He's in Australia.

His wife has it too. Her name is Rita Wilson.

I often thought the soccer ball name, while yes it was the manufacturer of that ball, was a shout out to Rita in a kinda romantic way. If Tom was gonna be marooned with anybody he wanted it to be Wilson.

Granted I never bothered to look up when they were married or even if this timeline makes sense though 🤷‍♂️

Right. Jenny Gave him the AIDS he had in Philadelphia.

If John Coffey were still alive he could absorb the sickness, but he done walked the Green Mile.

He was 108 in the green mile. Must have the Magic Johnson strain.

Wrong. This is what the Church wants you to believe, but if you analyze the paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci, you will soon uncover the truth.

I’m not going to Italy just to find hidden clues about the Illuminati in some secret church catacomb under the coffin of a Templar knight

Edit : I may have mixed like three different movies together there once I got on a roll . Lol

That’s great advise for paper pushers , bean counters and administration. The true labor force will just have to suffer through it .

Build it on your lot at home and then just get a giant drone or 4 to bring it in and set it. Just think, you show up to pour a slab in a hazmat suit. Get the final measurements for the hookup points. Go back to your property and build the house, then drone it in and hook it up while wearing hazmat suit.

This goes into the plus column for sure . Being the glass half empty guy here .. less cars , means less distracted cops , that just means more focused DOT . Now I’m sad again . Lol

I’m already fortunate enough to have my ivory tower and not sit in a goat pen.

But after corporate America has spent so much effort trying to convince workers that being corralled like so much cattle is good for productivity now they might be forced to rethink that stance to be considered “pandemic proof” going forward? Maybe this was worth it after all.

We as engineers absolutely despise the open office collaborative work environment. Our weird brains need to close off our surroundings so we can focus.

One of the recurring rhetoric lines is the younger generation of engineers prefers this type of office as it helps them collaborate! My own polling results? From mild disdain to vehement rejection. Pretty much the same as us older out of touch not hip engineers.

Doesnt really make a health difference if you are all on the same recirculated air system the open office was before.

Like SBS proved being in your own little space doesnt make you less likely to get an airborne communicable disease.

The more effective route would be more fresh air, and thus more discharge. Only issue with that is power demand to condition all that fresh air.

Offices are very good spots for most airborne diseases to incubate and fester as there is less airflow to keep pockets from growing. In larger spaces those pockets get isolated where there is no movement which means away from people.

Depending on how virulent/strong the disease is, closed offices are probably not a valid solution for this.

I’m an office guy as well. Spend most of the time with the door closed, too.

I used to work for a company that had an open floor plan concept and learned that it just doesn’t work for me.

Shut the hell up and butt out Louder! 🤬

I had the same thought while reading it. And it’s the same reason I won’t get on an airplane right now even if they try to force me to. I dread flying during cold and flu season. Flying during bubonic plague season is just lunacy.

Never understood open concept. Snaps the ability to focus without interruption.
Btw.... Nurses are really bad at interrupting co-workers like it's almost ok to have bad manors. I've been guilty then I have to remember my upbringing.
