Pretty view, but goddamn it gets
sitting in these windows in the morning with the sun beating in. Figured out I can lower the shade so I can actually see my monitors, but it’s still toasty. I’ll need to bring in a desk fan tomorrow.

Yeah I’m sure there’s some regulation for what they can set them to here at the Port. The building in general feels comfortable, just my desk these last two mornings with the sun hitting me was rough.

Strip to posing trunks, jump on the desk and hit a most muscular pose.
That is pleasant!
I am personally going for the company just paying for my phone and sticking with one. NETGEAR isn't huge and I don't see any IT overlords stalking me, but that being said, I keep my old iPhone 8 around to just connect to WiFi for pron needs, no cell plan required.
Fortunately, my customers don't really call after hours much and almost never on weekends. Teams and Outlook are pretty constant, but I just turn off notifications for them in personal mode on my iTrude and it goes into that from 7PM-7AM and on weekends. I also save some dough.

Forgot my oil at home. I’ll wear the trunks under my chinos tomorrow and make sure everyone knows what’s up.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Wed Apr 30, 2025 3:08 pmStrip to posing trunks, jump on the desk and hit a most muscular pose.

One of my cop buddies in Seattle gives me some stories here and there. Here’s one from today (he sent a voice message and this is the iPhone’s transcription it came up with. Some minor errors, but you get the gist):
This one's actually pretty wild actually happened before I got to work this morning but in about 11 o'clock this Porsche Cayenne, which, if you don't know what that is, it's like the SUV Porsche get involved in a pursuit with officers, and they spike strip out which means the tires are just deflated so he's you know driving on the you know rims pretty much But yeah, he's fucking stressed in the car so much. The transmission actually blows up and it goes through the floorboard of the car and I'm not even kidding his right leg literally like a gear and a chain like literally just fucking sliced off his leg between his knees ankle on his right foot, and then on his left leg it just took out pretty much Achilles all the way to the front of it almost motherfucker literally lost his legs running from the police absolutely wild.

When you floor it in a Porsche Cayenne… and it floors you back.

Holy shit! are they sure spike strip didn't tangle in the driveshaft or something? transmissions don't typically blow up like that at stock power levels, and they don't have chains long enough to get in the car like that....SAWCE wrote: ↑Wed Apr 30, 2025 10:43 pm One of my cop buddies in Seattle gives me some stories here and there.

Sounds like it was the transfer case which does typically have a gear chain in it.golftdibrad1 wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 7:10 amHoly shit! are they sure spike strip didn't tangle in the driveshaft or something? transmissions don't typically blow up like that at stock power levels, and they don't have chains long enough to get in the car like that....SAWCE wrote: ↑Wed Apr 30, 2025 10:43 pm One of my cop buddies in Seattle gives me some stories here and there.

Your right, that would make more sense. Could also see it going kaboom from wildly mismatched front vs rear speeds from driving on rims on some wheels vs tires on the others.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 7:49 amSounds like it was the transfer case which does typically have a gear chain in it.golftdibrad1 wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 7:10 am

That was my thought too. It’s an AWD vehicle so there’s likely some sort of clutch to take up speed differential but it might have exceeded its capability or simply overheated from being worked at redline with huge mismatches.golftdibrad1 wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 8:02 amYour right, that would make more sense.

Wow. I mean, what kind of ticket would that be, a couple hundred bucks? People are insane.
It's very sad and also very amusing all at once.

Dude, the ambulance chasers here are absolutely ridiculous.
A few years back I think one had leased out about 70-80% of the billboards in Baton Rouge.
This was one of his actual billboards;

There's IG accounts, and FB accounts making fun of him.
Also, he has a white 458 Spyder.

True… I’d imagine that Poorche’s legal team would easily argue that the product was not being used as intended though and it would be dismissed. Or whatever the legal jargon is. I’ll defer to Breh there.
