  1. About 5 years or so ago, I tried to get my office to move into the 21st century and move most of our processes online. Yeah, my main goal was to try to work from home but my point was valid, our shit is incredibly outdated. Nobody wanted to hear it, everything was fine, it would be a disaster to change anything. Now they're scrambling to figure out how to get shit done remotely. We had the $$$ to implement this plan and nobody could be bothered to do anything. They always seem to figure this shit out after it's too late.

  2. My credit union was offering 2.875 for 20 or 30 yrs (with points) on their website yesterday, so I called to get an appointment. They are booked solid for weeks, I was told. She gave me the rundown on the numbers and said I could apply online. So after work, I got online and the rates were already up to 3.15 or so. I tried to apply and the website was borked. I had to just shut it down, as I was enraged.  I get back on today and the rates are up to 3.375 for 20, 3.75 for 30. Fuck this shit.

    Drooling.  Even better color than the Miami blue 911 RIP.  They have estimate or a reserve?  Brain still mush in Vegas but I’ll look again.  

    The price I saw on Reddit is $875,000. Supposedly it was sold by Singer for $500,000.

    GM launches electric car - hatch - uv for $23,000, but you can't buy it.

    It's like they're trying to fuck themselves over by selling the hideous bolt instead of this, which hits the hottest segment in the market.8873c71981e9c7763c68306f15e549f5.jpg

     

     

    I don't know if this is a real car or just an artist's rendering but I really like it. So dumb that they won't offer it in the US.

    Their reports are works of fiction when it benefits them.  

    Many of them can't write a report for shit. I was in the office one day and saw a report that was written by one of our lieutenants. It was chock full of "He be, they is, we be" and enough misspellings to make me think a 5th grader had written it. Sadly, she wasn't alone. Not many of my coworkers were wordsmiths.

    and being reported the two in Iran died. 

    DUBAI (Reuters) - Two Iranians have died in hospital after testing positive for the new coronavirus in the holy Shi’ite city of Qom, the head of the city’s University of Medical Sciences told Mehr news agency on Wednesday. 

    “Two Iranians, who tested positive earlier today for new coronavirus, died of respiratory illness,” the official told Mehr.

    You can say that again!

  7. I got some new, brighter light bulbs so I can read in bed and the wife was concerned.

    Her: I don't like it. Now when I go to bed, that bright light will be on and I go to bed before you do.

    Me: When? I go to bed around 9:30 because I have to be up at 5:30. You play on your phone in the living room until 10:30-11 because you don't have to be at work until 9:00.

    A point of reference:  one can defend oneself, legally, with a proportionate response in an assault situation.  That is not an excuse of provocation.  Provocation is almost never a legal excuse for anything.  Cold cocking a seated cuffed juvenile is not justified, legally or any other way.

    When I worked in law enforcement/corrections, it was "Minimum amount of force necessary", which IMO is the best way to handle it. Deputy Dawg needs to GTFO. I'm no back the blue guy, either. These modern day morons are way too gung ho and feel like every interaction with the public is DEFCON 1.

    Is it a sign of old age that the first thing I thought when reading this was what exactly is the back stretch and how can I get one?
