I reached out to Georges on LinkedIn a couple of days ago (we've been connected for years), telling him to come back to QBN ...
... he didn't reply. :(
- Oh course he won’t come back. His views would get him pitch-forked out pretty quickGnash
- ^ but you haven't got pitchforked...
he'll be fine.pango - perhaps he doesn't suffer morons as easily as someGnash
- hope hes goodmoldero
- He's here, always, watching over us. Praise thy GeorgesIanbolton
- He was the first to predict a Trump win. He was way early on it iircnb
- He's probably still a little curious.stoplying
- Georges pitchforked? FOH, he was great.garbage
- Loved his work and often his rants but he was patronising and messianic at times. Like Set, another very interesting member. Perhaps people don't like being talfadein11
- talked down to.fadein11
- He was cool, hope he’s well.ben_
- Plot twist, he’s robo_niko
- He wanted to see the US fail. Cool guy apart from thatscarabin
- nahhh robo is still Phrenologicalpango
- I just remember he mocked everyone here they suffered from "cognitive dissonance"inteliboy
- Maybe I missed his spiral?ben_
- He didn’t have a spiral, he was pretty consistent throughout. No rage quit, or anything. He just backed away slowlyGnash
- I think he posted some really cool shit he was working on but received negative backlash for some reason, so he got fed up_niko
- He had some "different" opinions to put it mildly but never bothered me, he wasn't a troll like some people here and did good design work.yuekit
- I got the impression he spent a lot of time on sites like 4chan and that was why he was so early on the Trump thing :)yuekit
- #BLMi_was
- @yuekit, true, he was also talking about
QAnon before it even had a name.fadein11 - well QAnon type stuff I mean, obviously.fadein11
- That guy is a visionaryi_was
- yeah, wish we could have georges and set back. miss hearing both their viewpoints on thingskingsteven
- Lol. The reflection bit is great. They left because tired of assholes. The same that haven't changeddeathboy
- Such short memories of views and thinking these would be differentdeathboy
- Maybe positive thinking they'd come back and agree with u. Such weird thinkingdeathboy

Just back from the Post Office, wherein there was this stick-thin little Hasidic kid - couldnt've been more than 16 or so - wearing a fucking TRUMP 2020 facemask.
Like.. what?
- Jared Kushner?fadein11
- ^ hahaGnash
- it makes sense, actually. just the embassy move was enough for manyGnash
- Aaaah, yes - I hadn't thought of that. Yeah, presumably he wasn't Haredi, of which there's a community not far from here too!Nairn
- Also 16 year olds are known for trolling.nb
- hehe... I was going to say pretty much the same thing as nb... the kid's gotta be fucking w/peoplePonyBoy

I've had "Don't Know Much" as an ohrwurm for the past hour or so and it's gradually transmogrified into a version as-sung by North Easterners, so now I've got it sung by Sarah Millican and Gazza, and to be honest, I'm finding it fucking hilarious.

My much beloved Thomas Burberry belt* that I've worn pretty much continuously for about twenty years now just broke.
Sad times.
Annoyingly, I'm at work, and I have to walk home, which takes about 40 minutes.
I'm wearing a pair of shorts that are ostensibly my size, but are actually a bit wider, so a belt is very-much needed if I'm not to have my pants fall down.
This is not good timing.
.
* It was bought in TK Maxx. Like I'd pay silly money for a belt. Mind you, twenty+ years...
- Three blogs on the trot, Nairn.
Perhaps you should go home?Nairn - the particularly-annoyin... thing is that I took my last roll of gaffer tape home, which would totally fix this for now. bunch of fuckerNairn
- improvise and overcome. i'm sure you can come up with a solution with office materials and tools.renderedred
- I have shitloads of stuff at my disposal at work here, but the break in the belt is a fundamentally impossible one to fix.
Otherwise, string :\ lolNairn - ANYTHING can be fixed with gaffer tape!renderedred

The neighbourhood teenagers have gone feral, there were about 10+ of them outside my house earlier loitering about bored as fuck as they do. I'd heard them out there making the teenager noises, and recognised a couple of them from the street, even had a chuckle after hearing one of them telling an anecdote about how he ate all the bolognese off his spaghetti before he'd mixed it up and never realised how horrible it was without sauce (i mean, jesus fuck - do the wee goober faced bastards ever shut the fuck up??)...
But then this incredibly loud banging noise starts, after about ten bangs I look out to two of them kicking the shit out of the street sign while the rest look on... it was still daylight and honestly i cant think of a more visible place in the whole neighbourhood, its a corner of a junction so theres about 8 houses facing on to them... So i imagine all the neighbours (mostly wee old dears) are looking out at this point too - anyway, I bust the window open and gave it the "OIII!!!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!!!" i scared myself a bit, i haven't shouted in a while and I think I over-egged it a bit (sounded like if Liam Neeson had joined Cannibal Corpse)... Of course they all scarpered off in different directions, if one of them had taken the time to look up they would have seen a big hippy looking fucker, in his painting gear, scared of his own voice.
Anyway, I went out and inspected the sign... bit of a bend in the middle but not too bad. Was thinking I could fix it but as I was walking the dog I had flashbacks to stupid shit I did when I was that age... The kind of shit your brain likes to remind you of randomly before falling asleep or in the queue of Tesco... Some of those kids live on my street, and that warped sign is going to be there in 20 years. With any luck one of them has a conscience and one day will look at it, get a shiver down their spine and be forced to remember the day they ate dry spaghetti and got yelled at by Bob from Twin Peaks.

@everyone, interview went very well. I almost threw up like 5 mins before. Had to put half xanax under my tongue right before. Started off sloppy, and got pretty good while the pill started kicking in. Although I fucked up just when it came to numbers, I think it was a solid win. I just got an invite for a 2nd interview with the Production Manager. Monday, 6pm. This is gonna be a hell of a weekend. Already drunk. Thank you guys, for real. Might sound weird / stupid, but I really appreciate your comments. Boom!
- Fun fact: the “fucked up when it came to numbers” was a solid: I asked for less than I should’ve. Tips on this? Thanksmaquito
- Woohoo!scarabin
- Sweet!Gnash
- "I asked for less than I should’ve", that's not good man, people can think you are worthless for the jobi_was
- Thanks i_was! Much appreciated.maquito
- I hope they’ll realize I was nervous... Pretty sure it’s not gonna make my postulation seem worthless, man.maquito
- Man the money thing is a bitch. Tell the you want a % increase at end of probation. Make the % increase what you should have asked for.eryx
- Don't say $$ say %. If they really want you they will agree.eryx
- +1pango
- Always ask so much that you feel embarrasseddpi
- I had no doubts you're smashing that maquito!grafician
- Thanks, man!!maquito
- I asked for an amount I thought was reasonable, company came back with an offer $30k higher than I asked. Don’t sweat it too much if you’re right for the jobnb
- Good to hear, best of luck with the 2nd interview!Nutter

Bulletproof coffee is still amazing. Mmh. Smell and taste so good. And that slowed release caffeine really works, IMO
- Curbs my appetite for sweets too. Believing the hype since 2013 :)jagara

- If I read this correctly, we're talking about something even more nutritionally-defici... and an absolute calorie bomb.Continuity
- So, yeah, I'm with topes.
https://i.imgur.com/…Continuity - Drinking butter? Ohhhhh kaaaaaay then ... (barf)monospaced
- Small amounts of unsalted butter and MCT (or coconut) oil. Sounds horrible. Tastes fantastic. Do you put milk or cream in your coffee? Also milk fat...jagara
- At least try it sometime. I was highly skeptical myself.jagara
- Yuck cityfuturefood
- Not much more of a calorie bomb than whole milk or cream in your coffee (1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon MCT oil. And no sugar.jagara
- I'll stop talking now. Have a look, if you like: https://www.youtube.…jagara
- I like my coffee thugged outhelloeatbreathedrive
- Speaking of which, watch some Bert Kreischer if you are in a foul mood, his ordering coffee bit. Made me feel better, besides my regular espresso shots.helloeatbreathedrive
- Good coffee smells so goodi_was
- Adding milky shit to coffee is a waste of coffee and akin to a war crime.face_melter
- Donuts make me feel goodnb
- lol facefadein11
- Lard in Coffee for the ultimate win.shapesalad
- don´t show this to italians.. have some decency.neverscared
- I tried it a few times. saw no results. went back to black coffee.fooler
- I like my coffee like I like my women, hot, black and bitter._niko
- Yall are missing out. Slow release caffein all day with no crash, its a creatives fuckin dream, try it fuckers, youll thank memoldero
- slow release? sounds insane..neverscared
- ;)neverscared
- For the record:
15 ml (1tbsp) butter: 102 kcal, 12 g fat.
15 ml MCT oil: 130 kcal, 14 g fat.Continuity - 15 ml whole milk (3.5%): 10 kcal, 0.5 g fat.
'Not much more of a calorie bomb', my ass.Continuity - Even a tablespoon of cream is a mere fraction the fat of butter. If you use half and half you’re at 10x less fat than a tbsp of butter. Not even close.monospaced
- Reminds me of people speaking about the health benefits of coconut oil. That shit isn’t remotely healthy.monospaced
- A few designers at work swear by this shit. Glad they weren’t approved for raisesben_

re: Broken Belt
Ended up cutting a length of black felt and looping it around my waist and tying in a large pretty bow at the front. Pretty sure it garnered some wry side-glances on the walk home last night.
If this becomes a male fashion accessory in SS21, you'll know who to blame.
- Can we preemptively ban you from QBN for this fashion annoyance?Continuity

Yesterday been taking beers from 18:30 to 2:30, no diner, just some fried chips to eat...
Now I'm going out with wife and friends again.
Hope today, idiot of me, am capable to come back to home in a pair of hours, and not drunk in six hours, again.
- fried chips = french fries?zarkonite
- Nailer shut bud! Sounds like my covid life.eryx
- No zakonite, chips in bag. And, again, back to home at 2am... But has been a blast, what a night LOLOBBTKN

Weekend Rundown:
Removed 14 stitches from my hand; debrided the wound myself. The most painful shit I've ever done in my life, but going back to the hospital to have the stitches removed would have put me in a low-priority, possibly 7-hour wait in a COVID-19 waiting room. So fuck that.
The smoke hit us around Thursday, and is just now settling in. That's Molly (the bad one) sitting at the court on my block. Normally there's a view of the skyline, that spacey needle thing, and Queen Anne.
I forgot to get kimchi at the store, but the Hawks won, so I guess I broke even? Happy Monday to all.

- Eeekkk... But it's npt looking bad, fast recovery yo! And good luck with all this wildfire crazinessOBBTKN

- Who's choice is the rug around the bottom of the toilet? I hope you're accurate..!Nairn
- lol I knew I would get grief about that. I'm a straight shooter, but not really a fan of the rugs. The floors are granite tile, so it is pretty slick.garbage
- Back in ancient times when people could.. you know, have parties and whatnot, those floors have taken out a handful of drunken guys and gals.garbage
- I was surprised to see them there tbh - I always figured they were a distinctly 70s-80s British thing :) But yes, I figured it was your gal's choice hahaNairn
- I did this too, remove stitches from my elbow (bmx accident) very very looong time ago. ;)i_was
- Ha, I've done the same. Rode BMX for about 15 years, and it's probably what jump-started my DIY medic status.garbage
- When I got this cut, my first thought was "Fuck, this is beyond a glue job."garbage
