I tried the all you can eat pasta at Olive garden once.

The first bowl happened.

The second bowl was in like one of those little soup cups.

They refused to come anywhere near our table after that except to slam the check down.

Fuck everything about Olive garden

Got_Bent , to asklemmy in What is the biggest lesson that employment has taught you?

Most shops I know of these days assign a labor time to any given job. You get charged that amount whether the mechanic does it in half the time or takes five times as long.

Anymore, it’s an internal benchmark for mechanics to build on the efficiency of their own work.

In my line of work, it may take me three hours to solve a client tax issue. I will bill for that accordingly.

If another client comes along the next day with the exact same issue, but this time I know the answer because I researched it yesterday, so I can solve it instantly, should the second client get charged nothing?

I remember those halcyon days when calling each other Sherlock and Einstein was the zenith of insults.

On the playground.

During recess.

In the fifth grade.

Got_Bent , to youshouldknow in UO People is an accredited and tuition free college that offers full degrees and certificates

I have no horse in this race either way. According to wiki:

Two years later, the university was accredited for degree-granting programs through the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC)

Currently the DEAC is recognized by Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the United States Department of Education as an accreditor of institutions of higher education.

It looks like there are potential issues with transferring credits to more traditional schools.

If I were a hiring manager, I would certainly raise an eyebrow to see that school on a resume.

Edit: While there is no tuition, there are fees from a couple thousand for an associates up to slightly under five thousand for a master’s.

Got_Bent , to memes in RIP Cheems

My Shiba crossed the bridge two years ago at age fifteen.

There are not many dog breeds that are more difficult and there are not many dog breeds that are more rewarding.

I still miss him daily.

Disclaimer: While he did happen to be a purebred Shiba Inu, I got him at the SPCA and didn’t know shibas were even a thing at the time. I only learned that at the first vet visit.

Got_Bent , to memes in Also, the brewery smells like vomit.

I don’t like Bud Light. I have never liked Bud Light. It’s been over twenty years since I’ve drunk a Bud Light.

However, I also believe there is a time and place to consume crappy American adjunct lager. Generally daytime outdoor activities.

I don’t understand the culture of disparaging people for the beer they drink. I especially don’t understand something along the line of a Coors Light drinker expressing existential superiority over a Bud Light drinker.

As to the craft drinkers, I see that as an entirely different market that should keep to itself. It’s like Michelin star diners disparaging people who can only afford to occasionally eat at the local greasy spoon.

Got_Bent , to technology in The world's largest chipmaker promised to create thousands of US jobs. There are growing tensions over whether US workers have the skills or work ethic to do them.

That doesn’t sound like jobs. It sounds like indenture.

Got_Bent , to memes in Elon paywalled Tweet Deck.

The album cover for the 1980 X album Los Angeles would be a perfect logo for Elon’s little sandbox.

Got_Bent , to news in Idaho’s Teacher of the Year flees state after being attacked for LGBTQ+ allyship

Is that with a football or a bullet? Both scenarios fit.

Got_Bent , to showerthoughts in Instead of movies and crappy games on those in-flight displays, they should just stream the view out the cockpit window.

I really enjoy watching the features of the desert when I fly to Vegas. You can almost see the geographic history of how the grand canyon came about. I love the dried up river beds that look like ancient crooked highways.

Got_Bent , to technology in Microsoft shuts down Cortana app on Windows 11

Man I’m so out of the loop, I had no idea what Cortana was and thought Windows was finally shutting down all instances of Encarta. (It looks like Encarta did live until around 2008, which does surprise me)

Got_Bent , to asklemmy in How many of you were using Digg during its prime?

I was active on the snopes message board before Reddit. Snopes went all to hell right around the time I switched. Now the message boards are gone and the site itself is mostly the owner asking for money.

Got_Bent , to technology in Musk offers to pay legal bills of people ‘unfairly treated’ for posting on platform

When I look at the current state of the internet, I pine for the simpler days of the nineties when a/s/l and stormfront.org look downright warm and fuzzy in comparison. That was just weird individuals being weird. Now it’s institutionalized across the entire Internet.

Got_Bent , to news in Oregon lifts ban on self-serve gas, leaving N.J. as the only state prohibiting it

I can’t see myself headed back to Oregon any time soon, but good. It was so frustrating trying to get gas behind a line of twenty five cars being “served” by a single slack jawed yokel taking smoke breaks between each car and God help you if you needed gas at night when everybody was closed.

New Jersey gas attendants can be surly, but my experiences driving there at least moved the cars through getting gas efficiently.
