If they really want me to install a heat pump, please go knock some heads at PG&E. 30 cents per KWh makes it really hard.

The real problem is that these people live in a world of fantasy and prep for the zombie apocalypse. It's this quasi sexual thing where they get a hard on for shooting everyone that moves, without guilt of any kind.

The problem with their approach is that the zombie apocalypse won't happen and the people with guns are likely to be the ones starting the problem when things go slightly bad.

BTW, I have lived through natural catastrophes where we got isolated and without power for many days. Curiously, neighbors got together and helped each other. No rapists or crazy marauders. Sadly, everybody went back to their natural state of isolation once the crisis was averted.

Probably better than at&t in the middle of the city.

I was looking at my Goodreads account and I've read around 300+ sci-fi books. There are TONS of stories that could be awesomely adapted to TV. Why do they insist on rehashing the same old shit?

Cat. Pupils are slitted.

Phew. For a second there I thought the book would be about Bluetooth in Linux.

I had a really insecure young manager who was almost half my age. Guy was a chickenshit. One day, while he was out, we reorganized our desks so that we'd not have our backs to the hallway. Instead, we turned our desks 180 degrees so that our backs were to the wall. He came around and said "well, this layout is not in accordance with the open office rules". I paused for a second, looked at him and replied "Oh really? No shit! How cute..." And proceeded to ignore him solemnly.

He didn't do shit. Was eventually let go for complete incompetence and negative reviews from every single one of his employees.

It's hard for Republicans to think of Trump as old and senile when all they see are images of Trump's head photoshopped on Rambo's body.

It's almost midnight. You just got out of your job, a restaurant in a somewhat seedy location in old downtown. You leave through the backdoor into an alley and suddenly notice you're not alone. The metal door just closed shut behind you.

You look to your right. There's a guy with a knife. He's looking at you and smiling in a weird manner. He starts walking towards you menacingly.

You look to your left. There's a well known old drunk there. He smells bad and likes to hug people who are passing by. If you go that way, you will be hugged by him.

What do you do?

If you go right, you'll get stabbed and killed. If you do nothing and stay put, you'll get stabbed and killed. If you go left, you will be hugged by the stinky guy. It's disgusting and not ideal, but you'll not be stabbed and survive.

What do you choose?

I see people all the time with the dumbest arguments to not vote. "He's not progressive enough", or "he's part of the system", or even "he didn't do enough for X" (insert your favorite minority here).

It's all true. But the universe is not a perfect or ideal place. Not voting for the imperfect guy gets us a true horrible alternative. It's a choice between bad and awful.

Please vote bad and keep the awful away.

During the pandemic, when we were all forced to work from home, one of my coworkers would incessantly bitch and moan about how he missed being back at the office.

He is the kind of person who pulls all sorts of bullshit out of his ass and starts treating it as if it's true. At some point he started going around saying that "productivity when WFH is ok but everybody is complaining that they can't make plans for future projects without face to face time". When our director got curious and asked him where he had heard about this, he changed the topic.

Basically this is a person who doesn't want to do anything and makes a career out of going around and pretending to be working and calling meetings when they're not needed. For this kind of person, WFH is deadly as it clearly shows that their "skills" are not needed for the company's success.

They obviously never learned the three things in life you don't fuck with:

• Mother Nature
• Mother-in-laws
• Motherfucking Ukrainians
