Am I supposed to be hearing that in blistering fast Italian(?)?

I see that "autodubbing" is on, whatever that is. I don't spend much time on youtube.

Google is weird. Sometimes I get Google Maps Street View in Russian text and then on the next image, it's back to English.

I mean, I'm not going to watch any of that shit, mainly because I don't want to spend the time, but I am curious how some random guy, who other people watch on youtube, managed to burn half his scalp off with molten lye.

A client assigned a new project manager for a hazmat cleanup project we are working on. The person is sharp, easy to work with, and knows nothing about chemistry. This is going to be fun.

As long as he knows how to make a decision, you should be good. The rest of your descriptors sound good. If he really is sharp, he'll learn enough chemistry from the smart people on-site. You have some, right?

Well, there's a chemistry guy ↑a couple posts up↑ Maybe you can work something out.

I was looking forward to a couple fake chicken sandwiches for dinner, but it appears I'm all out of fake chickens. I winged it, and grabbed a chicken potpie out of the freezer, but that won't be enough. Gotta figure out what else I'm gonna eat that isn't cookies, or other jul treats.

WTF's up with youtube dubbing videos into Italian for me?! It shouldn't be automatically doing anything. If someone wants a dub, they should have to explicitly press a button, but Italian???

I put a huge log in my wood stove and for some reason I guess it was not seasoned. I could see water spewing out of it. That's probably not good for the chimney lol. I kept the damper wide open to make sure it burns really hot, should be fine hopefully.

Every now and then Youtube will glitch in the most hilarious way and assume you're either into a certain thing or from a certain country. One time I was watching EEVblog videos and all of the "related" videos were children videos, like toy reviews and stuff, but it was like the weirdest thing because it was ALL of them. It lasted for like half an hour then went back to normal.

Snow. I'd almost forgotten that it existed. A couple days ago we got the first Dec. snow in 5 years. That's like . . . furevar!

And of course, some serious, tit-freezing weather came with it. And what would weather porn be with out those f'ing "real feel" temps. I think they get those from the ass end of a magic 8 ball.

Bottom line? Meesis no happy. You and your fakata rebellion can curl up in Satan's bung hole and ROT!!!

Not quite sure this is a problem. I was cutting fresh vegetables(mainly celery) to make a fresh vegetable bowl for lunch, and I didn't notice there were coffee grounds on the cuttingboard. I didn't rinse them off. I just put coffee celery in my bowl, and it tasted... Good? Not sure I'd do it intentionally, but it was an interesting addition.

I turned off the circuit breaker to my over-the-range microwave to do some work and when I turned the circuit back on the halogen bulb on the bottom of the microwave was burnt out and I had to replace it.

Been meaning to put a handrail on the wall where my stairs are and I priced them out. WTF, why are those things like over $100? They also have ones made of fancy wood like oak that are over $200 and even the pine ones were expensive. I just wanted the generic white ones since I was going to paint it anyway, think the one I was looking at was made of MDF or something, it seemed heavy to be wood. They also didn't have any standard brackets to mount it, so I would need to come up with something myself. I only looked at Home Depot since I was already there, I may check Home Hardware or Canadian Tire at some point this week. Otherwise I'll just fabricate something myself. Was just hoping for something quick and easy that I could do this week and have it done by Christmas.
