I’m just sad we lost him before he got a chance to really grow up.

There’s probably a parrot older than that, somewhere.

And there it will stay, until fucking Autumn.

Sorry, the issue is size? Like, “we can’t fit into these clothes so we’re gonna go Jabba the Hut”, all naked and corpulent?

\sigh

Bone apple tea, right?

2 day wfh allowance

So

• staff has to locate nearby
• new applicants must be nearby
• everyone needs a car
• the office doesn’t offset any of this
• but 2 days you get to be home and productive. Woo!

Someone needs to be fired. Pick the guy who talks about ‘organic conversations’, as if water cooler chat and constant interruptions are the true medium for knowledge sharing, or the sexist git who forces Linda to shop for office clothing where Gavin skates with khaki and a polo, and raise the average EQ with a quick meeting.

Fun fact: open-plan layouts have been ruled sexist in the UK.

Soviet Bloc Block Housing

Yep, 35 storeys and 400 units of plain beige whatever.

But you’re missing the value of the modern mixed-use building. They just finished one nearby and it’s insane:

• ground-floor light commercial - a pizza place, a daycare and I think a pet store in there so far
• parking is secure and underground, with a loading bay,
• 2 floors of professional - physios and notaries and some ad-hoc wework space
• 30 floors of apartments
• an entire floor of guest space - airBnB units, essentially - and common play-space.

All these pictures are accurate as I remember from the tour:

The units will look more familiar if you’ve been to Northern Europe, but a bit bigger. We looked at a 1150sqft 3bd unit with huge triple-pane windows and - 2024 building code - A/C built-in. If you don’t count a garage - underground parking - the bigger ones are like small ranchers stacked on one another – in concrete, so you don’t notice you have neighbours.

They’re not Bloc blocks; they put a few of these together and they have a small city.

He would have hurt his own reputation but might have saved the country from the disaster we are in now.

So - back when decorum was a thing - you’d ask him to break the rules, just to prevent something that was caused by voters anyway?

Nope.

The child of your once and future rulers.

Losing snap is an upgrade.

Oooh. I can see that being a favourite in the voting, but not on the field.

Have RUN

Yep. Both sides, right?

Confirmation bias is bias confirmation.

An impeachment vote is a permanent record. Senators want to be recorded on the right side of history.

Now DHS is emailing DoD civvies begging for people to take a 120 day reassignment to the border, with the promise it will just be admin work.

The moment it isn’t, the employee should remember their union membership and act accordingly.

Hcl is hard, yeah.

But I’d work it all day vs fucking yaml. :-D
