This is your reminder that national polling doesn't matter, and that you can win the presidency with roughly 20,000 votes

Yeah. There's always a chance that a customer could have an issue on a weekend and then I've gotta fix it. Once I was on 27 hours of conference calls over a weekend. But as I've gotten better at my job those sorts of things happen less and less.
Honestly the worst part of my job is doing my timesheets and updating weekly status, but when the weather's good I do that from my hammock with a cold beer in hand which makes it suck less.

I'm salaried so I don't have a lunch break. I work from home so I basically set my own hours as long as I can be contacted from about 10am to 3pm and go to any meetings I have scheduled.

John Oliver showed me they'll probably just call in a vet.
Maybe get some farmer with castration bands.

When I need to do stupid tasks like timesheets and emails I unplug. The lack of screen space means I don't get distracted.
When I need to do hard work I dock my system and use my dual 4Ks to maximize visual bandwidth.

"Ve have footage of you haffink gay sex."
"Yes, I'm gay. That's my husband. The kids were finally gone for an hour so we had some fun."
"Blyat."

I remember when iTunes was called SoundJam MP and that was much nicer than iTunes. I still miss its eclipse visualizer.

President Biden’s campaign spokesman said Trump’s conviction shows “no one is above the law.” “There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box,”
That's fucking terrifying

A big one is that pregnancy and child birth SUUUUUCK. Women finally have the ability to avoid it entirely, and I don't blame them.

You dodged three bullets, bro. If a woman gets turned off by asking then she's either not into you or she wants you to chase her, and both should be deal-breakers.

Carl Sagan co-wrote a paper about what we would expect to find if there had been aliens in the ancient past. Erik von Danniken took this and added a bunch of racism to create Chariots of the Gods.
Carl Sagan, to his credit, was regretful for writing the paper and sparking this ridiculousness.

I'd think it would be common sense not to be driving when you have a court appearance. I'd put on at least a collared shirt and a tie and take the call from a quiet place where there's nothing else going on.

My house has the toilet and shower branching from the same cold water line. This means that whenever the toilet flushes, it uses a lot of cold water and the shower gets too hot. To solve this I found the valve for the toilet and closed it just enough to fill the toilet without making a weird noise. This reduces the amount of water the toilet uses when filling, which means the shower doesn't get super hot. Because of how toilets work, flush performance is unaffected, and my showers are now a lot less perilous. I'm a little ashamed it took me so long to figure this out, but it works so I thought I'd share it.
I have an actual cold for the first time in about four years. What are some of your favorite remedies?

Greetings from the other side! I'm working on improving my Windows knowledge, and I'd like to replicate something I can do in Linux with Windows servers: Spinning up an EC2 instance and installing and configuring MySQL. I haven't been able to find any way to automate this down to one command. What I'm trying to avoid is spending a lot of time rebuilding my environment while I'm testing things out. If anybody has some batch files (I think that's what you call shell scripts here) or tips I'd appreciate it.
