“Obama was fine” ???

Did you not see his tan suit? The humanity…

Be sure to include that reference to BenFranklinsDick

I can’t claim that I understand what you’re going through, but I do claim that I understand your reasoning. My dad went through the same around a decade ago.

Seeing him try chemo made me conclude that living means more than surviving. Make sure your family understands this part.

Come to think of it, it’s almost 10 years to the day since he died. I never questioned his choice, and I’m happy that he got to the end on his own terms rather than being pestered by family pressuring him to endure a kind of pain that we could never understand.

EDIT: Just for the record, I’m all in favor of at least trying treatment - It works well for many. If it is truly insufferable, treatment can be aborted.

Same. When I was on 5 week offshore rotation I usually did the night shift. It’s quieter, fewer people around, and my arctic ass doesn’t like the equatorial sun. Beyond my lifelong affliction of inability to fall asleep in a timely manner (fixed by audio books), I slept better then than I’ve ever done since.

Singapore. Spent a lot of time there on a few occasions, and I really like the place. Best barbecue I ever had was at Decker BBQ. And best sushi I ever had was in the same area.

Alternatively, downtown Kuala Lumpur. Awesome street food.

I spent a lot of time in Dammam a couple of months ago, and while I liked it, it was really annoying how little pedestrians were taken into account when building the city (I had to routinely commit strategic jaywalking when I was going out to eat). Is all of KSA like that, or is it a Dammam-thing? (Everything seemed relatively recently built, so maybe it’s a result of rapid growth?)

It is. Typo.

Personally, I do it because trumps last name is more rare/recognizable than his first. With her it’s the other way around. It’s less ambiguous that way.

As a tangent, I do think a presidential race between Donald Duck and Ed Harris would be less mentally taxing.

And I think Ralph Wiggum should be included just for that extended meta

Need to add Ralph Wiggum somehow

Apart from the jetlag it’s not too bad, actually. I’ve had worse jobs that didn’t take me to the far corners of the world.

In 2009 there were like three people in line in front of me. Must’ve taken at least 30 seconds before an available election official could check my ID. It was extremely early in the early voting period, and there was only one place open that early. I was going to be abroad for the next month, so I had to vote that day.

When not voting early, I can’t recall there ever being a line.

“2009 election, you say??”

Norway.

I’m not that picky in terms of resolution, but I am when it comes to FPS.

But in all honesty, 2k@60 would be fine too.

“IT Support”.
Shore support specialist for this production system (server cluster) used offshore. I spend most of my time “available, on standby”.

They see me postin’
They hatin’
Patrolling and trying to catch me postin dirty

I’m WFH with a pretty chill work day except I’m on standby 24/7 in case of something stupid happens at work. So not much would change for me, honestly.

Each to their own I’d say, but I’m all for rule bending.

I’ve always been up front about modding based on what I consider reasonable interpretation of the spirit of the rules combined with common sense. This means that some things that technically should or shouldn’t get deleted gets a treatment it wouldn’t get by strict interpretation of the rules in their literal meaning.

That being said, my interpretation of the rules may not necessarily conform with those of other mods, so I rarely complain if someone else decides to overrule me.
