SARGE

I assume "oopsie woopsie " is not a typical phrase in the Netherlands, and it's like Ned Flanders from The Simpsons saying "whoospie doodle"?

To many people nowadays, the actual job itself doesn't matter, it's the fact that it's a job and it pays.

You can get a pretty good idea of someone's size by their head and neck. Larger and taller people have bigger necks, and fatter people have.. Well, more fat.

Is it bad that the only reason I thought the story was fake was "there's no way that sized person cut off someone's head completely, maybe after a dozen chops and some pulling but that article is definitely exaggerating"

You know, rather than "Holy shit that's insane nobody would do that"

It was.

In Ohio? I'm almost positive it isn't legal. It's definitely illegal in states like California. But they're banking on nobody recording their interview audio (which I will now be doing as Ohio is single-party state) and nobody complaining if asked.

I doubt it's a company policy, but I did send an email to their company offices to complain about it, for all the good it will do.

Not programming, but in the same vein, A Trek Bicycle store manager asked me in an interview if I would be willing to work a trial shift the next day building bicycles. Unpaid, of course. Just to see if I was a good fit.

Of course, since I was used to building 50 a day, I would have gotten all of them done in a single shift whereas they were needing to call in stores from surrounding areas to come help in a few days.

I laughed and said if they needed help tomorrow I would be happy to work for my usual fee of $20/bike.

Oddly, I did not get the job

Fight fire with napalm.

Works every time.

Every extreme sport is insane if you dissect it with rational thought about human frailty.

It's great!

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go strip to thin breathable cloth so I can tear along the countryside at speeds humans weren't designed to travel at, while dodging trees, bushes, occasional wildlife, roots and rocks, hoping my air filled donut bladders don't rupture and none of the welds on my metal stick give out. Once I'm done I'll cool off with a nice downhill roll, rivaling the cheetah on speed.

That said... Caves are one of those places I'd love to go to one someday but it won't be relaxing for me. They can be scary as FUCK. Don't even get me started on cave diving. Those people are insane and in need of therapy.
