I used to think we had a mess of a grid. Now I think we have a mess of a grid and people trying to make it snow inside.
Don’t worry. I leave Houston for at least a month between July and August for Wyoming and set the house to 82 the entire time. Doing my part.

Fuck conservation, my shit's on 72 and I ain't raising it. But we're on the Entergy grid anyway so don't have to put up with y'alls ghetto ass shit.
This upstairs at 72 for the kids and downstairs 74 until it’s time to sleep and then it’s 70. My most expensive bill last year was ~$200 so the house seems efficient.
Also after trying Griddy the summer before the freezeapoclypse and spending $400 in two days I locked in on a 4 year plan that makes me look a genius now.

Damn I feel for the folks who need formula. Cannot imagine the stress.
Our family was blessed and my wife was able to breastfeed both our boys until around 15 months so I never dealt with formula.
We have a third on the way and hopefully we are lucky again and hopefully this mess is fixed well before our due date.

Back in the late 90s during a Y2K upgrade project I was on, I met a contractor who was in his 50s and still a major in the Air Force Reserve, but it was an odd arrangement - he didn't have to report like a normal reservist, but a few times a year they'd have him go and troubleshoot or do some Ada programming. They kept him on the books so to speak, so that when they needed him, they didn't have to deal with civilian contracts/etc., because when they needed him, they really needed him, like right then and there. He liked being in the AF Reserve without the baggage (and he picked up a lot of lucrative contracts with defense companies). On a side note, I was shocked at how much Ada was used in various aircraft and other systems.
Anyways, I'm guessing this Russian dude had a similar arrangement, only it involved looting. Maybe he proved very adept at it in Afghanistan and then Georgia.
I found this article to be a fascinating read about Ada and the 777.

I reserve judgement until I know if there was an ADU on the property/encampment.

It's part of the the W+ free membership
I just noticed the email about this yesterday. Pretty nice add. Between the Uber credits, streaming credits, random discounts to various resellers, and 5x pts on travel which I redeemed for Qatar QSuite - the card can pay for itself.

Patek 40th anniversary. Bought it 120. Was worth 550 when jacked. Close to million now. So you should be more like me. Obviously
This. The right watches are an asset that appreciates. Because Covid did stupid stuff with luxury items watches have been extra lucrative if you know what to look for or trade into.
That watch is too expensive for me though.

I saw the solar eclipse a few years ago in Jackson Hole and it was awesome. Definitely looking forward to doing this again. I just hope the lights come back on.

Bumping this. I have been with Verizon for years now, but just had my first experience with their customer support. Long story short: Fuck Verizon. I'm think of moving to Xfinity mobile. I'd save about $350 a year. Does anyone have any experience with them?
Xfinity Mobile throttles your data after 20 GB. And the throttled speed is frikin slow. I used them for all of two weeks and switched to T Mobile which has been good for the most part.

United is going to climb the airline ranks quickly.
United has been great for the past year or so. I’ve had 75 or so flight segments on United in that time and didn’t experience any major fuckery outside of a few weather related delays. Also the new product on the Max 8 is great and the Polaris seat is very good. They need to up their catering game though. Covid isn’t an excuse anymore.
There was a medical emergency on my flight yesterday and they let the passengers decide if we would divert or not to save the persons life. It had to be unanimous and I yelled, “ VETO!” I appreciate that because I needed to be on time. That’s customer service.

Which cards do travel insurance?
Chase Sapphire Reserve and Amex Plat.
My flight was “delayed” 14 hours and CSR reimbursed me $500 per ticket for hotel room and I think $100 for incidentals.

In the documentary Navalny recounts how an FSB guys email is "hacked". His password was Moscow1. The guy changes his password to Moscow2 and is "hacked" again. He repeats until to Moscow4.

I watched the Navalny documentary last night on CNN. I think there are a lot more Moscow4s than anyone realized.

So... Do y'all think Ukraine is staying off ww3, or are you cheering for the little guy fighting off imperialism... Or some other thing?
I mean, the US has... Well.... Texas and other land in similar fashion that Russia is trying to take Ukraine... No?
None of it belongs to any of us. We're all temps.
I can count to 🥔.

Okay economy airfare prices are getting stupid (all from IAH). $1k to fly to ECP in May. $1.2k to go to Boston in June. And the most reasonable route is to JAC for $600 in July.

Lucerne. I definitely recommend going to Lucerne and eating at Geissmatt.
Also the sightseeing train (Glacier Express) between Zermatt and St. Moritz is never a bad idea.

I bet they all stood up and clapped too and then broke into a spontaneous dance number to "A Brand New Day" from the Wiz
Anyone walking around smiling in an airport is a psychopath. They're hell on earth, masks or no masks. Now you can't even mutter under your breath at the fat family from Magootville who have never been in one before rushing to catch their Spirit Airlines flight to Branson.
You should airport better.

I caught the Omicron finally as well. Only symptoms were dry cough, slight congestion, and maybe some fatigue? I have two young kids though so I’m always tired. No fever (although I took Advil Cold and sinus to manage cough) and symptoms lasted 5 days. I had the free at home test kits so I took one and it was positive.
The rest of the family all caught it from me. Wife had similar symptoms which lasted a week (she tested positive). The kids kicked the deal in 2 or 3 days. We didn’t test them though.
