I had to upgrade my standard ID to a "real" or "enhanced" ID for domestic travel. When I mentioned to a colleague in Colorado, he did not know what I was talking about. So I think this is just a NY thing.

Colleague probably did without realizing it. Pandemic stuff got in the way of the deadline.

Have you ever gone to your bank's online bill pay to pay a couple of utility bills, only to be locked out unless you accept the terms and conditions given in a 127 page Digital Services Agreement that gives no summary or any indication of what is new, as well as a 12 page Online and Mobile E-Sign Disclosure and Consent Agreement?

People who use public transportation and blast music, calls or youtube on their phone without the use of earbuds. What kind of savages have we become?

Any news story which says the following: "X, formerly known as Twitter" or "Twitter, now known as X".
How long does this have to be explained? At some point, let the ignorant look up what "X" is. I follow news and don't need to be re-reminded about this every time a story tangentally references Twitter.

It's the worst and dumbest company rebranding ever and nobody will ever think of it as 'X.'

Looking at Mary Lou Retton's situation really reminds me how sh!tty the U.S. medical system is. I got laid off late 90s. At that time, I was so healthy that I don't even know what the word "sick" is. I didn't buy COBRA. Luckily nothing happened and got another job with health insurance 6 months later. I lost the health insurance for a few months about 6 years ago. Not as healthy as before. I paid for the COBRA. Damn pricy. I may have to do that again within a few months.

She has lobbied against Healthcare reform and is wealthy enough to easily afford coverage and make a choice to be uninsured.

Every day I drive to work and a good 15 miles of it is this two lane highway. I dread this drive beucase there are always these morons who go really slow in the fast lane and will not move. There will be a line of slow cars in the right lane and rather than move over to this lane, the moron will just go slow in the fast lane as a line of cars builds up behind them trying to get by. Drives me nuts. If you want to go slow, just move to the right and go slow with the other people going slow. But why drive slow in the left lane when a constant line of cars want to move faster?
I'm in CA and I will admit I've had my share of road rage but here in this shit state, you have people who get mad when you go around them and then they road rage you. They're offended that you didn't want to go their speed and now you have to suffer their wrath. I hate this state.

I just realized that "Dubs" refers to the Golden State Warriors on ESPN's website. REALLY. "Dubs" is only four letters fewer that Warriors. And it makes no fucking sense. Why, why, why are we seemingly devoted to chopping up the English language. Recently, I seen chicken nuggets called "nugs". Can we call chicken "ch"?
George Orwell is somewhere saying, "See, i told you this would happen. doubleplusgood!"

Today is my day in NYC, which means about a 45 minute train ride and then a ton of walking around to various meetings. Naturally, I walked out without my ear buds today. Now I have nothing but my own thoughts, and the delicate, amber tones of New York traffic to keep me company. I feel dead inside.

Now I have nothing but my own thoughts, and the delicate, amber tones of New York traffic to keep me company. I feel dead inside. Just stop at one of the 47 Duane Reade's between grand central and your office. The train without headphones is bad enough, but if I had to walk the streets without an audio book or a podcast interview with some guy, or a podcast where two idiots argue about their movie opinions I don't agree with, or a podcast about the history of some random thing I have no interest in, or a podcast where a comedian whines that you can't say anything anymore, or a podcast where...I think that's all of them that exist actually... I don't know how I'd make it.

I'm having a tech issue with my work. We have a company Slack workspace to communicate with other departments - I sent details regarding my issue to our tech requests channel. A request that came just before mine was acknowledged by the tech team... a request that came after mine was acknowledged by the tech team... guess which one wasn't?
It's like the world is out to get me, folks.

Doc Rivers & Doris Burke are ESPN's A-squad with Mike Breen... fml. Doc seems to think he's an actual doctor of basketball, & Doris has the enthusiasm of a door mat.

It's been in the high 70s the last couple of days, it'll be that way through Saturday. Then the temps go off a cliff, and it'll be high 30s-low 40s when we take the little guy trick or treating on Tuesday. It's New England; we've had freezing Halloweens, and hot and humid Halloweens. It's just kind of annoying to have a radical temperature change right before the holiday. Hey, as long as it stays cold through December, I'm happy. I want some snow this year.
