It's pretty much official that barring a miracle of Covid disappearing, we will be working from home at least until the end of this year. By the tone of the survey our CEO sent out yesterday they're considering at least some of us never returning to the office.

I'm kind of the opposite of you all--the only battery powered tool I have is a drill.  Corded tend to be more powerful and cheaper, and I'm a cheap ***.

Hey, Michigan got the good part of that deal... U.P. vs. Toledo.

I can confirm Michigan does, indeed, hate Ohio.

Some buffets in Vegas are already open.  Some are doing all-you-can-eat with a server bringing everything, but others you have to go get your food, though someone will serve it to you at the counter.

I don't have a lot of answers on this stuff, but this question at least has numbers involved.  In the dealings I've had with recruiting, our HR says the affirmative action targets want the employee population to mirror the general population.  Which sounds fair at least on the surface.  When we...

That one was for real, this one is a fake spoof.

I've been following the Vegas stuff like a hawk, and many reports are only 5% to 20% of people are wearing masks.  Either way it doesn't sound like fun to me (despite my avatar, I'm not willing to risk infection for BJ.)

I thought a lot about this during my 2.5-hour lawn mowing yesterday. I'll start by saying I think as a whole the country has come a long way in a relatively short time.  My wife was shocked to learn my elementary school played "Song of the South" in class.  We sang songs in school talking about...

I would seriously consider filing in small claims court for this one.  You signed up, they didn't deliver and now want to charge you a fee to use the credit?  I don't think so. I wonder what the likelihood of them even showing up in court is? Probably nil, so you'd probably get a default...

They didn't know what hit them.

Heat pumps are pretty common down south. My wife had one in south Georgia, and my dad had one in southern Arizona.  In their cases they're air to air heat pumps, so basically just like A/C in the summer, that reverses in the winter.  My wife's would do fine for heat until it got down into the...

We had strawberries in our garden that we originally planted 3 years ago.  Wife wants more room in the garden, so we started a second 30x40' fenced plot to put berries and fruit trees in.  Three years ago we originally planted about 20 strawberries, but ended up transplanting over 60 with all...

Before and after (I finished putting up the fence yesterday.

I have a set of those harbor freight jackstands... just bought them in March.  Still need to go check the model number.  

Not much of that going to happen when you have Keto Breath.

Video of the moment of dam failure:

Yes.  FERC listed it as a high-hazard dam in 1999 and revoked the electric generation permit for it a couple years ago saying that it might not survive a flood.  The owner had refused to make the repairs/upgrades that FERC required. I wouldn't 100% blame the owner though--I don't see how these...

Update: the dam has failed.  Caused breach of another dam downstream as well.  Lots of people evacuating, and unclear how far downstream the flooding will go.

I'm nowhere near the baking level of most of you in this thread, but we have rhubarb ready to harvest and I want to make a pie.  Any good recipes?  I like my rhubarb extra tart!
