    Dogs roam free in the house. Otherwise the one would eat a hole through the wall (done it) or break thru the door (ditto.) The other one would crap in the room because she'd get so anxious.

    So they get the run of the roost with the TV left on, no issues.

    Your dogs sounds like the latch key kids that lived across the street when we first moved into our house.

    I dunno, I kinda see it as a pretty big deal that China and Russia seem to have hypersonic nuke delivery systems and it was, apparently, a surprise to our Intel organizations when China tested same.

    Not surprised, but disappointed, msm doesn't think this isn't newsworthy. I mean, if you're in the fear mongering business, this is, kinda a big deal.

    It's not 'defund'; it was never 'defund'.
    It's always been purge, re-align, and re-purpose.

    Probably, but it was for General Tso to place an order for chicken, thought he was calling Colonel Sanders.

    The msm is now reporting "we" have a problem as police are slated to be laid off due to non vax... And they mentioned Portland....I'm sorry, I have 0 sympathy... <sarcasm> Surely the mental health advocates can pick up the slack, right?

    Same for very other industry that bitches over the next 3 years of this administration. You effed this country up... Fix it!

    Big day here at work. We put on a service school every year, we have people in the class from landfills all around the country. It is a big deal we shut down production clean the shop all up. It is an all hands on deck production. This morning I did the welcome and introduction and time for the first speaker. Go to fire up the AV and of course it is not working. F'ing problem is it is 8:15 and the GD IT guy is not in the building yet. Show up on time and do your damn job, and above all when you get called on your **** own it.

    Sounds like a public affairs department problem Pretty sure that AV isn't cloud integrated/enabled or plugged into the network..

    estimated 3000 (1/3rd) of Chicago Police are pending disciplinary action including removal for non-compliance with the mayor's shot edict. Up to 1000 additional planning on/have submitted retirement papers beforehand.

    If its broke it is an IT problem! Doesn't matter who broke it or whether someone just doesn't know how to use the equipment..

    It a GAWWWD DAMN IT problem.. So fix it nerd head!

    Nerd head quietly steps over and plugs it in or flips the on switch... maybe even follows the error message instructions..

    Magic fairy dust ---- and its working! LMAO..

    Kills me that educated people cant work simple things like power switches, power plugs or read the instructions!
