That it was in a state of total chaos: the management company wasn't doing their job, one of the members wasn't paying his fees (only 3 units so it was a major hit), and I found out we didn't have any insurance. I ended up taking over, got rid of the shitty management company, sued the delinquent member, evicted one of his tenants (drug addicts that left the doors unlocked and would set off the building smoke detectors all the time), and sold/moved once the dust settled.

I'm in DevOps, so anyone not in tech has no idea what I do/what that means. So, I end up just saying "I work in IT".

My new doctor didn't like that answer when we were making small talk and wanted a more detailed answer, so I tell him. He looks at his nurse and says: did any of that make sense?

Transformers The Movie (1986). I still get teary eyed when Optimus Prime dies.

Buy the tv that suits your needs and then use a streaming device: Roku, Apple TV, Raspberry Pi, any modern video game console, etc. Back in college an acquaintance worked at Hulu and confirmed that no one works on the smart tv app. This was like 15 years ago, so things may have changed but I've never enjoyed the smart tv experienced (always been super slow Ford me).

I really enjoyed Pandorum and The Babadook.

Become overwhelmed and do nothing. This was not a problem prior to having children though. In the before time I'd go train in martial arts, video games with friends, etc.

A microwave/mini oven combo (or at least ours is). Despite the name, it actually takes quite a while to preheat.

I hear thermite is good at destroying things.

Depends on my laziness. I just bought parts for my new rig on Newegg. I was going to do microcenter, but they didn't have everything I wanted.

The last straw for me was no more free returns. I cancelled my prime but it doesn't expire for a few months. A buddy of mine is doing the same. It's no longer worth it.

I'm planning on building a new rig for Xmas and am gonna go Linux for my desktop OS for the first time.

I was working on one of my users desktops (adding RAM). The machine wasn't recognizing all of it. I eventually cave and call tech support. Their solution was to not use all of the RAM slots. I called up the next day and got a competent person to replace the board, but pretty much all calls were like that.
