I like dogs. But this one time, my friend's daughter was riding her horse and the neighborhood nuisance pitbull mix or whatever tried to attack her (and him) through the woven wire fence. He went to his garage. He never saw the fat-headed dog or his vice grips again. Just remembered that and it made me feel good.

I get that he killed the dog, but with vice grips? How?

Nah, dog wasn't killed. Its muzzle was through the fence. Pinching its nose was meant to be a disincentive for poor behavior, but the pliers locked and the dog instantly disappeared with some of the loudest noises ever heard.

Wow, their behavior is so surprising.

[Biff_T]

I PL'd (precautionary landing) in a hood in DC a few years ago.  No shit, a homeless guy came up to me and asked "Is that your helicopter?".  I replied "yes".   He then immediately to asked me "Can I have five dollars?". Lol.

Lol.   Any wealth left by a deceased public servant should go back to the public.    It's our money she invested to make those millions!

Keep in mind:  some of them actually vote. 
 

The pilot did not survive.

Wonder if he would've had a chance given a little "tactical combat casualty care" at the scene.  Guess we'll never know.....

Or at least called 911 instead of filming their idiocy.

I had to check out that crash area. America’s best go to Fitzgerald Georgia. Zillow has a house nearby sold for $30k if that indicates to you the socio economic demographic.

All Democrat voters I’m sure.

[GrndPndr]

The vibe I received when viewing that, was that these folks might as well have been looking at a crashed UFO.  This was so foreign to them, they didn't even know what to do.

[Smokin]

There are also places that ambulances are really hesitant to go to and normally require a police escort.  This might be one of those neighborhoods.  Possibly something to add to your flight planning.

A place where the housing costs less than a Honda Fit = threat ring.

I don't have Tik Tok, you can watch without an account.  Poor young lady is upset that a 9-5 job is impacting her social life.

Pretty entitled, but I'm more worried about all the people agreeing with her. 

[SocialD]

I mean, I'd be pretty pissed if I had a daily commute of 1.5 hours on the front/back end of work.  I'd be equally as pissed if I had to work a 9-5 office job.  It's one of the reasons I disliked being full time in the military, though ours was 0645-1730 (4 days/week).  Groundhog day every day, to the same dingy building built in the early 50s as a fallout shelter (painted cinder block walls and no windows).  In the winter it's drive to work in the dark and drive home in the dark.  I genuinely disliked the repetitive nature of the work, even if the flying was a nice break from my office duties.  This is one of the big reasons I've been a part timer nearly my entire career. 

 

Rona has really reshaped people's view on work/life balance.  For some it's all they know now and going back to work in office is a shock.  Many are opting to move along than go back to the office, and there are remote jobs for the taking if you have the skills.  I know my gf will never go back...her job has already tried.  They keep granting her "waivers" because she valuable (as SME in her field) and they know she isn't bluffing.  Going into the office isn't an option because her employer is located 3 hours away.  Of course this is her second career and not starting out like this broad.  

 

Anyway, all her friends are probably remote and living it up (according to their SM accounts anyway...another big issue) while she slogs it out with the rest of the suckers.  I also don't envy the shitty economics situation (pay vs cost of living today) many of these kids find themselves in, especially anyone who works in the city.  That said, after she finishes her little breakdown, she needs to do something about it, get a new skill, find work closer or get roommates and move into the city.   

 

And yes, I get it, all previous generations had to walk up hill, while fighting off manbearpig with one arm and starting a business with the other arm.  Before college, I worked a construction job that started work a 0630 and often didn't finish the day until well after sundown.  It sucked, I thought to myself this sucks, I was pissed about it, I just didn't have SM to vent about it lol.  Of course I also actually did something about it.  I wonder what she'll do.

My prediction is another couple of months of trying then find her calling in staying at home, championing causes of “oppressed” people and landing a straight white male to fund her noble calling.

The WFH people are one recession away from being back in the office. Obviously some will get to do it forever, sure, but there were WFH jobs before COVID. 

 

The productivity of the average person in a WFH position is not great. No one should be surprised by this.

Sometimes; and probably with a statistical slant toward the COVID WFH crowd; probably nailed it with "average person".

My Frau has been WFH since 2015.  By any measure her productivity has increased since she left the office, been promoted above her BA credentials, above standard raises; there was a minor brouhaha a couple of years ago where she was an RCH from bouncing, resume polished ready to publish on Linkedin.   Management fell all over themselves to keep her.  *Maybe* overall she's been paid slightly under industry standard for the work she's been doing over the past eight years; what's kept her from actively putting her resume out over these years has been the QoWL; hard to beat being able to send the kids out the door in the morning, get most of your productivity done in gym attire, then be home for the kids getting off the bus in the afternoon.  Was super convenient during the pre-school/kindergarten years!

I think the COVID WFH crowd has treated the experience like substitute-teacher day, everyday.  Productivity...if they feel like it.
