Back in MY DAY I could build an entire desktop for...awww fuck we're old :).

>Amid a recent industry-wide focus on restructurings and staff layoffs to boost profitability, the media and technology giant also disclosed $638 million in severance costs, or $541 million higher than in the year-ago period, that hit its earnings in the fourth quarter. That included $305 million in higher severance costs related to its cable systems division, $182 million in severance costs related to NBCUniversal and $53 million in higher costs related to Sky.

The big negatives on the balance sheet right now is paying severance to employees which is over half a billion more than last year.

This is why you wear hard-hats at construction sites duh, the robot knows this, you should also follow the rules!

Giving me flashbacks to yesterday, threaded between two "deer". I had to look up what the hell they were afterwards and I didn't know we had pronghorns here!

I know a guy in his 60's and has back issues, he straight up told me his life sucks without opiates and they are the only thing that allow him to function and move. He admits it sucks, he doesn't want to be dependent on them but on the some level I'd rather have him addicted to opiates and able to live than just being bed-ridden for these final years. He loves concerts and you tend to have to walk a lot at those, if he has some opiates he's got a few solid hours of walking around, without them he doesn't even want to go.

Problem these days is that due to abuse of the drug it's harder for him to get prescribed it regularly and they are like, "But you'll get addicted..." and he's like, "Yea....and I get to live a life." This guy would rather 5 -10 more good years than 20 years being bed-ridden.

I'd like to imagine he was naked in his kitchen with his hands on the counter and a full body mirror behind him. He'd pose, look back at the mirror, draw a bit and repeat. A true artist...also a quiet Friday night.

Diesels are interesting to me, not because I have/want one but because of how they've changed SO MUCH in the last 20 years. These days you couldn't pay me to own a newer diesel. What I see though is people get used to their engine, they don't like to change unless this is forced from a big company (e.g. this article says this is for Amazon).

If you want to drop your own jaw, go look up the price of a 20 year old diesel truck, those pre-emissions diesels are sought after because they are so reliable.
