I'm heading your way tonight. Getting in around midnight.

Besides getting used to the new interface here, who hit it with the ugly stick? (I use one of the dark themes, so maybe it's just me.)
Got two call outs this morning, been doing more driving than billable things this morning, yuck.
Been using the default theme for awhile now because the dark themes doesn’t look right to me.

how is driving not billable? If you really need to be onsite, that seems like a billable thing to me - otherwise do it remote, don't waste the time traveling...

New policy after a company merger. Doesn't make sense to us either!

Is this for the permanent move to Nica?

@travisdh1 if travelling time isn't billable, charge them for fuel.
We used to charge 75c / Km. -
got asked if I could get some data off a 3.5" floppy yesterday.
thought about it and thought, if it's on a 3.5" floppy then the info can't be too important, otherwise it would have already been transferred onto something else. Also thought, if the data is only on that then there's a very good chance the data isn't what they think it is.
Sorry, can't help.

I can't be the only person who does this.
- Start a ML post.
- As you're writing it, realize you need to a bit more homework so you can actually have an intelligent discussion concerning whatever the post topic was.
- Realize it's late and you're tired. Aforemetioned post can wait until tomorrow.

@eddiejennings nope you're not. I often start typing a question and the problem becomes clearer as I type & I end up solving the mystery myself.
It's a very useful thing to do, while typing you're focusing on the problem more than just thinking about it.

On the Marta. Working my way to Norcross.

I actually train my team that this is one of the reasons that we post our challenges. The act of posting alone helps us to find the answer.

Groovin' on some Cosmic Gate.

Just ordered an Uber. I bet I've not done that in five years. Lol

My dealings with many of their various types of business have left me unhappy. I read the article as AT & T going wah, wah, we'll fix our mistakes, wah, wah, we need more money, wah wah, we don't want to do the extra work.
While I do get the fact that if they have to build out fiber infrastructure in the Middle of Nowhere, that it will take longer to see a ROI, so they really don't want to do it. I say stay out of it and let cities that want to roll their own do it. There's been a few cities that have done so and have gotten good results and happy customers.

Yeah, there's something not 100% about the theme I'm using (Darkly)... but they are sorted with my Dark Reader browser extension.

From what I recall reading last night - this was mostly about rural.... It's hard for me not to side with them on the expense to supporting rural America - they likely never make up the expenses...
the incoming satellite solutions should help a lot!
