good, and it was, with artful animation. There were a few times I quieted myself from saying "now wait a minute" though

New conspiracy theory just dropped. My mom (not Online) speculated that Epstein was assassinated by Queen Elizabeth to protect Prince Andrew

lot of big accounts scolding randos for getting mad an elected can't respect "separation of Church and State" enough to keep religion out of an election bid announcement

How can I do my email job if I cannot send an receive emails

Gonna have to criticize a younger engineer for doing a mockup drawing in AutoCAD and dimensioning it all wrong. I'm turning into a stereotype

And they made a burnt offering unto Their Lord, Moloch; and verily was Moloch pleased by the sweet smell of the smoke wafting upward

groimes muoy rohbot eenvented ah neew koind of cahr crash

Well thats just because her reality is her own mental illness

so is this *also* going to be the 'Rendezvous with Rama' project, or what

The tallest endless belt elevator I ever rode was 11 stories

"made daily with FOOD" I could feel that immediately entering my long term memory, I'm going to be whispering "made daily with food" to myself every once in a while for the rest of my career

Put my boots on and they're already warm. Its gonna be a hot one

Today's boiler delivery is on time and tomorrow's boiler delivery is a day early and Friday's big pump skid arrived late today. Busy day for the riggers

whelp just got threatened with a Change Order that would just be straightforwardly fixing a mistake I made. Whoops

Starting to think this cat is a pervert. Every time she sits on my lap she twists around until my hand is on her lower belly

Saw a rabbit sitting in the road, and frowned. "At least scoot back out of the travel lane and onto the shoulder." I thought when I saw it. "Can't you see you're over the white line?" As if the rabbit comprehended the humans' Rules Of The Road

I think this is gonna cost like $400,000 to fix, assuming it doesnt get worse. Lets see what happens

Yeah sure maybe all the glycol piping for upstream milk is the wrong size. Who knows

Every "Stephen Miller in High School" story is just some comically evil Heart Of Darkness shit. When I cast my mind back to what drama I recall from my high school, it's stuff like 'the Soccer Team had a reputation for binge drinking'

first boiler is showing up! Now we just need to figure out how to get the flue stack up through the roof, somehow. Probably should have thought about that in January or so but oh well

I spilled like 80,000 gallons of water at work one time. No big deal

TO: Utility Engineering Manager SUBJECT: Chicken or Egg BODY: Hey I need RO water to fill the boiler, but the RO system needs steam to flush the carbon towers first. What do I do

This fellow is, of course, also a Federalist Society gutter-racist

the assistant CM has a new Tesla and says he uses it mostly on Full-Self Driving. I told him well, that's how he's going to die

as Mario awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic Goomba

RFI TITLE: what the heck BODY: why is the pressure transmitter directly in front of the outlet pipe flange ASSIGN TO: Equipment Vendor

lights are off in the building, generators are down. Big concrete rectangle with 40' ceilings, diffuse morning light coming in through the big windows (no glass in yet, just plastic tarps)... thought to myself "this looks like a Renaissance Painting", a study in perspective and shadow

taking a break from the emails about putting in a bunch of steel pipe according to my whims, to sending an email to my project manager implying another company's construction manager should be fired

How can I do my email job if I cannot send an receive emails
