The China episodes were most excellent! They pulled no punches about Disney, the NBA and others sucking up to Xi and the CCP. Then scene of Mickey Mouse confronting Randy Marsh was Emmy material.

My boss is the layer between me and boss-boss whom I… well, I won’t go into that. Let’s just say I want my boss back. There will still be constant interruptions for every little thing but at least my boss will be there to pick up some of it.
I just got a promotion, incidentally – sort of sideways, but I remain an individual contributor.
I was (well, am – it’ll be a couple months) a principal systems engineer, which had me topped-out; sideways move to senior architect, which has at least one level to move to (principal). All of which is good. Plus money and stuff, which is nice.
Downside is I will now have to stop loudly talking about how useless everyone with an ‘architect’ title is. I mean, it’s still true, but I should be quieter about it.
rhywun
on March 30, 2022 at 10:41 pm
Heh.
I might be able to slide into one of those ‘architect’ roles but it’s hard to figure out how those are doled out.
I’ll be the first person to admit I’m not the most ambitious employee on the block but I’m doing reasonably well for my situation so why rock the boat now.
You have my sympathy. My boss is gone in two weeks and unsure about the future. He’s been my manager for a while and things are going to change. First up will probably be a cutback in travel. Then some reassignment of responsibilities.

OK, y’all. I really do need to write up an article on this hydroponics stuff because I am having wild success on a small scale and and am ready to invest more. The beauty of it is only 2nd most to a human female and a lot less maintenance and trouble.
Thanks both! I’ll keep an eye out for them. I have a stack of lid-filled envelopes to be processed this weekend. I’ll notify everybody by email that their lids are received.
I’m still wondering about how best to assemble. I have a cool idea in my head, but it could easily end up looking like a 4th grade art class project when Im done with it.
Seconded, plus a huge shout-out to One True Athena for acting as our proxy for those of us who couldn’t send lids directly for whatever reason (e.g., you have horrible, horrible hand-writing at the best of times and trying to write on a lid with a sharpie just wasn’t working. For example.).

Speaking of which, can’t wait to add unrealized losses to that. Might have to pay it back at some point, but right now I’m sitting on approximately $50-60M in losses according to my own calculations that I just made up. I’m gonna need the IRS to pony up 20% on that and cut me a big fat check. Once it’s realized, we can settle it up. Unfortunately, my estimates are about 60 more years of back to back losses.

Fantastic start to the season – this last race was incredible, with Sainz and Verstappen going back and forth.
Plus, K-Mag just killing it; you’d have to have a heart of stone to not be happy for Haas (not a single point last year).
Great, too, for it to be something other than Mercedes v. Red Bull, at least to start (Merc [and Hamilton] will get their shit together, of that I’m sure).

It’s still early , but I think Ferrari has a legit shot at either championship this year. The three way race for drivers and constructors will be slot of fun. It’s great to see the back and forth battles for position. Yes, also happy to see Haas and KMag doing much better.
I’ve only been to Vegas once, and while I’m not a huge fan of it, I think the Strip circuit looks like it will be a fantastic one. Certainly lots of spots for a good view from hotels and whatnot. That’s looking like it will make my list of things to do in 2023. Look forward to seeing you there if we do!
slumbrew
on March 30, 2022 at 11:18 pm
Ferrari starting incredibly strong – I hope they keep it up. Good to have another constructor in the mix.
It’s kind of a weird circuit, TBH. All of 12 “corners” and a few of them (e.g., 10) can barely be called that. But a 2k straight down The Strip will be bananas.
Yeah it’s gonna be a balls out course, very high speed and low downforce setup. One of the reasons I have grown to like the sport so much is the differences from race to race and how the teams adapt to each circuit, especially ones that are new. I was toying with the idea to see the Mexico City GP this year, but will def pull the trigger on one of the three next year. Vegas is now a top contender.

A high & tight or a mighty-fine would have saved his life. Also, when I was at Bliss going through AIT they had one of the first Hind-D choppers captured by the Afghanis; we got loaded into cattle-cars and taken to see it a few times. It was quite impressive to this 17 year old beach kid.

“We did not simulate the study. This was a real hangout, a real social event,” study co-author S. Katherine Hammond said. “The smoking lasted 1 1/2 to two hours, but we measured air concentrations before and after.”

I was told the story of Grampa Tres (mom’s Dad) and his elder brother sometime in the 1920’s when both were teens. They wanted to see NYC, no doubt having been influenced by all them “moving pictures” on the big screen. So, over summer break from school, they stole a car here in SW Ohio. Drove it to NYC where they found jobs. And essentially they worked all summer, partied, and did reckless stuff. Once August rolled around, they stole a car in NYC and drove home and went back to school. That Grandpa was based as fuck. A WWII vet, he fought in N. Africa and Europe. He missed going to the South Pacific because he had a furlough to come here for a week when my Mom was born- the ship he was supposed to be on got torpedo’d and all his unit died. A drunken lunatic his whole life that could barely keep a job, he had the best stories.

Nope. We’re still strapped-down. Rumpke woke me up when I heard the sound of my perpetually-embarrassing recycle being emptied. It sounds like a bar’s dumpster.
Beer in hand, I groggily walked out to bring it up the driveway and noticed nearly everyone’s bins had been blown over.
Mornin’, reprobates. WTF is a melatonin hangover, Tres?
Its when you drink an 18-pack, get into an argument with Jugsy over “The Matrix is NOT boring and stupid!” and decide to shut-down for 12 hours with 10 mg of sleepy.
And it seems we lost power here at the Palatial 2-Wide™ at some point overnight. My desktop was off and some clocks were angrily blinking at me.
What about the rest of us?
You’re guilty by association. Sometimes correlation can be causation.
So what you’re saying is you don’t want to be associated with me anymore?

You too, UCS. What is your preferred
pronounsobriquet?I don’t have one, so long as it’s accurate.
If he’s not a reprobate, maybe he’s just a preprobate.
He’s cooler than that. He’s a “retroprobate”.
Sorry for the early nut-punch, but this is truly tragic. Condolences, Tres.

I’ve never even heard of that product.
That might come in handy out on the back porch on a summer evening.
I picture a small army of hillbillies setting off with wheel barrels in hand.
LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE!
Nice work! That punchline really drew the skeins. Good job!

“We did not simulate the study. This was a real hangout, a real social event,” study co-author S. Katherine Hammond said. “The smoking lasted 1 1/2 to two hours, but we measured air concentrations before and after.”
Not sure I trust their measurements. Science demands that this study be replicated. With paid volunteers.

Extra crunchy.

LOL

Fuck. That show hit it out of the park for about five years.
Shit. Meant as a response to the Simpsons clip above. I’m drunk, as per usual.
Nothing wrong with some extra iron in your diet.
Roto-Rooter, That’s the name!

The Kid got home from Vancouver Island last night. Wonder how much penance he we will be subject to or even how much he will bear. I’m his Grandpa. I thought it was amusing.
I was told the story of Grampa Tres (mom’s Dad) and his elder brother sometime in the 1920’s when both were teens. They wanted to see NYC, no doubt having been influenced by all them “moving pictures” on the big screen. So, over summer break from school, they stole a car here in SW Ohio. Drove it to NYC where they found jobs. And essentially they worked all summer, partied, and did reckless stuff. Once August rolled around, they stole a car in NYC and drove home and went back to school. That Grandpa was based as fuck. A WWII vet, he fought in N. Africa and Europe. He missed going to the South Pacific because he had a furlough to come here for a week when my Mom was born- the ship he was supposed to be on got torpedo’d and all his unit died. A drunken lunatic his whole life that could barely keep a job, he had the best stories.
Your Grandpa was the the twin Brother of mine? Crazy stories abound!
I should edify. Grandpa never talked much about his hijinx to his Grandkids but after he died the truth started trickling out. Many saucy stories.
My Dad was the same way. Little wonder that he held me in such low esteem. Those dudes lived.
The older brother was named “Estol” which I think is one of the coolest names ever.
It’s almost impossible to make fun of that name and I’d wager that you wouldn’t want to start trying.
