How is it possible that he became more punchable?

[Akura]

That video brings up a good point. Is he so much a massive douchebag that it's impossible to find an impartial jury with which to have a legally fair trial against him? Now, what does that mean, is it impossible to actually try him for anything since a fair jury is impossible? How do you proceed from there?

[Rolan7]

I used to smile when I got nervous.  It's a pretty embarrassing "tell" to live with, since people assume you're happy about whatever you supposedly did.

[Criptfeind]

Yeah, to be fair I thought it was a little unpleasant to focus on his looks when insulting him. Like, I mean. "Guy who jacked up price of life saving medicine 5000% goes to trial, can't find a fair jury because everyone hates him" is already a very funny story. "Guy with punchable face, you remember, the guy with the really punchable face who did some bad thing and his face is so punchable? He's going to trial and god his face is so punchable that even the jury want to punch his face." is in my opinion actually less funny.

I don't even know who this guy is. Put me on the jury!

He really does look like an asshole. Funny how that works.

Comcast

There's your problem.

Oh, and don't call customer service. It won't help.

Yeah, my dad had worked for Comcast before they did cable (back in the 80's iirc) and they literally were told to throw away any and all service tickets even if they were not done.

I worked for comcast internet tech support.  (please don't hurt me)

In the off chance you get someone from tier 2 or 3 (like me) who knew what they were talking about with the equipment, if they need to do any communication with another department to get you sorted, you are out of luck.  We can put in notes for the in home techs, but the in home techs rarely have the clearance to read them, we can transfer to provisioning, but we aren't allowed to speak to the other agent, (it's call avoidance because comcast thinks 2 agents on one call for even a second is a waste of resources) and any notes we enter has a 10 minute delay before becoming visible.  Supervisors claim it's because scripts have a 100% success rate when followed properly, and they won't allow us to manipulate their script.  Once I even had a supervisor tell me that we are not paid to fix problems.

The new equipment is often completely untested, to the point where one new Arris wireless gateway we were getting had special setup instructions, and nobody in the tech department were told.  We eventually figured out how to set them up ourselves, and then word came from up top to stop doing that and insisted we just do the usual setup (which is proven to not work and afterwards require an in home tech and charge for professional setup)  2 weeks later instructions came down to do exactly what we were doing in the first place.

I don't blame the comcast techs for the problems (though most are admittedly undertrained) I blame the company's policy of absolutely no inter-department communication, and complete ignorance in the technical side of any part of their business.

Just cracked open the bag of wasabi peas I bought earlier, thinking to console myself about my hearing woes with a deliciously masochistic snack. As the thought occurred to me (doubtless inspired by the current, wild panickiness of my imagination) that the last time I indulged in a bag of these burning little blighters had been, as far as I can recall, around the same time my hearing began to worsen, I idly thumbed the words "does wasabi cause deafness" into Google.

I discovered a prominent thread on a deafness forum on the topic, with several people claiming that eating spicy foods, including wasabi, had given them bad cases of tinnitus.
What. What!!

Something like two-thirds of the meals I eat are spicy to some degree! And last time I doggedly scoffed a whole bag of these pellets of pain in a single afternoon! Now, I hate to be the type who grabs some obscure, unreferenced factoid off the internet and breaks down into a hysterical frenzy over it, but this is deeply concerning, damnit! And also quite exciting, I must confess.
I had never heard of such a thing as spicy foods causing hearing loss, temporary or otherwise. Enough people seemed to be weighing in on the subject that perhaps there's a grain (or a pea, even) of truth there. Could my recent troubles in the ear area be not, in fact, caused by a sudden sharp decline from moderate hearing loss to extreme, but simply by my careless and sometimes bizarre snacking habits?!

Somebody decided to set off all their goddamn fireworks. Its like a full city sponsored show.
