They had a battle royal in a pizza shop.

It’s a pizza shop in NYC.

Oh man I want to slap the guy filming.

“I’m still waiting for my pizza, by the way.”

“you’re not getting it.”

“I-I want my pizza. I paid for my pizza.”


f*** outta here, you f***ing gremlin. They’ve got bigger fish to fry than your f***ing slice of cheese pizza.

Reminds me of the time at a place I used to work when tornadoes knocked the power out. A lady came in and got very indignant when we didn’t serve her.

I really wish I knew what the hell prompted all that

I know absolutely nothing about the Bachelor or any other surrounding shows but I saw this today...

The Bachelorette's Connor B. on His Unexpected Men Tell All Kiss: I Want to 'Take Her on a Date'

I went to high school with that girl before she moved out to LA.

That’s a worse friggin plant than the time during Jersey Shore where someone threw a ice cube at the crew at a bar when you could clearly see no one was around them and could see the producers arm in the corner throwing it.

We're going to have to go back to masks even if we're vaccinated aren't we?

God I hate it here. This was so preventable.

Apparently, a German man put up a wooden statue of his father at the cemetery - and the statue was supposed to be taken away later because it looked like Hitler too much Putting number 88 onto the statue's chest (reportedly a call back to the number of the house the man lived in - I think I call bs) did not help either

Were you already 50 years old when you were born or something?

LoL!!!! Great line. My friends were/are some really smart geeks. Doctor, lawyer, 2 elec engineers and a geophysicist. I am still close to 3 of them, 50+ years, two of them since kindergarten. But I did NOT play Dungeons and Dragons, so I have that going for me.

One guy learned bridge from his parents and taught us. I really like all card games, and was in a monthly poker group for a decade a while ago. Learning to count cards from bridge was a big help in poker.

I have been back in the office since Fri, and lanternflies are a mess around the building. I have stomped dozens over the 3 days back.

Have to coordinate our return to office plan for everyone, at least on the tech side. It hasnt sucked too much, the building is a out 20% full, but no way everyone can come back until some restrictions are relaxed

Surprising to no one, LaVar is far and away the best host so far.

My cat brought one in the house from the deck as a gift today. She was all proud of her catch....meowing and strutting. She's a ham...

Sri Lanka: World's largest star sapphire cluster found in backyard

Seems legit.

A Sri Lankan GEM DEALER just happened to find the largest sapphire cluster ever found in the world... in his back garden... by accident... when workers digging a well.

The serendipity.

That sounds like the Burmese Bandit that Alfred Pennyworth was looking for.

Forecast for my trip to the Outer Banks next week looks laughably bad

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Ok Computer geeks, dweebs, and weirdos, I need some insight. I have a "mesh" network in my house for the last year or two. My router wouldn't really reach all rooms in my house so I made the switch. It was awesome and seamless and ridiculously fast (especially compared to what it was). All of the sudden my mesh network is now saying it has a weak signal and the TV on the far side of the house that has a Chromecast in it barely works (buffering etc.). Any insight on what may have happened? I was getting like 400+ mbps now it can't stream SD without buffering. Nothing else has changed insofar as placement of the router/mesh point or internet service.

@Magua why haven't you forced me to get it yet?

There are people on here that know much more about this than I do, but after researching which one I wanted and getting a mesh network myself, I have found that most problems people have come about when the mesh network updates firmware. If nothing else, you can try to go back to an previous version.

Maybe your neighbor is a Russian spy and has hacked into your network and is using the bandwidth for a bot network to distribute propaganda.

This was my initial thought but there is very little evidence of this.
