[CS Lounge] Caffeine, Snacks, and a Warm Fire

Thanks I thought I was going crazy. When I like a post that doesn’t show it has any likes it all of a sudden shows the proper amount of likes. Oh and it is giving me the “This post has already been flagged for moderator attention…” when I’m replying to your post. LOL.

I just finished listening to the Annual Disney Shareholder call. Pathetic! Iger hid behind AI voiced questions with prescreened answers, audio only. He did not take any calls. That’s the second year in a row. What a coward!

If this hasn’t been an observable trend for years, it certainly should be now. Executive public engagement (even with a nominally friendly “public”) is going to be more gatekept and arms-length.

In a world where unpopular executives get shot, a non-coward exec would be rare.

Meesa no likey the new look. It clashes massively.

Did some delves today. I did 3 so far. They were kind to me. I got a shoulder, boots, necklace and gun upgrade. I also met the underthing. Forgot his name. I didn’t kill him, but he didn’t kill me either. He just ran off and left a pile of loot on the floor. Now I know what Guuah was talking about. There’s a lot going on in that fight.

It’s cold and rain/snowy. I decided to make a small turkey roast for dinner. Mashed taters and stuffing as well. It feels like that kind of a day. We had chili yesterday so needed another comfy meal.

Uh-huh. Sure. :rofl:

That may not be related to the forums issues. :wink:

On the subject of wonkiness, we had issues today where users were seeing stuff for the wrong clients. And I’m sure we had people working on our backend systems. Which they never warn us about. “(This thing) isn’t working the way it should.” “Oh, we made a change last night.” “Where’s the notice?” “(insert cricket noises)”

That’s the test environment, too.

-Or…-

“We don’t need no stinking test environment.”

TBH I was a little surprised auto complete didn’t suggest the capitalized version.

Anyway, that was yesterday. This morning was just above freezing when I got to work. This afternoon it’s beautiful and sunny and not quite warm but also not cold. It sure is March.

I did it. I left the house. I went to Home Depot and to the grocery store.

  • Brought the old paint can the former owners left for the door/trim paint. Got it color matched and have a new gallon! Now I can fix the 20 year old fading blue paint on the roof peak and shutters.
  • Got 6 bags of garden soil
  • Got 3 bags of cedar mulch
  • Got a bag of dutch iris bulbs (30)
  • Got ground beef and pork loin roast that were on sale.

Interwebs was under construction again today so…

  • Weeded the front garden and side garden
  • Put down 3 of the garden soil bags
  • Planted 30 dutch iris bulbs
  • Transplanted purple bee balm and violas.
  • Put down 3 bags of mulch
  • Cleaned up the gardens a bit.

I am currently really really tired! Front garden re-work is now on year 2 and coming along nicely I think. We shall see if my Russian Sage made it through winter then I have a few more things I want to plant. Shasta daises, maybe some perennial hibiscus (mallow) plants. Depends on what I can find for free volunteer plants in my gardens/neighbor’s gardens.

Gardening is still several weeks out. Yardwork is another week or so. Snow is mostly gone but temps are still in the 40s and ground is still frozen.

We are having that really weird temp swing weather. Ground is thawed and yesterday was 70. Then we end up with low 30s and rain tonight. I am only really doing the prep work for the most part, and the stuff I transplanted is coming up on its own. Nothing that is not cold weather hardy.

Now to figure out when I can do the house roof peak painting… That one is going to be a challenge. I don’t think I get a good couple days again this month. I need the night temps to stay above a certain point depending on paint type.

Yep.

Snow here throughout most of the day, now it’s absolutely clear and the sun is shining, but a pretty strong north wind is blowing, so it feels pretty chilly.

/Tidies the lounge and stokes the fire. Sets out several pots of hot cocoa and a tray of toppings. Puts fresh dryer warmed blankets out by the fire.

Is the CS forum page different today or am I just crazy?

Forum updates are going on right now. Some things will stay changed, some are just temporary as they do the updates.

They’re not mutually exclusive. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey now… :melting_face:

So, a new update, and it still doesn’t involve cake.

Is the cake really that much of a lie?
