Webhosting for my band suddenly increased prices with 300%. I expected a little raise, but this is insane. Needless to say, I quitted the hosting and am trying to get a new one that is better for it's customers.
 
Snow storms causing gas leaks at workplace due to weight of snow on roof (HVAC). Gas company says it's safe to be in building now, as I'm turning on and off numerous servers and laptops for testing. Nervous, you bet.

Salesman at work that are getting naggy about having some server system boards repaired (5 of them) but not providing a testbed system to plug them into and not having anything in stock to put one together. Am i just supposed to pull one out of my arse or what? Maybe just waive a magic wand and say abra-cadabra, hoccus-pocus, nothing up my sleeve or anywhere else to test these things.

TRIGGER WARNING: Actual feminist foolery.
Yesterday when I got home from work, a neighbor had gotten her car stuck at the bottom of her driveway. It's been snowy here this winter and the first real thaw of spring is just starting. The side streets are still deeply rutted with thick ice with giant water-filled potholes at the base of every driveway. She was stuck and could not go in or out, tires spinning uselessly on the wet ice. This woman, who proudly signals her virtue by staking a Black Lives Matter sign and All are Welcome Here sign in her front yard, politely but firmly refused all aid offered to her by passing male motorists. We counted at least six, including my teen-aged son. However, when a young woman stopped to offer help, she was more than happy to accept her help. Needless to say, the car remained stuck. Finally, after much hand-wringing, the pair of women accepted the assistance of a couple of guys who were bold enough not to take "no" for an answer. Result, car was unstuck, and my wife's entertainment was ended.
So, "All are welcome here - males need not apply."
The species is doomed.
 
Funny, seems like many of those who speak so often of tolerance are the least tolerant amoungst us when it comes right down to it.
 
I had a run-in with a couple women behind me in the checkout line the other day at the pharmacy.
Long story short, they took objection to my red ballcap and several popular social justice catchwords were tossed at me, including the one female slapping the hat off my head.
Not going to get any more political than this, but the long story short, they assumed my hat was a "Make America Great Again" hat and were making a recording of the encounter.

It's clear they were baiting me in the hopes of getting some internet cred...but in the end, they got hauled away for assault AND they discovered that not all red hats are "evil".

The trigger hat in question is pictured here. While I don't drink Budweiser, I do wear the hat on occasion, as it was a gift to me from my long-time friend Ryan, who was known here on the forum as Redbeard.

 
Is she a California transplant?
 
Definitely have the swamp donkeys face charges. That's what those pig feces would do to you.
 
Fortunately the feminists don't breed. They rely on converts. I enjoy telling those women with hyphenated last names that they now have two men's names and most surnames come from what the man did. No one is named Nancysdaughter or Janesdaughter. I of course am told I am rude and obnoxious. I have been so for a long time as I heard it from my sisters and occasionally my mother.
