  1. Get a life. Hug your friends. Breathe. Life ain't that bad.
  2. Motto worthy right there.
  3. As a childless adult with no travel commitments, I'm just here to support those in the coming weeks. Those who drop a couple grand on airfare. Hoping the wearher/TSA/random fuckery doesn't impact their travel. I witnessed a kid meltdown at Costco this morning when their mom didn't buy the huge Lego display.
  4. It's November 1st. Thanksgiving is 26 days away. Christmas is 53. Are y'all ready to get yer holiday cheer? Alright den, let's get our roll on! The Longhorns are meh. AI slop is everywhere. You might need to take out a personal loan if you're planning on serving prime rib for the big feast. This is where we share the pain in hopes of surviving the insanity. Bring it, people.
  5. REAL men don't get breast cancer, you stupid libtard. Yet another policy decision brought to you by DOGE using AI and Stephen Miller being a walking scrotum.
  6. Yep. And especially problematic when it's forced into an R&D environment. Try to force brilliant lab guys to make concepts fit into C&E matrices.
  7. Fuck Jack Welch and the "leaders" he spread like a cancer across the globe in the aughts. When one of his lackeys took over my former company Six Sigma became mandatory for everyone. It was really just a way to reduce headcount by putting the "right" people on the black belt path, but everyone had to complete green belt training & sit on at least 3 project charters that closed within 12 months or you'd be ranked low & job eliminated. Paranoid yes men were launching charters left & right to show how much they'd "embraced our new culture" which was bullshit because the company already had a century's worth of process improvement baked into its DNA. The black belts & master black belts would search out the high achievers & fight over the high profile charters that looked awesome on PowerPoint, but the yield was rarely more than 15% of what was advertised due to the bullshit math & fake numbers they were pushing. I had a colleague who ended up on a two month long project charter that amounted to eight people 5S'ing a reception area desk because their boss was in danger of not closing the minimum number of charters that year.

  8. Just wandering off in a daze, randomly saluting Japanese soldiers, and having to be coralled by PM Takaichi. But the way he attacked those two whole steps to climb up on the dais...he's the most fit POTUS ever!!!
  9. thread police/ This should just be a Christmas thread. November 1st is when someone posts the "Official Bitch About Your Families at the Holidays, 202x" edition.
  10. Duh. The stated $250mm price tag --which is already ridiculously overpriced--will easily balloon by 50% at least. With all of those overruns going directly into the projects of Trump Co.
