I have a good friend that works with these nut cases daily.
I call them nut cases because about 70% of them keep taking about how they need to violate their oath to the US Constitution to (in their exclusive opinion) "protect the country for the deep state".
The US government is way too stupid to either develop a "deep state" or keep it secret.
Conspiracy theories are rampant in the US military.
This brings back memories.
When I was in university, I worked in the computer services department (IT services for the campus). A social science prof down the hall would use a program called SPSS (Statistics Package for Social Sciences) to do various statistics on data sets.
It was available on two platforms: PC & VAX
The PC had about 4 MB of RAM. The VAX (a large centralized computer) had much more (not sure the amount, but I'm guessing around 256 MB at least). The data sets they were using would sometimes require more RAM to process than the PC had (even with swap space), and would give an "out of memory" error.
They always came down the hall and would ask us what to do. The answer was always the same, "Some combination of: get more RAM/swap space for the PC, shrink the data set, simplify the complexity of the query or run it on the VAX server."
They finally started saying, "We connect to VAX, get more memory?"
I don't know if they thought using telnet to connect to the VAX actually caused the local PC to gain RAM or not but it was an inside pun for the department for a couple of years ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) .
Farming - family has been doing it for ~5 generations. I'd say we have put in about $10 M dollars over time (adjusted for inflation).
What's that dear? It's a way of life/occupation . . . are you sure? Seems like it must be a hobby given the return we've made on it over the years. Well, if you're sure.
My wife said that farming is technically an occupation and not a hobby. I still have my doubts given how much we have thrown away on it over the years, but I don't like to disagree with her (she's usually right).
What are we going to do tomorrow night Brain?
As a farmer who's family has grown probably 2M+ bushes of soybeans since they became popular in the 70s. I can truly say that the worst part is spending night after night with little needles injecting the Republican poison into the fattest beans.
/s - do I really need this here? Oh hell yeah!
x1,000,000,000. WTF is happening to our country?
So . . . we need to alert the rest of the world how to get their stuff back from the British Museum. Got it.
Yeah, my coworkers said how great it would have been after the Colorado movie theater shooting (Batman movie) if everyone was armed. They just knew the original shooter would have been killed right away.
So,
Who in their right mind thinks basically everyone wouldn't have been mowed down in a hail of gun fire?
Damn, he dodged a bullet there! (tell me he didn't marry her after that).
As the parent of a special needs child I was completely aghast about that. Doesn't even make sense because they want people to "pull their own weight" (which is just what that person was doing)!
Saw at least one of my teachers drunk in public basically every night (local bar and grill).
Well, there's obviously nothing inside their skulls anyway 😜.
comparison to electric furnaces. That has been widely known for years to be hilariously inefficient.
By this, I'm thinking you mean "electric resistance heating" - i.e an electric heater.
Electric resistance heat is 100% efficient. Heat pumps can easily be 200%+ efficient.
I've been a Christian all my life; I'm really, really sure that Christ can not only "restore" a body from nothing but make it much better than it was before. At least, I hope He plans to make it much better 😃
And here is what you get: Former Clark County Sheriff Hit With More Fraud, Money Laundering Charges
They can have him, I don't want him; he's too (everything horrible) for me.
So you had Yahoo email too 😉
Well, I and my AD&D group tried:
About once a year, we would play an "evil group". We were trying to capture a silver dragon to enslave it (a good creature). To attract it, we locked the men and women of the town in the church and set it on fire. Still not evil enough to get it's attention. So . . . we started throwing the children/babies in the fire too.
That did it!
One of my SOs supervisors actually gave gold stars for good work. These were full grown adults, with children/mortgages/cars and, they thought, professional careers. She had worked there over 30 years when this happened.
Moral was quite affected by this "genius idea"!
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go!
I owe my soul to the company store.
Can't say any of them last, but Teaberry was always a brand I liked.
Not in 'merica it don't!
So many people I've met don't have a clue about critical thinking/reasoning.
Something's rotten (and it's not in Denmark this time)!
I'm a traditionalist, so bias. I just never got a round to radials.
If only they had purchased a smart employee that could count (like you) to do this job instead of a "stupid cow that can't count", this could have all been avoided. /s
Glad to hear they got what they wanted!
They'll get that changed soon enough.
Everybody knows that 😜 /s
Funny you should mention this - we must have both worked at the same place.
BLUF - Management required us to mark wrong number calls as "closed, not resolved". Next day I had 6 calls all day (really slow Sat) with 2 wrong numbers. I didn't meet my statistics for 90%+ "first call resolution" - because the idiots in management required me to mark two as "not resolved".
I had to build a spreadsheet and trace in detail all 6 of my calls to show them why.
That is a question of faith my friend.
I like it, I like it!
I think they know that ☝️
All they know is hate filled destruction and obstruction.
Not just the orange asshole, the whole party has gone bat shit crazy.
Seagate - bought 3 of their drives . All 3 failed within a month of the warranty being up. But they said "Warranty is up so suck it"; two can play that game.
Actually, this is Clark County Indiana (not Nevada). But I'm sure there is plenty of corruption to go around.
Where's Major Tom?
Civilian employees will get it all paid back (so it's basically an extra paid vacation for them). With what most of them make (that I interact with), if they can't take responsibility for simple budgeting for a couple of weeks - that's their own shitty fault.
Should Congress not put us in this situation - absolutely! They need to loose all their pay (i.e. no later payback) for at least twice as long as the shutdown is. I know, won't matter to the vast majority of them.
I'm sorry, so sorry. Please accept my apology 😭.
Humans "allowed to eat"?
Challenge accepted!
