Good on them for getign rid of the scumbag.
How cluelessly idiotic can you get? Or has he just spent his life that insulated from any sort of critical thought and opposition entirely?
Yes.
And maybe I'm being needlessly unkind, but my immediate impression on the photo was that text post describing someone as "you can tell his inner monologue is just the noise a microwave makes."

This really demonstrates just how ensiloed our company is.
New Feature A breaks old Feature B, so we warn all our customers that Feature B is now obsolete because Feature A is a significant improvement (and it is).
No big deal. Such things happen over the lifetime of a product.
Except...
...I was asked to write training on Feature C. It wasn't working. I got in touch with product development.
"Oh, just enable Feature B."
"Er... Feature B is obsolete. Didn't you know that?"
"..."
Why is it so appalling? Because the person in charge of New Feature A REPORTS TO person in charge of Old Feature B and Feature C.
They ALL WORK IN THE SAME GROUP and they're unaware of what each other are doing.
Words fail me...

Damn it, henchman! I am not sacrificing another maintenance employee for your microwave remixes. Do you have any idea how much of a pain it is to get a properly trained employee to sign all those NDAs and ignore a few deliberate OSHA violations?!

But I need a cool boss theme for my recurring appearances that is noticeably different from the usual boss track and also won't get tiresome from repeated listening!

Your whinging is tiresome from repeated listening. Now go tend the radioactive alligator moat.

Look, one basically leads to the other at this point. Causality is for chumps.

Gonna have to use that word more often.

I heard that word or variations thereof at my old Megacorp, and it was largely the same kind of situations.

Aww man, I always lose a perfectly good boot and attached foot to those guys. At least the radiation gives me decent chances of growing a couple spares.

Awesome! You have demonstrated ability! Now can you sew up my leg? The cat dubbed "Confused by Dust" jumped on my thigh while I was on a conference call, and immediately slid backwards. She attempted to arrest her fall. I am less whole.

Our job is finished and no one was hurt (besides myself) and no one died, despite the customers best efforts.
Maybe I am Jesus after all.
At the least, I'm a Mel Brooks equivalent to Jesus.
That sounds painful.

Tis a flesh wound! I'll be fine.

Fill it with sling bullets, then sew yourself a sling.
Then you will become...

Probably archivist bard. I am an endless font of semi-useless knowledge, and I will talk unwilling ears off about it.
Hrm, sounds like ME. ;)
IS there a "jack-of-all-trades" class, that specializes in washed up performers still trying to relive their glory days, who are convinced that they have 'Phenomenal Cosmic (Wizardly) Power!', who can and will talk your poor ears off, but who ARE actually good at what they do? (Both Performance and technical-wizardly wise) Once you can get them to shut up?
Cuz, yeah, THAT'S me. :)

The TL;DR version: Every country that has had success against the virus has had consistent messaging at all levels of government, plus from their scientists.
The column is a depressing "humorous" look at the messaging we're receiving in the U.S.

Please tell me that we will not have Nightstalkers next! Please!
Finally, a new job!
As a nightstalker? I could see that.
joking aside whats your new job?
I don't know yet, hopefully we're building the landscape transformer (it's going to have parts that move and shift depending on the weather radar).
I guess I should have said "new job site" instead of "new job,".
I don't know why but I always got excited for new job sites as well although it bothered me in some ways because I never got to see the finished project someone else always did that.

So.
Yesterday, a large white pigeon flew into the home through an open window. Despite tv shows and urban legends, this does not happen often in Brooklyn.
He settled on top of the potato chip box and fluffed up his feathers, and just...stayed there. Overnight. Attempts to feed him and get him to leave simply did not work. He wasnt moving, as it was comfortable. Eventually we just went to bed.
Next morning he is still on top of the potato chip box. I picked up the box and stuck it out the window. He stared at me, wondering why I had moved the box. I put the box down and he hopped off and took a grand tour of the entire freaking house. He turned up his beak at the master bedroom, and went into the smaller one. There he jumped up onto the heating convector, looked at me and just...hung out.
So I logged on and went to work.
Eventually he walked over to the window and kinda pecked at the window mesh(bedrooms have window mesh for mosquitos). I opened the window mesh and he took in the breeze, looked at me, and went back to the heating convector.
Eventually he looked back and flew away.
I recently discovered that he may have sought shelter here because a hawk moved into the neighborhood in search of prey- without people feeding pigeons elsewhere they have had to look around to find a meal. Chances are this guy was hiding from a predator, and my home will always be open to those seeking such refuge.
Nope, a robot pergola that shifts and moves according to what the radar says.
I even get to learn how to use a GoPro to capture it all for a kick ass construction montage.

Have you seen the idiots gathering in the streets, sharing their biofiltered oxygen and whining about needing to get their dead cells sliced off? This is better than cable!

In fairness, everything in Washington state is trying to murder everything else in Washington state.
The main difference between bees and wasps/hornets that I've noticed?
Bees make honey.
Wasps/Hornets are just vicious, mean lil b@$#@%&s who exist solely to MESS YOU UP!
Cook em with FIRE!

FIFY.
The Hollow on Netflix is like Gravity Falls. If every episode of Gravity Falls consisted of the main characters getting stuck in an escape room.
So, yeah, pretty painful stuff.
