Maximum amount her insurance company would pay if she was robbed. She likely had slightly more than a hundred or two. These people are opportunists

I know a lot of cobol gurus. Mostly retired they had the benefit of working with technology that didn’t re-release on an 18 month cycle so they literally had years of experience with it. I hope they kept some of those guys around who know why it was done that way- I start collecting September 2027

Back in the 80’s we used to be able to deduct credit card interest. Of course it wasn’t >23% back then. I’d be happier to get my SALT deductions back

Yeah I question that as well. However I filled out a W4 when I was hired which have the federal government access to my money before it gets to me. Social security and Medicare too.

Home based flocks are susceptible to bird flu. Let’s bring the illness closer to the broader population why don’t we?

I started stealing hotel soap years ago. Multi night stay I’d put the bar I used in a zip lock bag in my shave kit and pack away the refills. Fast forward to the days of 3 pump bottles on the shower wall I reach into my stash and never chance washing with conditioner cause you can’t read the labels

You know there is no plan B for the majority of us who worked 50+ years and contributed to social security and Medicare the entire time. The reality is it’s too late.
I’ve read your stuff for years but what an insensitive post.

There is nothing wrong with ATC in the US that hiring more controllers wouldn’t fix. The system hasn’t really recovered since Reagan fired 11000 striking PATCO controllers in 81. They’ve been short staffed and budget constrained since and still do outstanding work. Tech and AI ain’t fixing this

I don’t understand-why?

Jesus I hope not. I knew back in 83 when Reagan and O’Neil made their grand bargain that social security might not be available when it was time for me to retire so I planned for that. But my healthcare plan starting in 7 months is Medicare. It’s too late for an alternative.
I turn 65 in September

He’s on drugs. When I was on drugs I’d stay up all night saying crazy shit to whoever would listen. But that was before the internet, messaging enabled smartphones and social media.
I thank god no one remembers me from those days.

I watched three of those strip an entire 4 foot high blueberry bush of berries in an instant. Yeah they’re cute until they start eating your breakfast

There’s a misplaced emphasis on read only access as if it makes this alright. They can copy data to those hard drives they brought on site. It’s the privacy, the potential leaks. The issue is why they were given access. Where is the contract, statement of work, timeline or agreed on deliverables.

What happened to standards? This guy by his own admission was an IV heroin addict this who brought a dead bear to Central Park and took a selfie with his hand in its mouth. He’s a kook. As someone who’ll be enrolling in Medicare in 6 months I’m scared shitless of the damage this crackpot could do.
