Man I just out two and two together. FlyingSquid was probably referencing how no one died in the “raid” and seathru was probably referencing how a bunch of spies and other sensitive personnel mysteriously disappeared or were killed after Trump had that meeting with Putin and then asked for….spies and sensitive personnel info shortly thereafter.
Yeah our CIO started talking bringing cubes back. My manager, his manner and our director are pretty opposed to this. We do well remote and there are things we literally couldn’t do in the office. We’re in once a week-ish if it works out and if this forced our director would have to move back from multiple states over…. I don’t think they’ll make that move back if pressed and one co-worker expressed “fire me” sentiment if it comes.
Yeah there’s a couple of Meijer’s with huge Tesla superchargers lots, which will be nice if my id.4 gets access this or next year, but with Musk killing off that team, will it happen?
Right now I have 1 L3 (blink) charging area within 5 miles of me, another (evgo) about 10-15 miles away, and then one more EvGo about 20 miles away. Apparently there are two under construction closer to me but they’re been that way for months on plugshare. There is an EA station if I go further and get on the turnpike.
Thankfully I can L1 charging can take of most of my needs until I can afford to install a L2 EVSE probably with next year’s tax refund.
I love the idea of a Steam Deck or the other portable pcs like it, but man I think it would just sit lol. The techie in me just wants it to have. Same with a VR headset. I’d play beatsaber for a bit and it would be dusty.
Among AARP survey findings: 61% of Americans 50 and up are worried they won’t have enough money for retirement. And only 21 percent of people have a retirement plan....
Oh so does mine. It wants me to have like $450k in there by 45. I have $15k. Only like 125% of my pay for the next 5 years to make it! Forget the bills or eating. RIP
I have to wonder if my generation [Millenial] had any effect on university enrollments yet. My kids aren’t quite the age to talk about education plans as I had kiddos later in life @30yo (40 now). I’ll be strongly discouraging uni unless it’s completely unavoidable to what they want to do.
Yeah I’d definitely rather have them go to one of the community colleges or maybe a more technical school depending on what they want to do. I just want to prevent them from having to live with what might be debt I deal with for the rest of my life. No big University unless they manage a full ride or something, lol. Mean from my mistakes.
Yeah crossing my fingers there’s some fixes in the works along side any debt forgiveness, but with this political environment and some folks attitude of “F you, I got mine “, I’m doubtful.
I’ve joked with my wife about sending the kids to Germany as IIRC they have a really good system that is friendly to international students there. But this is me trying to remember stuff from 15-20 years ago lol
Yeah…I agree. I will say I hope I can at least mitigate the debt issue as much as I can because I won’t be able to help pay, and I’m sure by the time my oldest is ready I’ll make too much for him to qualify for much aid. Maybe community college first or a trade school depending on what their interested in.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that were true. My coworker and I both got a certification last year. I received a promotion shortly after that, but he didn’t get his until much later. He was thinking it might have to do with me having a bachelor’s while he only has an associates degree. I hope that wasn’t it, but I wouldn’t be surprised. Some corpo stooge having to be convinced the technically senior co-worker with tons of tribal knowledge is fit for a step-up promo….sheesh.
Are you me? Though i don’t necessarily blame my parents, they just thought that they were encouraging me to do the right thing for my future. I can’t say that my degree was entirely useless but I’d like to think i could have gotten to spot similar to where i am now without the 100k in student loans.
Handing in your proverbial badge as a sexagenarian has been the goal for many workers around the world: turning 65 would open a golden portal to retirement.

I’ve got A Silent Voice on my watchlist, so I can’t comment on that, but A Sign of Affection was one of my feel good animes this season and looked forward to it every week.
My cousin and I have run into having to clear the cmos using the jumper in a couple of our builds before it would boot the first time too. Not sure why.
He is, just stalling out the bloody car as its only pressed halfway in, rendering it effectively like a brake pedal but there might be some coasting. Maybe. If we’re on an incline.
Edit: nvm, paywall. Got 2 sentences in so I’m going with yes, my comment is valid lol
Edit, edit: I’m thinking centrists are the clutch, not necessarily him, unless he’s a centrist. Then also yes. Again. I think. I just woke up from a nap. Might be confused.

And at the opposite side of the spectrum we haaave……ah yes, arresting women for miscarrying [Oklahoma], enacting laws to force women [and children] to flee their home states [e.g. Ohio and Texas] to get medical care they need, while also attempting to criminalize them for crossing state lines to get said medical care [Texas, Idaho, Missouri IIRC], which would be unconstitutional, but would likely take time to fight in the courts.
If he had the Senate AND House on his side and wasn’t able to get it done, I can see the criticism, but you know right now if it passed the Senate its going no where with MJ as House leader at the very least. Unless there is some magical executive power that the Supreme Court won’t shut down a la Roe vs Wade.
