  1. https://abc7.com/post/network-issues-linked-microsoft-systems-causing-outages-businesses/15070489/ Fuck Microsoft, this seriously fucks up things at work. We were supposed to have 500 people flying out today. Network issues linked to Microsoft systems causing outages at businesses worldwide LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A software outage linked to Microsoft systems is impacting businesses worldwide Thursday night. The issue was impacting media organizations, including ABC, as well as banks, airlines and other industries, according to reports by media outlets and technology experts. Earlier in the day Frontier Airlines was among carriers experiencing problems, but it wasn't clear if it was the same issue that impacted a wider swath of the business world Thursday night. The site Downdetector was reporting a spike in outages involving companies such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and even Ancestry.com. American Airlines, United and Delta have asked the FAA for global ground stop on all flights, according to an alert from the FAA on Friday morning. The alert did not specify that it was tied to the Microsoft issues. The FAA is telling air traffic controllers to tell airborne pilots that airlines are currently experiencing communication issues. Meanwhile, flights in the air will stay in the air, but no American, United or Delta flights will take off. At airports like Los Angeles International, social media users were reporting growing frustration among passengers stuck in the terminals.
  2. I was sitting in the waiting area of my local shop getting a headlight replaced (don't get me started, it cost $350 because it's a bitch to do) and a DPS Trooper brings in his Tahoe for a brake job. 15 min later they come back and inform him he's ground one of the rotors so bad it has to be replaced, parts tomorrow. He says fine, I can drive it. Be back tomorrow. I'm sitting there dying to say something like "Aren't you going to red tag that vehicle and write yourself a massive fucking ticket for knowingly operating unsafe equipment?" Narrator: He did not.
  3. WTeverlovingF has Chicago done to Whataburger?
  4. Since fucking when? I work where I interact with "the public" and it's hands off so far as trying to make them comply unless its an emergency, but if I'm just trying to get their attention it's perfectly okay to tap them on the shoulder. And I do mean "tap" not slap or grab. I believe his side of the story because I'm a closet Broncos fan and familiar with him. He got a stellar rep. The fact he is a large black man was the problem.
  5. Have you seen what those tungsten BBs do to Russian armor? Not to mention anyone unfortunate to be within 50 meters.

    B-List my ass.
  7. Pay and bennies are good, too.
  8. Per the latest information from county officials and state police, deputies arrived at Massey's home on the 2800 block of Hoover Avenue at 12:50 a.m. on July 6 for a possible break-in. It has yet to be confirmed if the 911 call came from inside the home and if Massey placed it, but sentiment among her family and friends is that she did. The news release indicated that deputies reported shots were fired at approximately 1:21 a.m. Massey was later taken by ambulance to HSHS St. John's Hospital where she died at 1:47 a.m. according to Sangamon County Coroner Jim Allmon. It's a scene that has played out all too often for Black people nationwide, said Springfield Chapter of Black Lives Matter co-founder Sunshine Clemons, harkening back to the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Trayvon Martin. "She should still be here," Clemons said. "Sonya Massey is her name, her name deserves to be said."
  9. Who wouldn't when the local cray are exercising their God given 2nd Amendment rights to shoot your ass because they are inconvenienced?

    Did Sandy lose an anchor?
  11. Y'all realize this is the first storm of the season and it was a Cat 1.
  12. If I had known I was going to live this long, the 70's & 80's would have been much different. Fucking fiddlers and payday.
  13. I don't get people that travel with animals. That has to be the most traumatic event that animal has ever been through. Noise, crowds, g force, pressurization. Jeezus H Christ.
  14. I've played driveway basketball in nothing but shorts with snow on the ground. Denver is a different kind of cold. If the sun is out and the wind is light it's very pleasant at 30°.
