I don’t understand why I can’t see this on my instance, but I can on yours. Awesome picture (and jay)!

These look pretty adorable.

Colkegan from Santa Fe Spirits in pretty interesting. NM is blue for now.

Blind horses are so handsy… We had a blind pony as kids and found he did better with stuffed animals tied in the barn. We slept with them a couple days before hand and it changed his behavior a lot.

They are cancelling, effectively, many other things, too. Many of us have required ongoing training to do our jobs. We cannot travel for anything. So many levels of safety are at risk.

A great example of how these folks do not care about things unless it happens to them. I am glad they are getting the vaccine, but I hope they push their “network” to do the same.

Totally misunderstood the headline until I read the article. I work for the federal government, and most folks in my small town have the attitude that “they aren’t coming after jobs here, just people in DC or higher levels.” It is incredibly hard to change these perceptions, even when things DO affect folks at the local level. People can make excuses for almost anything 😑

It is great basin, but none of those places 🙂

Unfortunately there is a long history in the US of fudging unemployment numbers. Maybe not common, but it happens. This seems more like the Nixon deal (shocker).

In theory it could reduce the budget

It really is a dog and pony show. It looks good to certain people, but it doesn’t pencil out, especially long term as you mention.

Really glad she has you to work with her! I’m not really familiar with barn manners but it sounds like a fun session.

At this point I am not sure if I am glad I switched to SAVE or I wished I hadn’t 🤷‍♂️ probably doesn’t matter.

Are there alternatives to Nine? I’ve used that for several years for my personal email because of exchange, but it has had issues the last couple of years. Not open source as far as I know.

The last few paragraphs describe exactly why the Democratic party is in shambles. Essentially, they just expect people to keep coming back. Kamala Harris had that saying she said about we’re not going back, and the Democratic party shouldn’t. Not that she is with the future, tho. Move ON! Get with the program.

That’s interesting to hear. I remember that from when I worked for them approximately… a long time ago, and sometimes cut fabric, but their stores were different then. I imagine they will be the option for many folks anyways, but even more so now.

I confess to not being in many Michael’s… I had wondered if they could buy up what Joann will likely liquidate but of course I imagine they are operating on a similarly strained budget. A smaller footprint would make it totally unrealistic unless they swapped stores.

Ya unfortunately Joann’s really was the big chain for that. We bought my niece a starter sewing machine for Xmas at one last year. Michael’s has some stuff, maybe they can fill the gap. Hobby Lobby can burn.

It’s hyperpersonalized /s

I am in no position to say what Merz will be for Germany, but talk of teamwork amongst Europe is good.

This is just hearsay from another federal employee, but word is they were terminated for performance issues (that almost certainly did not exist). I’m not sure if that makes a difference, but thought I would share it.
