  - Here's hoping that you're working on the next "The Room" -- nm - JD Aug 3, 09:03 4
    - Ahah, not THAT bad, just inexperienced actors in a family comedy, so some bad acting and also a lot of people speaking on top of each other. -- (edited) - Guigue Aug 3, 09:05 3
      - oooh..then it might just be matter of the correct marketing...."In the tradition of Altman...." -- nm - JD Aug 3, 09:11 2
        
        Of God I would kill for some of the actors that wanted to work with Altman! -- nm - Guigue Aug 3, 09:18
        
        Though Altman's never made a movie I've liked... -- nm - Roger More Aug 3, 09:17

- I typically use BBQ meatballs as my go to for potluck. Super easy to cook in the instant pot -- nm - oblique Aug 3, 08:47 1

So what is the tactful way to tell/show the CEO whose phone went out of compliance for an iOS upgrade that the 4 email messages he says he didn't see - oblique Aug 3, 08:09 14
- there isn't, you just don't. -- nm - Andie Aug 3, 08:19 1
  - This. Unless they're asking for an explanation as to why they "never received" the email, just get them into compliance and move on. -- nm - Dano Aug 3, 08:25
- He didn't "see" them. Not sure he's saying they weren't delivered. There's a difference. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Aug 3, 08:19
- "Dear Dipshit" -- nm - Subject Line Aug 3, 08:17
- Is that the battle you need to win? -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 08:15 9
  - Not to win. Just told him I would follow up confirming whether or not the messages were quarantined or junked - oblique Aug 3, 08:20 7
    - then just say, "It appears they did go to your Inbox, they must have just been missed with the volume of emails you receive." Give him/her an 'excuse' -- nm - Andie Aug 3, 08:22 6
      - Can you do a “test” email just to him to “see” if it makes it to the inbox? - spamlet Aug 3, 08:28 1
        
        "This is concerning, crucial emails are not getting to our CEO's inbox. All hands!" -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 08:29
      - Yeah, I'm pointing out the "Focused Inbox" feature of Outlook as a possible culprit and showing him how to turn it off (we have a very good - oblique Aug 3, 08:26 1
        
        Focused inbox on Outlook is evil. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 09:00
      - And an offer to set up a rule that will highlight those messages for him in the future, if he would like that -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 08:26 1

    - That might be the only win Indy gets next year. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 09:07 2
      - .....you're not wrong. -- nm - Remlik Aug 3, 09:27

- Spawn, if Amy wants to go you need to register now for a chance to get tickets -- nm - Remlik Aug 3, 08:06 2
  - Yeah, "if Amy wants to go". - Spawn Aug 3, 08:40 1
    - hell I registered for all 3 days -- nm - Remlik Aug 3, 08:54

  - wow, the 94% or wow the 0% (still early)? or both? :) -- nm* - Beaker 🍺 Aug 3, 08:46 3
    - Mostly the 0% -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 08:48 2
      - Not surprised -- it looks stupid in a bad way, not a kitschy way to me. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 09:05 1
        
        I am more impressed than surprised -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 09:11
STIS: we have a large wool rug from my partner's departed Aunt. she always had dogs, a few stinky ones, so the rug was always.. doggy. - colin Aug 3, 07:39 12
- Dry clean it. -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 09:02
- Vinegar neutralizes a lot of odours but it's what you're willing to put in to save it. -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 08:42
- We've had a lot of success with Nature's Miracle products for that kind of stuff if you haven't tried it and want to give it one last go -- nm - oblique Aug 3, 07:58 1
  - Yeah. I was going to ask if a product specifically designed to remove pet odor (like Nature's Miracle) was tried. I think it's worth one last try. -- nm - Dano Aug 3, 08:23
- I would steam clean it, let it dry, steam clean it again, let it dry, steam clean it again, then put it in the most direct sunlight you can - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Aug 3, 07:57 1
  - i think that's it.. just more cleaning, see what we can do. -- nm - colin Aug 3, 08:41

  - This is my answer - Pippy Quintas Aug 3, 08:00
  - yep. -- nm - Andie Aug 3, 07:58
- 5 years from now... heck, one year from now, would you even remember that you had it? -- nm - Mop🧹 Aug 3, 07:41 1
  - yes. it's my partner's dead aunt's rug that she had in her house for decades. -- nm - colin Aug 3, 08:07
Ummmm nope: "Amusement park guests in Ohio were forced to walk down a 200+ foot roller coaster by stairs after a mechanical issue." -- (pic) - Jovian Aug 3, 07:13 [Attachment] 5

Just FYI, The Big Brother S25 feeds are available on Pluto TV. (also Paramount+ obiv, but Pluto is free) -- nm - Jovian Aug 3, 06:38 5
- I saw on my Fire TV that "Old" is on Freevee now. Thought that was interesting. -- nm - oblique Aug 3, 06:42
- One interesting thing about Big Brother is that you can directly see how editing can create a narrative by comparing the tv episodes to the feeds. -- nm - Dano Aug 3, 06:40 3
  - Correct. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 3, 06:56
  - oh absolutely. two entirely different worlds. -- nm - Jovian Aug 3, 06:44 1

Ugh... my bank just "improved" their Bill Payment page. - Dano Aug 3, 06:22 11
- My bank never had such a page, which would be great. But yeah, the changes mess up more than they help. I have used 5/3 for over a decade. - Spawn Aug 3, 09:06
- you know what banks haven't "improved" in 100 years? checks -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 3, 08:08
- Mine is Wells Fargo and I like it (it's like yours was) The Hist.Soc. uses the Bank of the West and I hate it. They're becoming BMO next month so - Meg Aug 3, 07:43
- I just find the bank bill pay archaic, only last resort. Pay direct on mine in most cases. -- nm - budice Aug 3, 07:11 5
  - this is what I do too. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Aug 3, 07:58
  - that sounds like a lot of work. - Pippy Quintas Aug 3, 07:38
  - I do mine via Quicken. Never interact with the bank web page but Quicken sends all my checks for me via the bank (but not the Quicken bill pay) -- (edited) - oblique Aug 3, 07:29
  - I just liked that I could see everything on one page. It also reduces the number of sites that have my banking information. -- nm - Dano Aug 3, 07:25
  - I prefer the bank because it's only one login. I don't want to have to log in to multiple sites just to pay my bills. I used to use mycheckfree for - sycor Aug 3, 07:21
- I hate it when banks do that. -- nm - znufrii 🦄 Aug 3, 07:02
