Nobody gonna turn down a day off

I can’t wait for the 48 Hours episode about this

When I woke up to see the news about the unprovoked assault on Iran, I was sick to my stomach. It’s senseless and my heart goes out to Iranian people that, like me, just want to go about their lives. When I saw gas prices hitting $3.49, I did not feel pity for myself. Instead I thought, good. This will hurt the idiots who support Trump. They are the narcissists that only care about themselves and when they feel pain I am happy

TIL: NFT’s are/were the modern equipment of beanie babies

My first experiences with computers started when I was in Junior High around '79. It was a total nerd hobby, almost "underground ". Now I see it for what it is. Gadgets become necessities and we become enslaved to them. We have to stop chasing our tails

Yes. Hopefully everything is cut to size. Cutting metal siding and roofing sucks if you don’t have the right tools. Rent them if you need. Best to build this on a concrete slab. The ground will be too uneven, throwing everything off plumb

Speak English Or Die by Stormtroopers of Death. Whipped up in a week and recorded using Anthrax’s leftover studio time, this album bridged hardcore and metal. Metallica and Slayer were already popular with some punks but SEOD didn’t take itself seriously and had a DIY vibe

When listening to Bad Moon Rising, instead of “there’s a bad moon on the rise” I hear “there’s the bathroom on the right”

To be fair it’s tough to be proficient in a language you don’t get to use. In some places in the US, there’s plenty of Spanish speaking people. Other than that not so much.

Leading up to the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump urged his voters to vote in person while Democrats promoted voting by mail due to Covid pandemic. Steve Bannon was secretly recorded saying that this was the Trump Campaign’s plan to falsely claim the election was stolen. Steve Bannon does not deny saying this. By law, votes can’t be tallied until polls close. Mail in ballots take longer to process because envelopes have to be opened, info needs to be verified then the vote can be counted. In person ballot results are faster because verification has already taken place and in many places ballots are scanned waiting to counted by a machine. Of course this is how it went down.

So to answer your question, Republican voters have a distrust for mail in voting. Largely because a president of the United States told his supporters to vote in person. During a pandemic.

First they came for the Socialists…

It must be an election year. Here comes the “both sides” posts

Yes. Also there’s a belief among some in sales that by giving something (even something small) to a person, that person will feel like they owe you. BTW not saying I believe this but I’ve heard it a few times from folks in sales.

I have your nightmare job! Boiler water treatment

I just watched it! Or at least one like it, pretty sure there’s more than one. He did it in a month while it usually took 8 months. He was paid $200,000

The Democratic Party needs to learn from the GOP and build a"farm team"

Making everyone unhappy is the point

No

I make a list of the things I need, organized by the places I need to stop and buy them and a list of the things I need to do
