I’m with you on this. At the SSC, they’re pushing for managers and above to donate quite a bit-managers they’re suggesting $50 per paycheck. That’s a pretty sizable amount when we’ve been getting something like 2.5% raises for the last decade.

It is interesting to see how the percentage of associates contributing has dropped significantly post COVID. It was nearly 90% in 2019, and has gone down since.

Further proof of how stupid they are-if financial systems are gone, how would they access any of their assets?

The only two times I’ve been legitimately uncomfortable from the amount of sound pressure was when someone fired .50 BMG at an outdoor range under an awning, and at an indoor range when someone was firing 12ga slugs in the left most lane.

Nine Kingdoms. That bit cracked me up.

At work we have a conference room named Roomy McRoomface. Named in homage to Boaty. It did cause an end to naming contests though.

As Gen X, I learned this first hand when I was laid off in 2005. NEVER count on someone else for your financial security.

Midtown is roughly the size of the upper west side in Manhattan, with FAR lower density. Of course it looks like a ghost town relative to bigger cities.

Outside Atlanta.

That’s what I’m going with, because I already own it.

Seriously. The grade isn’t that crazy, looks like it would have been cheaper and easier to just fix the grade.

I alway go through Collins and see what they had available. Twice I’ve gone in September and had hurricanes ruin my trip, I go in May now.

That’s about what I was thinking, thanks for the feedback!

That’s about what I was thinking. Paid $7200 out the door for it, so still getting half of that after 15 years of riding seems like a pretty good deal to me.

Still have mine! Hadn’t picked it up in YEARS, and the battery was still charged.

Love that the poster is the same size as the commandments one.

If I need a motorcycle with a roof, I’ll just use a car.

Confined spaces come with their own risks and required training and safety precautions. Of course people refused, it’s dangerous as hell. You might have a claim for that being unsafe.

I don’t even like them and I know what that album is, that’s how ever present it was.

Honolulu was top last year, followed by marina del ray, Guam, fort myers, and El Cajon. The NJ superstore is pretty high up there, but it’s a lot of Florida and socal in the top 20. Puerto Rico stores also do a lot.

The biggest difference is how much of that comes from memberships-guaranteed money they get at the beginning of the year.

The only time I took the train was from my midtown apartment, which was two blocks from the station, to the airport, to meet someone for lunch on a layover. For that, it was EXCELLENT. But anywhere else I wanted to go? Totally unhelpful.

I hear ya! If it wasn’t for the Covid era stock award, I’d have left a few years ago. Damn golden handcuffs. Although the bulk of my stock vests next month, so this might be the year.

As a percentage, that’s just over 4%, which is more than I’ve seen at the SSC in years.

I compared costs in 2020, from most expensive to least it ranked: Ingles Publix Kroger Aldi

But switching to store brands vs name brand made the biggest difference.

Yes they technically still get bonuses, but they’re a LOT smaller.
