As the rightful Pope I’m issuing a Papal Bull to excommunicate you for your typo.

My employer uses Citrix to run our proprietary apps. Every “upgrade” they issued just made it worse to the point that it was crashing multiple times and day. Since we’re a 25/7 operation we had to have IT on standby all the time to reboot the servers every time they crashed. Citrix support said there was nothing in the logs other than the crashes so it must be our brand new hardware.

It got so bad that corporate paid the IT team extra to build a web based version as a backup. It’s slower than Citrix but at least when Citrix crashes we have a fallback that works.

Thankfully corporate has given the green light for a custom built system, so now we’re all just waiting for the corporate machine to go through the bidding process so we can start working with whoever they pick.

I work in international freight and my department focuses on the U.S. - Canadian border. We’ve been bracing for a decline but so far our volume has been steadily increasing.

I see the documents for every shipment crossing my assigned gateway and it looks like consumer goods are staying at the same volume, but B2B is increasing. So while Canadian consumers are boycotting American goods, industry is reliant on American parts to continue functioning.

I’m assuming the increased volume is a result of companies buying things that they know they will need in the future before the trade war intensifies and those same parts cost them even more.

As a non-Catholic American, I have the same worry for the global geopolitics. It just so happens that the united states is part of those geopolitics.

My employer gives everyone in management a cell phone. At least once a quarter someone from management has to travel across the border to do site visits and the like. Most people will only carry the work phone when traveling because of CBP and TSA inspections.

Immaculate facehugger followed by the virgin bursting… virgin chest bursting… didn’t think you could make a chest burster sound worse but virgin bursting managed.

It happens, I knew what you meant.

I actually hadn’t thought it through that far, that makes a lot of sense.

Same here, but I saw this a few weeks ago and knew I had to use it.

I always forget about central America. Also I suck at geography, I have it stuck in my head that anything south of Mexico is south America.

Thanks for the correction.

Him being dead wouldn’t be the only reason. If he’s allowed back to the U.S. he’d be subject to our laws about treatment of prisoners and there’s a good chance he would get word out about how bad it is in that south American concentration camp. They know they can’t let that happen.

This is why I switched to sceptre, they’re good quality, low cost, dumb displays.

So either the EU steps up and funds them until the administration tariffs the EU until they stop.

Or we rely on the big tech companies to step up and fund them and risk pissing off the administration.

Honestly the only way I see them coming back is either up root their lives and move to the EU with a funding guarantee, or the EU just sets up their own program.

I imagine it will cause at least a one day delay in SpinRite.

I listen to SN while at work. I may take next Tuesday night off and grab a big bag of popcorn.

Bloody good offer, mate.

I just looked at my head and shoulders bottle and it does recommend rinse and repeat. It does not however discuss why. I was more pointing out that the first person I was replying to could have just shared the information that they seem to have rather than saying ask someone.

It’s 1:30 A.M. and the 24 hour hairdresser hotline (1-800-cut-hair) was shut down years ago, maybe you could explain.

In the name of tragedy…in my ass

I’m looking for what others have to say, I’m not that interesting.
