CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk
Whooaaa oh oh. Big Man! He's just gonna go and get him a Tuscaloosa Dumpling. Like he's got a birth rite to it. "Look at me, Granny. I'm gonna have me a job and respect from my peers. Just 'cause I say so."

Agreed. Also I use Coinbase Wallet and like it just fine.

Wordle [spoilers inevitable but discouraged]
My go-to is to start with "TRAIN" as you get a good feel for the common "R" and "T", you get a semi-common in "N" and two vowels (A and I) to start off with.

What in the world is going on with BTC today? Where is GruHorn when you need him?

Theranos' Death Rattle
I went and dug it up. Actually what happened is she settled with the SEC before criminal charges were pursued: "Holmes had already settled federal fraud charges by the Securities and Exchange Commission, agreeing to a $500,000 penalty and a 10-year ban on working as an officer or director of a public company. She did not admit or deny the charges in the settlement. Balwani faces those charges in court." “I think it’s a pretty unique set of remedies,” said Steven Peikin, the co-director of the SEC’s enforcement division. “I think it’s a particularly meaningful one . . . in Silicon Valley, where the founders of start-up companies like this obviously value the concept of control.” Theranos has been in free fall since 2015, when a Wall Street Journal investigation revealed problems at the company. Regulators uncovered deficiencies and banned Holmes from owning or operating a laboratory for two years. A lawyer for Holmes declined to comment. Peikin would not say whether Holmes or Balwani could face criminal charges. [Spoiler Alert: they did face them.]

Bucs WR Antonio Brown Rips Off Uniform and Walks Off Field Mid Game
The most idiocracy thing about this isn’t his statement, which is well written and compelling, but the Twitter comments blowing up with everyone saying “too long, I can’t read all that”.

Beat the drum slowly; play the fife lowly
Is there some confusion?

don't look up
The one thing we can account for is the advent of technology and social media. I think the movie did a good job of exposing tech/social media as an atrocity and the downfall of society— nay, life.

White collar workers do you dress for work?
chain smoking and day drinking has an edgy coolness to it, wouldn't you say? Anyways, little boxes made of ticky tacky, a pink and green one, and all that.

Wait a minute.. don't you have to show proof of jab in NYC to go anywhere public? So now he got the shot? Just got back from Manhattan last weekend-- like the other guy said, you could show pic of card on your phone and didn't even look at the ID's, just waving people through.

Lobo clearly hates the Patagonia vest for some reason, but it has been an acceptable office standard for as long as most of us can remember at this point. But Lobo, I have good news. It's going to be fall out of favor one day, and probably soon as the Patagonia is actually not aligned with many of the values of the Patagonia bro army (and I think Patagonia made news a few months ago about ceasing the corporate branding for yearly kick-offs and conferences, in part because of this misalignment of values). Also LOL at the idea that anyone who had to work at KPMG would actively advertise that fact on a vest instead of trying to just mumble and deflect the conversation "Huh? I work for a big 4" and trail off "but What do YOU do, you seem super interesting!" Edit to add: I was wrong, the reason they aren't doing it is for sustainability reasons: https://www.patagonia.com/transitioning-away-from-logos.html- Theranos' Death Rattle
Also wasn't part of her pre-trial conditions that she can't be a CEO? I wonder if that would extend to parole conditions.- Theranos' Death Rattle
I’ve read because she has no criminal history it won’t be too harsh but time will be served, indeed.- Theranos' Death Rattle
Low key this defense attorney/team has done an outstanding job, it seems, no matter the end result. They took a steaming turd-burger and at worst, have given the jury heartburn about the case. At best, they will skate on some charges.- Bucs WR Antonio Brown Rips Off Uniform and Walks Off Field Mid Game
Also makes sense when Mike Evans went over and asked "WTF mate?", it stands to reason AB told him BA had just cut him and that's why he walks off.- 24 Hours in a Waffle House
You have got to tell this story. How did drinking 100 beers over 3 days cause a pinched nerve.- 24 Hours in a Waffle House

Wow that is hilarious and horrible. Not my experience, like, at all. I wonder if this is an industry specific or geographic specific thing or if it's a culture thing at the hand full of orgs I have worked for (granted, a small sample size as I've had decent tenure at a couple of places the last 20 years). After more review, odds are nearly 100% that you are an engineer and/or work in an engineering firm.- 2022 Fatass Thread of Dominance
I feel like this is a good route for me where I'm like 8-10 pounds away from ideal weight but more interested in the sculpting and aesthetic journey that follows once you've gotten your weight/body ratio tuned, because it becomes more about the exercise program than pure calories/diet.- Dallas Cowboys 2021 Regular Season Thread -- Money, Masks, & Masochism
I'm on record saying that I think Dallas beats AZ like a drum when/if we play again. But am I wrong in hearing that the 49ers are not a lock and if they lose to LAC and NO wins, then they will get the last playoff spot?- White collar workers do you dress for work?
I think this nails it. The only thing I would add is: -I work for one of those organizations who sniff their own farts and we love our own swag, so it's definitely acceptable to wear one of the dozens of company merch for all internal meetings regardless of the stakeholders. - When we do off-sites in person, you can definitely tell the bottom tier employees because they've either forgotten how to pivot and dress like a professional or are super junior and are like Bain and fully embraced being born in the darkness that is Zoom-first life.- 2022 Fatass Thread of Dominance
Any had any experience with hiring a personal trainer like actors do to prepare for roles/movies? I've thought that might be a good investment...- Dallas Cowboys 2021 Regular Season Thread -- Money, Masks, & Masochism
I heard Micah tweaked a leg or something late 2Q which slowed him down a bit rest of the game. Can anyone confirm? - White collar workers do you dress for work?
