My company supplies free lunch. A different caterer for each week day. I really like the caterer we have on Mondays, but was told they might be dropped due to them being able to supply only one protein for the budget we've given them. Since it hasn't happened yet it's not really a problem, but it is a concern that it might become a problem one day.

THIS is our 10,000th post. Golf clap, everyone.

My point is that you should not need to do stuff like that. If they want to call it portable, the format should be fully open source.
They call it "portable" because different "ports" render the same (MacOS, Windows, OSX, Linux, etc). It was a serious problem back when it was developed. You'd meticulously Create a document to look a certain way and put all kinds of effort into the formations and yet it'd open up with completely ruined formatting on another compatible platform. PDF was supposed to guarantee against it and they charged a premium to be able to create documents like that.

I was gone for 12 hours and come back to find out ISIS has taken over ATOT. This place has been in such a downward spiral. When will we see something good happen?

We have that RX 480 8GB and the 470 8GB Nitros in stock...

The links appeared in my in-box and I clicked on the link...both sold out. Those emails were less than a minute old.

Some sat next to me on the train in so I wasn't comfortable playing my ps vita. I'm getting further and further from beating persona 4 within the year at this rate

I also feel guilty about playing games on my phone on public transportation. Feel like people are watching and judging me.

Interdasting... I may have gotten my first Amazon-delivered package. Courier on the tracking page was AMZCA.

Edit: FML. Tearing the label off the package, it turned my middle finger black. Washing it good twice didn't get it all off. No, fuck you, label ink, fuq you...

Double-edit: Checked a local forum and people bitching about packages taking long periods to clear customs. It took two months for one guy. You'd think border services would hire some more people...

Pre-processed vegan food is tricky. Most of it is shit. There are a few consistently good brands though. Gardein, Morning Star and Amy's Kitchen are the ones that come to mind first.

I don't bake although I do have a bread maker and have made some from time to time. I thought that it's pretty easy to find "vegan" baked goods w/o going to a special bakery. Even if they're true vegans and don't use any animal products at all including eggs and dairy, it shouldn't be too hard to find things that qualify as vegan.

The rain finally stopped (for now) and the sun did come out but it was freaking hot and humid (again). Can't wait for fall and winter.

I knew it would happen so I haven't bothered looking for it... but I just found one of my shitty YouTube videos ripped off and posted on Daily Motion.

Do you ever download pirated music or movies?
