Yeah. There’s always a chance that a customer could have an issue on a weekend and then I’ve gotta fix it. Once I was on 27 hours of conference calls over a weekend. But as I’ve gotten better at my job those sorts of things happen less and less.

Honestly the worst part of my job is doing my timesheets and updating weekly status, but when the weather’s good I do that from my hammock with a cold beer in hand which makes it suck less.

I’m salaried so I don’t have a lunch break. I work from home so I basically set my own hours as long as I can be contacted from about 10am to 3pm and go to any meetings I have scheduled.

I bet the LGBTQ+ movement has done wonders for recruiting.

“Ve have footage of you haffink gay sex.”

“Yes, I’m gay. That’s my husband. The kids were finally gone for an hour so we had some fun.”

“Blyat.”

Which was when Slashdot was like BBS before the Eternal September

Just write a bash script to loop over them.

What happens if I say M-1?

Zombie. Vulcans.

It’s a fake out. The boat sees it flying away and stands down then BOOM.

(Also, since it’s a flying boat I don’t know how they’d have an internal bay without a lot of water infiltration.)

Considering it’s a SeaMaster they might be anti-ship missiles

Nation-states were a stupid idea to begin with

I think it has more to do with maintaining a manufacturing base for defense than it is about jobs or the economy.

I’ve worked for a couple startups and you’re absolutely right. If you make a profit you pay taxes on that money, so startups like to spend most of the money they bring in. They also want to show revenue growth, since that’s what investors like to see. You grow revenue by getting more paying customers. And you do that by doing what your customers want.

When you go public, your goal is to increase shareholder value. So you do this by reducing costs and finding ways to wring customers out of revenue. You find ways to nickle and dime customers out of revenue so much you develop an entire branch of law devoted to you suing your customers

I lived in prime Trump Country during 2016, and a couple people told me that they admired Bernie because he was honest and also hated billionaires.

Plus I had a few guys on the verge of staging a takeover of the local concrete plant until Der Kommissar pointed out that I was describing a socialist cooperative.

The US ice cream ships could be a whole hour just by themselves

The IRA could teach them a thing or two about insurgency.

Blue collar dudes are surprisingly okay with leftist ideas if you don’t use the “bad words.” But if the group’s too big there will be someone from their Politburo who realizes what you’re talking about and starts hurling feces.

The closest thing I have to a worst enemy is the mother of my children, but my kids also really love my cat so I don’t know how I’d answer.

That was my plan but I couldn’t find any :(

I’ve been out of the office so long I don’t even have any polo shirts, so I had to buy some at Goodwill
