it's even worse when "grab me another one" means committing to a fuckin 8.3% ballkicker IPA too. Coors light is one thing, Stone Nuts Roman Hoplite Apocalypse Ale is another

A lot of IT folks have internalized the whole "ugh, I'm salary and trapped in a well, time to drink my problems away" notion as a good and normal thing.

As in, you're being successful in your field if you drink yourself to death to cope with said job. It's bizarre.

I get poo poo from contemporaries because my idea of drinking is having a single high ABV beverage and then stopping. This race to the bottom drunkard IT poo poo is just that.

dumb as this sounds

if you're in the US and want to try lots of different German sausages, go to Aldi

You can get Nurnberg brats in addition to 4-5 other regional styles and Aldi's sausage is cock and balls above other grocery stores for quality. They've never disappointed me.

Twice or so a year they do a german food sale where they roll out the different regional styles of bratwurst and I always make sure to buy up a few packages of each style for the freezer.

uh, they did it all the time on mad men, and I'm just like those guys. Got my high paying job, I get to drink at that job, not like those stuffy corporate job havers, my job and friends (who all exclusively also work where I work) are awesome and cool and all my turd slinging friends back in <state that voted for trump> can eat my poo poo!

Gotta get back to work though, we're hoping to push out the newest release on thanksgiving day so people will talk about the awesome new changes we're making around the turkey. Our boss is actually bringing in turkey for us, how cool is that? He also says our runway is running a little short so this change is really important and that our next paycheck should square us away on him being short with the last one! When we get bought out by Facebook I'm going to be so rich!

did I mention we have free snacks and a sleep room with one of those $45,000 sleep pods? One dude doesn't even pay rent, he just sleeps here and then sneaks in to the other office on the floor to sleep there, he's cool.

d'uh. its like 'oh poo poo dude, check out this dope laptop and cellphone my company pays for' **answers emails at 3am cause they think they're marissa meyer and yells at their kids in the morning cause they're lacking sleep**

what you wanna do is find an old company that's trying to compete by giving shuttles and poo poo to be hip. cause everyone rolls in at 10am (they started working when they got on that shuttle at 9) and they all leave at 4 (cause they'll work on the shuttle until 5).

On Monday, President-elect Trump named two advisers to his tech policy transition team. One of those experts, director of the Public Utility Research Center at the University of Florida Mark Jamison, wrote a blog entry last month explaining his position on the FCC -- namely, that the country could do without it. In his opinion, the nation should almost completely dissolve the antiquated agency and farm out many of its regulatory duties to the FTC and local officials because the telecom industry is competitive enough to require far less oversight.

"Most of the original motivations for having an FCC have gone away. Telecommunications network providers and ISPs are rarely, if ever, monopolies," he said in the post.

Given that assumption, In Jamison's opinion, a whole agency devoted to regulating internet providers is overkill. Instead, the FTC and state authorities would handle anticompetitive conduct. Internet content competes well enough with broadcast television, so the latter don't need regulation either. The only thing left for the FCC to handle is doling out radio frequencies, which could be done by a smaller independent agency that won't change its priorities to sync with new Congressional members, presidents or commissioners.
