Microsoft’s most recent update to Exchange broke everyone’s on-prem email servers at roughly midnight GMT because a line of code couldn’t translate the new year  IT is great if you don’t believe in things like holidays, weekends, etc.

It’s always weird to me that people opt for home birth when it seems like birth before it was an option was basically a coin flip for the mom, the baby, or both dying.

Blowjob Overtime posted:Also I am squarely on the side of the southerners every time this comes up, because why the hell would you have our multi-million dollar snow removal infrastructure for the one storm that hits every year. Yeah I laugh but it’s not unreasonable to not have that sort of investment for a rare event, but i don’t understand why every time it happens the same lesson has to be learned. Just cut your losses, shut things down, and let your people stay home. I’m also from NC and dealt with that same scenario many times so it’s not coming from a place of “lol South dumb” Aaaaaaarrrrrggggg posted:I sure hope the follow-up question was how big his bonus would be... I wish I were privy to more info, but alas. To be a fly on the wall of that meeting…

15 bucks/test for the rapid tests in the US has been close to the norm all along, sadly. I paid 150 bucks for 7 boxes of two each to take with us for Christmas. I still get unreasonably angry thinking about Psaki’s churlish “what do you want us to do, send a test to every American?” response. Y… yes?

Dango Bango posted:It's crazy how many more people I know have been affected this time around compared to even 2020 (pre-vaccine). I'm at my second close contact in three weeks now. Cases are absolutely off the charts right now. In CO we’ve blown past the max cases per day during last winter‘s surge by like 70 percent. The good news is that if we take South Africa as a bellwether we’ll have another few weeks of bad cases and then it’ll tumble back down. They also didn’t report an appreciable increase in deaths, so fingers crossed that that bears out here.

I despise DeSantis as much as the next guy but all of the breathless (heh) speculation and zaprudering his appearances is kinda pathetic. Maybe he’ll keel over from COVID but he’s probably gonna be fine and disappoint a lot of people hoping for a touch of schadenfreude.

Braksgirl posted:I didn't think they were that hard to make. Just be sure to let the cookies dry out a bit before you bake them. I agree. I think the idea that they’re difficult to make comes from people who want to make them perfect with the good looking foot and everything. If you’re fine with them not looking like the 4-dollar cookies you buy at a bakery or whatever they’re easy enough.

I remember when the bottom fell out on all the ‘X’ Hero games and you could get full bundles for like 20 bucks. The coupons forum helped me get the Beatles Rock Band and DJ Hero for something like 60 dollars.

It’s amazing how bad people are at distinguishing gunfire from other loud bangs. I mean I guess it’s good that most people don’t experience it enough to have a strong idea of what it sounds like, but still lmao

LeeMajors posted:I'm perpetually at a loss. Look, we clapped and banged pots for you guys for like 4 months, what more can you want? But seriously, my SO and her colleagues are all on the verge of breakdown because of the last 2 years. They gave up a year of training to work COVID wards instead, and now that they’re back to it they’re seeing like 2.5 times the number of patients than they would normally see because of all of the people who (reasonably) deferred care because there was a pandemic on. On top of that, there’s the constant threat of being called upon to work COVID cases again because people just have to go out and lick light poles or whatever while unvaccinated. But the dean of medicine or whatever said thanks once and I think she got 50% off at the North Face so I guess everything is all even!!

LeeMajors posted:You know, I don’t want much but we haven’t been extended any emergency leave after 1/1/21 and they haven’t suspended any of the ridiculous punitive call-out policies wherein we are punished for using our sick leave ‘excessively’ to get tests or whatever. Also we aren’t regularly tested at work. It’s really unconscionable. I don’t know how people who were considering going into healthcare before the pandemic can remotely want to do it now. My SO used to be so enthusiastic and now the only reason she’s not calling it quits is because of the decade+ that she has invested in it now.

LeeMajors posted:I just wish I could get the old American Apparel triblend track shirts from like 10-12 years ago still. The newer ones aren't nearly as good, and I still have 4 or 5 from way back that are hanging tough. No labels, fit great...best shirts I've ever owned. Gildan bought AA when it went bankrupt and promptly ruined what made them good, but the AA guy started a new company after being forced out called Los Angeles Apparel that supposedly uses the same fabric and cuts as AA. Dov’s probably still a sleaze though so I guess consult your own moral compass before patronizing his company.

Samadhi posted:Chewy bacon is superior bacon. I prefer my bacon to have a little chew to it if I’m eating it alone, but on a sandwich? It needs to be crispy enough that it breaks cleanly with every bit so you don’t end up pulling out whole strips of it with you teeth.

Samadhi posted:I watched the most recent episode of The Book of Boba Fett, and it seems like they really pushed this out the door too quickly. The biker chase scene was really cheap looking and not engaging at all. The fight scene with the wookie made no sense, and the rancor subplot seems rushed and tacked on. I really wish they did a better job on this show, but it's like a discount Mandalorian. The flashbacks are much more interesting than the present day political intrigue stuff, imo
