Everyone over 60 arent morons.

You didnt put "asking for a friend" on the end.......

Peacemaker has been renewed for another season. I guess they could do a hard reboot if they wanted to but hopefully they dont.

There are so many records that are/were fake. If you played the games, some of the scores were outlandish and would have taken days of constant play to achieve. I held a couple of records but all of mine were set in local arcades with lots of people watching. But then you look at stuff like Defender where the high score was like 75 million. Thats a legit 75 hour game there if someone could pull it off. All you had to do to submit a record back then was call them, they send you a form, you play the game and have 3 witnesses to sign off. Send it in and you have the record.

Hopefully now they have made it more difficult. Some of my records were beaten in really suspect ways but not a lot you could do back then.

Yea, Im sure the people who just go tthese as gifts are going to be really happy about this news.

Is it still that way tho now that McConnell isnt the senate majority leader anymore? I know Chuck Schummer was all about legalization. Maybe this will get the ball rolling.

I have no desire to go back to the office. During COVID, my company moved locations and added about a half hour each way to my commute. I can get everything done I need done from home and when Im done, I sign out of my computer and dont think about it until the next day. Realizing how much of my life I was wasting commuting back and forth has been a real eye opener. My commute was an easy 50 minutes each way, now its going to be over an hour each way. Thats a lot of time especially when I still expected to work after hours for patching, etc.

I dont want to say where I work but its not a small company.

We have done a complete data center move with all staff being remote for over a year. This is multiple applications across thousands of servers.

Productivity is just as good as it was prepandemic. The people who didnt work before the pandemic arent doing anything remotely either. The workers, the people who did the bulk of the work, are still just humming alone.

Communication is by IM or phone. I would have to say we have done incredible in a WFH model but we also are being brought back into the office for the sole reason that our employer had just bought a new building prepandemic and they want people in it.

I sit back and look at the 2.5 hours of round trip commuting I had to do every day for years that I havent done since last March and ask myself if its really worth it to go back. They keep talking about a hybrid model. Thats going to be make or break it for me.

Im high risk. Ive been working remotely since last March. I get way more done, I have more time to spend with my family and I dont miss the 2 hour round trip commute I had to make every day.

The powers that be are already trying to drag everyone back into the office. I just dont see the point other than to have a body sitting in a chair in a building that we dont really need.

Ive never been able to understand why IT departments/companies needed an office other than to micromanage people.

My company plans to stay with a remote hybrid model and that was their plan before the pandemic. They moved everyone into a building that cant even sit everyone so its going to be a rotation and you don't have an assigned desk. I've heard it will be 2 days in office, 3 days at home one week and vice versa the next week. I haven't stepped foot in an office in over a year and wont be until I'm fully vaccinated so I've still got a couple of months of 100% remote to look forward to. I don't miss the office at all but it is what it is. I just work there.

Id be all for this. Ive said for years social media would be the downfall of society and it seems to be fulfilling that prophecy.

That mall has been deserted and circling the drain for years. IKEA was supposed to come in last year and bailed. Last time I was there, over half of the stores were empty. This was pre COVID so I assume now its even worse. One of the oldest malls in this area. Hate to see it go but I'm really surprised it lasted this long.

You must live in a world where you like watching two year old movies on Netflix and TV shows being held back on Hulu. Yea.. Hollywood is right on top of things. The only decent thing they've done right is music.

My wife works for EMC. Its a terrible company. I tell her all the time that EMC strives for mediocrity. Theyve screwed her over on pay since the day she started while we've watched her hiring manager hire all his/her unqualified buddies into support positions when they know as much about IT as my 90 year old grandmother. There's a reason everyone is abandoning ship for NetApp and Cloudera. If you're fresh out of school, EMC might be a good starting point. If you're working towards a career, look elsewhere.

I had a VCR with commercial skip built into it and it worked pretty damn good. I dont believe RCA got sued.
