Apr 9, 2020 at 11:51 AM - VintagePC: Also, it is now perfectly normal to walk into a bank wearing a mask.
Apr 9, 2020 at 12:36 PM - Statboy: really cause the bank told me to not come in with my mask
Apr 9, 2020 at 12:36 PM - Statboy:

Apr 9, 2020 at 9:15 PM - VaultBot: why pengu is successful
Apr 9, 2020 at 9:15 PM - VintagePC: I'm annoyed because I need quarters for laundry. And the bank branches are all closed
 
Apr 10, 2020 8:45 AM - VintagePC: lol, someone made a "heeere's johnny" clip from the shining and the lady lysol's him in the face
Apr 10, 2020 8:45 AM - VintagePC: appropriate for this current world situation
Apr 10, 2020 9:17 AM - Statboy: I've got at least $5 in quarters, I can mail you Corona infected quarters
Apr 10, 2020 2:03 PM - VaultBot: pretty sure gandolf said that not lincoln
Apr 10, 2020 2:03 PM - Statboy: so doordash is horrible isn't it? I was looking at them, they up the menu price of items, add a service fee, add a delivery fee, and take part of the tip from their drivers
Apr 10, 2020 2:04 PM - Statboy: if you didn't notice the service fee, they add it to taxes and you have to look at the information icon to find out what how much is tax vs fee
Apr 10, 2020 9:15 PM - VintagePC: well
Apr 10, 2020 9:15 PM - VintagePC: that's part of the business model
Apr 10, 2020 9:15 PM - VaultBot: no in other ways lonesome
Apr 10, 2020 9:15 PM - VintagePC: they figure if you're lazy enough to use them regularly
Apr 10, 2020 9:15 PM - VintagePC: you're too lazy to inspect the bill in detail :D
Apr 10, 2020 9:16 PM - VintagePC: but yeah
Apr 10, 2020 9:16 PM - VintagePC: you tend to pay a lot more for those services than just getting the food as takeout
Apr 10, 2020 10:45 PM - oceanboy86: bad time to bring up door dash since im signing up for them
Apr 10, 2020 10:46 PM - oceanboy86: my payment model specifically says that they do NOT take part of the tip
Apr 10, 2020 10:46 PM - oceanboy86: but yeah of course it costs more to order for someone to bring your fast food to you, did you think it was free?
 
Apr 11, 2020 7:19 AM - Statboy: I expect a delivery fee. not a delivery fee, a service fee, and upcharged prices
Apr 11, 2020 7:57 AM - VintagePC: welcome to the ticketmaster business model
Apr 11, 2020 7:57 AM - VintagePC: where a $45 ticket gets a $20 markup in the name of "convenience'
Apr 11, 2020 7:58 AM - VintagePC: property management co here is pushing people to pay rent online
Apr 11, 2020 7:58 AM - VintagePC: I looked
Apr 11, 2020 7:58 AM - VintagePC: so long as the fees for that cost me more than a stamp, they're going to keep getting a paper cheque from me each month
Apr 11, 2020 8:51 AM - Statboy: My last apt did the opposite. They had a $50 check cashing fee if you didnt pay online. No fee for paying online
Apr 11, 2020 8:55 AM - Statboy: Reechard, if someone stole a Tiger from Carol would they be Baskin Robbin'
Apr 11, 2020 1:50 PM - oceanboy86: well the delivery charge for pizza delivery is $4 and considering im not getting paid hourly while im doing door dash, it think thats more than fair
Apr 11, 2020 6:09 PM - VaultBot: the earth doesn't really spin much at the same time it started to take care of a few standards
Apr 11, 2020 6:09 PM - Statboy: My problem with them isnt how much the delivery drivers make, rather that they hide and play with how they charge. And most of that does not go to the drivers
Apr 11, 2020 6:10 PM - VaultBot: oohh... apparently one of those bs marketing tactics
Apr 11, 2020 6:10 PM - Statboy: They should be upfront, with how much it costs, and 90% should go to the driver
Apr 11, 2020 6:14 PM - Statboy: Glod lord VB that was spot on
Apr 11, 2020 6:29 PM - oceanboy86: agreed with VB. Yeah i don't know how it looks on the buyer's side.
 
Apr 11, 2020 11:56 PM - oceanboy86: btw its been 2-3 days, Stat I assume you are Corona free?
Apr 11, 2020 11:57 PM - oceanboy86: You are not Kung Flu Fighting?
Apr 11, 2020 11:58 PM - oceanboy86: Winnie the Flu didn't get you too?
Apr 12, 2020 6:42 AM - Statboy: Im just lightly symptomed, i did test positive and cant go to work
Apr 12, 2020 10:25 AM - Statboy: but my work is providing an extra 80 hrs PTO to cover it
Apr 12, 2020 6:26 PM - theLumberJack: You going to be up to playing tomorrow night?
 
Apr 13, 2020 at 7:08 AM - Hexalan: y'all remember the mighty quest for epic loot?
Apr 13, 2020 at 8:14 AM - Statboy: Yes to LJ and yes to Hex, i found that game a little boring though
Apr 13, 2020 at 11:03 AM - theLumberJack: okay, game might be a bit shorter than usual, i haven't been sleeping much
Apr 13, 2020 at 11:45 AM - VintagePC: I used to play but quit when it got super pay2win and grindy to get anywhere
Apr 13, 2020 at 11:46 AM - VintagePC: The idea was solid but when literally every castle you can raid is swinging way above your abilities due to that the fun is gone.
Apr 13, 2020 at 12:33 PM - VintagePC: Apparently high winds and rain forecast here. So if I dont make it it is because my power is out
Apr 13, 2020 at 6:29 PM - VintagePC: omw
 
Apr 15, 2020 7:18 AM - theLumberJack: stat that token is top notch
Apr 15, 2020 10:02 AM - Statboy: classy and gentlemanly are the first words I think of when I think Goblin
Apr 15, 2020 10:03 AM - theLumberJack: perfect
Apr 15, 2020 10:03 AM - theLumberJack: i really like that in the second edition stuff they included them as a core ancestry. they have some interesting heritages that make for fun goblin characters
Apr 15, 2020 10:04 AM - theLumberJack: like unbreakable
Apr 15, 2020 10:19 AM - Statboy: Goblins are just fun
Apr 15, 2020 12:32 PM - Statboy: My Goblin is wearing his nice clothes over his armor, oblivious to the fact that his clothes will get ruined in a fight
 
Apr 16, 2020 7:38 AM - Statboy: Its looking like i get to go back to work tomorrow. 11 days quarantined and im symptom free
Apr 16, 2020 4:35 PM - VintagePC: manual samuel free in the humble store
Apr 16, 2020 4:35 PM - VintagePC: good to hear stat
Apr 16, 2020 4:36 PM - VintagePC: some people get a reals shit hand dealt to them when they catch it
 
Apr 18, 2020 9:17 AM - VintagePC: lol, I like how some ebay listings now say "WH, China" for location instead of "Wuhan"
 
Apr 20, 2020 5:19 AM - theLumberJack: https://adventurebricks.com/
Apr 20, 2020 7:30 AM - theLumberJack: hey guys im going to cancel pathfinder tonight as reechard and michael have both said they can't make it tonight
Apr 20, 2020 11:36 AM - Statboy: ok
Apr 20, 2020 1:43 PM - VintagePC: mkay
Apr 20, 2020 1:44 PM - VintagePC: goddamnit I want to find a store so I can buy shuriken
Apr 20, 2020 5:32 PM - theLumberJack: in pathfinder or real life
Apr 20, 2020 5:37 PM - Statboy: yes
Apr 20, 2020 8:04 PM - Statboy: I know most of you are 9-5 workers, but i am starting up a campaign on mondays from noon-3pm central, if anybody is interested
Apr 20, 2020 8:48 PM - VintagePC: PF
Apr 20, 2020 8:48 PM - VintagePC: also.. I just had a grapefruit in which one of the seeds had actually started to spout
Apr 20, 2020 8:48 PM - VintagePC: not sure why anyone would care, just thought it was interesting
 
Apr 21, 2020 8:21 AM - Statboy: put it in the ground, grow a tree, rinse and repeat, then put big grapefruit out of business
Apr 21, 2020 8:25 AM - theLumberJack: i am planting potatoes today
Apr 21, 2020 8:25 AM - theLumberJack: take that McCains
Apr 21, 2020 8:25 AM - Statboy: I should start planting apples
Apr 21, 2020 8:26 AM - Statboy: do we have anyone far enough south to grow banana's?
Apr 21, 2020 8:26 AM - Statboy: BRING DOWN BIG FRUIT!!
Apr 21, 2020 6:28 PM - VintagePC: <obligatory joke about big melons>
Apr 21, 2020 6:28 PM - VintagePC: I'd actually have considered that had it not gotten chopped in half when I sliced the grapefruit
 
Apr 27, 2020 12:35 PM - Reechard: Are we rolling tonight?
Apr 27, 2020 4:16 PM - theLumberJack: We're down Splyons, so as long as no one else is out we're good
Apr 27, 2020 4:16 PM - theLumberJack: we have Xude tonight
Apr 27, 2020 4:29 PM - VintagePC: I'm good but didn't sleep well so I would not be offended if we stopped a little early
Apr 27, 2020 4:45 PM - Reechard: I had a rough weekend and a really awful day
Apr 27, 2020 4:46 PM - Reechard: So I can be there but if we're all gonna be this checked out do we want to wait one more week?
Apr 27, 2020 4:57 PM - Reechard: I don't want to be the reason we tpk
Apr 27, 2020 4:59 PM - theLumberJack: Sounds like you guys would both benefit if we didn't play this week
Apr 27, 2020 5:00 PM - theLumberJack: why don't we go ahead and delay then
Apr 27, 2020 5:04 PM - Reechard: Thanks guys
Apr 27, 2020 5:32 PM - VintagePC: Unfortunate, but appreciated.
 
Apr 29, 2020 5:26 AM - theLumberJack: hey stat hows being back at work?
Apr 29, 2020 11:40 AM - Statboy: Its actually not bad. The number of kids coming in to get tested is dropping fast. We went from 100 a day to 15 a day while i was out
Apr 29, 2020 11:41 AM - Statboy: Right now were seeing about back up to 25 a day, because we have enough tests so everyone can get tested now
Apr 29, 2020 12:47 PM - theLumberJack: that's good
 
Apr 30, 2020 6:43 AM - Statboy: Construction workers at my hospital put an Umbrella Corp logo on there car today. Now we know who to blame for this
Apr 30, 2020 8:08 AM - VintagePC: lol
 
May 3, 2020 at 7:31 AM - VaultBot: break out the porn 'staches
May 3, 2020 at 7:31 AM - Statboy: I would like to let everyone know that testing for Covid is ramping up nation wide. Doctors were originally told "Only test if it would affect treatment" So those who did not require treatment were not tested
May 3, 2020 at 7:31 AM - Statboy: Now they are being told test anybody with one symptom, even if they are almost over it.
May 3, 2020 at 7:32 AM - Statboy: the result is a skyrocketing of the number of confirmed cases, with the reality being less cases.
May 3, 2020 at 7:33 AM - Statboy: We know there are less cases, because the number of people in hospital and needing treatment are going down nationwide
May 3, 2020 at 7:33 AM - Statboy: I felt it important to share this, as I see the news preaching doom and panic at the increase in confirmed cases
May 3, 2020 at 8:13 PM - VintagePC: It kinda stands to reason... that it's nowhere near as deadly as people think. Your perspective is pretty skewed if all you can see is the critically ill and dying.
May 3, 2020 at 8:15 PM - VintagePC: that was pretty much a foregone conclusion once they discovered it had already been circulating in the US well before march
May 3, 2020 at 8:16 PM - VintagePC: so I would not be surprised if a staggering chunk of the population has already contracted it
 
May 5, 2020 at 8:23 PM - Statboy: watching some Disney+ and realized the character I made in Pathfinder is actually this
May 5, 2020 at 8:23 PM - Statboy:

May 7, 2020 4:31 PM - VintagePC: Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation free in the humble store if you like RTS
May 7, 2020 4:34 PM - theLumberJack: i have it but never got around to trying it
May 7, 2020 4:36 PM - VintagePC: I mean, I enjoy RTSes to some degree (CnC, a few others)... I just hate that I can never get the time commitment to finish the campaigns
May 7, 2020 4:37 PM - theLumberJack: i love me some Total War for the turn based campaign with the real time battles
May 7, 2020 4:37 PM - theLumberJack: i had been playing the hell out of a campaign in Thrones of Britannia, and i had just subjugated the english and my game crashes at the end of my turn now
 
May 9, 2020 8:43 PM - VaultBot: anyd my phone rotates 360 degrees. so no matter which way i am planting potatoes today
May 9, 2020 8:43 PM - Hexalan: anyone seen english recently
