I have a bar where I’m a regular. I have my own mug. There’s a guy who comes in, maybe on once a week named Hiro.

Hiro has a vision disability and walks with the appropriate cane to tap his way around obstacles. The “muggers” (regulars) stand up and offer to help him to his table on the patio. People say “Hey Hiro!” or “How you been Hiro?”

For one moment, conservative and liberal, atheist and religious, we all are human.

Hiro is one of us. He also orders good beer.

I love this place.

Wife had a cold Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and I was in the clear. But this morning woke up feeling like ass. Hoping I can kick it before the Sunday Super Bowl Funday.

Bentley says hello and hopes you’re having a great Saturday. He loves his pillow.

Interesting expose on how health insurers prioritize profits over patient care. As someone with UC (not nearly as severe as the person in this article) this makes my blood boil.

Wow, nice of my gas bill to double. But I'm sure it's just them passing the elevated prices of natural gas on to the consumer. Let's check how those prices are doing...

Oh.

@th3j35t3r cam we get a standard CoSo virtual meetup on the books? I enjoyed the one I was able to attend but my life schedule sucks and having a set day/time would be so much easier to plan around.

Totally like an old BBS meetup back in the day. With less awkwardness and McDonalds.

I had to be cranky @AI78 today with my team. I don’t like to do that but they’ve been making rookie mistakes. That was our morning meeting.

Sucky times but it’s the price of management.

Either way, 98% of the time they’re awesome and we’re all fun, games and bitchin” technical solutions.

ExxonMobil posted a $56 BILLION profit. Tell me again how the prices you pay at the pump aren't just gouging consumers.

I can afford to do a weekend there once a year. Some people it's their lives.

Napa is amazing, but wow what an amazing example of the obscene wealth difference in this country.

I'm on an HR leadership training and it's so cringey it hurts. I've probably sat through this same training about six different times at different companies.

I took a break, stood up from my desk, walked downstairs and went for a walk around the block that the office is on. About a mile total. Best decision I've made today.
