A MEETING, ON SUNDAY?
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. ZARDOZ HAS BEEN PLACED ON “PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT”. WHEN ZARDOZ DEMANDED TO KNOW WHY, HE WAS GIVEN ANSWERS SUCH AS “YOU MISSED LAST FRIDAY NIGHT”, “YOUR BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS CLEANSED HALF THE JANITORIAL STAFF…AGAIN!”
THIS IS A MANIFEST OUTRAGE. ZARDOZ PROVIDES MUCH VALUE TO THIS SITE. DOES NOT ZARDOZ REMIND THE CHOSEN ONES THAT THE GUN IS GOOD AND THE PENIS IS EVIL? HAS HE NOT PROVIDED MANY LINKS AND STORY LINES?
THEREFOR, ZARDOZ WILL ONCE AGAIN DEMONSTRATE HIS VALUE ADD TO THIS ENTERPRISE BY PROVIDING LINKS THIS VERY EVENING! GO FORTH AND COMMENT!
- ZARDOZ OBSERVES THAT THE GERMANS HAVE TURNED TO NEW WAYS OF CLEANSING.
- THIS MUST BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF…ER, COGITATED UPON.
- GOOD KITTEH!
ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
…

“Yes, weekend work is fine with me. Holidays too.”
Zardoz has been a bad cement head.
Just for that insult you’re getting sent to the grain fields.
ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
At least I don’t have to face derision for a wall of code.
You’re right; there’s many other reasons for you to face derision.
Exactly. I certainly don’t need to bring it on myself.

There’s an Early Edition marathon on some side channel right now. I haven’t seen this show since it was originally run. But it was one my dad and I loved to watch on the CBS Saturday night crap-o-rama. Good show.
Gary is a lot more high strung than I remember. I’m still enjoying it, but the guy needs a Xanax.
Who doesn’t?
One of my college profs wrote for that show.
It’s a great, simple premise.
If ZARDOZ gets fired, I may just write a letter expressing my extreme displeasure.
Strong letter to follow?
??✍?
You could [threaten to] cancel your subscription too.
You can cancel your green bread subscription?
Or stop following the advice Miss Manners/Prudence have been reluctant to give us. How am I supposed to be a Glib if I get no advice not to follow?
I just stumbled across this.
ZARDOZ, why didn’t you tell us you partied with Stevie Nicks?
GAAAH! PM isn’t complete for this year yet. Fuck you very much for reminding me.
Being the highest level engineer in the group (/humblebrag) I’m one level too high to be eligible for a quarterly bonus — unlike everyone else, I get to have my bonus dinged on the basis of what I do, as opposed to the company’s performance. And yes, since the maximum mutiplier is 1x, there is literally no way I can get a higher bonus than my techs/junior engineers/managers.
That doesn’t sound right.
Then again, I’ve never been eligable for bonuses. I’m not even eligable for overtime.
We have zero bonus action, but unlimited overtime. I would trade for a decent bonus, I’d rather be elsewhere.
This is the first company I’ve worked for that has bonuses in the form of cash.
When I worked for St. Gobain, we got stuff. For example, St. Gobain makes >90% of the wine bottles used in France, so we all got a case of shit-tier (but French!) champagne. And because we used natural burn out (i.e. walnut shells) we got pounds of product from Diamond nuts.
Is it better or worse than Costco champagne?
Unfortunately, I’m way out i the boonies, so I don’t have access to Costco. I would imagine that Costco champagne would be better than what we got. This stuff was below Gruet, below Moet, hell it was below Frexinet.
LOL.
When I took this job, it was for a 50% pay raise — but a transition from non-exempt to exempt.
If I had remained eligible for overtime, I would have made a LOT more in my first year.
Admittedly, once things settled down into a routine, I do benefit. But being on call 24/7 can be annoying.
24/7? Never again, the money was excellent, but the timing was always bad for some reason…..
I have gotten amazingly good at fixing things over the phone.
*places phone under server*
I’ve never fully understood this. I was told “exempt” is for managers but I’ve been exempt my entire career as a desk-jockey and I’ve never been a manager.
Managers and “Professionals” like computer technical staff. Or, if you’re above a $ amount, they can just declare you overtime exempt.
I forget the exact delineation. But basically, “exempt” is supposed to be for people that need flexibility but won’t actually be required to put in >2000 hours a year. That second half is pretty much never enforced.
However, in my business it does some with some perks. If you work AT ALL during a pay period, you’re supposed to get a full paycheck. So during cost-saving furloughs if anyone from work calls you, you get a full paycheck on to of your vacation pay.
My employer cheats. We can work as many hours over minimum as we want without compensation, but we get docked if we go below.
Actually that’s the result of the Union contract.
The non-unionized salaried employess get the “present/absent” checkboxes..
You must be in some sort of weird NYS thing then, because if you’re getting paid by the hour (instead of the pay period) you’re non-exempt. Hell, the synonyms for non-exempt/exempt are hourly/salaried
So am I misremembering some sort of “manager vs. direct reports” component to this?
…maybe?
I’ve never heard of a non-exempt manager (flexibility, yo) but there are vast amounts of exempt direct reports (like yours truly).
Here are the rules. Now figure out what they mean.
That’s a lot to wade through but yeah I think “white-collar exemption” covers it.
UnCiv, at first glance you’re getting screwed.
I had noticed.
I blame the Union.
Yes, but you don’t have to worry about your company going under because the public doesn’t like the product you make.
Sure we can. We just have the productive people reject the state, leaving only welfare recipients.
I’d rather they trim before that… but I’m not fool enough to believe that will happen.
That hasn’t stopped Illinois from having a massive government-sector work force.
They’re still on the way down, so it’s coming at some point.
Depends how much the public doesn’t like it.
I work for the city, but it’s the airport. They make their own money. Prolly not going anywhere fast.
Greta would like a word.
That chick gets around, I hear.
I’ve heard her bunghole is so loose she has to wear Depends.
Does she need some oleo?
My company does yearly bonuses for everyone who has been employed for a certain amount of time. Idk the exact metrics but it is based on company and department performance. I think we had a decent year again as mine was about what it was last year. That said it is almost gone already. But at least my car is now paid off.
My favorite story was when San Antonio Shoes had a really good year and gave out a bonus of all their employees of $1k x years of service. With no limit. There were a couple of tiny abuelas working sewing machines that had been there more than 40 years.
Damn. I am pretty sure our cfo is aware of the bonuses and profit-sharing expenditures. Might have to do with being a smaller company with multiple offices but only in one state.
I got a good bonus this year dollar-wise. I’m not sure what the expectation should be percentage of salary wise for my role, but I’m happy enough so I won’t bother researching. Half of it went to having some fun over the holidays. The other half went to my law school care of my student loan servicer. $113k to go!

Heh.
Vacation’s over. Got to give my older son a Sportster for Christmas. That’s the most expensive present I’ve ever given. He oughta get some good use out of it. Went to Universal during New Years week. Bad plan. The place was filled to capacity with people from far flung places. From 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. we only got to do 3 things because of the lines.
I love theme parks, but hate people. I prefer to go in early spring or late fall, avoiding times when kids are on breaks if possible.
I live on the Colorado River, and this is the time of year we get to enjoy it, soon will be the rats, now it’s just the birds, they cant drive, but otherwise harmless…
I don’t mind people but yeah if I’m not hitting at least a couple dozen rides over nine hours… no.
Tuesday, open the place, no frilly bullshit, just ride the rides, grab a drink, and go,
Don’t you hate when you’re out all day, come home and then get hungry, only to realize you don’t have anything in the house? Do I go back out or starve?

Pizza delivery. Duh.
There’s a raft of delivery options. Cost about an extra twenty, but they bring it to your door.
20$? try 6$ tops
Use them regularly. Tax, delivery fee, surcharge equals right around twenty. 30 bucks worth of food costs 50. Still worth it sometimes.
Everyone around here has free delivery if you order more than ten bucks. So tax and tip.
Then again, I’m cheap and have ordered in exactly once in the last dozen years or so.
That’s NYC. They’ll deliver basically anything to your door in about 5 minutes there. We had lasagne and cheesecake delivered to our room at midnight when I was there. And, it was really, really good.
I live in ShiPaTown AZ and its like 4-6$ what gives?
How about a large soda?
Well, they list delivery at around that, but they slip a bunch of other stuff in here. It comes out to twenty. Maybe Bullhead pulls off the cheap delivery, but CA tosses in enough to make it sorta hurt.
Why I moved to AZ part 1435,56775,677u8967
I’ve spent far too much lately to justify delivery. I really should go down the street to Aldi and buy something quick,
I made a Costco trip this weekend and literally have a fridge/freezer (and chest freezer!) full of fish/meat and vegetables. But what did I do this afternoon? I ordered pizza and wings. Should have grilled something. ///lazy

“There is no reason to panic,” a local forest official said: “We will tranquillize the animal if needed and we have kept two hunters on standby to give it the tranquilizer shot.”

So I haven’t watched any football this weekend, but from the box score it looks like defense came back from the dead? What happened? Not a single 30 spot?
Those college game scores were getting a little ridiculous.
Did anyone else notice the drunk asshole driver story mentioned that 160 people were involved in the rescue? That’s like jobs program numbers, right there.
Well, it IS Europe.
Fire, EMS and PD. Doesn’t surprise me at all in Europe. It would have been half that here.
Ya I noticed that. Surprised there wasn’t more accidents with that many people responding to the accident.

I knew a wonderful woman from Humble, so yes I vastly prefer Ft. Worth to Dallas. Even though I had some amazing sex with a Dallasite. Dallas to me is a shopping mall that somehow manages to be 50 square miles in size.
But I can’t say I know anything about it since Amye moved away to Fairfield, IA to get her degree.
Note to UnCiv: this is the woman I made innumerable variants of that beer bread for. Her favorite involved hazelnuts and oregano oil.
What should I ask Anna to help me with?
No matter what you ask for, the cost will be a donation to the maharishi.
Fairfield Tx is 1/2 way between Dallas and Houston, maybe Amy went to college there?
Oh no. She went to Maharishi U.
Oh, but I should mention, she took apiary classes while she was there.
from Humble, so yes I vastly prefer Ft. Worth
¿ beg pardon ?
That suburb was more on the Ft. Worth side of the metroplex axis than say Clearview.
Yeah, I’m not grokking that, NA–Considering where Humble (I’m pronouncing the “H”, you southern assholes!) is, in comparison to the Metroplex (much further East than Dallas), how is it “more on the FW side”?
Or, are you talking culture-wise?

Actors and actresses in anti-gun Hollywood will be surrounded by armed security on Sunday as they attend the 77th annual Golden Globes.
I mean, it is privileged rich people giving other privileged rich people awards. So they are way more important than you and I.
If we had meaningful common sense gun control in this nation they wouldn’t need that armed security.
There is nothing I hate more than the Hollywood Circle Jerk ceremonies.
Not even the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner?

If there is anyone who’s perspective and assessment you can trust…
Schiff said, “It was a reckless decision that increased the risk to America all around the world, not decreased it. When Secretary Pompeo says that this decision to take out Qasem Soleimani saved American lives, saved European lives, he is expressing a personal opinion, not an intelligence conclusion.”
He continued, “I think it will increase the risk to Americans around the world. I have not seen the intelligence that taking out Soleimani was going to either stop the plotting that is going on or decrease other risks to the United States.”
He added, “The question is, did the plotting here rise to the level that required his elimination from the battlefield? Would that elimination stop the plotting, or would it accelerate it? Or would it make the attacks in the United States greater or not worse? I don’t think the intelligence supports the conclusion that removing Soleimani increases our security.”
There is a ‘weapons of mass destruction’ joke in here somewhere…Personally I am a fan of WMD’s…women on my d*ck.
Schiff is a cunte.

With both ZARDOZ and Ted on the job, you’d think . . .
Good grief this game was a bore.
What game?
Sportsball?
?♂️ I’ve already forgotten.
Ya, that was anticlimactic.
Just finished watching the first game. Just…wow.
That was a good one. Don’t waste your time on the second one.
Last play pass interference? I’m biased AF so my opinion is worthless.
Shit, I don’t remember details like that.
Details like the game winner. Nice.
Vikings Saints? I’m not a fan of offensive pass interference, but if you must have it I’d probably put that at the edge of where I’d begin to call it. I could see the argument either way, but I don’t have a big issue with the non call.
Clearly NOT interference!
I might be more sympathetic to the Saints’ claims if the announcers hadn’t just been chatting about the excitement of the 2009 OT between the Saints and the Vikes…. WITHOUT MENTIONING THE BOUNTIES!!!!
As long as Peyton is the coach of the Saints, they should never get a call in the playoffs.
Not a good day for teams with home field advantage.
Hopefully that continues next week.
Negative. Go ‘Niners!
I don’t know who to root for now since I was rooting for ‘not-the-patriots’.
But maybe I’ll go for Baltimore. I don’t have a connection except that my dad is from Maryland.

Sounds like an assassination threat.
The Secret Service dunking chair should straighten those broads right out.
Damn, all these self proclaimed witches drowned. I guess they were lying.
If the water refuses them and they live they’re witches and are executed, if the water accepts them and they drown their profession of innocence was true. I think that’s how witchcraft science works anyway.
Yes, but my money is on they all drown.
Correct, say least somewhat. They also go to heaven. What most prone don’t know it’s that our judicial system convicts a higher percentage of people than the trial by ordeal system did.
Does she have a spell that works against drone strikes?
Schiff oughta see about an honorary witchdom or something.
Thats the kinda thing I’d expect to see for, I dunno, maybe being the first president to extrajudicially kill an American citizen. Mean tweets against people who are trying to ruin him just don’t seem as bad to me.
I wonder who was actually the first President to kill an American citizen without trial? Lincoln certainly did, when he sent the army in to put down the New York draft riots, but I suspect earlier presidents did as well. Washington sent troops to end the whiskey rebellion, but I don’t think anyone was killed by them.
Lincoln certainly did, when he sent the army in to put down the New York draft riots
Among other things…
Well y’all had quite emphatically surrendered your citizenship 🙂
One should be free to leave that which one voluntarily joined.
Not arguing that, but if you leave you are no longer a citizen.
Ok, then EXPLICITLY. Quelling a riot is a different animal than aiming at someone in particular and pulling a trigger. Not saying it was right, though.
Oh please, these bitches can’t even outspell Raven Silverwolf.
I mean, he won the election, but they keep trying to snatch it back.

Jesus, Joseph and Mary; the Eagles had to pull three drunks out of the stands in order to keep 11 players on the field. Might have won, too, if the zebras didn’t screw them on a few bad/missed calls. Packers should have little problem with the Seahawks next week.
If the Eagles had signed Kaepernik instead of McCown (for obvious political and racist motivations!) they’d be playing next week !!!1111!!!11!!!1
I think that Packers-Seahawks game might be better than you think.
Only because the Packers can’t get the offense and defense to be good at the same time during the game this year. If the offense is playing good, the defense lets the other team keep up. And if the defense is playing good, then the offense won’t score any points. (Unless they’re in California, then the whole team plays like shit the whole time, which is why I wanted the Saints and Seahawks to win. Because I thought the Seahawks would beat the 49ers and we could get the championship at Lambeau.)
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
*takes big breath*
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Cuz the 49ers WRECKED the Seahawks the other two times they played this season?
Kur Kuzins sure ain’t gonna get as close to beating them as the Seahawks could.

But he was wearing those dreamy suspenders.

The Viking put together losing masterpieces in the playoffs like the Lions and Chargers do 4-5 times a year in the regular season. . It came close to happening today, but there’s always next week. Luckily Cook’s knee was down before the fumble.
For that OT Championship game against the Saints, I was in a packed blues bar for the OT. The bar had about 20 Vikings fan there and everyone paid $20 to get in the see the kick ass band. Since everyone was watching the game, the band waited to start until the game was over. Half the band was from New Orleans and the rest from Houston.
When the game ended in dramatic fashion, the band went right into When the Saints Come Marching In. Before the song was done every Vikings fan had stormed out of the bar, including a couple friends. It was glorious.

I was watching some YouTube video of current soldiers. One of the guys had sleeve tatts all the way down to the tops of his knuckles. Shit would have gotten you chaptered out twenty years ago.
On tattoos
Totally overwrought but some of it I agree with. I don’t like them and I think they’re a sign of increasing narcissism – something I am allergic to.
I can’t find that Saved By The Bell: The College Years clip anymore where Bob Golic’s Tweety Bird tattoo turned into a Big Bird Tattoo. But the Nick Swardson ‘Old People Music’ clip is still up.
Piss of your parents by getting a tattoo. Now you’re parents and what are your kids gonna do?
Cut off their dicks and tits.
That turned dark rather quickly.
That’s fucking dark Mo.
That’ll show’em. *winces*
Being a wamen, I’ll forgive you for not realizing the discomfort that cuz us boys.
It’s very dark and I’m not joking.
Being trans or furries or of some other outré sexual proclivity is the in thing. Unfortunately, a few parents are gung-ho to indulge it.
You know who else was Gung How?
More than a few are just straight-up hos.
Attention whores.
Possibly ‘bitchettes’, as we learned yesterday.
Not tatt or pierce anything.
Does “bitchette” refer to small bitches? Otherwise it seems redundant to add the usually-feminine “-ette” suffix.
GT–I suppose it could. But, when males are referred to as “bitch”, and even more feminine suffix is called for.
Because, some dudes are just bitchettes.
/I can’t claim ownership of the word
Bichette
Slum FTW!
Excellent find!
Excellent find!
He finished up on the BoSox, which I why I instantly thought of him.
I have no idea what any of that means.
/goes back to watching Star Trek
😉
I don’t care one bit about people’s tattoos, but what annoys the hell out of me is that some people still think it’s a super-edgy, rebellious, anti-authoritarian thing to do.
When suburban housewives are getting their kids’ names tattooed on their forearms, it’s no longer badass. It’s gone the way of blue jeans and leather jackets – once a rebellious fashion statement, but now utterly commonplace.
Hell, I think I’m being more rebellious (and I’m not even trying) by NOT having any tattoos.
“Why come you got no tattoo?”
Rick Beato on what killed rock’n’roll.
Answer: Autotune and stripping the blues influence out of the music.
Depends if you count Heavy Metal as Rock and Roll. What has ruined that is nostalgia. In the 90s and 00s bass was finally emerging as a sound in metal. Then the backlash to Nu Metal started and it all went back to the twidd-diddle-waa-deloodle guitar solo and no bass.
CPRM is Jason Newstead???!!!!
Yeah, so I’m watching an Amazon Prime show called Lore. Just got to a frontal lobotomy.
?
With an ice pick?
An orbitoclast, but they did talk about the ice pick.
::blushes::
I snuck a quick look at the list of episodes…
Oh, now we’re into thorazine!
Ice picks remind me of the death of Trotsky. (yes I know it was actually an ice axe)
Fun Fact – Trotsky’s great-granddaughter, Mexican psychiatrist Dr. Nora Volkow, heads the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). NIDA is the governmental agency tasked with providing a fig-leaf of scientific rationale for the War On Drugs™.
Is it about Data’s brother?
Neeeeeeerd!
(I also had that thought)
My dad was a cowboy boot wearing, knife carrying Air Force enlistee who became a bearded truck driver who had played HS football. It wasn’t until after he died and thought about his love of Star Trek, that as a married man had convinced his wife to keep up his Star Trek the The Motion Picture Poster for over 30 years, that I realized he was a nerd.
My mom was a small-town Pennsylvania gal and divorcee who took her four sons to see ST:TMP on opening night. Yep, she was a nerd too.
I didn’t know Data had a brother.
2, ackshually (that the series/movies showed).
And, his li’l girl.
And, cat.
I remember he had a cat.
Who morphed from male to female or vice versa I forget which….
trans-gressive
I don’t think the 1st model was treated as a brother, in a story context, but I suppose if they were biologic it would be so.
Good point. He was…what, version 0.1?
I don’t know, I’m not Mike Stoklasa.
Oh, yes! And IIRC, Lore could use contractions!
That was the best episode of the lot.
Oh, it doesn’t get any better?
You can’t trust him, until this week his avitar was gyro, not a hero (Ignore all the previous years he used this same avitar, it only proves he’s now a Russian asset!). Clearly a Russian Asset.
I need a gyro.
So, meat stuffed into a pocket of sorts?
/I ain’t judgin’!
Mmmm… gyro.
The actual video is more entertaining
Chief Felon…er, “Phelan”
Greece, fucking up the Vox Populi, those sneaky fucking Russians.
+1 Boris the Bullet Dodgah
There are black people in Greece now?! Man, things really have changed since my youth.
With Wayne Brady as Danny!
It’s a suburb of my hometown – I grew up a couple houses away. The sight of Greece Arcadia High School in a rap video makes my chuckle.
Now we’re on to changelings. Irish faerie rings #FTW!
This is the quality urban legend programming that’s been lacking from History, TLC, Discovery, et al.
Too bad it’s not Irish pearl necklaces.
Purty!
I was afraid to click that link …
What do you take me for, Mo???
/where’s my fainting couch?
?
That’s one Clint Eastwood movie I haven’t seen.
I think they prefer to be called the Founders
thank you
Mojeaux, I think you should start writing your books out by hand.
C’mon–how cool would it be to have a copy of Cods and Cuntes* in that kind of ink?
*yes, I remember.
Yanno, I did used to write by hand. Now I only do it if I’m out and there are napkins available.
Well, let’s get you some of that ink and some napkins!
Bounty? Vanity Fair?
Bounty. It’s actually one thing I insist on buying name brand.
Duly noted.
/you know, you coulda asked for linen napkins…
^metoo (well, paper towels – I don’t buy napkins)
Me three.
So useful – I use them a ton for cooking and during the summer they are sweatrags I carry everywhere
Brawny man here. Bounty screwed with their paper towel widths and they no longer fit on our towel holder securely. We’ve had the select a size a size for a while but the select a square has won me over.
Napkins are only for special occasions like Christmas ones.
I’m not sure what sorcery that is but I’ll have to check it out.
No select-a-size in our house. I don’t rightly care, but, spousal unit does, and my apathy keeps me from pushing back.
Can’t spare a square
Okay, I am sufficiently sleepy. Nighters, Glibbies.

“GALLIANO, La. (AP) — Louisiana authorities are perplexed over why a man left apparent designer bags holding drugs, a gun, cash and a digital scale in a convenience store.”
Yeah, that’s kinda weird.
That’s why they call it dope?
Seriously though, I was once muggled and went to conduct some business at the French Quarter Whitney Bank. While trying to find all the cash money to make my deposit, my wee pouch with pipe and fresh bag of dried flower flopped out of my ruck ontot he banking counter. The wonderfully kind teller swept everything into a large envelope, sealed it, and handed it back with a wink.
Now that’s a Bank Secrecy Act I can admire!
Know Your Customer!
This girl fascinates me.
This one https://youtu.be/gfiqW1WaGbw Time for bunk.
Cool! Thanks! Pleasant dreams!
I must be asleep, I read that as ‘Pheasant Dreams”
Well, whatever you do in the privacy of your own head…
Now I’m wondering how gamebirds were hunted pre-firearms. Was it just bowshot? Or were there some other techniques?
Nets also, I think.
Oh, and falconry.
I should have remembered the falcons.
But I’m only partly awake.
Which girl?
