Hello fellow former Windstreamer! I was part of the mass layoffs in 2015 (I came with PAETEC when they were acquired). Tony Thomas is such a literal piece of human loving garbage and Windstream deserves everything it gets for being just a god awful company in a world full of god awful companies. I feel bad for the employees though, there’s a lot of great, very talented people in the trenches that are continually handicapped by that lovely culture.

It really is a shame. The latest wave of layoffs have hit engineers with 10+ years who were universally knowledgeable and helpful. I've been here for 8 years and it's gotten more brutal year after year. I had to post out of my old department once a year just so my staff manager would see I was threatening to leave just to get a raise.

"I recently took a trip to South Beach and while I was laying on the private coastline with nobody but my 17 assistants and bodyguards and beautiful models I pay to hang around and make me look popular, I thought about how important it is to take responsibility and put in the extra effort. You see, normally my beach butler would be here to feed me grapes and wine, but I let them take one of their sick days to go see their son being born, so I'm really roughing it out here by myself! And if you think about it, our company is a lot like that, sometimes your butler isn't there and you have to pick up the grapes yourself.

In other words, we should all pitch in to 'pick up' the 'grapes' of work on the weekend"

I once shopped for a small digital scale for weighing coins for my collection and in return I got recommendations for small vials and baggies for weeks afterwards.

Kinda late to the job conversation but back here in Europe the fastest, easiest way to get into the job market is to emigrate for a few years to a 2nd world country to get experience in your career choice and then come back on your late 30's

On the radio earlier they had an interview with a guy who wrote a book predicting that instead of earth's population increasing to 10 billion by 2050 the population is actually more likely to shrink heavily, and a bunch of the people who called in to the show while I was listening basically just went "lol good we deserve it"

I'm glad that seems to be a widespread opinion :unsmith:

I got these from a nice woman.

I saw her wave around some kind of PKE meter looking thing for monitoring the field. She’s come around before because we lease a cell tower so I chatted her up on what she was doing and nodded along. The object on the right is an orgonite scalar field device meant to counteract EMF from the cell tower on premises.

Ask not to whom the Anidavatar belongs; it belongs to thee.
There's a similar thing in Australia (and I'm guessing everywhere) about wind farms. Apparently by emitting a sound. The sound is below the range of human hearing. It's also about 40 dB, which is about how loud a quiet room is when there is no other sound sources.

5G specifically uses stuff up in the millimeter wave band for the first time, which seems scary and new until you realize that radar has been using it since like, the 50's

I think AT&T or someone is branding an LTE expansion as "5G+" or something, confusing the issue.

The bigger one (as in the Alex Jones one) is that it's part of the chemtrails plan to "geo-engineer" the planet, which is also why they made up the lie of global warming to give them an excuse to do it, so they make the chemtrails and then 5G deploys HAARP technology all around the world which reacts with the chemtrails to... something something, I've never really been clear on the last part, but i've been assured it's very bad

That's what I mean. It's just another technology making use of a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we've already been using for a loooong time.

I have had arguments with people who think the cell phones are using some special "cell signal" that is not just a regular wave at whatever mhz your region/device uses.

It's just an advanced radio dudes.

Now there certainly are parts of the spectrum that will absolutely do that poo poo. And you pump enough wattage through a transmitter and you will get a loving "sunburn".

But cellphones are what? A quarter of a watt?
