  1. Colorado heavy on mail ins that need signature verification
  2. Fair enough, obviously everyone’s experience is different and a bit unique based on a myriad of factors across the company. - We always had a lot of folks on the phone, even for in-person meetings…life of a global footprint - I’ve found this to be true…but it depends on who I am working with. Someone who likes to be chatty, or is lonely? Then it’s gonna drag on because there’s no one knocking on the room door to kick you out. - Can totally see missing hallway chats…my own team was hybrid for years, are all long-tenured and got to establish personal relationships before Covid. We are comfortable using Teams to throw shit against the walls and waiting for feedback. Obviously not all teams are like that. - I personally feel more productive, but I don’t really work hours anymore…if I’m busy I’ll focus and bust ass…if I’m not I’m taking a nap, and am more recharged for when it’s full tilt boogie time. I’ve got two young kiddos so I get Daddy’d to death regularly, so very much enjoy a quiet house to recharge in my own way. I also eat better, save gas/wear on my car, shit in peace, etc. My point isn’t really pro/con, it’s more being a proponent for organic policies that suit the unique needs of individual people…not paying blanket policies that pigeonhole people based on perceptions of execs I have never met. Sorta like my political stance.
  3. Nowhere near over and despite mass confusion on how many ballots are left and from where, most are still predicting she wins. Regardless it wasn’t supposed to be close so I’m glad she’s sweating it out.
  4. I’ll never understand the hatred of WFH for industries that can support it. Obviously if you’re working the line at Tesla, on an engineering team at SpaceX, or otherwise close to some kind of manufacturing/assembly then it’s a requirement. Maybe it suites his vanity or he’s using anecdotal experience, regardless I think he’s wrong for blanket policies. You’d think shifting the infrastructure costs onto your employees would be a good way to save money, especially at a place like Twitter with no hard product. I bet they see more brain drain. Thankfully my employer has a long history of enabling remote work, and is on the record as being comfortable with a hybrid capability. The few times I’ve gone into the office there is a mix of people practically in PJs and others in full suites, and if it is what works best for them…great. There’s been no decline in corporate performance.
  5. Alright so a guy literally known as NoName…on a forum full of aging assholes who hand whataburger bags of cash to tight ends, sent a member dressed as Pedobear to a football game, harbored the rock thrower and gave a bolt-on cam girl the courage to run for city council…has more business sense and cohesive arguments than the richest guy in the world. No wonder none of my friends take me up on joining here, I can’t explain this shit.
  6. I’ve had to stop following on Twitter and just assume Boobert is going to eek it out…there’s insane over analysis on mail vs in-person, totals by counties, etc. Latest is 1k uncounted in Mesa county could be the chunk that gets her over the top.
  7. Colorado done counting for the night per Thorongil. Looking gloomy based on those found ballots.
  8. Laughed this morning upon seeing those OneFamily choad faces turned off comments on their FB page
  9. Not relevant to most but man was I glad to wake to seeing the One Family lunatics roundly rejected (like prior restraint, Walter) here for RRISD board membership. I’ve posted before about my idiot neighbor and his big sign, canvassing the neighborhood and handing out flyers. Fuck that ‘ABC’s and 123’s not CRT or LGBT’ nonsense. We teach our children it’s ok to like who you like, that it’s ok for people to marry other boys/girls as they see fit, and to love people for their character not their appearance.
  10. Well the needle still has it lean Repub so assuming the uncounted votes are all rural?
  11. Anyone know if there are live results on the RRISD board? Can’t seem to find anything. And Penn counts mail in votes first, so don’t get jimmys rustled about Fetterman yet.
  12. My only beef with the ads in CR is the bottom, and on a fast-moving thread where I get ‘new post’ notifications, the ad blocks my ability to show latest. A few I can X out of but most are undefeated
  13. All right I’m legit stoked to see how repubs fix the economy and terminate inflation…right? RIGHT? Or will we see them inherit changes currently underway and claim victory, or neuter the fed to prop the markets up at the expense of more inflation? I’m glued to my seat
  14. An honorary OSU fan I see
  15. Ahh yes the ole ‘let’s attack what she looks like’ trope.
  16. I still feel like that’s the ultimate play here for Elon, not making money for himself but providing a forum where he’s king emperor to let the wing nuts / foreign governments / QAnon assholes / etc have free reign under the auspices of freedom of speech. He never really wanted to buy it in the first place but now that he’s committed, gonna shape it into his fiefdom. Not sure what his investors will think of that and it’s already apparent big money advertisers are pressing pause.
  17. 9 starters out, including the 4yr QB. Not the whole story but I’ve never seen so many injuries and QB in now is a FR who threw two picks and fumbled the snap on 4th-1. We’ve never had the depth to absorb those kinda losses.
  18. I’ve been a Poke since 98 and thought I’d seen it all, but this season is going to set a record for epic collapses…Sanders has always been made of glass but we didn’t bother to break in the backups, injuries piled up across the board, and I’ll be surprised if we win another game.
  19. Somehow every kid extant today knows that’s a phone even though they’ve never seen a ‘real’ phone like that in their life.
  20. Yeah this account isn’t suspicious at all
  21. There’s a throwaway line in the MST3k classic ‘Time Chasers’, showing the ‘future’ as a dirty studio backlot and Crow quips ‘Ben and Jerry’s was the key to the Armageddon’ that just slays me…the absurdity of it as I imagine how that coulda played out. That Stephen fucking King’s pissy tweet may have legit influenced millions of revenue for a hugely influential company convinces me that humanity could very well destroy itself somehow via Ben and Jerry’s.
  22. I did a double take…thought he had ‘shopped in the ‘deal with it’ sunglasses, which would be epic
  23. Well I pointed out before that he’s now what he hates…a remote worker, for two of his companies.
