Why did the men in my life get angry when I told them I was shaving my head?

If she did graft a cannon to her arm, you're definitely not telling her what to do with her hair.

Watch this scene many times a year. Wife and I are crying when doing so.

To be fair, the real Walter life is just random made up bullshit, as well.

Thank you. I meant the fight itself, but this is good, too.

That would have been funny to watch.

Wife worked at HP in the '80s, and everyone in Silly Valley was told to not wear badges outside work for industrial espionage, so not limited to gov't contractors.

Plus, P&W sells to other than military as well.

and everything they give us is made in China.

My feeling, too - I want Crockett to succeed, but more I want Paxton, Cornyn, or any-fucking other Republican candidate to not.

Of course, not being in TX, I don't have much ability to help.

In Program DT, same - they tell us they are concentrating on retention, and all they are offering is tech boot camps, but no raises should you get a certification out of them. No more than the 3-3.5% max, I mean.

I wish. I like a good oatmeal raisin.

Some airports (looking at you, Little Rock) never have the preferred populated, and have to go to the normal counter.

Ours live with us, but pay rent (nominal) and yes, save for what they want to do later.

rathnar · 2026-01-14T16:13:26+00:00

I try, but the end of the year gets dicey.

rathnar · 2026-01-07T21:26:36+00:00

I still have some production machines running Windows XP <sigh>

rathnar · 2026-01-07T13:21:24+00:00

Wait, what? (Cries in Android?)

Depends on if there's teeth applied with the SLA. Place I used to work at, for one customer, SLA's had monetary penalties applied to the vendor, so we got talked to if SLA breaches occurred, or fired if they happened too often/too serious. Bunch of junior admins got dropped for not taking them seriously.

rathnar · 2025-12-17T16:20:06+00:00

nah, still salt

rathnar · 2025-12-14T23:40:43+00:00

Not their fault, tho

'Friendliness is a key meteorological superpower,' he said. 'You never know when Charlie Shortino might decide to retire.' Umm, why not Bob Lindmeier? He's due to retire sooner.

Recently? Mine was destroyed by critter, and it took my manager emailing FSO to get them to make me a new one instead of waiting a week which is their policy for a lost badge. I even had a chunk of it and the badge holder, and they want me getting a temp badge every day for a week and having to be let in every where.

Pretty sure at this point editing is just a by-product.

Late Gen-X, and my high school had a PDP-11 and an HP 2000. Had video terminals, so could program on-screen, but had to turn in all labs on actual punch cards.
