Open Bar: Subpoenaed by Congress, but still refusing to testify

[Doktor Howl]

the boards' been weird for me. Load time is fine but the issue is what's loading

You utter bastard.

Is the forum taking a long time to load for anyone else?

Here comes the inquisition.
I'm not seeing any slow down, if you want I can take a look, if so:
How are you accessing it, phone or desktop, if phone wifi or 3g?
Are you using https or plain http? What forum theme are you using?

I think I am angrier with myself for still falling for it

I can't speak for Juana but...

Phone, WiFi and 4G LTE are both having the issue (I switch back and forth on occasion). HTTPS, of course, and the dark mobile theme you put together (thanks for that by the way!)

LTE speeds should be good, and wifi shoudn't be it unless you where having issues with multiple websites, though I am seeing some weird lag:

Tests speeds from around the place, and I am seeing some as high as six seconds, in others 0-1 second, I'm wondering are there regional things going on, or the website itself is serving inconsistently. I'll have a look from the server side and see if there is anything going o

btw:I haven't forgotten about the contrast for the dark theme either by the way (I see it myself at work, it can be hard to read the text), will play around with it a bit more first free day I get

Update!

This job is impressive. These jobs, I should say. Making more than double what I was before, whether doing what I was doing before or doing the data security auditor thing. Oh, right, I get to pick which one I want because both teams are interested in me. Actively interested. Having an inside line to the hiring process sure does make my resume more enticing.

The word has gone out that this is done. It's literally official communication of where I want to go, and then paperwork. I have it.

Learned a bit more about the company too: VERY excited to work for them, literally doing stuff I've been wanting done. There are better jobs, but with my history and who I am, I have no chance of getting them. This is the best I can aim for by a fair amount, second place is looking like 20/hr and this is at least 33/hr to start, /with/ the possibility of up to 38/hr starting.

That's a lot of money for me. I like the sound, for different reasons than standard.

The Gay Agenda: funding your friends' trips to The Gay Bar. I'll have to find one, but you had better believe I will.

Lmao, all good.

- phone, desktop (Chrome and Chrome OS, if that matters), WiFi (multiple networks), and 4G.

- HTTPS across the board. The theme that is supposed to be more mobile friendly bc I'm mostly a mobile user at this point.

Super not looking forward to any of my super expensive conferences to be cancelled because of Coronavirus.

They're still a couple months off, so I have time, at least for Kalamazoo. Oxford is a different animal since we're making an actual vacation of it, and have a crazy trip booked across Southern England.

Trying not to get my anxiety get the best of me with this, but I do need to sit down and get these papers written, nonetheless.

The UK does seem to be taking the virus somewhat more seriously than the US.

While I can't guess how this will impact summer conferences, which are hugely profitable for our universities, I can say we are at least carrying out tests at a respectable rate. Not as good as South Korea (no-one is as good as South Korea) but it is at least being taken seriously by the government and NHS.

We'd like to take it seriously, but Mike Pence is trying to pray it away instead.

That's great.  That's a pretty good dollar.

Yep. I have pressure from one of the roommates saying I might be on the streets before the training even starts for it all, but if I can dodge that fate I can give this roommate the double finger, take my router (“oh you want internet? Haha funny”) and get an apartment I can put my friend up in so he doesn’t have to be around roommates who want to party till 5AM and don’t care if he needs to work in the morning.

I might be nocturnal but I’m at least goddamned polite about it.


EDIT: The hunt is on for a situation from the 18th to first paycheck, because the roommate wants hard copy paperwork proof I have a job lined up, and refuses to change her mind on the date anyway? Fuck her. The only point of wanting the paperwork if she’s not going to do anything differently is to accuse my friend of lying so I don’t go to the streets, which manages to be offensive as fuck to literally everyone involved for the sake of being offensive to literally everyone. No other fucking point in asking for paperwork you will fucking ignore.

I have a special plan for her.

Try not to burn bridges, unless you have no choice.  Use remotely-detonated mines, instead.  It's funnier.

Good luck.  You can do this.

This is a careful situation, because there is a lovely demon cat involved that I want ONLY the best for. For all his faults, he is one of my favorite cats in a lifetime of good cats.

This vengeance has to have devastating effect, incalculable fallout, and absolutely no unintended consequences. It will be a vengeance lovingly crafted, intricate and irreplaceable, like a Swiss watch.
