  1. company listed Jul 6 as date where we no longer had to get permission (HR+legal) to come back in to office. I went back in for the first time in over a year to help train a new hire last week. was planning on going back in for a few days this week, but they are moving all our desks/offices to a new part of the building (for some reason) and probably won't be ready for a while. - They still have the policy that, even if vaccinated, everyone must wear a mask in the office. I was team mask through all this past year when i was out getting stuff, but I don't want to come back to office being fully vaxed and wear a mask all day. Hoping they get that changed. it's a huge multi-national company so policies probably take time to change, but I'll keep WFH until that gets fixed. Even then, I plan to wfh 2-3 times per week (Tue-Thurs) but still waiting to see if the policy gets changed to officially allow that. Currently pre-covid it was 1x per week, which i never really took advantage of since i was new to the company and needed to meet as many people as possible. My commute sucks ass (30-40m each way), but the kids' school is about 3/4 of the way to the office, so have to travel up there anyway.
  2. lol, i am entering in this. I have a horse that loves to finish 4th place.
  3. convo with 10yo daughter "Dad, i feel like i am missing out on experiencing all the different Earths, you know if there are other multiverses. I mean, I'll never get to experience those if i am just in this one" Me: ooookay. well, we can't travel to other multiverses yet, but maybe some day FOMO of multiverses is real, apparently.
  4. soooo wishbone offense?
  5. rare footage of Ford at a scrip club
  6. i thought some antivax went and protested at a concert or something. looked it up, yeah it was the foo fighters last week.
  7. @NowThis haz excite?
  8. ambiguous statement is ambiguous. JFC, are they trying to save the vax for everyone else (outside of US) to get it first or is there some key piece of data that is missing to grant them confidence in the vax being safe and effective in children? I thought the mRNA ones had stellar trials for the younglings. obviously, there is no long term data, but we did not have that for the original ones either.
  9. Me to AA (by September)
  10. was this on AA and on 737s? Saw some tweets about it. people were speculating that they don't have enough pilots rated for the 737s with all the MAX planes that are coming back into the rotation.
  11. yeah, there was notice on their discord channel about the maintenance. It's back up now and races are fully populated. not sure if there were any major changes or not. probably just fixing that issue people were having with horses getting stuck in races that never raced.
  12. It's the mid October games where the temp soars in to the 90s by gametime and the sun is blazing that always got me. you wake up and it's not terrible and you hope it's going to stay at a nice temp...but hope...hope is a dangerous thing.
  13. but what if he called JG Wentworth to get that cash out option on his structured 50/mo settlement?
  14. yeah, i took a look at BAYC when the floor was ~ .4 ETH, but just could not wrap my head around the concept of WTF these things were. Now, they have sold a few of them to NBA players. That mega NFT whale Pranksy (sp?) has or had ~900 of them. worth probably $5-10 mil I did get in to a knock off one called gutter cats, lol. bought around .1 and floor is about .3 or so right now. but all my NFT eggs are pretty much in ZED right now.
  15. i have gone through the 'house' money from any crypto gains and now into 'hotel' money or something at this point, lol. theoretically well above water but that can change in a few hours.
  16. there were a ton of recs in the 'what to buy for next grid failure' thread, which maybe we should just start keeping a separate winter and summer thread for grid failure.
  17. i think all the people that were NFT/crypto trading since 2019 or so just have had soooooooo much increase in their BTC/ETH accounts that it's basically funny money to them. - ETH was $150 per coin start of 2019 - BTC was $3600 per coin start of 2019 if you had just $5k in your ETH wallet back then it would be worth $83K today. A serious trader probably had a min of $50K in coin back then to churn with.
  18. lulz. auction for those Stella Artois skin horses about to close. Z1 up to a cool $52K; Z2 $26K https://opensea.io/assets/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c248420045cb7b5e/110238896312374156694779971029466237810910659616547507179685594332097742372865 I don't feel bad for ZED at 'giving up' $1M worth of horses for screwing up the drop when they can sell 10 at auction and take in more that $100K. Breeding tentatively set to open July 12th, but seems they have been wishy-washy about how firm that is.
  19. the internet would break or ragnarok would start or maybe that's just what's on tap for 2022. But yes, I had this same thought with these same posters. is that weird?
  20. the one in Dallas on E. Mockingbird looked closed driving by it yesterday. I remarked to wife that Lubys looked shuttered and 10yo daughter asked what a Luby's was. I think all the olds in Lakewood/Mstreets area have passed on to the next plane and no longer eat there. I was more team Furr's anyway.
  21. not to derail, but fuck Lennox and fuck me for agreeing to get a 'smart thermostat' installed when we got the new system put in. The HVAC/condenser are tip top and nothing wrong with them, but the thermostat has to connect through a smart hub and starting flaking out and eventually stopped communicating. The wiring is all different and I could not just slap on a dumb thermo to keep going. The tech was able to come out today and said they are no longer installing those Lennox fancy touch screen ones. - at first tried to tell me it was not possible to put a dumb one back on due to the wiring config but either had an epiphany or decided not to be a dick after 2 mins of back and forth about how there had to be some way to make it work. Then went and rigged it up to work with a dumb thermostat. Other option was to maybe get a replacement thermo by Saturday. fuck that.
  22. can you guess what day the downstairs AC went out?
  23. i was doing my part. AC was out since Sat, but now it's set to something called 0°K. Fuck entropy
  24. https://medium.com/zedcoderun/cracking-the-zed-run-code-part-9b-the-secret-to-selecting-the-right-race-mane-event-e9a3fdcd9fa7 interesting article about how a super profitable horse changes racing classes. seems intuitive (run races you are good at to rise, then do the opposite to fall) but the data supports it. - still need the U-shaped profile for this to work.
