    Oh, come on, Jason. Our "wonderful" :rolleyes :vomit governor has only changed the date five times now. The actions have nothing to do with the actual data.  BTW, there's yet another press conference planned for today at 3:00. 🙁

    Hmm, and it's interesting because listening to the radio right now, it sounds like she might be announcing the whole state gets to unlock more this weekend...

    Maybe the "unlock the state" crowd should've tried a little rioting.

    OK, I'd like to apologize for getting political here.

    Not a bad thing, she is actually getting to do the internship with the FBI she was supposed to do last summer this summer since she didn't get the opportunity last summer because her clearance wasn't favorably adjudicated until a month ago.  And she gets to do it here instead of having to pack up and move to Virginia and live with her sister for 2 months then move back here.

    Hmm, think maybe she could find my entry in NICS and tweak it to allow me to get full auto firearms without a background check?

    /KIDDING!

    The U.S. Congress decided (wisely for once) that they wanted people to want to stay home without worrying about the bills. So they authorized an extra $600.00 per (I think) unemployment check to keep people self-isolating during the pandemic.

    Of course, the Republicans in power (to separate them from the Republicans who got kicked out for being sensible people) promptly decried this saying people wouldn't want to go back to their jobs (which was the point because PANDEMIC) and are now trying to undermine it by telling people they can't get unemployment if they are offered a job and refuse it due to being worried about getting sick.

    Which makes absolute sense if one is a sadist and wants to make money off the suffering of those in or near poverty, and none at all for those who actually have empathy.

    SET @RANT = OFF;

    I understand the rant, however, without the pandemic refusing a job while get unemployment was reason to lose unemployment.

    "It Depends".  IIRC, several states, including Michigan, state that you don't have to take a job that is seriously (and I do mean seriously) below what you used to make.  For an example, someone that has good skills in IT wouldn't be required to accept a minimum wage job.  It's a bit of a touchy situation but you can refuse a job without losing unemployment under certain non-health related situations.

    When I was getting unemployment it didn't seem to be an issue as I seem to remember you were only required to apply to x number of jobs per time period (the exact rate escapes me right now), so the key was to just apply to jobs you were willing to accept.

    The job I finally got was probably more job than I deserved honestly LOL

  • The employment and unemployment situation is fouled up.  Go figure.

    My daughter in law is actually taking home more money now than when she works because of the 600.00 in extra benefits.  She is supposed to go back to work next week.

    Another friend can go back to work, but the day care did not re-open until today, and because of the additional precautions they have to take, the day care had a lottery to see who get's in and who doesn't.  She lost.  So, she has no day care.  She lives in a pretty rural area, so the number of day care centers available is limited, and none of them have openings.

  • Lordy... there's a "bot" running with the handle of "Stanley" and it's posting spam every 5 minutes.  Between that and another bot that was active only for a while, I'll bet I've deleted 40 or more spams.  Someone should give me the privs to lock the buggers out. (hint).

    Speaking of machine learning... the anti-spam bot on this site needs a we bit of help.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    either give privs to some of the hardcore people here or implement a rule on the site whereby any user that gets more than X posts reported gets blocked from posting.

    last 12 hours were quite bad on spam

  • And now, how to put the brakes on a migration project...

    Break your wrist on a bicycle ride so you only have one hand to type with and no immediate backup person to help out...

    Yeah, I managed to do one heck of a number on my wrist, thankfully not my "strong" hand, but still...

    Try doing all your typing with one hand...

    I have cats who don't care if I'm in the middle of something important.  They demand to be petted NOW.  I've gotten fairly good at typing with one hand and petting with the other.  Now try it with a keyboard layout that doesn't match what's printed on the keys.  (I use the Dvorak keyboard layout rather than the standard QWERTY.)
