My wife was playing a 60s playlist last night.  I asked her "Hey, man, is that Freedom Rock?"  She didn't get it.   :(

I played the ad for CB last night.  She asked me if it was a real ad or a parody.

Oh it was real.

I feel Languishers are maturing into the required age bracket and may look for side hustle opportunities. :)

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Rainier is one of the beers that I actually like drinking.

But I tend to hate the taste of beer in general, so take that for it is worth....  :P

Richard Hakluyt

Yeah, I haven't tried Rainier, it may be ok. I thought that the Pabst blue ribbon that CCR favoured was actually ok, not great beer but cheap, cold and wet....not at all bad for a summer's day in Illinois. The really terrible ones are the "lite" beers  :(

I think masturbating during a meeting certainly warrants some kind of disciplinary action... Let's not cancel cancel culture either  :lol:
And this may just be me but if I'd accidentally bashed one out one on a Zoom meeting with work colleagues - I'd possibly not want to return to work :lol: :ph34r:

Also not to be too militantly pro-employer but I've thought that there's value in sort of keeping to the rhythm of working in an office, even when I'm working from home. So I keep my lunch at roughly the same time, I might be able to do some personal things at home but that was basially like coffee break in the office time. And "no wanking during work hours" is one of the rules I've kept from working in an office.

I was thinking something simillar.  You have to really love your job if  you're willing to walk naked through King's Landing to get it back.

Maybe more of a guideline than a rule then? :P
