Have you ever wondered? Are you just a bit curious? Just a nosy buttinski of a person in general? Then this post is for you!!

@f00l why not

@f00l Beats me.

@f00l @ThomasF who beats you?

@ThomasF @mikibell

Beats me.

Pix pls.

@f00l Seriously, I want to know too.

@f00l @mikibell

@capguncowboy It’s a bonus. Enjoy!

@riskybryzness If disappointments are bonus, then I’m a lot like the one Mike Corbat got from Citi last year!

@capguncowboy Well, every morning Chad gathers us up for a big team motivational speech then asks us for new ways we can let the customers down. Really gets the brain working.

@capguncowboy @Targaryen

We want a vid of the daily company gathering for morning pep rally and calisthenics.

/giphy meh pep rally

@capguncowboy @f00l @Targaryen Meh pep rallies really just involve @chadp running around with a whoopie cushion @cythwulf left on his chair.

@RiotDemon I used to be very high stress. But now I’ve mellowed and am working on my patience. Anyway, there is one answer.

@RiotDemon All my bryzness is risky. Also, it’s my favorite hockey player of all time:

@ChadP
My answer was going to be well… you deal with us very well - cause we are nutz

@RiotDemon I do occasionally sport a cardigan,but since we reside in TX it is a rare moment cause … hot …TX …hot

@riskybryzness I both miss and don’t miss him equally here in Philly. Btw, from what I see online it appears this is his house in Haddonfield, NJ. Should be about 5 minutes from where I play softball. Shall I stop by and say hi for you?

@cinoclav If he’s out mowing the lawn tell him he has a cute cat.

My favorite line from him is: “I’m not afraid of anything. Except bear…but bear in forest.”

@riskybryzness Aww, he does have a cute cat!

@cinoclav @riskybryzness

@cinoclav @riskybryzness And Bryz can go take a long walk off a short pier as far as I’m concerned. Biggest thief in all of Flyers history.

@cinoclav @riskybryzness

@RiotDemon @riskybryzness OMG he is adorable!

@jsh139 Yeah, but his insanity balanced out his play.

@cinoclav off the ice he was funny as hell. Just sucks that we gave up on Bob and put that pile of trash in net.

@jsh139 It’s the Flyers way. I’m almost surprised they haven’t traded Carter Hart for a 4th line center.

@cinoclav Or a way-past-his-prime winger/d-man.

@medz Yes and those fake sky lights that had been talked about. Did they get bought and what do people think about them?

@Kidsandliz @medz The skylights look like our robot overlords .

@medz I’ll put one together soon.

@ChadP

@medz I’ll put one together soon.
ChadP said Monday at 3:03 PM

What is your definition of “soon”?

@medz @RedOak Earlier than later.

@hems79 YES THAT!!

@hems79 Whenever we’re put in charge of deciding that, I’d guess.

@hems79 YES! We want an Irk plush!!

@cinoclav Let me get everyone together–just a sec.

@cinoclav

@riskybryzness A few of y’all need your eyes examined.

@cinoclav @riskybryzness I forgot how great @Chadp looked in this pic.

@ChadP @Cythwulf @riskybryzness Must be a real bitch choosing teams for the sack race.

@ChadP @cinoclav @Cythwulf You have no idea.

@cinoclav @riskybryzness We have to take another. I blinked.

@cinoclav @nommynoms Potato bombed.

@cinoclav @nommynoms @riskybryzness OK that one is NSFW

@narfcake Daily?

@ChadP @narfcake

Usually because of @Targaryen or @Cythwulf

And then ChadP signs off on it.

@ChadP @Cythwulf @narfcake @ThomasF I’m “an ideas” guy. I actually have a notebook sitting next to me filled with stuff to try or consider at some point.

@ChadP @Cythwulf @narfcake @Targaryen @ThomasF Do you have an elevator speech ready to go?

@dashcloud Fish has been warmed, yes.

@therealjrn not yet

@therealjrn only my lawyer knows for sure

@thismyusername My cat when I’m walking anywhere in the house.

@bullrocky Maybe? They test their packing/shipping methods from time to time, at least.

@bullrocky @narfcake Well, now I understand why Meh purchases always take so long to ship.

Also - I see what they did there - nice Office Space spoof.

@bullrocky

@bullrocky

@bullrocky

/giphy Me!

(If every VMP would please answer the roll call, so that we can get a good count. And thanks.)

@bullrocky

@bullrocky

@bullrocky

@bullrocky

@bullrocky Kinda.

@bullrocky

@bullrocky There are at least 400 – since they sold 400 VMP IRKs today

@bullrocky Meh! I mean, me!

@brainmist @bullrocky @joelmw

/giphy f00l

@bullrocky
Yo

@bullrocky @joelmw Present.

@bullrocky hi.

(We’re just a few away from “over 400” check-ins.)

@bullrocky I’m still here.

@debraae I work for local government and have spent most of my career in the public sector.

A list of ingredients

• draconian filtering in the name of security and public accountability or whatthefuckever (depends on the day; the draconian is constant)
• some measure of incompetence on the part of IT security staff
• fluctuations of opinion among IT staff and decision makers about what constitutes a threat and/or inappropriate activity
• news reports that make the abovementioned nervous

To be honest, my previous public sector employer had an excellent IT staff and were pretty good about things. Anyway, in my current position at my current agency, the ingredients combine to create an inconsistent and often ugly meh. Which I put up with and work around in the various ways I can finagle.

I’ve found that image hosting is a big part of the problem whenever there’s a problem. They don’t want us to put stuff in the cloud or to access raw materials from the cloud. I don’t want They don’t want us to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career from the cloud. I don’t want They don’t want us to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed from the cloud. You know, as a career from the cloud, I don’t want they don’t want us to do that.

/giphy say anything

@debraae you too? When I get on meh at work it’s all on top of each other. Like in the forums the top part is overplayed with the question part etc, hard to read stuff. Very weird.

@xenophod Take new pictures of your cat and don’t do bitcoins, they’re like the new meth.

@tyliketea

@tyliketea red meat allergy from a tick bite?.. I need to research this

@tyliketea Hello neighbor!

@tyliketea

You seem to be nicely acclimated to this setting.

@pyroguy7 @tyliketea yeah, it is linked to the Lone Star tick, which given the number of cattle in TX is really pretty fucking ironic…

@RedHot I’m sorry, what was your name again?

@therealjrn @RedHot

@jmoor783 Wait, is this not Media Ochre Labs

@jmoor783 @ThomasF Silly boy, this is Medium Okra Labs.

@cinoclav @jmoor783 @ThomasF yeah, don’t eat the large ones… they have a texture like baseball bats.

@brainmist The mud.

@joelmw there’s roughly 42 million protein molecules in a simple cell – does this count?

@joelmw

The question (to which the answer is 42) is that incredibly meaningful and profound epistemologically quandary:

that question regarding which all humanity put together will not live long enough, nor have sufficient brain power, wisdom and depth of insight, to begin to formulate in any language comprehensible to humans.

/giphy 42

It speaks for itself. Or it doesn’t.

(assuming that we are feeling very binary today. [There are other possibilities.])

/image Kierkegaard Either/Or

@joelmw I love that movie!
…she turned me into a newt…the holy hand grenade… it’s nothing but a flesh wound… a shrubbery?
So many great (classic) bits.

@dashcloud
About 4 months in from me being hired we had one of our quarterly meetings. Towards the end, Snapster brought up that we might have Ken Jennings head in our warehouse.

I don’t remember the full story, I’m not sure why he’s here, but Ken Jennings parade float-esque head is in a box in our warehouse.

It took me an additional 3 months of forgetting to ask about it, but eventually I got to go visit this giant random head. Well. I got to visit what I think was hair and maybe an eyebrow. The whole time I was thinking of The Face of Boe.

I’d like to say that’s the quirkiest thing that has happened while at this job, but I can’t guarantee that.

@dashcloud @riskybryzness @snapster outbid me on eBay for it. I was going to burn it in effigy as a protest of Mr. Jennings political views. So, meh probably has kept me out of jail. Thanks meh!

@riskybryzness Thank you! I’ve got some extra Steam keys lying around- let me know if you want one.

@dashcloud @riskybryzness @snapster I think the w00t post discussing the auction of the giant Ken Jennings head got lost in the rollover to the new forums. But the story is (as I recall): When w00t hired Ken Jennings to write a weekly blog post, the head was offered up by Ken’s hometown or something after a parade they had in his honor. So w00t bought the thing and it was proudly on display at the w00t headquarters.

Time came for a move (or something) so w00t auctioned off the head with the proceeds going to a “helping hands” simian charity. I think @dell ran the eBay auction (she can probably fill in the details) and I put in a drunken high bid. (I’ve since sobered up and quit drinking)

My bid stood for a few days when I was outbid by a mysterious stranger on eBay at the last minute. Whew! I’m glad the head landed up safely there at Mediocre Labs.

My drunken plan (I’ve since sobered up–did I mention?) was to film the head being burned in effigy while “somebody” wearing a Trump mask danced wildly around it. Ken’s not a big fan of our current president, I’m assuming the feeling is mutual. Surely nothing would go wrong with that, right?

@dashcloud I can’t say no to that!

@mfladd I’ve been summoned!

@starlamae You have!

Hi!

@PooltoyWolf so sad…
where always the last one picked for dodgeball too?

@PooltoyWolf How come why for little wolf?

@chienfou I never played dodgeball but I get the feeling I’d have been a massive visual target. Lol

@therealjrn I seem like one of a few regulars not mentioned haha

@PooltoyWolf Oh! I see, well, this group of regulars that was asked is regular because they are paid to be here–it is a list of staffers–which is kinda what this thread is about. It was an invitation to ask meh staffers questions.

@therealjrn And now I feel dumb haha. Thanks for setting me straight!

@CaptAmehrican thats a really nice burrito you got there. The only thing I can recommend adding is some cheese. Maybe some Monterey jack!

I like to keep it simple when it comes to breakfast. Bacon and eggs does it for me but my all time fav has to be chorizo and eggs. In the end a burrito should come from heart or whatever you have in fridge, Idk it depends how hungry you are.

@CaptAmehrican Short answer: Yes!
More details? Ok!
Those familiar with PoGo mechanics will find LOTS of parallels in Wizards Unite, which isn’t too surprising. There is definitely a wizarding world flavor to it all and the story line so far is enjoyable. The most common complaint is lack of spell energy (pokeball equivalent) especially in “Inn-poor”/rural areas. But there’s a pretty much given 10 a day, which isn’t terrible. I haven’t had to spend actual USD yet to enjoy it, though I probably will. Niantic seems to be working through issues quickly and I’ve seen a couple updates come through already.
I’m interested to see if they will create a gift feature for friends. I hope so!
Solid game.
