    Try scaling them down. My camera has ridiculous resolution, and the forum won't host images that large.

    Sticking a load of logs through it afterwards ought to do the tick, or just use a stolen chipper and dump it afterwards (theoretically, natch)

    Or just run so many people through it that they can't get any individual matches. (This does pose other problems, admittedly)

    Still won't work. They're on my phone so I'm not exactly sure how to change resolution on it. I might try using a camera instead.

    I still think the pig farm is the best option. No one ever has to know a thing - in theory.;)

    That moment when you have to change your opening scene because that path you saw on google maps turned out to be a small road.
    That moment when your research consists of asking google what side of the road people drive on in Germany.

    Also, that moment when you're starting to wonder whether half the people on this message board are actually serial killers.

    Half sounds excessive. It's probably no more than a quarter.

    That moment when your co-worker says 'pacific' instead of 'specific' for the umpteenth time today. This has been going on for far too long, but I don't have the heart to correct him but every time he says it, it's like nails on a chalk board. :supermad:

    Tell him you're going out to dinner tonight for pasghetti. That might fix it, or at least when he corrects you to spaghetti you can say 'oh I thought that's how we're saying things that start with 'sp' now'.

    Hahaha I wish I had the balls to do something like that @Homer Potvin and @Trish !
    Thing is he'd be the first to call anyone else out over something like that. He said to me today "Don't put an exclamation at the end of your email, it's so unprofessional."

    Me: "Oh, really? What would you put on the end then?"

    Him: "A smiley face"

    WHAT?! How is a smiley face more professional than an exclamation mark?! I honestly have no words.

    I love that smell. Reminds me of my grandparents' cottage on Lake Huron.

    Will this play in your area, or is it geoblocked?

    That moment when it rains a bit during the intense summer sunshine. Makes me wanna jump up and do the rain dance, praising mother nature for some relief.

    So come up with reasons to say specific and say it as pacific. He'll pick up on it (hopefully). It's passive aggressive (and honestly I'm far too forward for it) but it should work in your case :) (Smiley so my response appears professional)

    My grandparents had a place near there - St. Joseph Island. It was too far from Toronto to visit often - we have our cottage in the Kawartha Lakes region.

    The fail strong in this one is

    (for the record he's sort of right in that exclamations are rarely needed in professional correspondence - however smileys are even less professional)

    You're telling me that my string of 13 emojis as a signature in all of my work emails contributed to having lost my job?
