Sucks about your dog. But great on the shelter for doing that.
Still missing mine every single day. Been 7 months now.
No, it's serious. She is the type of person that likes the thermostat way warmer than my kid likes.
She is also introverted, but I wouldn't call her cold.
Currently, I usually WFH on Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri and go into work on Wednesdays.
I went in to work today because I took tomorrow off to go to Nate's game at SUNY Potsdam.
My wife is WFH today. She just texted me to take the dog out because he's whining and she's in a meeting.
She completely forgot I was 30 minutes away.

This tariff pause just made a whole lot of people a shit ton of money me thinks.I mean, I get that it's your brand to push subtle and not so subtle parts of your political views into things, so here's one that actually has all of the crooks at the capitol listed, not just the one you don't like:

Not even looking into the crypto allegations, I would expect that's part of what is going on.

Yup. And there was a buying spike 20 minutes before the announcement. Definitely not suspicious like insider trading was happening or anything like that....

When we first moved to Texas years ago, I was at a Walmart shopping around 8pm on a Saturday night.
A group of younger guys were stealing goods, and bolted out the front door. I think the Walmart security had alerted police because they got there quick…. But not quick enough to catch everyone that quick.
When I walked out I saw the entire group laying facedown on the pavement handcuffed. I said to a Walmart employee I passed by “boy, the police got here fast.”
She pointed to an old lady talking to police. Apparently, she was walking out around d the same time, and when she saw what was happening, she draw her gun on them and told them to get down. Caught all of them.
Welcome to Texas

Things of got weird in my life. My roommate suggested I move out (for the fifth time), and take everything of mine when I do. Which is fine, but literally everything in here is mine. Other than the TV and provided fridge and stove, it’s all mine. The two couches and chair in the living room, dinner table and chairs, all beds and dressers, chest freezer, even the pots and pans are mine. The living room drum set is mine. The floor model A/C is mine. So what exactly does he think he’s getting better off with?

It's poppin' off at the University that owns my hospital:
'Dear University Community,
We are writing to share that the University is taking immediate action to support our international students and scholars who in recent days have begun facing actions by federal authorities that jeopardize their status as members of our academic community. As has been the case at other institutions of higher education, we have learned that the visas and other legal status of a number of students and recent graduates have been revoked.
We are deeply troubled by the escalation of immigration enforcement activity toward our international students—actions that were taken without communication with the University.
As of early this week, we know that five current Rochester students and six recent graduates have had their student visas revoked. And of those eleven, nine have had their records terminated in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), maintained by the Department of Homeland Security.
We are committed to helping students, faculty, and staff navigate the uncertainty caused by the new immigration enforcement, working to help provide resources to affected individuals as well as to those who are anxious about their immigration status.
As part of our efforts to prepare for and respond to this year’s executive orders and federal directives, we have established a set of University-wide working groups to prepare for this kind of scenario. As part of that scenario planning focused on immigration:
Given the current complexities and uncertainties of the immigration environment, ISO strongly encourages careful consideration of potential risks before finalizing any international travel plans. Please see ISO’s updated travel and visa guidance.
To further support our community, we have published FAQs regarding U.S. Immigration (ICE) Enforcement. The resource compiles advice to help guide students should a federal law enforcement agency contact you regarding the enforcement of immigration laws. While this guidance is not a substitute for legal advice, we hope it will be valuable to many in our community who are seeking information and support on this important topic.
In addition, we are working in close partnership with our national associations. The American Council on Education, along with 15 higher education associations, sent a letter this week to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem requesting a briefing to better understand agency “policy and planned actions relative to international students and scholars. We want to reiterate that our University is deeply enriched and strengthened by our international students, faculty, and staff. We have a long legacy of welcoming students and scholars from all over the world, enrolling our first international students three years after our founding in 1850.
We take great pride in the accomplishments of our students and what they go on and do with their lives. Just as an example, so far, in the 21st century, four of our alumni have won Nobel Prizes, and two of them were international students. Of those two, Canadian-born Donna Strickland (Nobel 2018) won for her research as a graduate student here under the direction of faculty member Gerard Mourou, a French-born and educated laser scientist. And at the highest leadership level, our Board of Trustees has benefited from the perspectives of our alumni board members born or educated outside the United States.
There is absolutely no question that we would not be the university we are without our international students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
We will continue to keep you updated on developments as we work to ensure our international students and scholars have the resources and support they need. As we collectively continue to negotiate the challenges and uncertainty confronting our institution from the federal government, we want to thank everyone in our community for your commitment and perseverance. By remaining true to our values and pursuing our mission, we can and will move forward.
Sincerely,'
Bolded the interesting parts.

- ISO staff are immediately reaching out to impacted students to connect them with resources to evaluate their best enrollment and legal options.
- In partnership and collaboration with University Student Life and academic support units, ISO is also standing by to provide resources to international students and scholars who may have questions or concerns.

Officially on vacation. Have some homework to do today so I can submit it, and packing tomorrow morning before leaving tomorrow afternoon. Man does it feel good to finally have it here. Time away and off the grid is going to be so good for me.
I really, really hate mowing the lawn.

They were on the rise when the lad was on the local travel squad in HS. Hawaiian-style roll slider sandwiches were also a big hit.
