Well that’s the end of me ever doing anything productive for the rest of my life.
And a new phrase entered our vocabulary
It was a bridge too far.
This was a great read. Thank you!
Reclining your seat is an act of pure evil unless you are sitting in front of a tiny person. Even then it might be considered moderately evil.

Today is my wife’s birthday, when she opened her gift it was a reMarkable Pro. So far we’re both impressed.
Fully agreed very heavy.
Love love love these books.
Any early Alistair MacLean…
Guns of Navaronne
Where Eagles Dare
When Eight Bells Toll
Night Without End
Puppet on a String
Louis Lamour’s westerns are complete popcorn and fun to read

Fucking abhorrent behavior from the State.

Two email threads on the same subject with the same subject line, slightly different recipient lists.
It was a really deep thread and at one point I had emailed the internal version with “the customer is not good at math.” And included the correct math.
Some time later we had resolved the issue and I replied to the customer, but somehow ended up on the wrong thread. Fortunately it was so deep that I don’t think they ever saw it. But one of our VPs did. We had an entertaining conversation.
To this day I hate threads that go on for ages and I hate it when people reuse threads.
I’m impressed you were able to convert the Oreos! 😉
6’6" (247.5 Oreo Cookies for those of you who use that measurement). My wife is 5’1" tall.
When I was growing up my mom would always say “the tall girls are going to love you!” Every tall girl I ever asked out shot me down in flames.
I’m a fan of capitalism, but not the kind of capitalism that decrees something is too big to fail and must be bailed out.

That would have been a giveaway.
I’ll take that as a compliment! I’ve had the same job since December 2001. My first marriage lasted over 20 years. My second is at 12 already. Three sons, one daughter, a wife who’s a career soldier, means we move a lot.
This has been a ton of fun. Thank you for taking the time to do it. I was very careful in my answers, hoping not to give too much away. I think I was mostly successful.
I’m pretty impressed at the 49 number though!
You’re actually 12 years too young. I just celebrated birthday 61.
Is there any reason why this needs to be a taxpayer subsidized organization?
I realize it’s not quite the same thing, but there are already corporations who pay private meteorologists for their services.
World or not be better to allow corporate America to pay for these types of services and free up those dollars for other things?
