Hope the pup comes out doing great Rinaldo. Thats one of the worst feelings.


Also, I know I'm getting old because I've started enjoying just a caeser salad for lunch to the point where now I just buy the pre made one at Costco and that's 2 days lunch for me. Add some Cajun shrimp too for an even more satisfying result.

I have been eating a lot of Caesar salads too, started off with the Trader Joe’s kits and now I have my own cans of anchovies and block of parm

We are getting into the worst part of the year for me when it has been cold and dark for a couple of months, and watching March roll back around with no real idea when I might be able to start leaving the house and interacting with people normally is just an extra twist of the knife. I really need to change something up and start working out or focusing on some productive time outside of doing WFH, or it is going to be a rough ride until spring.

I have ate four (sausage w/ egg, ham mcmuffin, bacon biscuit, sausage no egg) and hash browns. I'm going to have a bad time later as I usually am fine just eating one.

Steeeeriiiiiiiiike twooooooo!

Salads for lunch is really a good idea. We had a salad bar in the cafeteria that was great for a relatively cheap, healthy lunch, but that's not really an option right now.

Also my productivity has now been sidelined by a coworker being too young to know what afk means.

e: My guts tense up in anxiety before and during the procedure, and my relieved eating is usually after the vet visit is done. I'm impressed by the stress eating of four McD's breakfast sandwiches.

Congrats to her, but can't you still transmit the virus even with the vaccine?

Obviously it's much tougher to get the virus. Just a question we're grappling with since my parents are likely to get the vaccine soon

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

So let's see if I can name them all:

Netflix
Disney+
Hulu
HBO Max
Paramount/CBS All Access
Peacock
ESPN+ if you want to count that

Is Fox the only one of the big networks to not have their own streaming service? I'm assuming ABC shows end up on Disney+. I guess most Fox stuff is on Hulu, I know Hulu has FX at least.

They didn’t explicitly study whether or not someone with the vaccine can spread the virus, and I’m not sure offhand how one could reasonably control for that in a clinical trial - it would have to be after the fact with contact tracing, and gathering enough data to be statistically significant would take forever considering how the rollout is going. Chances are that it will provide that protection, but to be on the safe side (and to prevent anti-mask assholes from claiming they got the shot already) they’re asking that people with the vaccine still take the same precautions they already are.

e: right after I hit post I found this article from the NYT stating that they’re testing people who have had the shot for antibodies after the fact and it seems promising that it would at least limit how contagious it is.

ha, ha, ha, og me ekam
My company just announced they're outsourcing IT hosting, server engineering, virtualization, database engineering, and middleware services to the same company they outsourced development to 7 years ago.

That outsourcing would have been a complete failure if not for the Infrastructure teams fixing all their poo poo. The Infrastructure teams they just sent home.

They're pulling the excuse of modernizing our tech stack and saying "We're doing this to get us into a better position because we couldn't do it ourselves", even though they never gave us the opportunity. In an earlier meeting where this was suggested, I asked about that and I was told management came to my boss saying my question was disrespectful. Apparently saying literally "How do you reconcile the work done to get everyone working from home by these teams with not giving them the chance to take on this challenge, then saying we aren't capable of it? " is disrespectful.

Sorry for venting, I went through the same process 7 years back and the lack of any conscience firing a few hundred people during a loving pandemic is driving me up the wall.

I’m sorry to hear this, it’s immensely frustrating. I hate the sort of person who only sees “it costs us X to have these people on staff, but X-Y to outsource it” without consideration of the hidden costs. I used to work at an MSP and even though we obviously tried to take care of everyone as well as we could, there was no way we could handle everything as quickly or as efficiently as an internal IT team and that left people twisting in the wind way too often. Unfortunately the people who make these calls are always prioritized in the queue so they’re never going to see the decline in service and will pay themselves on the back about saving the company money. It’s a poo poo situation and I feel for you.

Going back to this I don't think we know for sure? I mean we didn't last month, but that's forever ago I guess. I'm curious about the British mutation and if that means we should change the rules about close contacts to being less time than they currently are or not, which is another thing I don't think we know? I feel like I'm paying so much attention and also paying zero attention because of everything else going on.

Anyway, got news that my mom who has been locked away since the beginning and wants nothing more than to slowly linger in a grocery store looking for deals for 3 hours should be getting a call for her first shot soon, which is not the end for her but is nice.
