I assume the politician who started it lives on one side of it and wants it for personal convenience.

I assumed the one on the right was greased and ready to use.

Don’t worry, even if you do know Spanish you won’t know what he is singing. I like him, but kind of does this mumble thing in most songs.

The vegan I knew in college actually warned people about weight gain while she was pushing her veganism on us. “Its hard not to replace everything with carbs” was basically her spiel.

I will upvote any tinydesk link. I love tiny desk, such a good way to discover music if you just let it run in the background while you work or whatever.

Its how I discovered Monsieur Perine and Hobo Johnson and the lovemakers.

Do I take it with water?

Sounds exactly like what you would hear walking past a heavily skunk scented college dorm room.

Its a ridiculous derp bird.

Iphone SE3 is like $130 refurbished, if you’re into iPhones. My partner has it and they have no complaints.

Sounds Pretti Good to me.

Like…?

Don’t take MDMA or cocaine while drinking, it’s toxic and you will likely blackout, especially on the molly. Never take benzos while drinking, it’s a waste of benzos and you will definitely black out and potentially even die.

Hallucinogens generally don’t mix with alcohol, although some people claim LSD and a couple drinks go well together.

Cannabis will intensify your tipsiness when drinking. It is or used to be called being “cross-faded”. If you are going to smoke cannabis and drink, smoke first as it will regulate how much alcohol you consume.

Lastly it’s important to remember how alcohol works. The fun chemicals in your brain get produced as your BAC increases. To have the most fun, less negative side effects you stretch your alcohol out over your drinking period. So let’s say you plan to have six drinks over 4 hours. You will enjoy the experience much more if you have two drinks for the first 3 hours, rather than taking 4 shots in the first hour and then two drinks after it. Once the BAC stops rising the fun stops and you are left with mostly negatives of dizziness, fogginess and possibly nausea.

I am not even sure if they do. They may just be dumb or too lazy to walk over to their water bowl.

Yeah. I don’t know how long it lived, at least a year since then, after that who knows. Rabbits aren’t very long lived to begin with, and even less so when they sell them at the fair as tiny bunnies not neutered or spayed. Once you know how much work they are it seems kind of criminal.

My cats will drink flat soda or energy drinks if you leave them out. My dog hunts down chocolate knowing it will make her puke. Animals are weird.

I once had a friend in school who had a rabbit. He took the vegetables off his burger and threw it in the cage with a couple strips of bacon. The rabbit sat on the tomato, devoured the bacon and then nibbled the lettuce a little bit. I still wonder to this day how a rabbit even digests bacon, let alone gets an appetite for it.

Damn seems to be down

Give their NPR Tiny Desk concert a go. This is one of their 3 songs in the set.

Your comment reminds me of these lyrics from Hobo Johnson and The Lovemakers song “Sex and The City”

[Intro] Caller: “Okay so the first one, I do have to ask. - Would you be able to pay the balance in full today? $691?”

• Frank: “No I can’t”
• Caller: “Okay, no problem. So what we can do is break that up into three monthly payments.”

[Verse 1]

• Beautiful people only live in downtown
• And midtown and not around where I stay
• Is it their brain that really matters
• Or their character that flatters
• Or dependant on their beautiful face
• But if you’re beautiful from birth, do you really have the courage
• Of a woman picked on for girth
• Ever since she was a kid, and you know how kids work
• Up until she was a full-grown adult
• Now I’m not saying that it’s really smooth sailing
• But guys, being nice doesn’t hurt
• And I’m not saying that they’re perfect
• I’m just saying that they’re different
• And the difference is they love to wear skirts

[Chorus]

• Sex in the city
• Probably feels really really nice
• With hands placed on faces and twinkles in their eyes
• Sex in the city
• Probably looks really really great with
• A girl that’s like a ten and a guy that’s 'bout an eight
• Sex in the city
• Sounds like it takes place on stage
• Both moaning in key while Marvin Gaye sings
• Sex in the city
• Candles smell like great jobs and promising careers
• My candles smell like fear my roommates may hear

[Verse 2]

• I have really bad back-ne
• It looks like the gosh-dang night sky
• And I promise I’m gonna get it taken care of
• So I’m not a baby maker looker, but maybe I am
• To a woman that really loves me for
• Who I am
• …Or maybe who I’m not
• Either way, it’s getting bothered and hot—gross!
• Hey missus, would you take me to a world
• Where nothing else exists except
• The contents of our soul
• And there we’ll talk
• Y’know, or Instragram DM works too (whatup!)
• If I look like Brad Pitt mixed with bit of Jake Gyllenhaal
• And a bowl of David Hasselhoff I wouldn’t be here at all
• I’d be in Los Angeles
• Or at your mom’s house eating all the sandwiches!

[Chorus]

• Sex in the city
• Probably feels really really nice
• With hands placed on faces and twinkles in their eyes
• Sex in the city
• Probably looks really really great with
• A girl that’s like a ten and a guy that’s 'bout an eight
• Sex in the city
• Sounds like it takes place on stage
• Both moaning in key while Marvin Gaye sings
• Sex in the city
• Candles smell like great jobs and promising careers
• My candles smell like fear my roommates may hear… and socks

[Outro]

• And whatever freshening spray I use
• Thirty minutes beforehand
• While I was quickly running through my room trying to clean it
• Right, uh? Right, uh? I’m right, uh?
• You think this song’s about to end, is that what you think?

They have 1,334 employees so a lot of it is fringe benefits… 30k for employer contribution of health/dental/vision/FSA&HSA program costs, $5k for sick leave payout costs, $5,250 training/tuition assistance budget. That’s 40,250 per full time employee right there.

If you take the almost 9mil C suite makes and round down to 150 Million and divide by 1,319 employees (subtracting C suite) that’s 113,700 per employee. Now if we withhold the benefits above, that’s $73,450. But we’re not done yet.

1% for workers comp, 6.2% for social security, 7% 401k match, 1.45% medicare, so a total of 15.65%. So we divide our 73,450 by 1.1565 and we are left with an average salary of $63,510.

They also have an additional retirement plan which almost sounds like a pension, but I couldn’t find easy info on. If that’s what it is, then that further reduces the avg salary by 10%. They also offer $2,500 adoption assistance and an EAP program that’s not factored in.
