  1. Well, let's start with these degenerate asshats pushing code on a Friday. Think of all the IT people who are going to have to work all weekend. Those same IT people will be sure to start looking at competitor software this weekend as they are working. Cloudstrike done fuck themselves good.
  2. It's asshats who fly once in every 3 years. I used to get mad about dipshits crowding the boarding line when they are group 90 or someshit, when they rush up to move 5 people ahead on deboarding, when they pay for the cheapest seats and play dumb when you tell them they are in your seat after they ask you to sit somewhere else. Unless the plane doesn't take off, I miss my connection, I cannot sit in my seats which I paid for or I can never deboard, I'm usually chill and accept the asshats for the poor bastards that they are.
  3. You're the reason why your company will soon be held ransom by some Russian hacker gang. This is just bad process governance. Not sure how this could have been missed if they have the proper test cases and if they internally test for a period of time before releasing in Prod. Not sure how a 83 BILLION dollar company is this inept?
  4. I learned my lesson after GoT. It was re-enforced with the Obi series. Not watching any series until the end when reviews come out. Hollywood has very low standards now. Is it shit? Yes But will it make money? Yes, probably. Ok, let's do it. And cut back on everything, special effects, hire cheapest writers in fact check out writers of fan fiction on reddit, hire actors/actresses who will work for food...you get the idea.
  5. I did not invest a second on this series. I was waiting until the end to see what the feeling was. Judging from this page alone, I'm good with continuing to stay the fuck away. Thanks for watching this shit so that I don't have to. Y'all da real MVP.
  6. MFer insist upon himself. He tries his hardest to make people dislike him.
  7. I like Faldo but what the hell was the shit about low tide and high tide? Was he implying that tides affect the ball flight?
  8. Decades ago, flying from London to Barcelona, I thought damn, this is like a Cancun flight. The Brits treat Barcelona like Texans treat Cancun. Barcelona doesn't need the money like Mexico/Cancun needs American dollars. I'm surprised it took this long for Barcelona residents to push back.
  9. apropos this thread. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/boomers-leaving-america-retire-abroad-110000534.html Boomers are leaving America to retire abroad in droves because the U.S. is just too expensive Fawcett, now 67 and a Spanish resident through marriage, couldn't be happier about his decision. Though his wife still works, he spends his days playing tennis, reading, and going to the beach or cafés with expat friends in Barcelona. He and his wife are able to travel around the continent, even planning a trip to Paris for the Olympics this year. The same lifestyle wouldn't be possible in the U.S., Fawcett says. Housing is much more affordable, food is inexpensive, and the wine is even less so. The mass transit system is a godsend; Fawcett doesn't have a car and doesn't need one to get around. Walkability is also a major benefit. "It's a good life here," says Fawcett, who became a resident in 2019. "Outdoor dining is everywhere, the weather is amazing. Everything is very cheap." Fawcett is part of a growing trend of retirees, spurred by America's retirement crisis, who are moving abroad instead of spending their golden years in the U.S. In December 2022, there were over 700,800 people receiving Social Security payments abroad, according to the most recently available data from the Social Security Administration. In 2000, that figure was less than 400,000. Some move abroad because they simply cannot comfortably live on a fixed retirement income in the U.S., where the costs of housing and healthcare, especially, are becoming increasingly unaffordable. A substantial number of retirees rely almost completely on Social Security payments to make ends meet in the U.S., which average around $1,900 per month. A growing portion of elderly Americans live in poverty, with social services few and far between, if they are accessible at all.
  10. Colorado front range city for me. Arvada, Golden, Loveland, Ft Collins. Close enough to the city for modern day conveniences, close major airport, and doctors and just 15-30 mins from 9-14k feet mountains. If not that, then Portugal or Spain.
  11. Highlights of my stay so far. Got to the AirBnB (9000 feet) in between Arvada and Nederland on July 6th. - It was 40 degrees Sun night, July 7th. That was amazeballs coming from Austin. - Then the heat wave moved through. The temp difference from Golden/Denver to my AirBnB at 9000 ft is about 15-20 degrees difference. It takes 30 mins to get anywhere but not worrying about AC is a wonderful thing. - Chief Mountain is a wonderful short hike and reasonable vert to see amazing views. 1.5 miles up, and then 1.5 miles straight down. Views at 11,800 feet were amazing to see all the surrounding 13k and 14k peaks. - We are staying right next to Golden Gate State Park. Over a few days, we've seen 4-5 different moose including a mom and her born this season baby. Saw 2 or 3 different bull moose. One was hella big and pissed as hell. The other 2 were docile and cool as can be. - Tubed Clear Creek in Golden and got my ass beat. Flipped over head first on my back, feet over my head going down a rapids. Scraped up my back pretty good. That's no Guadalupe River float. It'll kick your ass if you hit a rapids the wrong way. - Played golf at Fossil Trace was an amazing golf course with fun views and incredible views. - Looking to hiking Quandary again this weekend. We could climb other 14ers but love that Breck is just up the road. Great place to chill and eat after conquering Quandary. - Will be playing Arrowhead and Bear Dance golf courses this and next weeks. - Continuing to do awesome hikes every day after "work". Here's one of the chill bull moose. He was chomping on Aspen leaves not caring that we were 15 yards from him.
  12. Fossil Trace is a great track. For some reason, the greens were extraordinarily fast, even the locals I was playing with were complaining. It was my first round this trip and I couldn't dial back the pace. I stopped counting at 5 3 putts. The signature 12th hole was fun, as were most of the holes. I'm playing again later this week. Played West Woods Cottonwood and Silo courses. Fun city course but very short. Never touched the driver on Cottonwood 9. Only complaints are the vast majority of tee shots were 5 and 4 irons (200-220 yards) and the par 3 18th on Silo. Boo on par 3 18th holes. I've been doing way more hiking than playing golf. Playing Flatirons in Boulder this afternoon. Trying to see when I can get down to south Denver to play Arrowhead and Bear Dance. Hard to play golf when the mountains are calling.
  13. Emergency Response Plans - how the fuck does a utility/private energy company in Houston not have this shit figured out. Houston has had many experiences for lessons learned on how to react to disasters. That CP seems to be still shooting from the hip is comical.
  14. https://www.aol.com/news/harris-county-deputy-fernando-esqueda-105038944.html A manhunt is underway in Houston for the gunman who ambushed and killed an on-duty deputy overnight, authorities said. The incident began just after 10 p.m. Wednesday when Harris County deputies responded to an aggravated assault at a Little Caesars pizza shop, Harris County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Mike Lee said at a news conference. "What happened is senseless," Lee said early Thursday. "The suspect came into the location to pick up a pizza that he had ordered." "He was upset because the order was incorrect," Lee said. The suspect allegedly verbally assaulted the employee, "then produced a firearm and pistol-whipped the employee and then fled the location," Lee said. "The employee at Little Caesars was able to identify the getaway car by make and model, color and license plate," Lee said. Deputy Fernando Esqueda spotted the suspect's car, Lee said. Esqueda then "had a phone conversation with one of the other detectives to let him know he did have the suspect vehicle in sight," Lee said. While on the phone, "our deputy apparently was ambushed" and shot multiple times, Lee said. The sheriff identified Ronnie Palmer, 44, as a person of interest in the shooting. The sheriff says Palmer is also wanted in connection to an aggravated assault at a Little Caesars Pizza at 15634 Wallisville Road on Wednesday night. Piece of shit. He was/is the football coach at Monterey Peninsula College. That's a rough 44. https://x.com/ronniepalmer33
  15. My mom is filing for unemployment as we speak.
  16. Did you board the wrong airplane and interrupt Brad sticking it up Jennifer's ass?
  17. If a US voter is going to vote for Trump because "Biden" did poorly in a "debate" where Trump wasn't called out on his bullshit lies, then we are truly fucked as a country. Trump is an absolute piece of shit but we are worried about Biden. I don't think anyone on the Dem ticket is going to make "on the fence" voters think, "well, this person is ok so maybe I shouldn't vote for the piece of shit felon pedophile." At this point, if you are "on the fence", you are a Trump voter pretending not to be a Trump voter. Screw it, maybe we are already truly fucked as a country.
  18. The fuck! CoA can go fuck itself if it wants to impose restrictions on my AC temp. https://communityimpact.com/austin/south-central-austin/government/2024/07/05/austin-inches-closer-to-air-conditioning-mandates-for-residences/ A new city mandate for air conditioning in all residences is moving closer to final approval, and residents can weigh in on the change in July. What's happening The city is in the process of revising its technical codes, including its first proposed air conditioning mandate under the building code. The update would require all residential property owners to keep rooms at least 15 degrees cooler than outdoor temperatures, and no hotter than 85 degrees Fahrenheit at most. If implemented, the standards would apply for all existing properties and new construction in Austin. Austinites can weigh in on the new building code items online until July 24. The revisions will also be discussed at the July 9 planning commission meeting before heading to City Council later this summer for final approval.
  19. Dem politicians are weak as fuck. Trump has a mile long list of bullshit including being a convicted felon and rapist, and yet the Rep politicians are fully behind him. Biden has one bad reality TV episode and the Dem politicians are trying to OD on vagisil. The Dems are creating the illusion that Biden can't compete with Trump. It's going to be self fulfilling. Fucking dipshits.
  20. Need to add Pedophile to the subject description. He's mentioned over 50 times in Epstein doc. He likes 13 yr old girls. Sick fuck.
  21. I wasn't in Breck but I'm slumming at 9000 feet in the mountains between Golden and Nederland. It was 40 degrees this morning. It's supposed to get hot as fuck this week in Golden, but up here, it's 80s/50s. Went on 2 hikes yesterday. Playing golf this afternoon. I get to do this for an entire month before I have to go back to the Texas shithole. 4 more years until retirement in Colorado.
  22. This whole board went Satya. It's July. Some of yall need to chill the fuck out. Lots will happen between now and December. Still a whole fucking season and national championship to win.
