All of the cell providers suck! I’m in a place out in West TX right now where only AT&T has service. No other provider works. This is a popular vacation destination with lots of people, which is all the more frustrating.

But, next month I’ll be in a place where only Verizon and T-Mobile have service, not AT&T.

My solution: I have both AT&T and Verizon service on my iPhone which results in about 95% coverage. And when I don’t have both, the other line shares the active line - right now my Verizon line is using the cellular data on the 5G AT&T line and I’m getting calls like I have real service.

Power supplies in much of the US and part of Canada will be stretched, with demand growing again after two years of pandemic disruptions, according to an annual report. It’s among the most dire assessments yet from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, a regulatory body that oversees grid stability.

I’m confused… because I remember the media and Facebook experts telling me that Texas is the only state with a shitty grid, and demanding that we interconnect with everyone else so the rest of the country could save us.

Maybe I heard that wrong.

I worked in a plant near Houston for a number of years and some knucklehead started shitting in the urinals a couple of times each week. Site never found a pattern for the day or which urinal was used.

Walk in to take a piss and you were greeted with a long brown snake curled up on top of the piss cake.

Toilets were open, stocked, and clean - this MF just preferred to shite in the urinal… or maybe to carry the turd over to the urinal - either way, still nasty.

When I left they were still trying to figure out who it was. Plant manager would try and sneak in multiple times each day to catch someone in the act. Offered up a $200 gift card to whomever ratted the guy out.

What kind of shitty jobs are you people applying for? Every one of my employers (3 in 20 years) did full background checks on all employees.

When I hired on, I had to submit to a social media check, educational check (submit transcripts and degrees - and they still called each of the schools), certification check (submit certificate - and they still called the agency), credit check, multi-state background check, reference check, and previous employment check.

I remember one of the companies that did the work was HireRight.

I did score business class, so maybe I’ll just drink until I can’t feel it.

Because if I had to walk to school uphill both ways, in the snow, these little shits today can ride the bus so I can stay toasty in the house. That’s why.

Go ahead and make reservations at the hospital close to where you are going to stay.

I don’t know the guy, but physically… sure, I would expect a coach to handle business.

Had he whipped them though, every single one of them would have become saints and the world would be crying. He’d be facing charges, lawsuits, death threats, and most certainly, a future of never being able to coach again.
