Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

Have you ever thought about a job in a warehouse, driving a forklift or order picker? That's what I do, here in Sydney. You still have to deal with people but I found it a lot less than working in retail which I hated and was no good at and people are fucking idiots. I was 34 when I started here, after not working for two years between 2014 and 2016. I was depressed and miserable and just randomly applied for the job as part of Jobseeker payments. It's helped me a lot working here.
There really aren't any warehouse jobs near me, the order pickers have to work at a pace I couldn't possibly match and need to get up to fucking early, and I'd be deadly behind the wheel of a forklift. I spent years working on the floor stocking and all of that at Wal-Mart, so I am able to handle that, I'd just rather deal with animals more at this point.

I know what you mean. My little sis did some work at a Dingo sanctuary and she thought it was the best.

Would a backup generator allow me to continue using Comcast internet during a power outage, or is there stuff outside my neighborhood that also requires power for Comcast to work?
 
As long as there's power to your home, your internet should still work.

AFAIK, the only devices that have to have power in order to get you internet access are the ones inside your home - cable modem, router, etc. I'm not aware of anything outside the home that requires power.

At least that's how it works in my neighborhood. If my power goes out, and my generator kicks in, I get internet back as soon as my modem and router go back up. YMMV.

Actually, it depends on infrastructure of the internet system. While some line amplifiers are driven by a DC voltage, there may be portions that are powered by the utilities.

All bets off if power outage was caused by accident that took out power distribution system.
 
My sister asked me for a small amount of money today. I’m happy to help her out, but what’s strange is why she’s asking me when our father just got a decent sized inheritance from his uncle with a big chunk of it already with her name on it.

I think the answer is, she’s already asked them so many times she’s mitigating the embarrassment by going to someone new.
 
Working from home, I had to stop using my Apple Magic Mouse because the slightest movement can be registered as a scroll-zoom, making everything a pain in the butt (and all those sites that tell you how to temper this movement, it doesn't work). If you use a Magic Mouse, go to an interactive map and you'll see what I mean.

So I bought a basic wired mouse with a scroll wheel, and apparently the "natural" scroll wheel direction is for up to go down and down to go up? That was awkward as hell for me. I had to unclick that "natural" box to make down down and up up.
