But if you had money, you might just be.

Those are over ear closed backs with thicc pads, no way are those going to be comfortable to one ear. Some Grados, maybe, but again the more important thing is hearing things in the room, not the game.

You wanna be able to hear if your partner needs anything. Ear buds would at least mean that they can only put one in at a time.

I can see bringing the Deck, like you might be sitting there for at least 24 hours, you don’t need to be sitting there holding their hand the whole time…

But the keyboard? The mouse? The HEADPHONES? It’s not like you’re in an extended stay. You’re getting that baby out and going. You don’t need all that.

That last bit was my thought too, I ain’t taking a pager from that dude. Gold or otherwise.

About a decade ago I had a Fitbit and wearing it caused my wrist to break out in a rash. I sent a picture of said wrist to Customer Support and they gave me a full refund on it.

Now, I’ve not had a watch cause me to break out like that since and I’ve also never owned any of the other brands on this list… Now you got me wondering.

Mr. Noodle, are you not familiar with the abomination that is the cursive n?

I’ve tried a few times to really wrap my head around Usenet and I’ve got a couple of bookmarked tabs but… Man, I even had trouble setting up the arrs. My brain might be a bit too smooth these days.

I shut and lock my door ten minutes before a meeting. Hit the bathroom and then usually log in for a functions check, fix my blinds and pull up the relevant group chat that doesn’t have the boss in it.

Organize my notes on my desk, get a coffee or water in front of me. Someone will always be later. I’ll sometimes be the first. Let teams let them see that I’m starting it, whatever, everyone knows I’m getting my coffee.

Also, I like to give my colleague a fifteen minute heads up since he’ll sometimes forget.

The pockets are alone to give away that Hostel guy is wearing a “field jacket” cotton blend while Agent 47 is wearing a ECWCS cold/wet weather top. He could have two jackets and all that but they’re different jackets.

I remember Green Steam on dialup. The steam loading bar frolicking across the screen, left AND sometimes right. No “offline” mode. And, of course, being the only way to play Half Life 2.

The whole road while taking a dash pic at 70mph.

The joke was literally already made in the OP.

Called once to ask, they said go to urgent care.

Then billed me for a telehealth visit and also the Urgent Care billed me too.

I dunno if I could manage to spend $30 just to be reminded of something that’ll be forgotten by December…

Are you sure you’re not a Sony Psyop to get us all to buy Concord merch to help recoup the loss?

This was a while back, so not the last time but probably one of my biggest wtfs.

Anyway, In Iraq, in a tower surrounded by sandbag and hesco walls. The night guard shifts kept pissing in bottles and tossing it over the walls instead of just pissing anywhere else or just throwing the piss bottles in the trash so at the change over the Sergeant of the Guard said that we had to make the guys getting relieved stand by because they’re gonna have to go clean all that up. Mind you this is outside of the wire in Iraq - not that it’s particularly dangerous but we were still getting bombed nightly. Anyway, I rock up to the tower and let them know to standby and the SOG rolls up behind me and tells them what’s up.

I kid you not, this dude looks at him and says “Can we at least downgrade our gear?” You could probably hear my laughter across the whole FOB. He just said “Can I take off my vest and helmet before I head out of the wire?”

I shouted down “I can cover you but that won’t stop any rounds that come your way,” and the SOG just said “What? No, fuck, are you kidding?”

Then I baked in the 100+°F sun while I watched adults pick up piss bottles in the desert.

This was a movie that I’d seen one day and promptly forgot the name of it. I tried in vain to find out years later. I asked my mom and she had no idea what I was talking about. I asked everyone and no one even knew. I was convinced it was a fever dream or something.

Until I heard Tech N9ne’s Everybody Move and he said “Falling Down like Michael Douglas” and it was a core memory unlocked and I finally got to watch it again.

It was every bit as good as I remember.

I have shorts, made by a company Pistol Lake that’s unfortunately no longer in business, that has a phone pocket inside the pocket with a snap closure.

Now, one, it perfectly fits my G100 and, two, the rest of the pocket is gigantic. Like, full size Nintendo Switch in there with wiggle room but my phone doesn’t move.

So, this may be silly but, see a tailor about adding a pocket if your clothes are baggy enough for it.

Mentally deranged people have been shooting up schools since before Capri Sun was even invented…

How old are you?
