In that same vein, if FedEx and UPS can't survive as a business without SmartPost and SurePost, using USPS as a last mile deliverer, they shouldn't exist either.

I've shared the story before, I think. Baltimore VA ER, I sat for 12 hours without seeing a doc, after having neurological symptoms presenting stroke-like. Finally flag down a nurse who actually comes back 'in just a minute'. "Bring me papers, I'm going home." "You can't. You haven't seen a doctor." "Exactly why I'm leaving." "You cannot leave." "Ma'am, I can, and I don't think you have enough security to stop me. Please bring me the papers so I can go." I was polite, and made it sound jokey, but whatever happened is done by that loving point, and I'm not dead. gently caress off.

The Memphis VA story is me sitting in there with back pain, worse than usual. The local news station was on, the kind that repeats every 30 minutes. One of their main stories that day was 3 veterans dying waiting in the VA ER over the prior year. I watched that loop for 6+ hours, line never moved, no one was being triaged. There were no doctors working the ER that night. I stormed out, bought a bottle of bourbon and drank the pain away for a few days. gently caress Memphis and their VA.

It may be apocryphal, but I have heard that one of the first things Pakistan did in October of 2001 was to seize checkpoints all along the Durand Line and move them from 100's of meters to kilometers into Afghanistan. What's not apocryphal is that in Pashtunistan they'd been rolling painted boulder border markers back and forth for a hundred years. Lines in the sand. Lines on a map. “If I’d had a bazooka, I could have blown a hole in the wall between us. If I hadn’t killed one or both of us, I could have asked you, ‘What’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like that?’ ”

Meanwhile, in Australia, guy obviously went on a price-matching spree to buy a bbq, then to BP to pick up a gas bottle. All of which backs up what I've been trying to tell people for years, charcoal is the superior fuel because it doesn't superspread covid.

Do stores that sell grills down there not sell gas at the store too? If I go to Home Depot, I can buy gas or charcoal grills, and appropriate fuel, in one stop. If I go to walmart, I can buy the beef and chicken, in addition to the grill/fuel (walmart can suck my balls). I mean, the propane tanks are stored out front in cages, charcoal is just on a pallet in an aisle or on an endcap.

There were no doctors working the ER that night. loving Memphis VA. Not long after I got back from Iraq I sorta shut down, failed all my classes, and started considering suicide. I called a crisis hotline who forwarded my info to a dude at the Memphis VAMC, Arthur Johnson. He called me the next morning, made me an appointment, which I canceled because I decided I wasn't up to driving 90 minutes to talk to a stranger about my problems. Then as time went on I decided maybe I needed help after all. So I reached out to him via email. No response. I followed up for months, including by telephone. Nothing. Arthur Johnson was and is a patient advocate at the Memphis VAMC. That he's still there as a patient advocate really frosts my rear end, because a couple years later I sent him an email that said "despite your best efforts, I am still alive and I intend to remain that way, but thanks for making it clear that the VA would prefer veterans go away and leave you alone." I also forwarded the email to his boss and everyone in his office. To this day I've never heard a peep from him. bulletsponge13 posted:I've shared the story before, I think.

Charcoal you can buy on site yeah, but liquid/gas fuels need to be bought at a specialised outlet which is generally either a gas station or a specific fuel station. Don't ask me why

Non-VA hospital fun: In college I was sicker than I’d been before in my life, fever of 103, couldn’t walk on my own, spots in vision. My friends took me to the hospital, they took my temp, put me in a room, hooked up a heart rate monitor and then left. After 10 hours or so they finally said they don’t know what’s wrong, but a lot of people were super hosed up by whatever this is, so they were just putting on heart rate monitors on people to see if they’d code and having them drink water in the meantime. I guess I lived but lol.

She was nice, but very into turquoise and southwestern motifs. I've ceded Memphis to the ex-wife, she can have it. The place is just misery wrapped in racism, wrapped in a wet blanket on a 100°F day. Haven't woke up with a sweat-filled rear end crack since I left. That's reason enough to never go back right there. Platystemon posted:You really pay for convenience with those.

Sure that’s not also construction prices rather than WFH “pushing” people? Housing market is weird right now due to construction costs and low supply of new homes. A lot of boring, not particularly hot neighborhoods are seeing 10-20% spikes almost overnight, and the national median home price is rising faster than it has since 2006. A whole lot more going on than some WFH.

Right now my house is worth about 135k in materials and labor (or was before material costs spiked). The land it’s on, according to the city, is worth about 300k. The house across the street, which does not have parking but does have nicer counter tops, just sold for 650k.

FrozenVent posted:The cost of the actual building is only a tiny part of the cost of real estate. Sure. But: if stuff is not being built due to shortages and price spikes builders would rather wait out, it exacerbates price spikes because demand grows without inventory growing to match. Building slowdown is but one part of the overall housing price increase. WFH is not the reason we’re in the most rapid housing price increase since 2006. And in more median-priced areas (180-300k), building materials are proportionately a much higher baked in cost. So a construction slowdowns means more to a moderate sized town with a pretty generic real estate market with room to grow than it does for an urban hotspot like SF or whatever.

I got 5 tanks in three different sizes. Filling them up is super cheap compared to exchanging them. I would think at least having a Buddy heating system with a small 1 gallon tank would be good for everyone in case of power loss in winter. The little heaters have low oxygen cutoff and can even be used in a tent. I use the adapter to a bigger tank i can place outside a window and stuff the crack with a towel.

Well my numbers were off on the Gray media thing, they bought 17 more stations, not 100. https://deadline.com/2021/05/gray-t...nal-1234748687/ My local CBS is a Gray station, they've run off all the good talent over the past few years. Their weather department ia pretty decent, but they're news anchor turnover just keeps getting worse. /\ fortunately, power only goes out here when someone smacks something important with their car.

Five days ago, the Bundeswehr sent a crisis team and several shipments of respirators and oxygen-generators/bottling stations over there, but with the scale of the situation, that was barely a drop in the ocean. And now they have a loving water shortage.

Those working from home no longer have to commute. Their small apartment was great when they worked in an office, now they need office space in the apartment. It gets crazy if they have a SO/roommate. People were/are buying homes based on WFH policies that they believe will be the norm moving forward. I have been at my current job for over a year now, still have never seen my desk at the "office". I have bought 3 whole tanks of gas since the beginning of the pandemic, and that is only because I need to move my car occasionally. If I was a single guy living in a one bedroom alone, I would consider moving as well.
