@mclaincausey and how well did that cost-cutting approach maximise shareholder value at Twitter/X?
I heard an argument that cutting public sector costs will be harder for Musk and DOGE because the sacked employees will remain on the government's books as social security recipients.
-
Well they want to cut that too even though we paid into it. One of the ideas floated by Vivek was to base the firings on social security number prefixes and suffixes. That is an incredibly braindead idea for obvious reasons I won’t get into.
These are not serious people.

So tomorrow for lunch, we have a couple coming. One of who is vegan, and the other other who does not eat spicy.
And Christmas, we have some of my French family coming for a few days. One of the kids is vegetarian, and her partner eats nothing with Eyes.
FFS....

@Mister_Brue said in Random Rants:
eats nothing with Eyes.
Wtf?
As my bother, who surprisingly, is a little less tolerant than me, said, "well that rules out fucking potatoes too...."
-
It seems really inhumane to gouge the eyes out of an animal before you harvest it
-
@Giles I prefer to eat potatoes!
Also “eats nothing with eyes” could be fixed by modifying the guest rather than the menu - not a recommendation, just an observation - and picking up from @mclaincausey it could be the more humane option!
-
@Mizmazzle I feel this pain albeit in a different way. Good luck this week!
-
@Mister_Brue I had to kind of go off on a kid today. Always makes me feel bad. But its been bonkers school wide! Come Friday the whole place may be in rubble.
@SKT I clock out at 3:45...right about the time you're clocking in!!
-
@Mizmazzle dude I’m gonna clock right into a beer after they get home.
-
@Mizmazzle better clear that with admin! My boss is totally fine with it
-
@pechelman I’m sure @goosehd can help out with a cupcake recipe

Smoking some pork shoulder on this rainy PNW evening and look at my phone to see a UPS notification that my recent Friday morning order shipped. I thought the IHUK elves were making merry in Gosport. Apparently they care more about their patrons than taking a well deserved break. Not expected, but thank you guys!!! And Merry Christmas to you all.
-
@dwaynelum I can’t tell if you’re ranting about the IHUK elves working tirelessly without break or the annoying fact that UPS tracking came through flawlessly and now can’t curse their ineptitude!! Haha
Either way!! Feliz Navidad. Hope the smoked meats are falling off the bone!!
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
