Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.

Flowers are starting to fill in more, looks like an actual flower garden and not just some random weeds now.

Waiting for the pro tips from Brick on what I shoulda done with my photos.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.


I need to stop doing research for this draft because I didn’t need to know this was a thing

This draft [for terrible album covers] is either the best idea I’ve ever had or the worst idea I’ve ever had, and it quite possibly could be both

I feel like I’m in a 90s stand up bit. There’s a rather large man solo at the bar where I’m having lunch who just ordered wings, a chicken parm, and a bbq sandwich and then asked what kind of diet sodas they have.

My son was into Thundercats too. He had a really cool Big Wheel, that was missing a few of it’s features because Gumby and I gave up on the assembly at about 3 am on Christmas Eve. He didn’t miss them, can’t miss what you don’t know about. I still have his action figures.

Woke up this morning to a broken refrigerator. That sucked. But then we realized that it was just that there was no power in the entire house. That was better!

Then I had to call the power company to report an outage. That sucked, because they’ve started doing that “prove you’re not a robot” shit, (are there a lot of robots calling in fake power outage reports? If so, “weird,” as certain sports “journalists” would say), where you have to check off all the pictures with a crosswalk in them, but by the time I persuaded Captcha that I, unlike a robot, knew what a bridge was the power was back on.

It’s truly been a rollercoaster of a morning here at Casa de Cornblower.

I’ve got to take a Preventing Workplce Harassment Training that’s specifically for California employees. I hope it wasn’t created by Eric Swalwell

Yeah, cuz they totally care about employees and not just about protecting the company 🙄

Man, they don’t even let us hear the offensive joke!

And they assume that a joke about redheads is about gender? Offensive! I tell jokes about soulless gingers of all genders!

The photo with the “blurry” flowers is perfect. The near flower is the subject, the rear flowers become backdrop.

That is short “depth of field,” where the lens is set to a narrow focus band. Depth of field is controlled by 3 factors that work together: focal length, focus distance, and aperture. A short depth of field means only the selected depth is in focus; a long depth of field means almost everything is in focus.

Depth of field is made smaller by: 1) Longer focal length; 2) Closer focus distance; and 3) Smaller aperture number (i.e. f/2.8) which means a larger aperture opening.

Depth of field is made longer by: 1) Shorter focal length lens; 2) Focus distance closer to infinity; and 3) Higher aperture number (i.e. f/22) which means a smaller aperture opening).

This simple formula should help explain DoF:

Along the lines of my question to 2Pack, and some military guys being inclined to exaggerate their service accomplishments, one of the guys I played cards with did a few years in the Army, driving a truck. Someone was razzing him about not being in Special Forces and he replied “Fuck that. I used to have to drive those guys to their drop off point for training, then pick them up again 40 miles away a week later and they looked like shit. I stayed with the truck.”

Brick Meathook

Before we left on a patrol, Navy Seals would come alongside in their mike boat and use a pneumatic rotary buffer to scrub all the marine growth off our waterline. Those brave American heroes never missed a spot. Where do we find such men?

Gay bars, from what some guy on the internet told me.

I assume the owner’s meeting will consist of 7 hours making fun of Jed York before they give him the number of the discreet and discrete ‘dating’ service Mark Davis gets his tonight girlfriends from

No no, Mark Davis has settled down. His new EVERY DAY girlfriend is a 38 year-old woman named Dr. Alexandria Lightning.

Mark has an NFL franchise but that dude’s passion is being a WNBA owner.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It seems as though they have brought him a lot more joy.

2Pack

Thank you Sir, fine trip down last week’s memories lane.

I am friggin smoked. The last two days have been in the assist mode for a full kitchen installation. Getting cabinets doors, appliances and molding all lined up is no joy ride folks. The final product is worth it. And now when things break 5 or 10 years from now, I will have a clue on how to get after repairs or replacement.

Retirement is kinda kicking my azz more than anticipated.

Doktor Zymm

When my mother retired I swear the first few years were busier than when she was working. It’s been fairly calm since they finished building the sun room, although the combination of a mouse and a dishwasher hose did cause some excitement last month

2Pack

We knew this summer was going to be hectic. Once this renovation is done we will get after the serious goofing off that retirement offers.

Horatio Cornblower

2Pack, I have a question for you. I’m about to go into a deposition with a former Navy Seal. I have my doubts that he was, in fact, a Navy Seal. There is, I think, a form military gets when discharged, a DDS-something-or-other. Can you let me know what that is? Thanks.

Also, if he is a Navy Seal, how badly am I about to get beat up?

Horatio Cornblower

DD214, found it, never mind, as you were, (retired, remodeling a kitchen, and wondering if it wouldn’t be easier to be invading Russia in the winter)

2Pack

Yeah his 214 tells his whole, documented training, awards and service years. If you think he’s a poser, checkpoint number 1 is if he produces that. If he balks that’s a red flag. If he says it’s classified he’s bullshiting. You may want to get in contact with a legitimate SEAL and ask him to chat with the guy. A real service member with true credentials can spot a poser after a 10 minute conversation.

Brick Meathook

The discharge paper is Form DD-214. That’s the magic ticket, store in a safe place.

Fake Navy Seals look like body builders. Real Navy Seals look like they just walked out of a gay bar (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I’m serious, look it up. Do your own research.

Horatio Cornblower

Shit, this guy might be the real deal then.

blaxabbath

I never got a DD-214. I got like a receipt for a DD214. Even to get my VA loan, I had to go through my US Senator’s office (NOT John McCain, believe it or not, whose office had no interest in this constituent/veteran).
I requested my files one time. It was boring. And did not have a DD214.

2Pack

That’s a requirement when transitioning. What post separated you?

2Pack

The real guys don’t normally talk a lot of shit about it. The more they harp on it – the more likely they are posing.

Horatio Cornblower

I wish I had depression so that I could take Capsylita, (or whatever), so that I could hook-up with the manic pixie dream girl who runs the somehow profitable music store that only sells vinyl.

Weight gain, suicidal thoughts, and sexual dysfunction seem like a small price to pay.

2Pack

That deserves one of these…

I don’t agree with RFK, Jr about much, but pharmaceutical ads are out of control.

blaxabbath

I do not understand why an enormous fee or tax cannot be added to transactions for ads such as these in a way that serves as a deterrent to the overconsumption of this class of ad by the public.

As we have some minimum for free late-night ads about Kars4Kids; I believe a cap is entirely feasible.

ArmedandHammered

Pharma companies would just raise the price of the drugs, you WILL NOT interfere with their profit margins.

Gumbygirl

I think there should be a death penalty for Kars4Kids ads.

blaxabbath

Can you just take it anyways? I mean, it isn’t like Lily (sponsors of the NFL Halftime Show) is going to turn down a pill sale.

That’s a great point.

So the side effects are the same as getting old? Alright then, double down on the agony of aging!

“Oh great, now I will have to pony up $175 dollars for a trailer park prostitute next year!” Jed York was heard complaining.

I’m so super impressed that, when he did decide to come down and wallow in the depths of upper-middle class life, he went rock bottom. I imagine Jed pulling into this sketchy mobile home park with his big dumb smile shining through his M-Class windshield thinking like, “yeah, that makes sense that the same area with all the crack production also has synergy with prostitute distribution. It’s like an underground tech park for all things ESCAPE THIS PAIN.”
