  • For those of us that pooped before smart phones, there was a book series called Uncle John's Bathroom Reader. I could totally see them have a section dedicated to this.

    What dessert or junkfood do you always keep in stock at home?

  • My favorite is the Synders sourdough but rods are a close second

  • What were you wrong about for a long time? How did you realize you were wrong?

    Jump

  • Reminds me of when I was a kid watching Annie, I figured since it was set in the 1930s, it was filmed back then. I got really confused when I was a teenager and saw a rerun of the Carrol Burnett Show.

  • What's the most peculiar car accident you've ever seen?

    Jump

  • I was driving from Bakersfield to LA and pulled off the highway to get some gas. It was one of those exit ramps that goes down lower than the highway. I'm sitting at the light waiting to turn left and go under the highway, when a car comes flying off the highway upside down. It is airborne and goes right over top of my car. It hits the ground, slides until it hits the other side of the road and somehow rolls back onto its wheels. It then tries to take off but just crashes into fence and stops. A few moments later a parade of police cars came hauling ass down the exit ramp. I just drove straight back onto the highway and stopped at the next gas station.

  • What's your personal little conspiracy theory?

    Jump

  • I completely believe this. If I let my Surface Pro go too long the facial recognition will stop working and the little white light at the top will not turn off. The only fix is to reboot and let it finish updating.

  • How serious are you guys when you talk about punching nazis?

    Jump

  • 43 year old here. By the late 90s most of the laces and braces stuff was over in my local scene (Austin, TX). SHARPs learned it was easier to just have a mowhawk or spikes than explaining that yes they were a skinhead but not Nazis or racist.

    With that said there were still Nazis that would come around to the clubs from time to time. And it usually ended up with them getting thrown out. Then one night one of them went into the pit and started throwing punches. The whole lot of them got dragged out the back by a bunch of guys a lot larger than me. 10 minutes later they came back in minus the Nazis. After that night I never saw another Nazi at a show again.

  • Who is your favorite artist and what song/album would you recommend?

    Jump

  • I got really into industrial my freshman year of highschool, then I got really into punk my sophomore year. I still remember the day I discovered Lard. Went to the record store and heard Forkboy playing on the PA. I was like, that Jello, but not the Dead Kennedy's. I asked the guy at the counter who it was and ended up leaving the store with both of their albums. They are still in my regular rotation of albums.

  • Albums that I have probably listened to the most times in my life:

    These two don't really need introductions.

    • The Beatles: Abbey Road
    • Nirvana: Nevermind

  • Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes is pure 90s hardcore gold. But I think Black Sails in the Sunset has to be my favorite.

    Is "retard" a slur?

    Jump

  • In my state all state run sites they use the terms LMHA (local mental health authorities) and LBHA (local behavioral health authorities). But a large majority of the local offices call themselves

    <County Name>

    MHMR (mental health mental retardation).

    All the laws and support systems use the term IDD (intellectual or developmental disability). And you'd be hard pressed to find any county that actually lists the full name for their MHMR office. So it seems like they are trying to phase it out. In the meantime it just makes things confusing.

  • What movie have you rewatched the most?

  • Yo. Check this out guys, this is insanely great, it's got a 28.8 BPS modem!

  • The Sandlot is such a great film. Even my daughter who doesn't know anything about baseball loves watching it with me. There is no other movie that gives me the same feelings as that. There is no major drama or traumatic incidents. Just kids having fun over the summer.

    You know nowadays they would have made the stepdad an alcoholic or animal control would have come and taken Hercules away after they found out he was nice, or some other kind of drama like that. But this movie doesn't do any of that. It's just a fun story about a bunch of kids being kids.

  • What movie have you rewatched the most?

    Jump

  • Same. Growing up anytime I saw it on TV (which was often on TBS in the 90s) I watched it. I got my first DVD player in 2000 and that was one of the first DVDs I bought. I've watched it at least twice a year since then. So chances are I've seen it close to 100 times.

  • Every time I drive by a Taco Bell I have to sing, "Taco Bell, Taco Bell, product placement with Taco Bell."

    My kids think I'm insane.

  • I think this is a fake quote that somebody made up for an Internet comedy bit

    You can tell by the pixels

  • What's something you just learned, that you should have known for a while?

    Jump

  • Holy crap, this could be a game changer for me. I live in an area with a ton of highway interchanges, so it not uncommon to get directs that say in 5 mile stay left on road XYZ, then right after that, it like exit right in .0001 miles. So, I'm always scrolling up on the map to see what's really coming up.

  • What's a company secret you can share now that you no longer work there?

    Jump

  • I've worked in IT consulting for over 10 years and have never once lied about the capabilities of a product. I have said, it doesn't do that natively, but if that's a requirement we can scope how much it would take to make it happen. Sadly my company is very much the exception.

    The worst I saw was years ago I was working on an infrastructure upgrade of a Hyper-V environment. The client purchased a backup solution I wasn't familiar with but said it supported Hyper-V. It turns out their Hyper-V support was in "beta". It wasn't in beta. They were literally using this client as a development environment. It was a freaking joke. At one point I had to get on the phone with one of their developers and explain how high-availability and fail-over worked.
