If you have access you can run it through a square point of sale, there is a transaction fee. May also be able to run it through Apple Pay, but I have not tried/verified that.

Sorry, they could never convince that number of engineers and staff to move there and the staff isn’t coming from the local populace.


Uh, Louisiana is one of the top states in the union for engineering jobs per capita.

Rouge Roubaix check in. Anyone riding in it? I’ve never done it. I may do the short course.


I’m a new cyclist and considering the short course also. I’ve never done an organized event so it’s intimidating AF. Might go ride the short course one weekend and see how I do.

IMO the last episode was the best ever filmed.

The entire series was really well done. I grew up in this era so that probably helps.


Same.

The fact they made me root for the KGB agents is proof of great writing.

Ending was pitch perfect and the garage scene was the most tense 11 minutes of TV you'll ever watch.


Agreed, the finale was the GOAT. Then after the garage scene, it holds the tension through 15 minutes of virtually no dialogue.

I’m probably just a nerd but I low key enjoy the ritual of tying off at the bridge, even take the extra time to weave the loose ends into the adjacent string’s knot. I can’t play for shite but my string jobs are immaculate. :lol:
NCIS has statutory rights to execute warrants. FBI agents are not going to conduct an offensive maritime operation to board a hostile freighter without assistance, they will partner with naval special warfare. You can read all about this operation next week when some seal publishes a book about it.

That one is fake, read the fine print. It makes up a response past 100k digits.

This one is legit up to 200M digits. Any random number < 7 digits will have a > 99% probability of existing in the first 200M digits of pi.
