You in the right lane?

Here, too, the tenant gets the deposit back and any interest accrued.

It’s different in my region.

Landlords have been challenged to show when and why they withold deposits. It’s not guaranteed but when brought to the board the tenant often wins unless the landlord can present a good case.

Then again, we only rent from companies for a reason.

That one puts the ‘disco’ in ‘discount’.

will only work on specific arm computers anyway.

For now.

Suicidal as a VP. Why don’t people get this.

A primary would have been suicidal. Wow, figure it out.

Phew! Good thing we avoided them getting into office then.

I love how people were convinced to avoid the party that didn’t stop genocide, and vote in the party that actively promoted genocide. Pat on the back! You earned it.

Well it’s also a US company.

Are you suggesting a US company that shoots rockets to the moon can’t be arsed to follow even a global standard? Like, who the hell else can it be doing business with if the Imperial standard from a king 200 years ago is its ride-or-die baggage?

Yeah. Cherry-picking can be used for good AND evil.

How did it play under Linux?

Look, I’d get my Mom to switch to linux if she still had a chance to play warcraft. Does it play on a rolling RPM release so I don’t have to periodically reinstall the OS? I’m serious. This is almost the only reason I don’t switch the family – very particular games.

Yep.

100% remote here – staff not permitted in the office (5 ‘hotel’ spots and a walk-in desk behind a buzz-door staffed by a rotating helldesk rep to receive deliveries and give/get laptops for repair/re-image/replacement. This from like 400 onsite) unless there’s a good reason.

We have a few meetings, but they typically go 15 min or so; CAB meetings, strategy, an hour’s status-and-plans that goes long at 30 min, a ‘watercooler’ meeting for breakfast and random chat, to build the team and get the nerd zoomies out. No one wants to prolong a meeting, and that’s awesome. It’s an interruption, but they block together what they can so it gets it out of the way, and Monday and Friday are kind-of a bust because it’s common for 9x9 ‘compressed’ time workers to take those days off. So Monday and Friday are quiet work-times.

Everything else is handled by a slack-like chat setup, but we light a call if someone needs to show a screen or we need fast chat between many people – crises and the like.

You should come work here. We have a few spots open but they go fast; and people only leave on retirement (thus the opening today).

This seems to be a dependency failure.

I’m sad that we had this solved 20 years ago. It’s like Texas measles.

At the height of being poor in like '83 or so (mortgage rates to 17%; just ponder that) we panick-moved to a smaller town with a union job but found a fixer house with an attached shop.

Dad, ever the salesman and skilled labourer, would do work for people in exchange for wood-working tools: Old window Jenkins would part with Lester’s Table Saw if Dad re-tiled the shower.

So we got tools. And he traded for plywood and plans. And suddenly we had a dory he could fit on top of this '75 econoline150 van. And fishing was great. But it was a lot of rowing this pig of a boat.

So he modded it with a dagger-board and a mast port. Took him 5 min to rig it and he was set for fishing.

Those summers camping because we couldn’t afford to do anything else but at least gas was cheap, they were awesome.

I think these people just have shiny boats, which are too expensive. If you want to find them, they’re finishing the Penske file so they can still afford exorbitant Slip fees and dream of Taking the Boat Out with the estranged family members who will then love Dad again and make up for all this toil. Dude needs a cheap ugly van and a wallowing pig of a dory to ‘sail’ around a lake in the woods; aim smaller and actually go make memories.

Corel was beautiful. It was, like gWave, ahead of its time.

And, being from Corel, it wasn’t only beautiful, but also tainted by PTSD from using CorelDRAW, which was so bad that the user needed to reboot after/while using it to reclaim leaked RAM.

Remember when those boring old two-tap showers never had this problem?

1 mile take the bus

This is a complete fiction, right?

Wait. Hear me out.

Chilly snowy winter campuses, especially in the frozen North where it gets chilly and snowy, will often be nigh impassable after they close down the underground tunnels – which they invariably do permanently as soon as there’s any report of crime down there - and then it’s either walking in your moon boots across the couldn’t-afford-to-clear snowy campus pathways in 2ft of snow, or take a bus from one collection point to another and cut down on the trudging.

I dunno how OOP rode his bike, though, unless it wasn’t snowy and kids are used to the shuttle service (me, I’d speed-walk across campus a few times a day. I was in great shape!) .

Just, small bus routes can be crazy-valuable if they avoid risk. That’s all.

Pretty much as written.

As one long breath with no breaks?
