Turned out the installers had put the wrong fuses into both, and it was good enough to handle the first few sets of racks that went in but we were the straw on the (improperly built) camel's back.

About a year or two back (shortly after the GOP retook the House) our government office quietly rebranded a lot of things back to more generic HR language (since that's what most of the quote unquote DEI stuff actually was) and I feel like that was pretty loving prescient on their part. Like, if the previous nomenclature was still in place we literally wouldn't have a government HR office right now.

Putting my money on an overseas incident with an ally that the White House can't hush up, like getting completely smashed and picking a fight at a NATO summit.

Torrannor posted:The president of Colombia folded though... At least from what I've been able to put together, Colombia is sending a plane to transport deportees but it sounds like it's just to pick up the ~80 deportees that were diverted to Honduras after they were refused permission to land. This was spun by a few outlets as ''Colombia caves!" but seems like Colombia is holding firm on all future flights from the US. Some additional background on how this is a bigger Latin American thing: https://bsky.app/profile/whiskeynachos.bsky.social/post/3lgocqpjhks2a posted:Let's recap the timeline for those of you who haven't been following. And Mexico is also refusing deportation flights so there's a good possibility of this thing snowballing quickly.

They're just running through the ICU pulling electrical plugs out of the wall at this point. As much as there's the assumption that the GOP will stand by at let him do whatever he wants, he's burning *a lot* of political capital fast and blowing up things that even some GOP lawmakers and constituencies care about. Wildcard is this plus the China AI thing speed run the stockmarket into a sell-off a pass off the donors.

Anyone who signs up will be told 'whoops sike! don't let the door hit you on the way out!' and then claim sovereign immunity if they try to sue.

Based on developments at my government workplace it looks like the current strategy is to simply remove any an all messaging displays, workforce-related or otherwise. Which makes a perverse kind of sense, since if the only 'acceptable' messaging is going to ultimately be White History Month type poo poo then better to (literally in this case) rip the displays and monitors off the walls than subject the workforce to that kind of messaging. We've got a pretty minority-heavy staff and there's legit fears that because all the recent job postings had generic 'commitment to DEI' boilerplate language they're going to be targeted for any future RIFs, even though we're chronically failing to fill open billets.
