    Stop smoking and wear your dog tags?

    Not really sure what to do about the other stuff, I don't know what you need them for.

    We have a customer who wants us to give a presentation at their location. Part of that presentation involves playing a video that the customer made and uploaded to YouTube. The customer sent us an email saying, "You can use our conference room. We have a computer and a projector there for you."

    The project manager here is freaking out. "They said that they have a computer but they didn't say it's connected to the Internet!" and wants me to give the presenter a laptop, projector, and broadband card to take with him just to play a YouTube video.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    NEVER GON' STOP SMOKING

    also yeah should start to wear them they're surprisingly jagged

    also I need my cards and ID because duh, same with keys, cell phone, lighter, smokes

    pen and notebook is because a. I need to write stuff down now and then b. if I get bored somewhere I can doodle c. it's actually regulation so that helps

    lip balm is, well, gets dry up here, magic marker is for, well, marking stuff, occasionally needed, working gloves because not having them when you need them is annoying and I need them often, leatherman the same, length of string exactly the same, use it all the time, beret because I need to wear a hat.

    Wow, the 'premium' edition of bloodline champions is $90 (currently on sale for 63).

    That is a lot for a videogame.

    But then again, it is equivalent to buying a copy of LoL where you would get every champion unlocked, get every future champion unlocked upon release, and have every rune in the game.

    I would actually pay a tidy sum to have that in LoL.

    If only there were some way to communicate with the location before they arrive. Imagine if there were a box, that allowed you to "call" out to another location and communicate over a long distance.

    uniform pants, they got two big-ass pockets on the thighs but it's not a good place for small dense things

    mostly just used for clothing and sneaking food out of the mess

    today I made off with three oranges, four bread rolls and some cutlery

    Iknowright?

    It's not really that big of a deal. But this particular person does stuff like this all the time. If he is presented with a problem, he'll find the most circuitous baffling way of solving the problem. this is just the most easily explained example.

    No, not what you need them for. I know that. What you need them for. Is the most convenient place for your Leatherman in your pocket, or would it be more convenient in a belt holster? Could you keep your ID on a lanyard or something along with your dog tags? Etc.

    No, pretty sure I've always called it second hand embarrassment. I mean it's not some term I just made up.

    Not that it's a scientific source but second-hand embarrassment has an entry on urban dictionary. Contact embarrassment does not.

    Every Summer the SLC Arts Council holds the twilight concert series, which is a free concert each thursday throughout July and August. Last year we had Modest Mouse, Beirut, Dodos, Matisyahu, and She and Him to name some. This year was the Decemberist, Explosions in the Sky, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes and others but none of them compare to how excited I am for Lupe.

    They can take everything

    they're like bags of holding that don't reduce weight at all and instead smack against your knees

    most I've taken out of there have been three baguettes, four waffles, four oranges and a fork

    I could buy a thingy to get the ID on my chest instead. Also get a holster for the leatherman.

    I do have a lot of pockets in my jacket but buttoning and unbuttoning is inconvient so everything migrates to my pockets anyway.

    Contact Embarrassment seems to be pretty frequently given as a term for those 'answer-a-question' websites, though.

    Both terms equally used? I've not heard either.

    You just ruined Halloween by associating it with cosplay.

    This is worse than when I saw Santa on manhunt.com advertising himself as a "polar bear."
