I just read a book about Tombstone and the OK Corral that made a point about how lawmen used to be petty criminals who became sheriffs to legitimize their thieving and general scumbaggery.

My reaction was “used to be?”

That's fantastic.

Not sure I share your optimism about nurses as vanguard of the labor movement. The virtue and challenge of organizing caring professions (nursing, teaching, childcare, etc.) is that their workers are very deeply invested in the work, and management takes advantage of that. My wife works in the schools and I can't tell you how many times she has tried to talk a coworker out of not logging their additional work and expenses. If you log it, it fills up the hours of your work week and you won't be able to provide all the services you feel the kids and families you work with need. If you don't log it, management takes it as proof that everything is getting done at the current level of staffing and resources. Creates a vicious cycle where people go above and beyond perpetually, burning themselves out in the process. This dynamic broadly hurts the communities the caring professions are trying to serve by leaving them undermanned, under resourced, and working with people who have become shells of themselves. Then if you complain about it management, politicians, and often the people you serve start bitching about how you don't care about the work and just want to laze about and get rich. As a nurse or school teacher.

I think our best shot is unionizing the computer janitors. They end up with such job specific knowledge. The absence of which can easily cost employers thousands and thousands of dollars. Especially when they withhold their labor at the right moment. All the labor power of the ports from the comfort of a keyboard. I'm hopeful this spat of gaming industry unionization spreads to those industry dependent IT jobs.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.

I have an aunt who is developmentally disabled and lives in Moscow, Idaho (which people not super familiar with Northwest geography, is literally 50 feet from the state border with Washington and 8 miles from Pullman, Washington [go Cougs]). Because of my aunts disability she requires 24/7 nursing. one time while visiting my aunt they had the payment schedule on a notice board for nurses. It took five years of working for that company to make more than the legal minimum wage in Washington. And they wonder why they get brand new nurses who work there for like a year and then take jobs literally 8 miles away?

How to lose an hour of productivity.

Notice that 1 speaker isn't working. Run diagnostics, update drivers, reboot, hook up another device to confirm the speakers work. Google solutions. Google solutions again, google solutions again.

Run useless windows troubleshooting, find speaker configuration, notice that it actually is playing sound, but almost silently. Check balance, confirm all are set to 100%. Watch useless youtube troubleshooting videos. Change balance for the hell of it, instantly fixes the issue.

I don't have a lot of good things to say about Calvin Coolidge as a president other than he has a really funny probably apocryphal tale about not saying words. But....his wife did have a raccoon. That they refused to eat for Thanksgiving and kept as a pet.

e: Just noticed how long the Coolidge list is in that wiki, Grace Coolidge liked her animals. In...particularly not good combinations considering the Bobcat.

Are you using dash attacks? Mixing your casts into your fights? What boons do you put on your attack for what weapons?

For chunky weapons like the sword or spear or bow you want to put +% attacks, but for stuff like the fists or rail you want something like Zeus which adds a flat damage amount to rapid attacks

Once you get to Elysium I find that splash dash is much more useful than divine dash, especially if you add razor shoals

If you have Zeus on your attack try to get the boon that adds a jolted status to enemies

Yeah I’m doing all those in different combinations.

I had the upgraded razor shoals with magnetism or whatever and some speed
/sturdy upgrades and I killed like five of the spear guys in elysium just running back and forth and in circles and just cutting them to loving pieces in a tightening ball. It was rad as hell.

Im still finding my way a bit. I had a lot more luck early on with ranged weapons but I’ve really grooved on the fists and the sword lately. I haven’t really been able to get far with the rail gun.

I’ve got some titan blood and I’m struggling trying to decide which weapon aspect to upgrade, since it’s so hard to come by.

We don't know if he actually wanted to eat it, it was gifted to the Coolidges for the purpose of being Thanksgiving dinner, Calvin didn't walk out and buy a live raccoon with the idea "You know what would be a nice Thanksgiving dinner, raccoon." The fact it became a pet is good evidence he didn't want to eat it

He was gifted her to eat and didn't want to do it, so his wife built a big cage around a tree and carried her around and let her run around in the White House apparently.

There's really a lot going on with how many pets the Coolidges had or had sent to them. There's a pygmy hippo too that apparently ended up as a stud breeding them for a whole lot of circuses and zoos.

Where are you at again? I heard a rumor that Chicago is getting 20" next week, but I don't believe it. It's also too far out to make that kind of prediction. We got like 8" of snow this week over a few different snow falls. A little annoying, but whatever. We might still be below our average snow fall for the winter, but we caught up a lot this week.

Southeast Mass. I'm actually less worried about the snowfall total than I am a power outage. They're saying 30 mph gusts are likely.

And yeah way too far out. I heard we were getting the storm this past Sunday and every day I looked back they'd revised it down 2 inches (from 17) until this morning when it leaped to like 20+
