When I was living in Tallahassee making sandwiches at a local shop, I invented my own.
It was ham, bacon, sausage, and pork. I called it The Officer.
Can't imagine why it didn't make the main menu.
Did it come with a defrib unit?

2. a certain party tends to do better when voter turnout is high. so it behooves them to get as many people to vote as possible.
I've actually heard that this is not in fact true, broadly speaking, though I haven't looked into it closely. But at any rate, it's a common perception across the U.S. political spectrum -- hence Drumpf and DeJoy explicitly sabotaging the postal service to make voting difficult and uncertain.
Had a rough day yesterday, food poisoning I think. Much vomiting and fatigue. Bleh, glad it's over.

Why NobodysHome Doesn't Work in IT:
Tech Contact: Hey, NobodysHome! One of our classes is reporting massive performance issues and one of the standard jobs is failing. Can you look into it?
Issue #1: We spend an entire slide explaining that certain tools prevent the standard job from running, so you shouldn't include them if you plan on running the job. Students ignored this, ignored the lab instructions, added the tools anyway, and tried to run the job anyway.
Answer #1: You can't fix stupid.
Issue #2: We spend two entire slides explaining that the more tools you add, the slower your performance, so you should only add the tools you need. The practice instructions add the *one* tool the students will be using. Students ignored this and added 10-15 tools each. Performance suffered.
Answer #2: You can't fix stupid.

Which is entirely self-funded through stamp sales and shipping costs and zero taxes, so you know, their entire argument's basis makes no sense.

Living on the edge, 2020 edition.
So I went to Cinema today to see the New Mutants.
I assumed that at 14:50 on Wednesday, there won't be crowd. I was right. There were six people, counting me.
It's sort of session 1 story of building a part out of druid, ranger, a$%*++@ magic-knight (who clearly had an adventure before and thus got xp putting her ahead of the rest of the party), fire mage, and a... Hmmm... Charger Fighter? Barbarian? Not sure how to classify Canonball.

I have determined that co-worker starts cutting corners towards the end of a project and also if we have another crew working on our job site.
Unfortunately, today is both and it's essentially my project so I have to be extra vigilant.
Well, the reason I'm cranky about that request that came in was that:
(1) The students and instructor went off-roading.
I do this myself, so no issue.
(2) The students and instructor ran into an issue.
Not surprising when you're offroading.
(3) The instructor filed a "show-stopper, top-level urgency" ticket that pulled me out of a training class so I could debug their issue.
OK. You went offroading and you screwed up. You DON'T get to pull ME out of training to fix your offroad (mis)adventures.
Add to that that their misadventures were caused by failing to pay attention to the training I wrote for them, and I get uppity.

This.
I had to drop everything I was doing earlier today because of an "emergency issue".
The "emergency issue"? The user had the mouse pointer speed set too high for their control comfort. I got pulled out of a troubleshooting meeting with a client by my boss to jump all over this instead.

Duh. Of course I noticed broken tag hours after writing it.

I watched the (current) entirety of Warrior Nun, which is surprisingly really good. Plenty of action, relatable characters, and a positive theme. Looking forward to season 2!

I hadn't had that issue in ages. I think that default Windows setup works better now than it dead 15-20 years ago.
Or maybe it's just that I buy mouses with dpi switch.

That's good to hear. We got through 4 or 5 episodes and my judgement was, "No show with such a stupid title deserves to be this good!"
I'll see whether we can pick it up again...
Anyone looking for a million-dollar home?
EDIT: For you furriners out there, that's 130 square meters. It would be a huge apartment. But a million-dollar home? I kind of want to visit it just to see how teensy the rooms are to call it 3 bedroom, 3 bath. That's gotta be a stretch...
Is that the same you posted some time ago, when it was already insanely expensive before the remodeling or is it a completely different insanely expensive old house in Cali?

I have two rooms and a (rather small) bathroom in a slightly less than 50 meter flat, so I can see one more bedroom and two more bathrooms fitted into 80 meters without an issue.
Is that the same you posted some time ago, when it was already insanely expensive before the remodeling or is it a completely different insanely expensive old house in Cali?
No; this one busts me up because it's on a 2500 sq. ft. lot in a pretty mediocre neighborhood. It's a house. It's in Albany. That's about the extent of its good points. And it's listed at $1 million. I'm impressed.
(The neighborhood is debatable. There are no trees. There's no greenery. There are no nearby parks. But it's an easy walk to the El Cerrito Plaza so shopping is dirt simple, and it's less than a mile from a BART station. And it's Albany, so it's very low-crime. But I like trees where I live.)

It might be interesting to look at the assessment rolls and see what portion of that value is land and what portion is building.
I suspect the land without the house would actually be worth more than that. The demolition cost is driving down the value of the property.

Admittedly, this was a few years ago and property around here is crazy, but the last time a 2500 sq. ft. lot went up it went for $600,000. Adjusting for inflation is really hard, but that would likely be $800,000-$900,000 these days.
So the house is probably worth around $105k. That would make sense.
I think last year I posted a link to the outhouse-sized shed in Palo Alto that was selling for $800,000...

Yeah, I was just riffing on the Dredd movie. Dredd and the authoritarian militarized police state are definitely not anything to emulate or wish for.
Speaking of "F!ck da police": They've started running a car repair insurance ad locally on the TV with Ice-T as the spokesperson, talking about how he's had to deal with expensive bills taking his car in for repairs. Almost all the commercial's viewers only know him as that cop actor from L&O: SVU, and not as a multimillionaire who owns a Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, McLaren, and a couple more expensive cars. Ice-T does not worry about how he's going to pay for car repairs at his local mechanic's shop.
Wait, where are we supposed to insert our units?
Kinky!!!

And then a couple years later, he was a Low-Tek gangster/survivalist leader in Johnny Mnemonic and a kangaroo dude in Tank Girl. Now he's a multimillionaire actor on TV and can laugh at a John Mulaney stand-up routine that pokes fun at him.
Ice-T contains multitudes.
I remember how freaked out our local !sshole sheriff was when that song came out, and the hysterical, fabricated fear they tried to drum into these SW FL white suburbanite sheep. I still have that CD album somewhere; I remember liking the guitars on it.

So, pissed off time, and not gonna spoiler.
Our friend is diabetic and had heart surgery as a teenager. She's on the "A list" for avoiding COVID-19. But she runs a store.
Today she got her first anti-masker, running amok in the store, mask-free, talking about her Constitutional rights and saying that the people in the store had no right to throw her out.
Exposing my friend to a potential death sentence.
I'll just stop there, because I'm angry enough to say many untoward things.
(For the record, my friend keeps an N95 mask on at all times precisely because she is so high-risk, so she'll almost certainly be fine, but the f*****g nerve of some people...)

His current avatar certainly looks like an Earth Kingdom citizen, with the green and gold clothing.It's the longest I've seen him keep one. He must really like that one.
Two reasons.
A) Other than the weird hat and putting his hair in a ponytail, Aroden is as close to what I actually look like as I've seen.
2) No one else is using it.

I mean heck it's a private business they can throw you out for anything. I could say I don't like that look you gave me and out you go. heck wasn't their this whole fight about who had to make cakes and who didn't that is the same basic premise... I need to start marketing my cloroxicutioner... (imagine a taser that also sprays you with Clorox) I think now is the perfect time to both electrocute someone while disinfecting.
