Sorry folks, we have no internet tonight because Spectrum sucks.

Enjoy your Friday.

On the bright side, I have purchased everything to go to Honey Harvest.

      I would absolutely use those coins for XP tokens in a Cypher or FATE campaign…

      I like that shop in general. Eventually I will get some of those.

    I’ll relay the news to the bees and all others, as a matter of motivation, Ron. Kinnath is ready!

    Spectrum’s failures are beyond your control, and therefore you must remain Stoic.

    I’m not going to go back for a link, but millions of bees will be thrown out of work by Del Monte’s closure of a processing plant in California. Farmers will chop down their peach trees because there is no place to send the peaches.

    But don’t worry, the government will bail the farmers out.

      How much do unemployed bees get?

        Nothing. Unemployed bees are dead bees.

      The bees can learn to code pollinate the almond trees instead.

      The real question is why the farmers aren’t diversified?

    ODOT- a model of efficiency.

    What’s the big rush? That river will still be there tomorrow.

      Just saw that as well. Indeed, best of luck, and try to keep your spirits up. They carry far more than their non-existent weight.

      I got a dozen Victor mouse traps and a block of Velveeta on the way from Amazon. I’m good.

    Court rejects Virginia redistricting in a blow to Democrats’ counter to Trump, GOP

    The Supreme Court of Virginia on Friday struck down the congressional redistricting approved by voters in April. The ruling is a major setback for Democrats’ attempt to counter the pro-GOP reshuffling of voting maps led by President Trump.

    Commonwealth voters last month approved — by a 52% to 48% margin — a constitutional amendment to allow redistricting. But responding to a lawsuit brought by Republicans, the Virginia high court found that the Democratic-led legislature made procedural errors in how it placed the question on the ballot.

    But it was approved by the voters! Overwhelmingly!

    Today’s workplace lol:

    The processes on wafers are almost universally performed out of sight, the wafers are transported in opaque clean containers and to maintain that cleanliness very few people have access to open them. On top of that most of the managerial-ish engineers that design the process flows/transport/protocol zones and the like don’t even work in the fab. They don’t need to be there so we keep their filthy mammalian bodies out.

    Anyway, I got the wrong wafers, and I can tell they’re wrong because I can visually see them and recognize that this is not the specified surface. So I’ve got someone sending me documents that these are absolutely the right wafers, so I sent him a pic of the war surface to counter his documentation.
