I work in the Federal Government, and this isn't true. You have alternative work schedules (4/10s, 5/4/9, maxiflex, etc.) but you're still going to work 80 hours unless you take leave. You gain annual leave every pay period and the amount is dependent on how long your federal service has been. But when you start (1-3 years) you only get 4 hours per pay period.

Maybe you're seeing people who have long federal service (15 years) that gain 8 hours/pay period use their leave. That's their choice but they're still working 40 hours on paper regardless.

Lol. The PPP loans is where all the money disappeared to. Yes people got some money but it was spent for necessities, and to be honest it wasn't even that much. Some business got hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars that the government is still trying to recover which they probably never will.

Yep. I've never left Counterstrike and with CS2 that came back, friends from when I played when I was in college have come back to play so we've been playing. Story wise, I could get into it but there just isn't enough time and what time you have you're going to sacrifice sleep.

It's all about getting old.

Hah. I'm still running my MacBook Air from 2013.

Yeah! That's what I said when I saw the icon. It's just for Halloween though.

I guess my question is do you need a watch? Are you thinking of flipping the watch? If you can wait, you can probably get another deal during November/ black Friday sales but it's not guaranteed and I don't know if it'll be better. If you have the funds, you should get it just to ease your mind because Google is saying they're going to support phones for 7 years... (I don't think so, but who knows).

I mean, I'm not about people dying, but being so fucking old and holding onto power with a rotted hand is fucking tiring. I'm glad she's gone and look forward to the future and hopefully with someone with more progressive views.

Yeah, so what does he want to do with nuclear material along with all of the research around the country? I don't think people know that Energy is responsible for our nuclear stockpile. Not Defense.

“We’re moving so fast to electric vehicles, we’re just making the problems worse,” said state Rep. Jim Gooch (R), the longtime chair of Kentucky’s House energy committee. Those problems are multiplying, he added, as public officials look to electrify government fleets — especially transit systems and school districts.

“I certainly don’t want to put my kids on a school bus that’s electric. I just don’t want to do it,” Gooch said. “And I’ll fight in any way I can to make sure that that’s not something Kentucky’s doing.”

What? Why would you not want your kids going on a bus that has zero exhaust? School busses that use diesel straight smell like crap and it's absolutely hot af in the south. After reading this quote I was like, this world is so fucked.
