Both shoes too. I left a trail of cork crumbs in my wake. RIP Birks.

Seriously, Buc-ee's needs to stop ever since they came to Ohio earlier this year, they've been suing businesses left and right that use cartoon animal mascots. Now they've set they're sights on a small-town business in Beaver Creek, Ohio which coincidentally also uses a Cartoon Beaver for their logo (I mean seriously the town is literally named Beaver Creek how dare they use a Beaver for a mascot /s), and here's the kicker: this hardware store was founded about 30 years before Buc-ee's, and yet they dare to sue them.

Apparently I have set up an infinite ant buffet instead of

Street parking is there to be used if you need it, but this family treats the culdesac like their own personal space. They are permanently parked in these spots and they seem to have agreed on who gets which one because they never switch. The car next to the road is one family member’s work truck and is often in the way of trash pickup and deliveries. There is room in their driveway but it’s too inconvenient to coordinate parking. A house up the street has a smaller driveway and manages to fit 4 cars/SUVs.

Does it matter? No. Does it annoy me to no end? Yes.

Nine PBS in St. Louis filed a lawsuit against information management corporation Iron Mountain Data Centers July 28, seeking to recover over 50 terabytes of archival materials stored in one of the company’s Denver-based data centers. 

The lawsuit filed in Denver District Court alleges that the station’s cloud-storage vendor, Open Source Storage, abruptly cut off access to Nine PBS’ data earlier this year without warning. It states OSS, which had a separate relationship with Iron Mountain to provide data storage, went “defunct,” leaving Nine PBS’ archives in a data center operated by Iron Mountain. 

Iron Mountain has refused to return the materials to the station because its client, OSS, technically owned “the physical services housing the data” within Iron Mountain, according to the complaint.

The station requested temporary and preliminary relief that would prevent Iron Mountain from deleting, modifying or overwriting its materials in the suit. A district judge granted the motion and set a hearing for Wednesday. 

In a statement to Current, Nine PBS VP and CCO Leah Freeman confirmed the station’s lawsuit against Iron Mountain and its dedication to retrieving the archival materials and programming, which she says span over “70 years of our organization’s history.”

“We are committed to ensuring we can recover and restore full access to this valuable content, which Nine PBS rightfully owns, as it holds significant historical importance for St. Louis.”

Update:

District Court Judge Eric Elliff ordered Iron Mountain, which had a separate business relationship with OSS, to cooperate with Nine PBS in any way possible to retrieve the data. He found that the station is the rightful owner of the materials and entitled to recover them from OSS’ storage systems.

Under his order, Nine PBS is to identify a third-party vendor, such as a former OSS employee, who can assist in accessing and retrieving the data from the infrastructure that’s housed in Iron Mountain’s center within 30 days.

Coworker decided to get photos of each team for 'World photo day' - already annoying because we have loads of actual work to get done, and who the hell cares about that stupid holiday?

He then said he would photoshop them together to get a company wide photo, but in actuallity he passed all the photos into ChatGPT to make a single image, without asking a single person for permission.

The final image shows practically no resemblance to anyone in the office, and now my face will be unkowingly used by basment dwelling smellies generating fake porn until the end of time!

Not one of these is part of my silverware set. Everyone in my home insists they’ve never seen these before either. Somebody is lying.

Edit: we have carbon monoxide testers in every room

I always decline having my photo taken by the TSA because it isn't mandatory and they never tell you that. So I try to avoid face scanning as a principle.

I hand my ID to the agent and say "I'm gonna decline the photo" and he just goes ahead and puts it in the machine and says "Sorry, you have to say that before you hand me the ID. Now you don't have the option".

And he refused to let me decline or reset the machine or anything. He just kept repeating "It's on you to tell me before." Which I did. He just didn't listen before he just did what he was gonna do anyway.

EDIT: Thank you everyone for reminding me that drivers licenses and passports exist! /s The point remains that if they didn't stand to benefit from it, they wouldn't be doing it and they wouldn't be so shady about your ability to opt out. You shouldn't be giving the government anything you don't have to ever. They are counting on you to just take the "it's all hopeless anyway" attitude.

Every month or two, my beard decides to betray and stab me.

This time it's been stuck for a few hours and actually hurts when I fail with tweezers.

I'm all ears if anyone has legit tips on what to try next.

UPDATE:
Thanks for the tips everyone! Learned that my tweezers are crap and to buy legit ones, alongside with these balms and child-size syringes for future episodes.

TRIED
-Push and Tweezer: failed (with emasculating pain this time for some reason)
-Medical Tape: failed (but got out 2 other beard splinters I hadn't even notice?)
-Soaking in soap water: failed
-Soaking in epsum salt water: failed

Currently trying: Acne patch

My 17 year old and 19 year old are two days into the school year and this is my kitchen counter next to the sink. Makes me miss the 80s when I had to use a water fountain.

I planted a watermelon seed in a big pot just to see if I could grow one myself.
It thrived, I was happy.

It eventually got too big for the pot so my sister and her husband said they’d look after it for me as they have a bit of land with a new veggie patch.
“I’ll let you know how it goes so you can come over and eat it when it’s ready :)”

I dropped past after work one day to see how the melon was going and they ate it without me.

Zero remorse.

Why.

I was making a sandwich and I forgot to shake the mustard bottle before using it. I didn't have my phone on hand so I couldn't take a picture of the sandwich, but this meme definitely sums up my disappointment.

I ordered Uber Eats with “Leave at Door.” The app said it was delivered, but there was no food at my front door and no delivery photo.

I contacted support because I just wanted to know where the driver left it so I could go find it.

They kept explaining why I wasn’t eligible for a refund.

I had not asked for a refund.

Never found the food.

Still hungry.
