The reason people eat so much poo poo there is it's an off ramp off the interstate that suddenly tunnels right at a rather quick turn. People have so much speed not knowing there's a stop light and just eat poo poo lol

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

Similar to that, on I-90 in Cleveland, they have a Dead man’s curve where you have to slow down to like 40 because of a sharp turn on the highway. Easy place to wipe out if you don’t pay attention to the 20 flashing signs as you approach.

Just saw the new Dr. Strange. Pretty good, but unfortunately it’s a not Marvel movie that requires you to be up on practically their entire catalog over the last few years to know what’s going on. Still fun, and there’s a lot of good cameos.

The best apologies are crafted with love.
My partner and I went out after I got off work today and got home about a half hour ago and I feel a little guilty since the cats where super excited to see me and also very upset that they hadn't gotten their wet food dinner. She took this week off and neither one of us thought to feed them before she left around 4:30 to come get me at 5.

I also might be making a same day trip from Seattle to Chattanooga since it's the closest airport to where the child I'm going with needs to be in Georgia next week and I am not looking forward to it.

Moved this fat bitches bed out of the kids room and she’s elated. She’s good with them but her greyhound side makes her neurotic when they’re around. Guess she’s happy cause I moved it and she’s burrowed in and refuses to come to the couch and cuddle


The sausage earlier


Also she made a friend today, a 130 pound pure bred English Lab named Winston. Dwarfed her 80lb rear end in every sense, funny seeing his older lady owner trying to drag him away on their walk

She really is, wish I hunted cause she’s perfect for it. She likes to go cat (Labrador) mode and hunker down when she sees prey (people walking their dogs) then once they are far enough she sprints full Grayhound speed making zero noise until she reaches the fence so she can scare the poo poo out of them.

Our little Maltipoo does this as well with bugs (she's caught a bunch), birds (she caught one once then dropped it because all parties involved were shocked, including her) and squirrels (no chance in hell at catching one)

Twitter bought Scroll, which was a product I liked and enjoyed, and put it behind their Twitter Blue or whatever it’s called and I disavowed it forever. Dude is betting hard on the fact that people are as addicted to the self harm of being on the hellsite as he is and I’m not sure that’s a bet he wins.

Weird question: if you work an office job and start work at 9:00, is the expectation that you clock out at 5:00? Or are you expected to take an hour of lunch doesn't count towards your daily eight hour tally and end at 6:00 instead?

That’s me. In at 6:30, out at 5:00, 30 minute lunch that doesn’t count towards the daily ten hours (4 10s).

I said this exact same thing 8 years ago when I claimed we were buying at the top of market and there is no way houses could get any more expensive and my wife still brings it up as an example of me being profoundly wrong, after our house has appreciated over 2 fold in those 8 years. There has to be a limit, where a household of two techworkers making 500k a year might decide that there can be better uses of their money than paying 3m for a 2 bed 1 bath, but who knows with investors also limiting the market. It might just hold steady vs going down. Maybe laws prohibiting investor groups buying houses and forcing a sell off would help bring houses down some, no idea how many are actually investor owned.

I have lived in 8 different places, none of them more than a few miles from the California coast or SF bay. 6 around the bay area a few miles apart, 2 different places in college further down the coast.

Yeah "it has to stop eventually" and actually calling the top when it happens are two different things. As they say, economists have predicted 14 out of the last 3 recessions, etc. I would not have called the top in 2014, but it's understandable given how rapid prices were rising from 2010 to 2014 to have thought so. I'm also an SF goon, this area market is absurd, and it's not just programmers making that kind of money around here, we have a lot of biotech, finance (BofA, Wells Fargo, etc), Chevron has a big presence here, and the tourist industry is looking to recover this year too. Plus California is uniquely hosed because of prop 13, which heavily disincentivizes selling your house for any reason and is generationally-inheritable (and also applies to commercial real estate!).

It'd be difficult to entirely prevent investors from speculating on houses, and of course anything that promised to lower housing prices is a direct attack on the house-owning class who would see their net worth dissolve. For a ton of boomers, the value in their houses is the insurance against horrifically spiraling health care costs - my parents are a perfect example - so they're not going to vote against their interests and support any legislation that threatens to make existing houses go down in value.

Some folks hope that once the boomers are gone that changes, but no, their kids and grandkids will inherit those houses and the situation will persist. From a political viability perspective, prop 13 probably can't be got rid of without some kind of very long ramp-down grandfather (lol) clause that guarantees people currently clinging to their tiny tax bills on houses worth a million dollars won't be affected for the next 50 years or something like that.

For the rest of the country, though, there's some hope that the inevitable eventual recession, ongoing home construction boom, etc. could force housing prices to plateau and maybe even contract a bit. On the other hand, perhaps the inevitable inundation of the coasts by rising sea levels will remove more housing stock than builders can replace, and we're all doomed. :shrug: nobody can really have any certainty about it.

A paywall of some kind would actually do a ton to get rid of bots, but it's also directly counter to Musk's stated intentions to make Twitter a pure free speech platform, so that's ironic darkly funny

Yeah, lunch usually doesn’t count. I’ve had jobs that were 9AM to 5:30PM where I had a 30 minute lunch, my current job is 8AM to 5PM and I get an hour for lunch.

Right, I meant "clock out" in an informal way but my normal working hours are 9:00–5:00 and I just count my half hour lunch as part of my normal 8 hours. There are often weeks where I'm putting in 60 hours, but I guess in a "normal" week I'm really more like 37.5.

It's been like that the past couple places I've worked but I might be starting something new soon and realized that might not be the assumed practice, heh.

I take a "working lunch" so I don't count it. Good and bad because sometimes I do not get to enjoy it peacefully.

Any good capitalist should be trying to extract maximum value out of the least amount of work. Working 9-5 but still taking an hour lunch is the Patriotic thing to do :fsmug:
