I know its someone’s grandma or granpa but 924,000 is an exciting number.

I can almost smell the Gen X coming off your grim resignation to boomer die off as a new beginning. We’ve waited impotently for so long.

Get the blink upgrade that lets you break stun, huge help for the stun locking.

Those nickels comprise most of my wages.

We can’t wait to find out!

My work let all the contractors know that they can comvert or their contracts will not be renewed again. I know at least one guy that would be taking a 40k pay cut.

I was just hired on along with another guy. We found out that one of our team members who has been with the company for 10 years is making less than the new hires.

Another oddity of the situation: I worked with her in the same department 10 years ago as new hires. I left the company to double my salary and 10 years later came back and was hired at the same salary I had left for (took a pay cut for a better life).

I get so pissed off on her behalf. 8 years of mysoginistic managers screwing her over for raises, and now that she finally has a good manager, his hands are tied to give her a decebt, an deserved, raise or even salary parity with new-hires.

Noodled!

The vision of Open Source Ecology is a world of collaborative design – for a transparent and inclusive economy of abundance.

An open source, libre economy is an efficient economy which increases innovation by open collaboration. To get there, OSE is currently developing a set of open source blueprints for the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) – a set of the 50 most important machines that it takes for modern life to exist – everything from a tractor, to an oven, to a circuit maker. In the process of creating the GVCS, OSE intends to develop a modular, scalable platform for documenting and developing open source, libre hardware – including blueprints for both physical artifacts and for related open enterprises.

“How do you know she is a lich?”

“Well she turned me into a newt!”

“A newt?”

“I got better”

Yeah, what Track_Shovel said: fuck you!

Edit: not sure why they said it but I wanted to be in agreement, too!

Because most of the time and energy are spent trying to hold on and not be tossed off by centripetal force?
