    That is no doubt true and one reason we have ADEA. But I think the problem is particularly acute in larger corporations that are at least partially technology driven and employ a lot of engineers. In many of those companies, engineers are almost regarded as an entirely different class of employees, for better and worse.

    Based on? Show your work.

    I had someone tell me their 401k was better under Trump. I retorted that all the indices were at all time highs. They were like "I dunno, my 401k was better then." I told them they were either a dumbass investor or just a dumbass in general and maybe a liar.

    Management/finance people historically colossally undervalue tech, R&D, and technical employees. Engineers are often seen as fungible and commodities. Experience counts some, but 10 years seems to be as good as 25.

    Also, kind of a personal sidenote. I have been off the bike for months, including the SS road bike. The wet-ass spring, noted above by @sasquatch69 kept me off the trails during the relatively benign temps that I usually use to acclimate to the heat and build fitness. So now I am kind of stuck. Also, I didn't ride road during that time, because last fall, I went on a pretty long road ride with my main riding buddy and discovered that riding much over 10 miles, the cockpit on my little faux fixie is just too cramped. I need a setback seatpost and an absurdly longer stem. So, I kind of fell out of love with it. And, we moved to a very hilly neighborhood and I'm being a pussy. On the positive side, I acquired some kettle bells and am doing some swings and other exercises recommended for olds that should help my core and hip strength and are providing a little bit of cardio so I hopefully don't completely seize up when I get back on the bike.

    Ack, sorry, misread your post and just kind of ASSumed. What "gruppo" are you looking at? I keep seeing Microshift as being a very attractive der set if you don't require 12-spd. I am intrigued, but for no real reason as I am "addicted" to the cassette spacing on my Shimano 12-spd. So, I won't be making any mech changes, to AXS or TrAnsMisSion anytime soon, although I understand AXS works pretty well with a Shimano cassette, a SRAMano.

    Number one with a bullet is replacing federal civil servants, who are by nature and law apolitical (dEeP StATe!) with political appointees (demagogues).

    The map is nationwide, search by zip.

    I'm pretty shocked that McKinney is as blue as it is. I don't recall any rioters being from McKinney, but it is my belief/understanding that the rural/suburban transition, like rural places generally, is what tends to drive Trumpism. Aided, also, by a lot of nouveau riche type imports who may be confused about elites, leopards and such. Plano, too, for that matter, but east Plano has been abandoned to the browns, so I guess that's understandable.

    I am greatly amused by ol chubby boy playing the bones. I also think I need a straw top hat.

    Is Mansfield Trumpy today? I honestly don't know.

    Probably its most benign definition to them is "affirmative action."

    Very country in the 80s. I go up there to mountain bike and that's it. More generica as far as I can tell and the rural-to-suburban metamorphosis is I think what brews up Trumpists.

    Had completely forgotten about The Fixx until this post. Solid.

    Penis. Testicles, you get more for the matched set that one at a time.

    TIL that players get released in the CC League, or any summer league for that matter. ETA: I guess over the years I've seen things like "player x is no longer on team y's roster," but never the dreaded "release."

    The owners of Bari's! I hear it slams and goes hard.

    Exactly my point. Whatever little he knows about it is probably how it directly affects him. Install loyalists? Good for me. But by loyalists, the insidious ones don't mean loyal to Trump, they mean loyal to the Project.

    So, Rudy apparently has requested that his Chapter 11 bankruptcy be converted to a Chapter 7. That's a liquidation and would appear to denude him of assets. The Georgia plaintiffs want it dismissed, for substantial abuse. Good times.

    Security systems are wireless/wifi for the most part these days, even old-school ones like ADT. Probably not a worry.

    And "abysmal." Not Trump. He probably does actually know very little about this. This is the useful idiot part. These dominionist fuckers have been out there for a good long while, but until Trump, they couldn't get any votes.
  22. TwiceHorn
    Abysmal is not a word Trump knows or uses.
  23. TwiceHorn
    So much for that whole Ten Commandments thing. And, if that's a Trump sign 10 feet from his pulpit, he needs to pay some motherfuckin taxes.

    Grado offers a lot of bang for the buck.

    Big fan of natural joint replacements, myself.
