I took the free upgrade. Then after a bit I updated my bios and it killed my license. Microsoft wouldn’t fix it and said I changed my hardware so there was nothing they could do. Still pissed off about that.

About 15 years ago I was promoted to a dept manager position at Walmart. They rented out a conference room at a nearby hotel and had this whole anti union training. I really didn’t think much of it at the time being as young as I was… but it was pretty much just like this poster. Telling us to report if we seen or heard any talk of organization of a union. Kind of shitty of a thing for a company to do now that I looks back on this.

In high school I wanted to be an architect. Graduated and went on to struggling for years working in retail til I finally had enough and went to college. Found out quickly that there was zero demand in my area for that and pivoted to being a mechanical engineer. I now have 13 years of doing that and am glad I went that option as I can go anywhere in the world with this skill set.

I read that about the texture as well. Don’t know about this version but like I said I have a red one and it’s smooth looking just like your picture. Also, my bad… says mine is a caladium.

Looks like a heart to heart plant that I have but mines red. Philodendron Gloriosum

Call it whatever you want. The unlimited piggy bank just needs to stop. They all need to be held accountable for every dollar spent as a start. End the corporate lobbying bullshit and have the government public servants actually serve the public. Not your comment but the one above about centrist shit, I don’t care about the petty squabble of which side does what. They are both bad. I’m not into picking the lesser of two evils.

Another pointless article to distract from the bigger issue. Spending is out of control and collecting this won’t help to pay that down. It’ll only contribute to more spending. Neither side are helping to do anything about it other than lining their own pockets.
