Funny, I never have trouble finding size 13, but I'm more of a 12.5. They don't sell or make them at any stores, so I can't even try them on to test out my theory. Couple years ago, I was on Amazon looking for some Merrells, and I noticed they did have a 12.5 option available, it jacked the price up from 100 to like 250. So I guess they do make them but in very limited supply.

Not a mistake but etiquette. I spent some time in Jersey and New York and noticed it was not uncommon for a car in the left turn lane to gun it when the light turned green and impede oncoming traffic. Rarely do I see that in the midwest and when I do I call it as it is, the Jersey Pullout.

I made this account shortly after watching Jackass 4. One of the new guys brings his dad on, this guy served time and did not look like he was one to fuck with. They put his head in a fishbowl with a tarantula and he instantly went into full bitch mode. That man's name was Dark Shark.

Yes, he said that as one of his major points on his Rogan interview, granted he said that while mocking Biden's climate policies.

There were a few things I liked, but the alliance missions got really stale. I feel like if the writing was even 10% of what the witcher had, I would have cared about these dozens of side characters, that you only see again at the end of the game. Just blew me away how lazily the cut scenes and scripted portions were made, really gave me the quantity over quality vibe early on in the game.

I actually enjoyed that game, was the first and only mafia game I played. I really like the cars and music of that era, the racial tensions also added a lot to the story and gameplay.

My vote for worst energy vampire game would be AC Valhalla, just barely fun enough to keep me playing for over 150 hours just to see how the story concludes. Wow what a waste of time that was, story made almost no sense on the ISU side and the conflict building with your brother ends with him just giving his clan to you.

Same, but the Easter egg from the moon map on Black Ops 1. Me and my friend played everyday after school for months. It was one of the first that didn't require a full squad and it was heavily chance based because of the stupid excavators. Finally got all the dominoes to fall in the right order and we got it done, which resulted in us blowing up the Earth. Mission accomplished I guess.

Can't tell if this is satire, but it does get political and dramatic later in the season. Flashbacks to pre-war seen through Walton Goggins who plays the ghoul. The violence though, that does not slow down and I loved it.

I liked it, well I liked the 2 Skillex songs cause that's what introduced me to Skrillex and dubstep as a genre.

Favorite: Basil Hayden Toasted

Runner up: New Holland Origin

Frequent Buys: Buffalo Trace, Bulleit, and Woodford.

I really like the New Holland Orign, if you can find it I highly reccomend trying it. They do have a cheaper bottle called beer barrel bourbon which is similar but the Orign has a unique smokey taste to it that adds another layer to each sip.

Really good show, it has the whimsical imagination that made a lot of the early rick and morty episodes great. Much more serious and down to earth than rick and morty though. I might rewatch it now since I'm talking about it.

Sovereign's Reign. Great HBO show that got put on Netflix I think.

 
 

So recently my work, a mid sized engineering firm, decided to start upgrading their IT security. The rumor is that we have potential DOD work coming our way. Over the past few months there has been multiple company decided changes to our 2 factor authentication mobile app. I willingly installed the app on my phone over a year ago because without it I could no longer use my laptop out of office and couldn't use Microsoft teams or outlook on my phone.

So about 2 months ago my company updated the 2FA policy and because of that, my phone is no longer compliant on the basis of it being to old. The initial consequences were that I lost access to email and teams on my phone, not a big deal because I prefer not to think about work on my off hours. Fortunately, I could still use a txt message to 2FA into my laptop incase I did need to work from home.

Fast forward to last Friday, our IT director sent out an email saying they were again making changes to the 2FA policy over the weekend. Among other things, the changes included removing the txt 2FA option, meaning I could no longer access anything work related as soon as I step out of my office building. Sounds like a dream right, and a good excuse to fall back on.

Come Monday, I find out that I need to use the 2FA app to access our payroll software to fill out my timesheet, even when I am inside the office sitting at my desk. Luckily, I filled out my previous weeks timesheet on Friday. So next Monday, as far as I'm aware, I will not be able to fill out my timesheet to get paid.

My situation: I will admit I am stubborn about buying new electronics, my phone is a Samsung S8 that I bought in 2017 when it was brand new. I currently see no benefits of anything the new phones have to offer but the day my phone decides to die, I will gladly walk into a store and buy a brand new android phone. My work does not provide cell phones and has refused my request to compensate me for my work related phone usage. I have been very vocal to my manager and bosses that they cannot force me to buy a new phone just to continue doing my job efficiently, and now it seems doing my job at all. The responses I have recieved were very indirect and not at all helpful to my situation. Really, I just want them to give me an ultimatum or some other option. I am not willing to lose my job over this but I dont want to give in and buy a new phone just so I can click OK on an 2FA app.

So Lemmy, how should I approach this ticking time bomb?
