RE: Universal Chat Thread - Moonface - Aug 23rd, 2026
@Dragon Lord: Jeez, $100 for a single line is ridiculous. I don't even know what could be offered to make that close to worth it.
I learned today that there is likely no cover for any of my coworkers shifts from Wednesday onwards, and if not it means there's nobody to build the sales display or work the deliveries. Normally I cover it, but I wasn't scheduled. I could bring it up, but I don't see why I should need to tell management how to handle the scheduling for the store.
RE: Universal Chat Thread - Maniakkid25 - Aug 23rd, 2026
Heh, yeah, that sounds like their problem, not yours. I totally get why you wouldn't bring it up.
My RCA capture card is dying a slow, horrible death based on how noisy the video signal is. It's really bad; I shouldn't have recorded 20+ hours of footage for another game on it. I'm too lazy to trash it, but it looks absolutely awful.

RE: Universal Chat Thread - Maniakkid25 - Aug 24th, 2026
Hell no, it wasn't in one shot! I record in hour-ish increments, but I wasn't paying attention to the signal until now. The new one I got still has a little noise in the signal, but not nearly as bad; it might be an AV cable artifact that's not helping matters. I should switch up to direct HDMI -- there are conversion cables to let you directly hook an HDMI cable to the output.
RE: Universal Chat Thread - Mr EliteL - Aug 26th, 2026
Ah yes of course your store had a backup plan, get the other Frozen colleague to do it instead. Genius idea, no need to get any management on there or lend any help at all.
CBA with work tomorrow, but eh, just gotta get it over with. Did some removing of ivy building up on our wall today, which is next to other plantation with slight spikes. I got stuck in and have many scratches on my arms, yay.
RE: Universal Chat Thread - Maniakkid25 - Aug 26th, 2026
So I found out something today about my key fob. See, I have a keyless ignition car, but it has a secret compartment to get a key. There are no locks on the door, and the "backup" ignition lock is underneath the dashboard panels, requiring a screwdriver to get at them. SO WHY IS THERE A FUCKING KEY?!
I hate keyless ignition, and there is a simple reason for that: I forget things. I don't want to have to worry about whether or not I forgot the key in the car again, and the only way I can do that with keyless ignition is to keep the key in my pocket at all times, even when my clothes are off! It's the only way I can keep track of it! At least with a keyed ignition, I have an action I have to do to physically grab the key so I am less likely to forget that.
You have no idea how pissed off I am that this exists. If it's fucking keyless ignition, it shouldn't have a fucking key! Period! And if it really is a backup, it should be fucking accessible without tools! But no, the backup is just holding the key fob to the damn button, hoping that it reads an emergency chip inside it. I want to smash this fucking thing, you have no idea!
