The extension cord is pretty easy to eliminate - its a safety issue because its a trip hazard, even if you figure out some creative way to snake it around walls to the outlet yo want.

In 10 years their sweet rides will be tricked out golf carts, scooters, and wheelchairs.

I suppose I should clarify that you turn the breakers on when you need the outlets, to vacuum or polish the floor or whatever, provided its safe for your employees to do so in the breaker panel.

If its feasible, turn off the electrical breakers to those outlets so there’s no power. I have seen a few places do this to prevent vampire electricity theft. The primary reasons those outlets are there are to facilitate electrical cleaning equipment and not for portable charging.

I really associate Nick more with the Great Greying than Libby since it happened in the immediate aftermath of his bad election take and attempt to defend it.

I wonder what the protocol is for getting a roasting when you leave. I didn’t think Nick had been here long enough or had enough notoriety, and he was even given the chance to post his own farewell which most authors don’t do. Gotta hurt if you announce you’re leaving and the collective office response is to tell you…

Will HamNo be posting a rebuttal to this?

Do they even teach kids about Louis Riel? All I really remember is learning about the Plains of Abraham, the revolts in Upper and Lower Canada and how that eventually led to the founding of the country, and then flash forward like 60 years and we’re talking about World War 1 and national identity.

The only thing you can gauge from Facebook comments on online newspaper articles is how many Conservative voters have Internet access.

I suppose it depends on how you count but the Music City Miracle took place on January 8, 2000.  Still an impressive playoff drought though.

How far can you kick a can down the road?

If you want someone to fuck up the position so badly that it gets squashed, AJ’s your guy.

The most hilarious cost breakdown I ever saw detailed the fact that 100% of the wife’s net income went towards live-in child care.  Like, if you want to work and enjoy work, fine.  But don’t be so obtuse about where the money goes.

A message for those of you in the grey’s that are espousing how poor you feel with a six figure income; you’ve become blind and indifferent to the comfort and privilege that amount of money affords you.   You choose to use that money to live in a nice neighborhood in a big house, drive a fancy car, and spend money on…

I see we’re entering the Neville Chamberlain part of history repeating itself.

Just go and say “If you were actually serious about addressing my grievances working here, I wouldn’t be leaving.”

I mean, Trump was outright told not to nominate him. His colleagues wanted to spare him the embarrassment of having to withdraw, or even worse getting shredded in a confirmation hearing.

Herman Cain and Stephen Moore both had to withdraw from consideration for positions on the Federal Reserve Board because the Senate wasn’t going to confirm them.  So they’ve been willing to show some spine when there’s a risk that the incompetence could blow back and personally harm them.

It’s pretty amazing how pervasive this attitude is among high-income earners. They blow all their money on things wants that their income and privilege affords them and then complain that they’re just scraping by and can’t afford things like an increase in taxes. This is usually accompanied by passive-agressive…
