Quick update on my application to the position... (sorry for the mystery), the interviews and shit; I had a second interview, it went very well, and I am coordinating a third instance, which will consist of a psychotechnical test. Anxiety level: very high. Day-to-day energy management: staaaahp!. Expectations: growing.

Since about May, I've started trying to run around a lake in my neighborhood - 3.3 miles door to door. I went through a running phase about 9-10 years ago before my wife and I had any kids. But when I stopped running regularly, I lost any kind of stamina for it and getting back into it was pretty brutal. But today I ran and felt damn good, caught two new pokemon for my boys, and saw an HHS OIG (office of inspector general) raid on a house for medicare fraud. Helicopters, news vans, the whole nine. I really want to keep the running up as it helps me so much mentally but I tend to have a harder time running in the cold weather and winter is coming and should be a bitch of a winter if it follows suit with everything else this year.

...I'm in the same boat; wife and kids really dampen free time, stamina and energy, eh?!
: )ideaist - I run too, keeps you youngi_was
- stamina, awww, what a good times ;)OBBTKN
- Well done! For the cold, just wrap up, get a decent base layer and cold won't effect you. 2 mins of running and your bodypedromendez

I can't read Hebrew.
I gotta stop taking complicated jobs on involving lots of individual bits of Hebrew text. If one fucks up I've got no easy way of reading through the list to check which needs re-doing.
I don't like these kind of puzzles.

- Shouldn't you Yanks shuffle the units around? 724365? 736524?i_monk
- well yes it's kind of redundant but 24x7 is a common expression and gives the 3 values context. so my solution retains context and avoids redundancySteveJobs
- No.monospaced
- 365 means no holidays. Combines with 24-7 you’re saying “we never stop”monospaced
- wat mono saidinteliboy
- I agree with mono, mindsets. 24/7 always on, 365 no holidays. syntax & cadence play a big part, too. 24/7 365 fits a basic 4/4 beat better than the rest. #kmfdmimbecile

Think I will indulge in a Tony Scott film-fest this weekend. It's been a while since I watched any of his work - The Hunger continues to be an utterly gorgeous piece of cinema and Beverly Hills Cop II has some great looking photography.
Need to check what is available from my friendly, local, neighbourhood torrent site.
- Yes, even Top Gun and Days of Thunder.face_melter
- True Romance is the best movie ever made.monospaced

About 2-3 years ago there went rumours about a new digital currency through the web: Your wallet for future money grew by inviting friends. We discussed it here on qbn an some of us went in - including me. I think it was from Israel.
But I don't remember its name and have never heard of it again... Someone remembers what it was and what happened to it?- We've been hanging at the yacht club wondering where you went.i_monk
- Haha, sorry, didn't get the fax. Anyone remembers?Longcopylover
- Initiative Q?ESKEMA
- Oh yeah, Initiative Q ... totally forgot about that.Continuity
- I'll look later, but I doubt we're at the point with it where we can convert it to real currency and withdraw it.Continuity
- Highly doubt it will go anywhere. Probably just harvested a bunch of contacts..ESKEMA
- Sounds like a pyramid scheme.i_monk

With everything going on in the world and juggling work and young family. I have to say the biggest bane of my life is the CONSTANT harassment from Apple on all 4 of my Apple devices about Apple ID. It should be fucking illegal.

Bit of a rant / AITA
I'm quarantined in my room for a full week, because I met up with 3 mates.... so that I can attend my girlfriend's mom's birthday party
I was staying 2 weeks in the Algarve with my gf, my sister + hubby and 3 others who flew from the UK.
Some friends of mine were staying in an amazing beach house in the same village, so when the others left I went to stay 2 days with them, then came home.
I offered to stay there for a full week so that she didn't have to have any contact with me, but that's not an option - I have to be at this party. Also, apparently because one of the people in my house is asthmatic... I have to quarantine for 1 week to see if I have any symptoms before I can have contact with anyone.
I get that she doesn't want to put her parents/aunts/grandma in danger. But if it's that important, don't make me come to the party, right???
Or am I the asshole?
- I have no idea what you are talking about. It's like an IQ test. Half way through I was expecting you to say a train was travelling west at 300mph.Hayzilla
- You aren't an arsehole. There. Sorted.Hayzilla
- or you're an asshole who is right.pango
- there is no win.
its the kobayashi maru testpango - Quarantine is 2 weeks, so fix that first.i_monk
- Second, no parties! There's a fucking pandemic on.i_monk
- Quite the story to follow. Read it three times and am lost.inteliboy
- imbecile4
continued...
Don't fuck around with sticky traps or bait stations. it's just not worth it. Spring traps for the win. Little fuck got into all the baking supplies ~$30, avoided every sticky trap and bait station I put out. That was a waste of another ~$20. Then I put out one $1 spring trap with peanut butter last night and the problem is already solved.
old ways are the best ways.

I've been considering getting a small tattoo of my two kids' initials on my wrist - something small to remind me of them no matter where I am, but easily covered by my watch band if needed.
Their initials are H and E and our last name initial is G. Not looking for any suggestions really - I'd want to design it myself - but I thought of the idea of having them each draw their initial, get it traced and have that be what I get. There's something cool to me about it being both a reminder of them, and a reminder of them when they were little as they get older.
I don't have any tattoos at all. This would probably be something the size of a nickel or a quarter. I like the look of single stroke line art, maybe not as heavy as this, but something like that.
No script font or anything, just a solid line, maybe a continuous line that weaves their initials together.
Any of you with tattoos have anything like this? Seen any good examples?
- I've always liked the idea of a tiny, indiscernible, dot or something to achieve this. The only tattoo i'd consider - a 0.25mm diameter dot, to remind.Nairn
- Anything else, for me, would be too aesthetically inclined. I'm not a Norseman of yore.Nairn
- ha. one dot. you could probably do that yourself with a needle and some pen ink!mg33
- If I could work their initials into some kind of glyph, that would be great. I've always liked how glyphs look as tattoos as long as they're meaningful.mg33

- I like the idea of some abstract / geometric heart, but with the lines somehow forming their initials. Like this style more or less:mg33

- HG/EG but like AC/DCnb
- not bad. especially if I copied the acdc logo. LOL https://tonimarino.c…mg33

If anyone argues music is shit nowadays. Just point them to the 'What are you listening to...' thread.
- Best playlist in the historygrafician
- People who say stuff like that have just given up.Nairn
- To prove that it’s shit?BusterBoy
- I love that thread. Reckon it’s the main reason I still come back to qbn.thumb_screws
- hah buster no the opposite. I get overwhelmed by the amount of hours and hours of good music I'm missing out on.inteliboy
- There's still mad amounts of old music that hasn't been discovered from all over the world, plus all the new music.
As Nairn says complainers have given upPhanLo - Not a good referencei_was
- It's very frustrating to see people completely lose touch with music and then blame the entire music industry for it. I was hoping people my age wouldn't be...CyBrainX

Why do we keep starting new WTF threads instead of having one big WTF?
- I actually think the same. That would be a nice Font collection thread.oey_oey
- https://www.qbn.com/…sted
- I thought we did have a combined one? Not convinced that all those requested are nice though...MrT
- Why the downvotes?! Why not?grafician
- Maybe because so many on QBN ARE NOT EVEN DESIGNERS!grafician
- anyway, I really don't need a WTF, I can find any font I want in under an hour, I was just doing this to help the others in trouble smh...grafician
