Hochul signs extremely mild gerrymander into law.
ThreePi replied to Jason's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
Cool. Now do Illinois and California. -
Remember when Utah's governor asked people to pray for rain? What happened after a governor asked his state to pray for rain WWW.DESERET.COM Utah Gov. Spencer Cox posted a series of tweets in response to comments about his call to pray for rain, starting by writing that Utah — along with most of the West — “is experiencing its worst drought since 1956.”

I should also add, that while my current direct manager is on-board with RTO (my real direct manager is on leave for like 6 weeks because of major surgery), he's also made it very clear that if you need to stay home for a specific reason (weather, kids, etc), just stay home for the day. So there is still some flexibility there.

I totally agree that screen sharing is better than projecting or connecting to a TV for technical stuff. It's easier to focus on smaller details on a laptop/PC monitor than it is staring at something on the wall across a room. I find in-person meetings better for more of the "brainstorming" kind of discussions. I feel it's easier to bounce ideas off of a group that way.

Right now I go into the office every other Monday but that changes to three days a week in mid-March. I don't think 100% WFH is a great idea, but I also am dreading three days a week. But a big issue for us is that the reasoning behind RTO was same old story of increasing collaboration, which is bunk because this only applies to FTEs and not contractors and a huge, huge chunk of our workforce is contractors. And part of the reason contractors weren't includes is because we simply do not have the office space to accommodate everyone. Plus, a lot of people that were hired in the past year or two that were intentionally hired to remote positions still get to keep their current WFH setup (which conveniently includes a fair amount of upper management).

General Gaming Without saying your age...
ThreePi replied to CastletonSnob's topic in The Spawn Point
I got a GameCube/Rogue Leader on launch. I don't know if I paid new enough about release dates to get any other game day one before that. -
Yeah, initially I think its going to be a mess. But I don't think it'll mature enough to strongly influence this election. It seems easy enough to spot that anyone trying any funny business will get called out right away. Going into the future I think it'll just be like how no one trusts Google searches anymore because its predominantly slop that's been SEO'd to hell.

Are we? Perhaps this just leads to a scenario where the media/internet is so flooded with cheap AI generated nonsense that people will start to inherently distrust anything on social media and bring about a return of reputable human-curated content. On a small scale, looking at stuff like the Wirecutter being one of the few bastions of seemingly honest consumer product reviews.

The problem is always that the burden of proof for Dems is way higher than Republicans. If Dem states don't certify a Trump win on the basis of him assisting Jan 6th, then you just need a Wisconsin/Georgia/etc to not certify Biden on some bullshit about "insurrection at the border" or some shit. It'll come down to state legiatures and the gerrymandering therein.

Honest question of where these jobs are coming from when the tech sector seems to be on a killing spree regarding jobs. -

I do remember the Olestra chips in the 90s. I remember seeing a big display of them at K-Mart. Don't know if I ever actually at one. -

This is a very weird story for @Jason and @Commissar SFLUFAN to independently post at roughly the same time. -

It's been a few days, hitting temps in the teens during the day but still around 0 overnight. But she was able to get the pipes thawed and no apparent leaking. So, dodged a bullet there. Should be back above freezing next week. -

Sub zero temps here in Chicagoland. My girlfriend's hot water pipes to her upstairs bathroom froze. This happened last year for her and her landlord put in new insulation, but it clearly hasn't helped. So she's got no way to take a hot shower at home and when it warms up a bit on Wednesday there's a fear that the pipes will thaw and start leaking if they burst. -
There needs to be some Purdue/Sackler-like turning points for the consumer truck market segment.

I never actually followed NIU sports. Went to I think two games in those 4 years. Fun to see them doing well, I suppose.- 243 replies
