Situated Puns

Trying to understand what we can do with our current situation..

We are first time home owners and our home was built in the 40s. Since we moved in, we have had to have our sewer line snaked 3 times in 3 years at about $450 each time. Typically it's just from too much paper being flushed or a guest not knowing the wipes are only for the kids and not for flushing. Regardless, we just had a back up this week. We have a full bathroom on our first floor and the tub will fill up with upstairs waste and that's when we know it needs snaking.

This past week this happened and we called our plumber. They told us about a service which essentially like power washes the line and has a warranty covering all future back ups. This was 1300 and they would do the initial snaking for free. Seemed like a no brainer so we agreed to do it. That was Monday night.

Thursday morning we woke up and our downstairs was freezing. 52 degrees and when I opened the bathroom door the tub and toilet were both overflowing and floor drenched. I immediately shut off the water, called the plumber and got the kids out of the house to daycare.

Long story short was they didn't complete the cleaning and left a major clog where our pipe meets the street. We have water in all our duct work from the vent in the bathroom floor and the duct work is sagging in our crawl space. Our hard wood floors are warped for about a 10ft radius from the bathroom. We are waiting on our home insurance company to come out this week to assess the situation.

Are the plumbers at all liable? Do we need to involve a lawyer? Does home owners cover this sort of situation? All and any advice is appreciated!

Let’s have some fun with the players nicknames/ names, brought up by the commentators in various situations throughout the game. Sometimes their puns are either quite hilarious or absolutely ridiculous.

I’ll give you two:

“Looks like Maguires Fire has finally extinguished...”

“Will Robertson’s game stand the Thai-Photon? Let’s brace ourselves for a storm coming up”

Now you ;)

It wasnt until eating dinner the other day that when it comes to "Situational Puns", lately I've been on a roll.... Buh-Dum-Chhh.....

Here's some of the corniest ones I have come up with UNINTENTIONALLY on the spot.....

I ordered Wingstop for a friend via DD and when he asked what type car I replied... "They dont tell you, I usually just go outside and Wing It. He he he.

When visiting that SAME friend a few days later I forgot about the plastic bag rule and attempted to fill my pockets and pants with groceries. (Dont judge me) As I walked thru the door I simultaneously said "Watch out I got a HOT POCKET " (referring sarcastically to the groceries as stolen goods) AS my box of hot pockets fell out my pants. Ha ha ha.

I labeled my cats litter box ,

The TURD World Country

Hehehe *Not so situational I Suppose

It also just so happens my Kittys name is Goose The Great Catsby !!

I crack myself up !!

So I'm staying with my grandma temporarily after a break up until I get an apartment. I had a couple buds over and we were just watching music videos talking about psychedelics and what not, I haven't met some people as cool as them in awhile actually..

So I decided these sirs deserved some free acid. I gave them each like 5 doses before they left and accidentally left what was left of the half sheet in my pocket.

You know how grandma's are, they love to cook for you and do your laundry. Well she checked my pockets before washing my pants like a decent human being and asked me what this big piece of paper was and that it looked like something to do drugs with(she's cool with pot and knows I use LSD and stuff and is VERY drug naieve. I mean this 70 year old woman has never even touched any drug and has only been drunk one time in her life). But I didn't necessarily see it appropriate to tell her that it was like a somewhat decent amount of acid.

I work as a general manager at a car detailing place. So I thought quick with my wits on what to say. I told her "Oh grandma no please don't think that, those are PH strips used to dunk into our chemical concentrates after dillution to make sure it doesn't eat car paint off." I then went on to show her how they have to be measured and cut up and I had to do that for work anyways. So I asked if she had a ruler and I cut it into 4 ten strips and thanked her for her help.

I promise she actually had no idea that it was acid, she really is as innocent as I say. Sweet sweet oldady. Probably didn't even have to lie. But hey, funny story and I got to show my grandma how to properly cut up a non perforated sheet :)

Love ya grandma <3

Me and my gf are about to have our first kid so we baught a new couch. One she loves and really takes care of. Well I was just at home. Last night was New Year's so hung over.

There is no sensitive way to say this but as I was sitting on the couch in my underwear I sharded out of nowhere. I am being legit. I need help fixing this s##ty situation.

I left a stain on the couch which I tried to clean up quickly with just towels and water. I got most of the s##t part out but left a large water stain now too.

My latest one was today, at a friend's house. She noticed that there was a condom (still in the wrapping) on her stove, to which she obviously reacted by saying out loud "Why is there a condom on my stove?"
My reply was "In case things get a bit heated".
This was promptly met with a look, a laugh and then something thrown at me.

Hello guys

I've landed myself into a unique situation (pun intended).

I study in London but I'm currently in sydney Australia for an exchange program... and my home university has told me to go back to my home country (India)/UK.

Assuming everything else will be fine (acedemic wise) I just wanted some advice on what would happen if I did decide to leave sydney, health wise.

Please let me know what you guys think.

Any help is appreciated.

So I'm a total lurker on tumblr not least because I can't really figure out how to use it, so while I maybe should be writing this there, I'm posting here instead.

EDIT I realize I have way too much to say on this so I'm splitting it up into a few posts...

Occasionally on tumblr there seem to be some good takes on "parasocial" relationships and the nature of the Taylor fandom, which I'm here for. There was also a good post a few weeks ago about the hierarchy of fans Taylor created with the secret sessions, and how they were viewed as entitled to have insight/opinions that are objectively more valid than other fans'. But (and I think this post also laid it out) the same thing is happening on tumblr with the Gaylor experts who admittedly spend like their waking hours researching and thinking about this stuff, but that doesn't mean that they don't have their same blinders on/confirmation bias when it comes to their "objective" understanding of Taylor's "reality."

So, a few things I need to rant about - the tumblr backlash against TTB is causing a whole baby with the bathwater situation (PUN INTENDED) w/r/t Kaylor and it's a bit nuts.

1. SO FOR STARTERS There is no evidence that Kaylor are still together, the baby is an elaborate ruse, etc. That is totally crazy as is whatever doxxing or whatever else is happening to those who disagreed. 100% toxic fandom.

2. THAT SAID, the fact that TTBers have spun off into this insanity does not discount the very obvious references to Karlie from 2013/2014 on. Which does not mean they are still together but does suggest a rs that happened! Based on the music, their own instagram posts, and the pap photos, Kaylor existed in some form between 2014-2016. Yes it could be it was all pr for the squad, but then all the more subtle easter eggs are really overkill and make no sense.

• For example -the locket series. You cannot tell me that it just so happens Big Sur was 3/5/14 and then we have both Karlie and Taylor posting anniversary and locket related love posts on 3/5/15 and again 3/5/16. Or that Calvin and Taylor just happen to share the same anniversary as the Big Sur trip. Only other explanation than, they were dating off and on that whole time, is that they're pushing the Kaylor narrative for that subset of fans in addition to their public relationships for the GP. Which, maybe, but that's nuts. And then you have the lyrics in DWOHT, which is so obviously a song about taboo love, "picture of your

Ever have those moments where you question your life choices that led you to this particular moment in time, the combination of all paths that led you to this specific extremely shitty situation. (Pun intended)

I had one of those yesterday. I have been working with my dog on training her to hold for longer period of time (4 hours) since she is now 8 months. I have been very careful to constantly watch her after 2 hours to make sure she doesn’t have accidents.

Yesterday, I walk her out for 15 mins and let her loose in the house and start the roomba. I was gone for an hour doing my thing because why not. She won’t pee or poop in the house. WRONG.......

I walk into the hall to a barking puppy, and behold the glorious Picasso waiting for me in the hall. Neat straight lines of poop smeared across the entire hall carpet, under the tv stand, under every corner it can go. Poop is encrusted into every single crevice of the roomba. The stink, ohh my god the stink. I could smell it in my dreams. It is in this moment I questioned my life choices

I had to rush to Home Depot to rent a steam vacuum to clean the carpet. I spent hours removing poop from the roomba and there is still a lot of poop in small holes that I am yet to clean. God have mercy on me.

So this is your PSA, if you have a roomba be very careful or you will have a not so nice day

These last few days, parts of the creekwalk have been almost unwalkable because of the smell. Is it even possible for the city to ever fix this issue? I know that the sewer system overflows into the creek when its at capacity and that would probably need a multi million dollar system re work, but its definitely a shitty situation (pun intended)

I think almost everyone here has heard of some variation of the idea that speedsters are incredibly hard to balance and/or hard to write in interesting ways. I'm normally inclined to agree myself; they are generally not well-suited to stories in you average comic or shounen manga/anime, simply by virtue of the fact that they are exceptionally well-equippd to do the type of stuff your average comic character would (i.e., punch bad guys in the face, with a new group of people to punch in the face as the series progresses). You could pit trained fighter against a literal child and they would get absolutely mopped most times.

Most measures to "balance" these characters are poorly-thought out and creatively bankrupt. Defeating a speedster by using some magic macguffin to nerf or outright remove their speed or having the speedster job a fight might just be the most uninteresting way to handle a character (you can probably feel my frustration with DC comics through just this sentence alone).

Enter Made In Heaven.

(!MAJOR PART 6 SPOILERS BELOW!)

Made In Heaven can broadly be understood the same way as your generic nigh-invincible fastboi character. They can move too fast to be reacted to, they can kill you in a single hit by virtue of how much more kinetic energy they can impart, and more. However, despite Part 6's many faults, Araki did a really good job designing MiH so that it doesn't fall into the same narrative traps that someone like the Flash can.

MiH is not a generic speed buff and carries severe limitations

• MiH accelerates its user, Enrico Pucci, and all non-biological activity. That second part can and does backfire on him. Let's say that everything was accelerated by 100 times as an example. That still means that a bullet exiting a gun travels thousands of times faster than him. Sure, he gets faster, but many sources of damage scale the same way and still remain dangerous. MiH also cannot be deactivated once it begins. Sure Pucci moves fast, but it's not just some tool that can easily be toggled on and off. Once it's on, you're essentially locked in, on a crash-course to the heat death of the universe.

MiH's user still has many bodily limitations

• Most speedsters are given a large number of additional powers to allow them to fully use their speed. They react faster, run farther, don't burst into flames when running, and so on. Pucci and MiH still have some of these but many of Pucci's bodily limitations are still

Soon after you find yourself crawling out of a flaming dumpster fire of a situation (pun intended) and back in the clutches of Night City after the prologue, one of your first side quests requires you to retrieve your vehicle from the parking garage. Let’s just say for the sake of spoilers you may find yourself in need of a new ride shortly after. Once completing the mission You will receive a multitude of messages containing car deals. Here’s the tip: SAVE YOUR EDDIES instead of spending your hard earned eddies on a pricey four wheel piece of junk, complete the mission “Heroes”. You will receive a reward that is far better than any vehicle you can purchase at the time. Hope this helps! Stay golden Mercs.

Posting here for a friend, hoping some of you pros could shed some light on this situation. (Pun intended) My friend is starting her lash tech business and is basically buying the equipment needed to set up her space. In terms of lighting, is the glamcor elite X as good as people say? Or is she better off buying a ring light for cheaper off Amazon?

Has anyone here had experience with 1 or the other? Or even better, experience with both? Any recommendations, or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Dramatis Persona

CURRENT CREW:

· Gnügnawtü:  Half-orc paladin (oath of the ancients), formerly known as Gnaw the Barbarian, follower of the Black Lion, the totem deity of his Uthgardt tribe. Hates the undead because they can’t be impressed by his sweet moves.  Has recurring dreams of being a mountain king.  Trying to figure out how to be a paladin but lacks a positive role model.  Enjoys smashing things and doing other orc stuff with Grotho.  Has excellent self-restraint and judgement.

· Hal Fyre Transmuten: Tiefling rogue/bard (school of blades), and the scion of a noble house who rejected his lineage after seeing first-hand the spoiled emptiness and moral decay of the nobility.  Independent, highly educated and observant, he enjoys a solid “frenemy” relationship with Gnü founded on his frequent (but good natured) mockery of Gnü’s poor judgement and complete lack of self-restraint (and his tendency to take advantage of Gnu’s lack of the religion proficiency).  Though mischievous and plotting, his fiendish exterior hides a heart of gold, most visible in his kindness towards the children and cats of the realm.

· Grotho: Half-Orc bard (school of valor), Grotho wanders the land with his bagpipes, his muscles, and a taste for unusual culinary opportunities.  As quick (and as skilled) with his axe as with his music.  Buffest of all possible bards, creator of Grotho’s Manly Hut (a much cooler version of Tiny Hut), eater of dried frog, creative user of Tasha’s Hideous Laughter, voted sexiest man in Valaki.

· Hubbins: Dwarf rogue (arcane trickster), a simple dwarf with a simple problem: he doesn’t have all the gold.  Working to right this injustice, he takes every opportunity for some light larceny while he waits for bigger hauls.  Gifted at making dramatic shots with his bow.  Thinks lack of beer is Barovia’s biggest problem by far.

· Mercury Speedygust: Dragonborn (brass) warlock (fae patron), mercurial in more than name, he is prone to fits of vengeance and experienced with poisons… a dangerous combination.  His patron did not see fit to grant him eldritch blast, so he has been making do with Chill Touch and his weapons, difficult in Barovia.  Hal Fyre’s rival in plotting, but without Hal’s moral qualms.

· The DM:  Omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, paid for the whole adventure but only getting to use half due to a series of increasingly unfortunate events.  Creative on the fly, patience of a saint.

YET TO BE

Look, this early off-season has seen seismic shifts in many of the highest-profile college programs. But we know instinctively that relatively few of these hires actually meet the expectations professed during that inaugural press conference.

Question, of these programs (USC, LSU, Okla, ND, Florida, Oregon, MiamI et al.) which do you think is in the best position for dominance?

I'll go first, I think it might be USC. Lincoln Riley's coaching style combined with the relative furtive recruiting ground in SoCal with a lack of competition compared to the other conferences place it in a really good position in the PAC as well as in the nation.

Your thoughts?

Yeah, always knew I was rolling the dice eating commissary sushi and yesterday I cashed in my bad luck. I had the night shift on a backend gate yesterday and even before I drove up I was having stomach issues. However, I thought the worst was over and I could tough out the stomach pains for only an 8 hour shift.

The first 6 hours went by smoothly, my MP "partner" was being a big help on his phone the entire shift but i didnt care, greeting cars and checking ids kept me busy and thats what I needed.

It started when I finished my 2nd monster. Im not accustomed to this gasoline fuel of an energy drink and it was causing my stomach to turn. I got my MP to the gate and rushed to the port a john to retch. Of course nothing came out, so I retched harder just trying to get that nausea feeling away. On the last cough, i felt liquid run down my pants and down to my boots.

Not sure how long I stood there in shock but eventually i went into damage control mode. I wiped up what i could see by the light of my phone and mentally prepared myself to tell a PFC mp to call the guard post because I shat myself.

I walked bow legged to the MP. Luckily he could tell by my expression that this was a no shit situation (pun intended) and called the guard post and asked for the guard vehicle to take me to my car (i had spare gym clothes and the station had a shower). They were only 1 minute away so i thought help was on the way....

Boy was I fucking wrong. 10 minutes went by, then 20, then 30, then 45. I was pacing around trying to keep my mind clear, thankfully it was dead outside so nobody saw me. Finally, about an hour later the guard vehicle drove up and asked what happened. I told him what happened and about my spare clothes. He asked is they were OCPs and i said they weren't. I figured since there was less than an hour on shift left the mp could work the last hour.

Boy was I fucking wrong because it took 2 people about 5 minutes to convince 1 guy that having a shit covered nco guarding the gate who was 2 seconds from calling every fucking member of his chain of command was a bad idea. Finally we convinced him to let me change and get off early. He put trash bags on the seat and I immediately rushed to the shower and washed some of the humiliation away. So thats how my Monday went.

When you own a condo, you only own the airspace in the unit but also hold an interest in the lot the condo is built on. However, in Thailand, foreigners can't own land.

But if foreigners can't own land in Thailand and are allowed to own freehold condo units that come with an interest in the association and the land the units are built on, does that mean that foreigners can own a small interest in land in Thailand?

Do you think GW forgot about this in later years?

Roomba + puppy = Armageddon. The perfect and befitting end to 2020

Obligatory this happened yesterday and was initially posted to puppy 101 and someone suggested I post here

Ever have those moments where you question your life choices that led you to this particular moment in time, the combination of all paths that led you to this specific extremely shitty situation. (Pun intended)

I had one of those yesterday. I have been working with my dog on training her to hold for longer period of time (4 hours) since she is now 8 months. I have been very careful to constantly watch her after 2 hours to make sure she doesn’t have accidents.

So this is your PSA, if you have a roomba be very careful or you will have a not so nice day

TLDR: tifu by turning on the roomba unsupervised and it picked up puppy accident, which we didn’t see, and left streaks across the entire hall.
