I was going to post something in the Politics thread but then noticed that for the first time in a very long time it wasn't on the first page. I'm honouring the silence.

Went to a doctor today and surprisingly they were able to see me. Got an EKG and it was okay, blood pressure okay, everything okay. They were able to get me in to see a cardiologist at 4pm today so I'm just waiting for that. Also had a blood test to check thyroid, anemia, etc.
Thanks to all who replied before - scary how many of you have or have had heart issues.- Glad you went :) Let know how 4pm goes.PonyBoy

Good friend just resigned at his company here and took a huge promotion at Bigelow Aerospace in Las Vegas. Take a look at their benefits:
I imagine they have to have this kind of package to entice candidates to move to Las Vegas. I swear to God you could pay me half mill with a 30 hr work week and I would still not live in Vegas. No offense I know some QBNrs are out there. lol
Also take a look at their website, fucking leading the way in civilian space travel and this is what their site looks like. hahaa typical.

- I hate when they include the time closed ax xmas in your allotted 'days'Gnash
- Yeah that freeby week is part if the 4 weeks? Still nice.HijoDMaite
- To be honest those benefits aren't great. I'd say most are average or below average except for that 38 hour line which we know is bs.monospaced

Thats a big news
"Google launches new encoder that reduces JPEG file size by 35%"
'Google launched a new JPEG encoder named “Guetzli” that reduces JPG files by 35% or offer better image quality at the same file size.'
- I usually get 60% down with kraken though.DRIFTMONKEY
- so not important nowadays - its like inventing something needed 20 years ago.fadein11
- if i can wait 5 mins for 110 mb gifs to load, i can manage without encoder

So my dad wants me to order 10 KG of Cremnitz White (led white) pigment. I am having a difficult time finding it here in the states. I think it's made in Germany.
This company in NYC has it and sells it by the kilo but they don't have 10 GK in stock. Other companies are telling me they may not be able to sell it in large quantities like over a kilo due to strict regulations, especially here in California.
Does anyone have experience with buying this stuff? I'm going to research getting directly from Germany or even Spain I heard.
Company is sending me their last Kilo for $78 and $15 shipping.
- why led?moldero
- its the white oil paint the real pros use I guess.HijoDMaite
- you can only buy it in the EU. not available in us/canada due to toxicityGnash
- look at Flake White Hue or TitaniumGnash
- maybe you can still get lead paints south of the border, not sure about that thoughGnash
- < I'm surprised they'rel able to sell itGnash
- HijoDMaite regulations are per state in the us. there is a chance that it will be confiscatedsted

what time do the chickens sleep, this is my second night of no pollos, someone should tell them it's getting late and they should probably go to sleep soon.

11:10pm on a Friday night and I'm sitting here waiting for emergency plumbing service... :-/
- PonyBoy3
WTF?!!
I'm holding my dog in the other room so the plumber can work. Loads of noise vibrating through the building... like a construction site.
20 mins later he comes by w/all his gear and says 'you're all set'... I thank him and lock the door behind and head into the bathroom to handle some business...
... fucker hacked a hole in my wall AND DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME!!!!
The place is about to undergo renovation in a month in a half... I get it... but at least fucking tell me I now have an escape hatch behind my toilet... :/
- he said you're ALL SETmonospaced
- plumbers never fix that shit. and at their rates you don't want them to!Gnash
- is that a steel pipe?Gnash
- holy crap! hahascarabin
- Ah yes plumbers. Just got a quote for all the plumbing in my new place 24k.tank02
- I Shawshanked the hole w/ newspaper... It's not 'lovely Raquel' but it has relieved my wife of her 'kitty trapped in the wall' fears.PonyBoy
- I'd be worried about rodents sneaking in. Make sure it's sealed.sea_sea
- it is going to be a bitch to drywall that back up. no straight lines and you'll have either cut it wider to the studs or put wood pieces behind each to connectkona
- No way kona, that's a piece of fucking cake. Rough in a piece of dry wall and use some drywall tape + mud. Sand it down after it's dry.fate

Was playing video games with the girlfriend last night and had the puppy (7 month black lab) outside on a leash..I kept saying, let's leave her out there until she comes back to the door..Let her play..
So we keep playing games and then my girl went out to check on her. My puppy was outside choking on something..So we got her inside, you could see the desperation in my dogs face, like she knew she was in trouble.
I stick my hand in her mouth and feel nothing. My dog started scratching her paw towards her face..She was trying to tell me..It was really crazy because I felt hopeless and thought she could cough it up. I even held her upside down to try and hit her back to cough it up..
Now we're on the way to the vet freaking out..she's still squirming but breathing...And finally I look down and she coughed up a stick about 3 inches long...She stopped freaking out but was immediately exhausted from it. No vet but scared the shit out of us.
Man, what a fucking scare.
- Damn, that was a tense read. Glad it sorted out.DRIFTMONKEY
- thanks man. it was fucked.cbass99
- glad it all worked out but for a second there I thought you were freaking out driving to the vet while frantically posting on QBN lol_niko
- terrifying! glad the pup is okay.capn_ron

- Fuck. I can't find girls who plays video games!pango
- Oh man, glad the pup is ok. Labs can be crazy mischievous, best to keep an eye on them early on.garbage

2 full pages of no OMG posts in the politics thread, did we drain the swamp, or did he just get a girlfriend?
- he's still computing the fact he said in public that refugees are rapists, vile toxic fool.fadein11
- but side commentsmonospaced
- fadein11 just said in public, rape and pedophilia is equal opportunity for all immigrants. There is no hugs or candy beneath the trap door of his basement.omg
- oh fuck off you vile little narrow minded prickfadein11
- No matter how you dress it, you're still a pig. The only difference is that your lipstick is a different angry shade of pink.omg
- but omg you're just plain lying now. He didn't say that and you're spreading lies. Fucking asshole and a troll that's what you are.monospaced
- beneath your denial and his undenial is the reality. no amount of sewage from your mouth can change that. just makes you look more foolish.omg
- Haha. But you're still wrong. He didn't say any of that, hence you're being a liar and an asshole. Calling it how I see it. Reality makes you look the fool omg.monospaced
- If you haven't noticed this is a celebration of you not contributing, and you're here being a cunt. You figure it out you prick.monospaced
- Haha, is that how you see it? LOL. can you also see which finger i'm holding up right now? hint it's the one in the middle.omg
- Literally no other way to see it buddy. Sorry. I take your virtual bird flip as a sign of your defeat. You really are pathetic.monospaced
- You confirming comments based on fadein11 lie's was a win for me 6 blocks ago. You desperate for a win makes me feel sorry for you.omg

i just found out today a old old friend of mine is in jail for murder. we used to be thick as thieves for a few years, she was easiest one of my closest female friends for a while.. then shit changed and her path took a hard turn .. we lost contact, except for a few random times in the last years ..
i had half assumed she had either OD'd, was homeless or had got her shit together..
but nope.. murder.
really fucking with me a bit.. its the second person i knew who is now locked up for murder ..
its not normal

What's a legit & clean way to break a lease with a management company before it's over?
1 other person is on it.
Any advice?- You have to ask. I was able to break my lease by finding someone to take it over as-is condition, while remaining responsible in case he fucked up or didn't paymonospaced
- So you did a kind of sublet. I could try that- tho risky. It would only be for 3 mosbklyndroobeki
- what mono said, aim to find a better deal.sted
- I wasn't allowed to sublet so it was handled as a contract with the management company. They don't have to clean, list or show the unit so I get to break lease.monospaced
- If you requested something to be fixed and it's not fixed, especially if it dangerous or changes your heating/cooling costs.Hayoth
- Another option is to transfer the lease to another complex in or out of state owned by the same company.Hayoth
- monospaced did you live w/ someone else who was on the lease? say, a housemate?bklyndroobeki
- I want out so badly.bklyndroobeki
